Eh, you don’t need to know the entire history and reasoning behind numbers, just that the numbers we use are called Arabic numerals, which most people don’t. The history is confusing, the fact that they are called Arabic numerals is not. It’s just what they are.

Their God will save them any time now. All those years of oppressing women will surely pay off.

“Make Russian your official language!”

10 Years Later

“We must invade and claim territory, the majority of the population speaks Russian so obviously it’s already Russia”

If I want AI for whatever reason I will go search for AI. I don’t need a chatgot like service running on my PC all the time for the handful of times I might want to use it. I will go to chatgpt if I need to use it for something.

They also shouldn’t be allowed to do anything political on their personal accounts, such as trying to get contributions or clarify political stances, etc. if they have any potential constituents banned or blocked

Nah, anarchy probably wouldn’t have cops to come pick him up at the end. They’d just beat him some more until they felt justified enough cause what else ya gonna do?

Yes I would also love a new calendar. But we can hardly come to consensus on getting rid of daylight savings time let alone a new calendar lol.

I don’t see why it sucks, it just makes sense to start it on the winter solstice as the days start to get longer and longer / shorter and shorter depending on the hemisphere you are in

I wouldn’t mind 6 days on 4 days off

Eh fuck religions, they can keep their old antiquated calenders.

I would like this calender but we would need to adjust it so that new years falls on the winter solstice.

Plus the 5 leap days would need to be a global celebration / holiday period, and the 6th day every 4 years a massive holiday.

I wouldn’t mind a 10 day week if it meant work 6 and then get a 4 day weekend.

But who am I kidding our corporate overlords would expect at least 8 on and 2 off

Wait… Was I a poor kid?

Yo this dude didn’t mention hunting or owning guns. How lame.

The prestige of a journal is ranked based on how often it gets cited (or in other words, how influential the papers are within the journal).

Wouldn’t this mean that other smaller journals could still publish the random common boring studies and then pretty much everyone would be citing those, since the boring stuff like “Trees consume carbon dioxide” would be cited a lot more than specific stuff like “Molecule XX₂ can affect the brain development of Augustus caesarius if introduced between the ages of 3 and 6 months” and than become super prestigious?

It’s a good tactic because whatever lies the Whitehouse comes up with to defend against the first few leaked things might be countered by the next few leaked things. They have no idea what is available to be leaked next so have to be careful what they say.

If it all came out at once they would know exactly what they have to work with when crafting their story.

As well, coming out a little bit at a time means people can focus and pay attention to the details, discuss it.

If 20,000 emails were all of a sudden leaked hardly anyone would care because no one would be talking about the same things at the same time and the details get lost

I don’t get why people even bother with stuff like Coors and bud and Heinekan or whatever. There are lots of other options that are good and not close to water. I have not once bought any of those big corporate run beers since I started drinking beer.

I can see why journals would not want to publish boring papers in the days of paper magazines and limited space but why would they not be published digitally nowadays? Limited by people able to review them?

Windows has had a bug that’s driven me mad since before Windows 10 and it doesn’t seem they have any intentention to fix it.

When I try to rename files, I always click somewhere in the text of the name or highlight a specific portion, and then 90% of the time RIGHT before I start typing to add or change the name, it randomly highlights the entire thing so the whole text gets replaced instead of the one section I wanted to change.

INFURIATING and it’s been years that it’s happened, between two different versions of Windows!

There’s also another 2 or 3 other bugs that are just as infuriating but I don’t imagine will ever be fixed or changed because why the fuck would microsoft care.

I hate how tech companies just constantly want to change everything.

Just give me something usable that I can get shit done with and fuck off. I don’t want your changes and updates and new feature.
