I don’t like the interrobang. It looks too crowded, and the sharp angle created between the question mark and the exclamation mark looks out of place in among latin alphabet letters.

It should be 8 Hz, but according to the question text, that would mean answer “A”, while according to the labels next to the answer options, it would be “B”, because they’re inconsistent.

Is that really a meme? Looks more like some random software QA failure. Is there a community for software gore or something?

I’ve gotten used to this. The posts where I write several paragraphs and go kinda in-depth on a topic, and even do some research in the background on to make sure I don’t talk complete nonsese routinely get no upvotes at all. The ones that rise to the top are snippy one-liner remarks that get a cheap laugh out of people, but honestly don’t add anything of substance to the discussion.

It’s been pointed in several places already, but: That’s not the guy. The one in the surveillance camera footage had a jacket without these high front pockets.

Because after moving very slowly and steadily for just about forever, the other galaxies will suddenly make a jump of like ten thousandth of a degree.

Imagine the following:

You actually can stop the time by snapping you fingers, but it stops time for the entire universe, including yourself, with the exception of one single observer on some unimportant planet in the Andromeda galaxy. After 100 years from the POV of that observer, time resumes again.

Would you even be able to tell?

Attempted electrical substation sabotage is an easy way to fix your loneliness forever. And also all of your other problems.

The biggest credit scoring institution in the USA.

Not very easily. Concise, easy to understand and correct explanations of how modern money (arguably since 1971) works are not easy to come by, and also the system just is a bit weird and counter intuitive. (Concise, easy to understand, but wrong explanations are, of course, all over the place. Almost everybody thinks they know how money works. Almost nobody actually does.)

One source that explains some of it would be “Debt: The first 5000 years” by David Graeber, but a) it’s a fairly lengthy book with quite a lot of historical background and b) it has a fairly strong politicial spin to it.

National debt is basically where money comes from in the first place. Unless you are willing to change the most fundamental, basic nature of how modern money even works, you cannot run a (major) country without debt. It’s not even just a question of good or bad fiscal policy, it is literally mathematically impossible.

Floating Point Unit. The thing that does mathematical operations on floating point numbers. It used come separately from the CPU as an add-on chip, but around the 486 era, manufacturers started integrating it on the same die as the CPU. Of course, as these things go, from the system programmers point of view, there is still no difference between an add-on FPU and an integrated one.

The one pictured here is an add-on FPU for an Intel 80386 CPU.

Ist der Ruf erst ruiniert, lebt es sich ganz ungeniert.

But this is about companies, not products or brand names.

WhatsApp is not its own company, it belongs to Facebook/Meta.

Also, on that topic, you could do the same thing you did with X/Twitter to Meta/Facebook.

*edit: Oh, and of course Alphabet/Google. Curious how many big tech companies seem keen on obfuscating their own name these days…

Well, yeah, dividing something by 0.5 is the same thing as multiplying it by 2…

Top Left – More or less the default position, sensible enough, if a bit naive. Nothing wrong with this.

Top Right – Having knowledge is a good thing, and so is making decisions based on sound risk-benefit analysis.

Bottom Right – Well, at least it’s an informed decision. Just don’t try to pass off the risk on someone else if it backfires.

Bottom Left – Oooouuuuh, you don’t want to be in this quadrant, trust me…

The way I, as another European, understand this, he’s flying an anti-oppression flag and a pro-oppression flag at the same time.

Does “duress” not enter into it as well?

It’s weird, I wouldn’t have imagined those two to be hugely different when it comes to to things like human development or corruption, but in on this map, they’re on opposite ends of the spectrum, Bulgaria being the lowest value bar none, and Romania being surpassed only by Austria…
