  • Gonna start calling my HOA the "Romulan Senate" because the similarities are striking.

  • In less wealth-unequal countries, things like parks, playgrounds and pools are run by the city/town or municipality.

  • That doesn't have anything to do with what I said. People fleeing the US will not be granted asylum in any country of the world due to what I said. They can apply for it alright, just won't do them any good and they'll be sent right back.

  • There's a lot of politics that go into who recohnises a country as bad enough to flee from. With what a giant threat the US is, other countries won't risk taking its citizens as refugees any time soon.

  • Yeah pretty much my point. I know you can maybe kinda construe it into the truth if you already know about the topic, like other commenters age saying, but it's presented as educational, and does a poor job at educating with how misleadingly it is phrased.

  • Our definition: either high enough or steep enough to have no vegetation at the top. For some people, only the former definition counts. But from experience, the definition must be different in Germany. Maybe someone from there can chime in to share their definition!

  • A LOT of the ones I've seen Germans refer to as that are hills to me, so maybe it's normal for some. The way we use it, Berg has to go over the tree line, or at the very least be steep enough at the top to not have vegetation there.

  • And honestly, this is just as encouraging. Some of this is stuff you cant exactly list on a CV for a job application. A lot of people have interesting experiences, hobbies and special interests under their belt and still feel bad about themselves because their unique skills/knowledge isn't exactly marketable or something your mum would brag about to other parents. And the stuff that actually does fall under the category of classic success (being in academia, working on the dictionary) isn't at all what he's famous for. If it's cool when Tolkien has a life like this, your unique experiences and skills are cool, too.

  • As an Austrian, this comment saying that 'Berg' translates to both hill and mountain explains a lot about what I've seen Germans refer to as Berg. To me it only means mountain.

  • That's pi/100 still. Didn't say it was a rational number, just that it was a fraction. Though I don't see a context where it'd make sense.

  • I mean, the sentence either implies what I said before, or it implies that the barycenter is a point outside the sun. I really don't see any other reading than those two.

  • It says it's so massive they orbit a common point. That directly implies this only happens over a certain mass.

  • The way this is phrased makes it sound like there's a certain threshold where this starts happening. That's not right. Even a grain of dust wouldn't orbit the sun, they still orbit their common barycenter. A less misleading way of phrasing would be that Jupiter is massive enough that the barycenter of it and the sun actually lies outside the sun, which is still a cool fun fact.

  • Yeah stuff like that really ain't it. It works in a few use cases, but is objectively wrong and detracts from understanding the topic properly. That's why I teach percentages as the fractions they are. By the time you learn percentages, you already know multiplying fractions is commutative, so the trick still works, and you also understand why.

  • Side note, it's near impossible yo find any info whatsoever on what 1-5 cigarettes a week do to your health. I used to casually smoke roughly that amount and wanted to know what the risk was but I genuinely couldn't find even a single study.

  • Someone told me the story of how she got addicted to drinking water, had 5+ litres a day. She eventually went to the ICU in critical conditions because just about all her electrolytes were completely depleted and her body was starting to shut down because of it.

  • I'm at the hospital as a patient at least once a month. A lot of doctors are bullies, but I've yet to see a single nurse that's so much as rude to me. At most a bit short when they're stressed, but never more than that.

  • He is, because spontaneous is, in fact, the correct term here.

    But also, mansplaining just means that someone explains something to another person when it's painfully obvious that the other person knows everything they're explaining, often way better than the person who's doing the explaining. Usually requires the over confidence that comes with unreflected privilege, such as being a man who subconsciously assumes that their gender gives them intellectual authority. Being wrong isn't a requirement for mansplaining. This would be a textbook example even if he had left out the first sentence (the part where he's wrong).
