  • JD Vance says GOP should threaten a shutdown: 'Why have a government if it’s not a functioning government?'

    Jump

  • It's not automatic everywhere! I'm pretty sure deciding where the money from the budget goes is the biggest decision the current government can take for shaping the country. But in other countries this is mostly passed by Parliament, where the government has the majority by design most of the time (that's why they are the ruling party or coalition). On the USA, the Congress and Senate thing is responsible for the deadlock.

  • Trump refuses to commit to 2nd debate with Harris -- saying she wants to because she lost

  • That's also the part I'm glad about. Not to put the Nazis on a pedestal or anything, but propaganda was something they took serious. Now it seems more like the right accidentally hits the notes their followers want to hear.

  • What are the most important holidays for each major religion?

    Jump

  • Yeah, that is the complete opposite of what the other comment said.

    What they said:

    • There are non-religious people who celebrate holidays with religious background
    • there are other religious holidays who are only celebrated by the really religious

    You provided a good example of the first case, that even non practicing Jews celebrate some holidays, same as many book Christians are celebrating Christmas.

  • But that is what we others are saying: there is no "more intuitive" system, just one you know better and can quicker evaluate how it would feel! So you agree with us.

    Everything you said can be said about Celsius scale as well.

    There is also a precedence for Celsius more than just an arbitrary number between 0 & 100.

    A scale for liquid water, you know, the stuff that is the reason why we call our little spaceship "the blue marble"and why we even have this discussion, because it is the basis of all life on earth, is also not a bad choice for a number between 0-100.

    And you made me curious: in what context did you have to calculate percentages of temperature that were not in Kelvin? Because as soon as percentages and temperatures are close to each other in one sentence the only example I can think of are things like reaction kinetic calculations and those are neither in Celsius nor in Fahrenheit.

  • If we want to go that road, intuition is according to Wikipedia:

    Intuition is the ability to acquire knowledge, without recourse to conscious reasoning or needing an explanation.[2][3] Different fields use the word "intuition" in very different ways, including but not limited to: direct access to unconscious knowledge; unconscious cognition; gut feelings; inner sensing; inner insight to unconscious pattern-recognition; and the ability to understand something instinctively, without any need for conscious reasoning.[4][5] Intuitive knowledge tends to be approximate.[6]

    Since every temperature system needs an explanation, namely the reference points, no system is or even can be intuitive per this definition.

  • Which system did you grow up with? Because I grew up from the start with Celsius und it is 100% intuitive to me. Everytime you americans use your funny temperature numbers I have to stop and use a tool for transforming it or I simply ignore it and go "low means cold and high means hot, how high? Ain't nobody got time for dat!"

    So I disagree with your notion that Fahrenheit is intuitive. The system you grew up with and have multiple experiences as reference points for, is the system you feel is intuitive is also my opinion.

  • Nearly, some identifier who it's from is also good. Without one? You can't complain if I throw it away at the end of the week cleaning.

  • I mean... that description is not far from the truth! Many small baby magnets created by two big magnets smashing together.

  • Of all of us

  • Am I the only one that thinks we should have dedicated buttons for copy/paste on keyboards?

    Jump

  • No and yes. If the copy and paste buttons would be at the position of page-up/down, I think many people would still use Ctrl+C because it is quickerto reach.

    If the keys would be at easily reachable positions, then sure.
