I mean, it’s used in English as well. Lots of English words originated in French…

I was bummed that they gave Bulgaria a fifth color, when they were clearly aware that you only need four colors, but then I saw that it’s not a contiguous landmass, so I guess, that’s a valid way of grouping those two…

Honestly, kind of wild that that’s the plot to any movie. It sounds like the most depressing thing you could watch…

Try saying it out loud.

And looking closely at the picture.

You can also often get TVP for pretty cheap, as it’s a byproduct of vegetable oil production. Might be sold as “soy chunks” or similar.

In particular, you can prepare it to be chewy like a steak, which I was somewhat missing from other vegan foods…

I mean, this research wouldn’t be able to tell what about oranges makes these bacteria thrive, so would need a separate study for dried oranges or similar variations.

Having said that, your tea likely has so little actual orange in it, that it’s very likely negligible either way.
There’s probably just a tiny bit of orange in each tea bag to begin with, and it might even just be orange peel. And then it’s just traces of that which go into your tea water, too.

Of course, drinking tea in general can probably also help with depression in some way. At the very least, it hydrates you and presumably improves blood circulation, which can help get you out of a rut.

I’ve been setting an alarm for 20 minutes, because that’s supposed to be the optimal length for a nap (before you enter deeper sleeping phases, which you shouldn’t interrupt until like more than an hour of sleep time).

Sometimes, the 20 minutes work great, but sometimes it takes me like ten minutes to fall asleep. Then it always feels like the alarm robs me of the actual nap time. 🥴

Mine isn’t actually very warm. Like, it’s just tiny glass marbles inside. My other blanket that weighs maybe a tenth is much warmer, because it has actual fluffy stuffing inside…

In a similar vein, I also try to see it as an opportunity to make my conversation partner smarter (if I happen to be right, of course).

For “winning”, it’s enough to prove that what they’re saying is wrong. But for making them smarter, you need to point out what’s correct and why that makes sense.
Well, and in general, it’s a whole different way of formulating, i.e. less hostile, more helpful.

In the vast majority of cases, that makes all the difference for actually convincing them.
And it certainly hones your own mind much better, too, when you actually give the explanation rather than just pointing out fallacies.

Yeah, never liked the online communities. Like, they’re good when people can ask there for advice, in case they’re stuck in some ultra-religious family or village. But most of the time, they just devolve into anti-theism, because “religion bad” is sure to get you upvotes…

Especially since, if you actually wanted to keep it under wraps, you would not be talking about it.

There were leaks of Mythos on the day it was announced, because once the name was known, it was trivial to find the download URL at one of the distributors.

Not to worry, you just have to click here:

Thanks, that’s exactly what I was looking for. Deeper down from there, I also found the information that:

1. Countries/languages were allowed to continue putting the € in front or behind, like where they put their currency sign before the euro was introduced.
2. Yes, for English, it was decided on before, because of the £ and $.
3. The English EU style guide says explicitly:

   The euro sign is followed by the amount without space: “a sum of €30”
   The same rule applies in Dutch, Irish and Maltese. In all other official EU languages the order is reversed; the amount is followed by a hard space and the euro sign: “une somme de 30 €”

• 3: https://style-guide.europa.eu/en/content/-/isg/topic?identifier=7.3.3-rules-for-expressing-monetary-units

I’ve never even heard that it’s supposed to go in front. Interestingly, the English Wikipedia article for the Euro does put it in front, the Italian, French and German articles does not.

Maybe it was decided to put the € in front for English, because £ and $ are in front, but to put it behind like every other measuring unit for other languages?

Yeah, linked lists are rarely a good idea. Modern memory optimization, where contiguous regions of memory are loaded into CPU caches, means that array-backed lists have better performance in virtually all situations.

In a way, I’d want to argue that you should actually only ever roll your own linked lists, because you should only use linked lists when you’re not working in-memory, i.e. when array-backed lists are not an option to begin with.

I mean, I do find the American burger chain food aesthetic rather unappetizing. The food looks like it’s made out of plastic and rubber.

With the offset bun, it’s not massively better, because it’s still the same food, but at least you get the impression that it didn’t fall out of a 3D printer.

Yeah, I’m aware. Just sharing that the article author kind of wrote an even worse sounding sentence, and I can’t help but feel that !theyknew@lemmy.sdf.org.
