Well yeah, my source was “count the red squares in the image”

The world is somewhat larger than the red sea area.

Sharks have caused 7 deaths in some 50 years.

Cows have killed about 13 people in the Netherlands in a decade.

I kind of agree, and they might agree themselves too, but I don’t know.

There’s a big difference between hating what Russia, and by the extension, the Russian people, are doing, and hating every single Russian individually. It’s like hating the patriarchy, but not hating every single individual man.

Yes, collectively it’s their fault, but you can’t hold Yevgeni the farmer from Sertov, whose son got drafted against his will, personally responsible for Russian genocide in Ukraine.

You can definitely blame Baris from Moscow, who drives around with a “3 weeks to Berlin” bumper sticker and who has a bronze bust of Putin in his bedroom.

True, but very much not the main problem

Damn, she looks like the target insulted her personally.

I don’t know about which one specifically, but usually statues lack feet when they were stolen, since its easier to cut at the ankles than to bring the entire plinth with you.

Exactly. It’s called “having skin”.

And I can’t understand why.

Because some parents are assholes.

It looks absolutely ridiculous. But since Olympic athletes are doing, it probably works really really well.

Not being discriminated against is discriminating!

Amusingly, quite a lot of people still excuse Armenians and Azerbaijani people, despite them literally living in the Caucasusn and being the definition of Caucasian

I mean, 3 bottles of wine, 3 or 4 whiskeys and call it the better part of a liter of punch is a fair bit of alcohol. Im pretty sure it would have my “2 beers a week” stomach giving up halfway.

But it’s not a blackout drunk amount if spread over an evening and night. Student-me would consider an above average night.

They were mostly smaller, actually. Some 400 to 500 ml were pretty standard, unlike the bigger 750ml that you see today. Depending on what you bought and from where, your bottle could be really anything, but they were handmade and thick, so really big bottles would be really heavy.

Both wine and beer/cider bottles were basically completely non-standardized around then. They were mostly smaller, so with the benefit of the doubt let’s call it about as much as today.

Punch is harder to say. It was somewhere around 5 to 10% alcohol, but unfortunately a punch bowl could be a communal thing, being the size of a large family salad bowl and holding over 5 liters. But punch was also served from those bowel into handheld bowls, which was basically a cup.

Let’s go with the big ones and add a liter of punch each. So that 3 bottles of wine equivalent, 4 whiskey’s and a beer. Not exactly light drinking, but hardly the thing you brag about I would think.

Is it perhaps the “womp womp” sound on the trombone?

Transistors are basically magic, when you get down to the chemistry of them. But when you get up the “current here means current out there” part it becomes understandable again. Then you get to logic gates, and maybe up to basic addition and other operations. And all understanding disappears when you get to programmable circuits which run on pure magic once again.

The standard brace would be annoying, and your dress would drag in the mud

Oh my god, they were pikemaids!

The update that broke everything only pushed data, not code. The bug was extant in the software before the update, likely for years.

A terrifyingly large number of critical issues come to light like this. The code has been broken since the first release, but nobody noticed until a certain edge-case occurs.
