- Comment on If I stood on a precision scale and farted, would I get lighter or heavier? 2 weeks ago:
the scale would momentarily say you got heavier because of the added force pushing down on it from air movement but you you actually get lighter and the scale will soon say that as well

After talking about his own personal experience with violence in D.C., thanking Leavitt for Trump’s actions and slamming Democrats, Johnson asked if the president would consider Coristine—better known by his online nickname “Big Balls”—for a Presidential Medal of Freedom in view of his “heroic actions just a few blocks from this building.”
“Perhaps it’s something he would consider,” Leavitt replied.

- Comment on They made his car "cease & desist" 3 weeks ago:
i don't see that anywhere in the notice and such a clause would be unconscionable, IANAL.
All the notice claims is "violations of [ToS], including misuse of Tesla's trademarks and brand identifiers in media content that falsely implies endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation with Tesla."
- Comment on They made his car "cease & desist" 3 weeks ago:
This is purely nominative fair use.

"Why haven't you graded and returned any of my assignments yet this term?"
This is not that situation. The database includes everything including graded assignments. It HELPS teachers find the relevant materials because you don't have to dig through a giant stack instead of doing a Ctrl+F. In fact, you'll cause a ton of students need to leaf through their chunks of old files and gather their past submissions to repeat exactly what you went through for every single class. What you propose is not at all kind or ethical.
- Comment on Anon updates GNU/linux 3 weeks ago:
genuinely think of the teachers
- Comment on Anon updates GNU/linux 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on Sharing a Bed With Your Kid? It’s Totally Normal in Asia. 5 weeks ago:
According to Chinese Human Geography textbooks, native Mexicans are mongoloid and thus the same race as East Asians.
Not that I support this obsolete racial classification; just a relevant fun fact.

- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 1 month ago:
It was a tacked-on retrofit of a planned ambitious interurban streetcar network, converted to a light rail system after a lot of it was already built. The trains don't even use some of the built track. This used technology that was completely different from the rest of the network and only found there within all of Toronto. The sharp corners the cars weren't particularly designed for effected loud shrieking guitarless metal heard far and wide, loud and clear at the Kennedy bus platforms. When it came time to decide the future of the line, the planners decided to blow it up and start it anew (well, turn it into a three-station extension to Line 2); among other things, all of the above plus relatively low usage and decades of inattention prior to the "what now?" discussions made their usual maintenance unprepared and inadept. In fact, just four months before the planned closure, a train derailed due to failures of track maintenance.

btw as mentioned below, line 3 was cut to make way for replacing it with a line 2 extension
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 1 month ago:
outside the city
i swear i included that it was outside the centre... apparently i didn't, sorry
Double that for room for a family
the source includes prices for 3-bedroom flats
While living in a polluted city
fair but that's not exactly a construction safety condition
and it's not much either. the AQI there is squarely in the 50s, which is moderate, which means
Unusually sensitive people: Consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion. Watch for symptoms such as coughing or shortness of breath. These are signs to take it easier.
Everyone else: It's a good day to be active outside.i can't believe this is the official fed AQI language ngl it reads as if it was translated copy
What about 15 years ago?
if you really think it would change that much i think you should prove it
Imagine the outcry using this cheap technique to build in Toronto.
a lot more people everywhere live paycheck to paycheck as migrant workers than you probably think
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 1 month ago:
Even if that is true, this is pristine underground rail!
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 1 month ago:
Can you please "correctly present" what about the classic Chinese cookie-cutter metro technology is deficient and 25% behind Western technology?
For why Chinese metro construction seems apparently faster you can watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehTy-qQVZhM; it's just like them Cape Cod suburbs in North America.

Why‽ There's no sign of this subway failing at all. Rail enthusiasts everywhere praise Asian subways.
