- Comment on Is there really nothing the EU or NATO can do to stop Russian vessels cutting energy and communication cables at the Baltic sea? 9 hours ago:
That wouldn’t be good for the fragile ecosystem in the Baltic sea.
- Comment on Im watching an episode of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, filmed in black and white. In this scene a guest is showing glass making. What is going on with the film to make these black areas by the flame? 1 week ago:
No offense taken.
- Comment on Im watching an episode of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, filmed in black and white. In this scene a guest is showing glass making. What is going on with the film to make these black areas by the flame? 1 week ago:
I would suggest it’s the shadow the flame throws onto the coat of the glass maker, as they probably had a light source behind the camera while filming.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Yes, at first it contained only the part on the UWUlation test.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Yes, that’s why I commented on both, as their evaluation is different.

I’ve deleted my reply and made a new corrected one.

- Comment on Do you need to adjust your speedometer if you change the size of your tires? 2 weeks ago:
I know, but still the circumference differs. It’s 195/60R15 vs. 185/65R14
- Comment on Do you need to adjust your speedometer if you change the size of your tires? 2 weeks ago:
AfaIk, the speedometer is allowed to be overestimating your velocity by 10 %. On my car, it’s pretty accurate when using 15" the factory default summer tires, but it’s off by 10 % when using the factory default 14" winter tires.
- Comment on Isn't having your own domain name for email very bad for privacy? And how do you pick a good domain name that doesn't sound goofy? 3 weeks ago:
Yes, essentially, an email is the digital equivalent of a postcard.
- Comment on Chinese Keyboards 5 weeks ago:
Ah ok. Now I understand.
- Comment on Chinese Keyboards 5 weeks ago:
Is it used also for communication? I only know it’s being used for transcription of official documents like passports or addresses.
- Comment on Chinese Keyboards 5 weeks ago:
Isn’t Pinyin a romanisation method, i.e. writing chinese using the Latin alphabet instead of Chinese glyphs?
- Comment on For French origin words like "meter" American English inverted the last letters of "metre" to better match the pronunciation. Why isn't it also the case for other similar situations like "possible"? 5 weeks ago:
I think it wasn’t the point of OP that “meter” better matches the French pronunciation, but it does better match the (American and British) English pronouciation than “metre” does.
- Comment on Please explain this to me. Are consumers that dumb?!? 5 weeks ago:
Oils are often considered as fats, triglycerides, that are liquid at room temperature. Thus, any triglycerides that aren’t, aren’t oils.
- Comment on Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable? 1 month ago:
That’s really odd.
- Comment on Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable? 1 month ago:
What do you see then?
- Comment on Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable? 1 month ago:
That’s exactly what I wrote
mm^2should be rendered to square millimetres (mm^2) by the browser / app - Comment on Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable? 1 month ago:
16 AWG – 1.3 mm^2
14 AWG – 2 mm^2 12 AWG – 3.3 mm^2 10 AWG – 5 mm^2For us from the civilised part of the world ;-)
However, as in Europe we have 230 V system, approximately half the cross section, stated in the table above, is sufficient.
- Comment on Where can I download Ubuntu's community wallpapers? 1 month ago:
You can find the packages containing the Ubuntu wallpapers e.g. here: https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubuntu-wallpapers/
- Comment on Are there people without handedness? 1 month ago:
Yes, that exists as well.
- Comment on Are there people without handedness? 1 month ago:
Looking at the origin:
ambi, Greek: both;
anti, Greek: against, opposed;
dexter, Latin: right, skilful, clever; sinister, Latin: left, wrong, evil;So sinister is already anti-dexter, the ambi just emphasises that this not-skilfulness applies to both hands.
- Comment on Are there people without handedness? 1 month ago:
This practice was not exclusively Soviet. It happened in the rest of Europe too, even long before the Soviet Union, pupils were tought to use their fine hand, i.e. their right, for writing, while their left was bound to the chair. However, as being left handed isn’t exclusively a matter training, this practice causes drawbacks in other fields.

As the wavelength depends on the relative motion between the source of the EM wave and the receiver (matter), this isn’t a trivial question at all.
- Comment on Question about Windows OS when it finds a folder full of audio and sets the view properties as "music". Can this be stopped? 2 months ago:
It isn’t complicated, just too many ifs to give a brief answer here.
- Comment on Question about Windows OS when it finds a folder full of audio and sets the view properties as "music". Can this be stopped? 2 months ago:
The procedure elaborated here should do the trick: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/set-default-folder-view-windows
- Comment on I am about to board a flight. What sequence of events would occur if (by chance) for no apparent reason a window got completely smashed out? 2 months ago:
Well – is it technically a flight if the airplane is still on ground?
- Comment on I've noticed a lot of UK job applications use the American MM/DD/YYYY date format and some also say "resume" instead of CV. Does that annoy you if you're British? 2 months ago:
In German and Swedish, this would be totally fine. Beside this would be November 12th. The German way for the year would be twothousandtwentyfour while the Swedish would be twentyhundred twentyfour.
- Comment on Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons? 2 months ago:
We already have nuclear participation with the US. In case NATO decides for mutual nuclear defense, the US nuclear bombs stored in Germany exclusively for German use would be attached to airplanes of the German Air Force to be deployed onto their targets.
- Comment on Do you think being left-handed gives any unique qualities or advantages compares to other right handed? 2 months ago:
Me and a pal were the reason our kindergarden bought some lefty scissors.
