  An Integral is usually written like ∫ f(x) dx or alternatively as df(x)/dx. Please note that this is just a way to apply the Operation Integration, like + applies the Operation Addition. There is no real Multiplication or Division.

  But sometimes you can take a shortcut and treat dx as a multiplied constant. This is technically not correct, but under the right circumstances comes to the same solution as the proper way. This then looks like this ∫ f(y) dy/dx dx = ∫ f(y) dy

  Another thing you can do is to move multiplicative constants from inside the Integral to in front of the Integral: ∫ 2f(x) dx = 2 ∫ f(x) dx. (That is always correct btw)

  What anon did was combine those two things and basically write ∫ f(x) dx = dx ∫ f(x). Which is nonsensical, but given the above rules not easily disproven.

  This is more or less the same tactic used by internet trolls just in a mathy way. Purposefully misinterpreting arguments and information, that cost the other party considerably more energy to discover and rebut. Hence the hate fuck.

  My mostly on my gut feeling based counter argument would be:

  • So what? You are cooking the water afterwards cross-contamination between water samples isn’t a huge deal. Additionally, Filters (especially things like cloth) are cleanable and potentially sterilisable via cooking.

  • cooking is a violent process, grinding down particles, lessening the effectiveness of the filter. So you are potentially worse off, for no real gain.

  • You can’t always cook. Sometimes you have to sterilise water another way. E.g. via Exposure to as much UV/Sunlight as possible. Particles in the water lessen or prevent this from happening

  The word you are looking for is enthnicity. Enthnicity describes the (self-)perceived belonging to a population group. This is of course highly subjective.

  There is undeniably perception of grouping in the US based on heritage, where it doesn’t really matter when your ancestors arrived, just from where. So from an American POV it makes sense to call him Italian, because he is in the same perceived group as all the people from Italy.

  On the other hand from a European POV it doesn’t really matter, where your great grandparents come from. You are part of the US-Group, so you are American.

  This is not an exclusive US Problem, but a general migration problem & it happens everywhere. Comments like yours are the reason, why people from migrated families feel like they are in-between cultures. Instead of writing snarky comments on the internet, just accept that your perception of ethnicity is part of your ethnicity and other people can have other perceptions.

  2 Letter TLDs are always country codes (and ccTLDs are always 2 Letters long). So moving them to another category is technically possible, but unprecedented and improbable.
