  Another one is air quality.

  If you are breathing in too many undesirable aerosols when you sleep, you are not getting better, but worse.

  If you didn’t have to mine them out of something and just picked them off the ground, they are pickerals (= rocks).

  Just with someone who remembers how easy it was to be mislead by adults, as a child.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Least extreme biophysics phd⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I am trying sooo hard to come up with a point without bringing up the chemical-transification of children, without their parent’s approval, which has been following them being mislead by pro-trans (as in “go become trans because all your problems are your gender”) evangelists.

  Well, it might just have been an out of syllabus thing considering I was not taught that in class and only learnt it while having fun somewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Least extreme biophysics phd⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Mother for whatever reason decides she doesn’t want to have the embryo implanted.

  Who knows, maybe they can’t afford kids. Or her and the father are about to break up. Or she has found out she’s at risk of complications.

  I think I am just suffering lack of information.
  I assumed the contract is to be an after birth thing and not something that makes sure that the mother has to bear the child.
  Besides, if the implantation is not done, hasn’t He not actually done the procedure and can choose another (although hard to do so in time)?
  Does the embryo have some kind of compatibility with the mother, for implantation to be successful?

  In case He has the option to find another chap for the process in the above cases, I won’t consider the contract extending to this time.

  So, you didn’t realise that during the unit test?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Least extreme biophysics phd⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Babies are conceived without their consent.

  In case of a C-section, they are born without their consent (implying that they would rather grow up inside the womb :P (look, idk what babies think when they don’t come out, but we sure aren’t asking them whether they’d rather stay in there))

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Least extreme biophysics phd⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  He also had a bizarre contract he made the parents sign that if they changed their minds they had to reimburse him the financial costs of the experiment

  Here’s a scenario.

  • Parent gets modded baby
  • Parent is approached by a corporation to take over the baby for their exp instead
    • Corporation is willing to pay parent for it
  • Parent later goes and says no to Dr. He
  • Parent takes baby to the corporation instead, which now gets to step ahead of Dr. He
  • Dr. He gets no resultant data but is stuck with the costs of doing whatever he did.

  You need a desk to place the components on to build the computer and then to place the computer on, to do the programming.

  I’d say, even with Jobs, Wozniak had a desk job.

  Of course, unless you use a projector or floor-stands for the monitors and keep the keyboard+mouse on your lap, in which case, you can get away from the desk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨are "brush" and "blush" really pronounced differently? i pronounce them the same.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice to know.

  My language has both kinds of R. One that makes the tongue go all the way back and another one that’s closer to the ‘L’ point but the tongue is kept looser and not touched fully, making the ‘R’ sound.
  I tend to use the latter, mainly because it’s more effort to go all the way back. No. Mainly, it is because everyone else around me speaks that way. But now that I know, I’ll still keep speaking that way, due to the other reason.

  This is the closest.
  Remember, human brains also have OCRs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Excel Parking: Five-minute rule firm must pay driver's expenses - BBC News⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  More companies trying to scheme against paying customers.
  If this were the US, I would expect the guy to have to pay more instead and then the company would go around making it harder to find a parking spot, to increase these cases.

  Hopefully, they find a way to get the 5 minute rule removed.

  You can use your toes for switches.

  Not when there are no switches and you have to pull out the plug everytime you want to switch off the appliance.
