Turbulence seems to be to be deterministic chaos, that if we had perfect resolution, and unlimited processing power, we could predict turbulent flow with precision.

Nah buddy, we all went to school, and it’s abundantly clear that in modern English, and animal is part of the Kingdom Animalia.
So, the only people (in the English speaking world) who don’t think of insects or fish an animals, either are of a much, much older generation, or didn’t do very well in school.
Most fucking 6-year-olds, in Australia at least, would be able to answer yes to “is a fish an animal?”.

This is an argument that gets rolled out a lot but the argument is also based on vibes.
Celcius having zero at freeing is actually useful with weather.
100 being boiling, is also nice for cooking.
The rest is arbitrary, and cope from US customary users who can’t accept that metric is the same or better in every single way.

Found the Americans.
I kid, but it’s °C, not C°
And K had no degrees at all.
The other two units are not mentioned in this household.

My reasons for confusion 头水：my Pinyin keyboard doesn’t even want to write this. Is this supposed to be 口水？
小豆脑：is this some metaphor?
‘My saliva is gone. I want that those electrolytes give me tofu brain [very soft tofu for other people reading], very constipated’
I’m a very confused Chinese learner.
Edit before responding: I think I understand the metaphor now lol

* Often literally waving at you to go. Through the intersection. At the wrong time.
I feel your pain so deeply on this point. This part is universal, people trying to be “nice” don’t understand that rules exist to make things run smoothly.
My poor soul requires rules be followed, and changed when they no longer make sense.
My deepest condolences that you have a road design that compounds this further.
I bet 4-way stops are a joy for pedestrians also haha
- Comment on a minor to moderate amount of tomfoolery in construction 2 weeks ago:
4-way stops are an American abomination. One street really ought to have right of way, otherwise it would be a small roundabout.
I can happily say I have never been exposed to a 4-way stop in Australia.

The number of upvotes on this is concerning. It means there are a super majority of people who voted on this comment that don’t know how to talk to others, and feel alone.
Mate, similar to how others have commented, you’re in a self-fulfilling cycle. You have to learn to just be relaxed first, talk with people for the sake of it, making friends, having fun.
Randomly approaching a woman, isn’t a great way to strike up a conversation that leads to something more (outside certain more familiar contexts like a party).
If your intentions are only “I’m gonna hit on this woman”, then you’re always gonna be creepy.
Woman are just people. Get to know people in general and you’ll have a much better time.
There are dozens of times a day where you can talk to people: in line, at work with colleagues, on public transport (if someone happens to mention something you know about and it’s not a private feeling conversation), hospitality staff, etc.
These are not suggestions of how to find a partner, but of low-hanging opportunities for conversation.
You may still be unattractive, which depending on why, you may or may not be able to work on, but this STILL doesn’t stop you from making friends or generally enjoying being around others.
The way you’ve commented is learned helplessness, and I truly wish you the best, and hope you take steps to pull yourself out of it, with the support of those around you (and professional help, if it’s something available to you).
All the best friend.

RIP cities that don’t have this.

No one’s freaking out, just don’t eat too much. Many, many packaged things have a bunch of salt in them. And in general, it’s good to be aware of.
Salt requirements obviously vary from person to person and depend on your activity that day (losing it to sweat) etc.
You’re not gonna die from a bit too much salt every now and then.
But as all things: In moderation.
Just because the situation with fat was stupid (and, in my opinion, was because of marketing by vested interests to take the heat of sugar) doesn’t mean all health science is quackery.
“Too much salt is bad for you” isn’t a radical take.
- Comment on Cooking 😋 1 month ago:
I might make a big dish of lasagne, maybe the meat has 3 or 4 teaspoons of salt,
Seems fine to me. That’s about 4 daily doses of salt, depending how many servings that is, probably totally fine. This isn’t medical advice haha
In any case, at least you’re having something delicious 😁
- Comment on Cooking 😋 1 month ago:
Of course, unless you’re being terribly precise, you don’t know very accurately.
Though, with the exception of pasta water, you can keep track via number of teaspoons as an approximation, or if you have precise scales tare off your container to see how much you’re using.
Packaged foods are much easier.
I personally just try to keep it minimal while keeping the food taste nice. I don’t measure my salt.
I’m not saying change your habits, just be aware that excessive salt can he unhealthy!
- Comment on Cooking 😋 1 month ago:
This is probably a joke, but do try to limit your salt intake to something healthy: www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/…/salt
