- Comment on If I'm stuck in the same area as someone who is clearly sick (runny nose, coughing etc) is there some combo of short/long breaths or nose/mouth breathing that's a better defense against catching it? 5 weeks ago:
But if you inhale through the mouth as the alternative, you’ll directly track the viral load to the lungs which also had mucus and the viral load would multiply there instead. So take your pick. At least the nasal passage has some defences.

Stories is the best! Dr. Erika seems to be someone fun to hangout with but you also learn from her while doing that even without trying.
- Comment on Dallas Black Dance Theatre fired its entire company of dancers, after they unionized 3 months ago:
A company.
- Comment on PSA: Libraries 3 months ago:
Something tells me it’s you who doesn’t read enough. Checkout some words whose pronunciation is different from the spelling. You’d be surprised to know why that is. Or why some words have changed their spellings (from colour to color or metre to meter).
“Bigot” is not a good look on you.
- Comment on Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather? 3 months ago:
It wasn’t because it couldn’t. Hari tried it and failed. Applying Psychohistory to only large enough populations was his compromise. This is mentioned in Prelude to Foundation. I think Hari specifically mentions how complex predicting weather is iirc. That’s why I mentioned it in the first place.
- Comment on Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather? 3 months ago:
Butterfly effect. Even Hari Sheldon in the Foundation series couldn’t do that.
- Comment on Anon watches nature documentaries 3 months ago:
Annon or American documentary?
- Comment on Shocking 3 months ago:
Yes I understood that in the second reading. I deleted the comment but I guess it was not propagated in time everywhere. Also you can’t add up the men’s and women’s percentages because the number of participates could vary between the two groups.
- Comment on Shocking 3 months ago:
Why don’t the two stats add up to a 100%?
- Comment on Linguistics 3 months ago:
Tell me this, why don’t “but” and “put” sound similar?
What about “height” and “weight”, what’s the rule here? And what makes a letter silent in a word? If any of these rules have exceptions, then why are there exceptions?

generally have to see to their own needs before being able to do the administrative work on men’s behalf.
Same logic applies to men as well. And I don’t like your perspective of said groups always being enemies of each other. If this perspective was uniformly adopted, queers will never have their rights because they are a minority. While the majority groups only fighting for theirs. IMHO we need to look at all these as human rights and human values. Not gay rights, trans rights, women’s rights or men’s rights. Otherwise we don’t get anywhere.

Are you on Jerboa by any chance?

PS: Is there an equivalent in Lemmy for this yet?
- Comment on Am I supposed to ask stupid questions here, or *not* ask stupid questions? 6 months ago:
It means that no question will be considered stupid and your intelligence/experise will not be judged. So feel free to as any question as long as you’re sincere and serious.
- Comment on What is the General Consensus of Web3? 6 months ago:
Shout out to Utopia!
- Comment on What is the General Consensus of Web3? 6 months ago:
Web is by definition decentralised. I can run a website on my home PC and it’s part of the internet. Web3 is running Blockchain. They are two independent concepts imho. When it comes to Web3, my opinion of it is “meh”. It’s a buzzword more than anything.

What’s your job if you don’t mind me asking?
- Comment on Pros and cons of getting a job at a very small software company? (14 employees) 7 months ago:
Disagree about the salary part. From my experience smaller companies tend to pay a bit better because they don’t have the reputation and the presence of the industry that a big company does.
- Comment on Sorry lemmy but I have to ask? 7 months ago:
Thumbs down for the clickbait title.

Only Safari on iOS is about to change with EU laws. Not sure how it will affect outside the EU though.
- Comment on If hot air rises, why is it colder at the top of a mountain? 7 months ago:
I mean the following are 2 different and unrelated questions. And the OP asked the answer for the 1st.
- Why is it colder as you up in altitude?
- Why is it colder in polar regions?
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
To me the both is from the same website as you got for “why is my husband yelling at me”. woah, does this mean my country is truly gender equal?

Can’t you obtain kids’ shows “elsewhere”?

Where do you live? The Giant Contend 3 starts at 1000 USD. Their hybrid bikes are even cheaper.
