  Come on, this is just a joke adults will understand while children will not. If you think double entendres are censorship, I don’t know what to tell you.

  Because the plague specifically did not reach Europe before 1347 as far as we know. Now of course there could be plague in Europe before this, and we modern people don’t know about it because of poor recordkeeping or something. But it would be a bit surprising. Therefore: weird.

  Probably, although there would still need to be some evolutionary pressure for forward facing eyes… I wonder what it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way out?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know if first authorship needs to go away. I’ve definitely been 2nd or 3rd author for a few days of work (as compared to months of work for the first author).

  You can give detailed attribution (many papers require them nowadays), but no-one ever reads them.

  A candidate for genuine Dutch hot dog-like food are maybe broodjes rookworst:

  rookworst

  Or maybe even worstenbroodjes, now that I think of it…

  Unfortunately there are many counterexamples, large animals that live long in the wild tend to have shorter lives in zoos, like elephants, hippos, and monkeys.

  Definitely not new. However, in many practical applications you can sorta kinda ignore it (but definitely not all!).

  Just testing how deep Cunninghams law will go haha

  Nono, these are d orbitals. Although p orbitals are equally silly.

  Anyone have an recent example of FDC Willard being thanked in a paper? I couldn’t find any, sadly

  Christian Horner?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stephen Fry wants King's Guard to ditch bear fur⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh it is completely irrelevant for Fry’s point. Just thought it was interesting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stephen Fry wants King's Guard to ditch bear fur⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe surprising, but yes. The pope is an example. Historically it was not super uncommon, nowadays Malaysia and Cambodia for instance still have an elective monarchy.

  If you watched the video, you would know you don’t actually own the battery but lease it from the manufaturer.
