Is that what they did? It’s a legitimate question, I’m not finding info online.
- Comment on Help prevent teenage agricultural addiction 4 days ago:
You’re right that the comic wasn’t targetting specific modifications, just ‘GMO’ as if it was bad in itself.
- Comment on Help prevent teenage agricultural addiction 4 days ago:
Well… depends on the GMO. Copyrighted Monsanto “terminator” seeds that sprout sterile crop is a big no-no in my book.

Dang, in which country are you talking about Liège in elementary school?

Ooh, whoosh on me. Thanks!
- Comment on Every Time I Post 1 month ago:
I do it all the time :'( But if it’s an important subject or if someone asks for a serious answer, I’m always frank
- Comment on X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research 3 months ago:
Well, if they tell the truth then it’s fine. But no way to know what they do with this redirect (to my knowledge at least).
- Comment on X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research 3 months ago:
And they reported that it was to gather the referral when going to websites, which constitutes their income. But it’s closed source so we don’t know. It could be tracking and selling the data.

Sorry, it is go.bsky*app. I corrected my comment!
- Comment on X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research 3 months ago:
I’d say that we’re sure it will. It has begun making the same shady practices like redirecting all out going links through go.bsky*com 🙄

Is that the rule? I always thought it was half the higher age plus seven to get the minimum.
So 18 -> 22, 31-> 48

I think it’s AI upscaling

In which context would you use Hilfeleistungslöschgruppenfahrzeug instead of Feuerwehrfahrzeug?

French speaker here, that’s indeed how I understand it.
- Comment on Anon is an engineer 7 months ago:
Fully agree. I’ve seen a lot of people going into engineering for prestige or “by default” because they weren’t bad at math. It always made me a little sad because I found a lot of the courses truly fascinating and eye-opening and I wanted to nerd out with my teammates!
- Comment on Anon is an engineer 7 months ago:
Yeah I can understand that sitting on a desk all day, reading and taking exams is a pretty harrowing experience for most.
It looks like it’s my personal tastes that allowed me to enjoy school. And I really did enjoy it! Hopefully other people find something to do that they love.
- Comment on Anon is an engineer 7 months ago:
I wonder why they hated school. Maybe the problem was the school and not the topic? Otherwise I feel sad for them disliking the topic they chose as a career path :(
I feel like there’s so much interesting stuff out there, there must be something useful that they find at least interesting.

I wonder who’s the artist behind the symbol
- Comment on Anon thinks the French are posers 8 months ago:
As a Belgian, this is my position as well. Fries is part of the Belgian culinary culture, but it’s chauvinism to claim they were invented in Belgium.
- Comment on Calling in healthy 10 months ago:
That’s pretty nice, it’s basically additional leave days! I still prefer European style with unlimited sick leave, but you need a certificate from your physician.

Does anyone know the artist?

Thanks, the nm were useful
- Comment on If only it was like that 1 year ago:
I checked for others who, like me, are too European to understand the joke: 50°F is 10°C.
- Comment on Ooooo lights 1 year ago:
It’s actually a very reasonable behavior if cars were normal predators: wait for the last moment before jumping out of the way so that the predator has to do a 180° and you’ve already left.

I think that was a Calvin and Hobbes joke, wasn’t it?

Here’s the secret: you pick it with a handkerchief on your finger.

Thanks! I added “some nebulae” to remove any misunderstanding
