I’m not entirely convinced the premise is sound. Who is saying this? I imagine if you eat the same amount of each you’d likely feel a similar level of satiety.

Laws in each jurisdiction differ, but in some jurisdiction certain crimes carry specific sentences. These sentences usually have a minimum and maximum time they can be set to, and someone convicted with multiple charges has to be sentenced for each and every one of them. Also depending on the jurisdiction the judge may have the ability to add more years on top of that on a case by case basis. This is important because cases can be appealed even after sentencing or even reversed if new evidence comes to light. Thus if someone was charged with multiple crimes, but only charged with the one with the highest penalty, if they could successfully appeal against it they'd walk free, whereas when they have multiple sentences for multiple crimes they have to fight each individually, meaning they're much more likely to serve time, even if they can successfully fight one of the charges (which doesn't necessarily mean they were innocent, just that they could argue there wasn't enough evidence against them)

Then we have life imprisonment, which as a sentence can mean different things in different jurisdictions. In some countries it's more or less what it says, imprisonment for the rest of one's natural life unless pardoned or paroled. In other countries however life imprisonment may actually just mean a fixed sentence (of anything from 15 to 45 years) after which they may still be let free. In some jurisdictions sentences on multiple charges can stack even to an unnatural length (being sentenced to 150 years for example), while in others regardless of the charges against someone there may be a maximum year limit to which someone can be sentenced, even if the sentences for each individual crime committed add up to more than that.

So in the case where someone has committed a heinous crime, but the life sentence seems small compared to the act, more years may be added. Basically the important thing to realise here is that 1) Laws may vary a lot from one jurisdiction to another but 2) Legal terms always have a legal definition in their jurisdiction. These terms may often be very confusing since their meaning in common language may mean or imply something different than what they legally are. This is the reason why it's almost always a bad idea to defend yourself in court. The job of a lawyer is more or less knowing these terms and how the system works and help you, because without studying a legal system it's impossible to understand.

Google is your friend. In this case, the word “salience” is a scientific term.

“In summary 'salience' refers to the ability of stimuli to gain preferential attentional processing and is often referred to in terms of dopamine release and motivational drive.”

I know what time zones are😡. My question is: how is George S saying 8 am when it’s 9 am where he is? Does he record 4 intros one for each US time zone?

Something that is salient is immediately apparent or “jumps out” at you. In this context, I would guess that it’s speaking to the predominance of an activity in someone’s life, i.e., an activity becomes highly salient once it is highly predominant.

Because that is what they installed when the plane was built. Newer built planes use single 3.5mm jacks.

12 o'clock Noon is when the sun is directly North/South/overhead, but not East or West any. But because it would be impossible to keep appointments if everywhere kept its own local time, we break geography into big chunks called "time zones." Everywhere in that zone agrees to use the same time, which is about correct for the middle of the zone, and is exactly one hour offset from the zones on either side.

Because the sun is over the east before it's over the west, the eastern zones experience things like sunrise, local noon, and sunset before zones to the west. So, if local noon is 12o'clock, then by the time it's 12 in the central zone, it's already 1 on the east where local noon happened an hour ago.

Here in the UK a life sentence means that you're still under some restrictions even after you're released from prison, so you could spend 20 years inside and then the rest of your life outside but "on licence", which means you have to abide by certain conditions otherwise you go back to prison.

Some people in the UK have been sentenced to a "whole life" sentence but it's quite rare.

A "cancel purchase" button that is just 8pt text in the top corner of the screen is less Salient than a button with the same function that is the same size and style as the "confirm" button - i.e. in a readable size in a prominent place on the screen with an actual background to make it clear that it's a button.

Stuff that isn't salient doesn't stand out to the user. That makes them more likely to miss the option and decide to take a different one they otherwise might not have taken.

In this context, I would assume: overestimating the chance of rare events. So without reason, thinking that the chance of high payouts is common instead of very uncommon.

Edit: So people focus on what stands out--the large prize--or in other words what is salient.

Ok, hear me out:

“Salience is the noun form of the condition of being salient. It may also be used to call something a highlight, or a definitive attribute.

Saliency is a synonym for salience and there is no difference between the two. Salience is more popular, being used slightly more than three times for each saliency. The exception is in the business world, where saliency is used as a term for brand awareness; in other words, the degree to which the brand sets itself apart from competition.”

In order for most people in the world to experience daylight at the same hours on a clock, time zones were invented because the Earth is in different positions relative to the sun at the same actual time (when it's night in New York, it's daytime in Hong Kong, for example). Because people have a hard time accepting that 3pm can be in the middle of the night, we developed time zones. Each time zone is roughly 1/24 of the Earth's circumference wide (at the relevant latitude). So, when you compare noon in New York to noon in Western Indiana, you are both talking the time when the sun is highest in the sky, rather than one of you seeing it slightly lower.

The earth spins as it's rotating around the sun. That means if we drew a line from the sun through the center of the earth, that line would hit a different part of the planet every moment that passes.

It just so happens we've divided the day into 24 "hours", and the sun hits the same place twice if you wait that long. (Technically it's a tiny bit different from 24 hours but that's something that only matters once we get into higher-end calculations.)

So the "time zones" are made by borders that are ROUGHLY where that "direct" line from the sun hits an hour apart. I say "ROUGHLY" because these are also political boundaries so they're set by people who vote or own land etc.

This was done for our own timekeeping convenience, so that we could understand questions like, "When is it morning on the west coast?" easier. Imagine if we made everything use East Coast time. That would mean we'd have to remember that "morning" in California will be somewhere around "noon" in this time.

Is it really easier to remember, "California is 4 hours later than NY so at 8AM in NYC it is 4AM in California"? Well, that's subjective. But this is how we did it, and it'd be at least as complicated to do it the other way.

The main place where this makes the most sense is day boundaries. We understand when the time changes from 11:59 PM to 12:00 AM the date has changed. But if we didn't have time zones, some people's day would start at 1AM. Some would start at 2 AM. Everyone's day would roll over at a different time of day. They'd have to show up to work at a different hour, etc.

From that perspective, even if you travel to a far-away place, it's easier to remember, "I need to be at the office when all the clocks around me say 8AM" than it is to figure out, 'OK, here the workday starts at 7PM so that's when I need to be at the office.'

So, put short: it ties our time to roughly when we expect the sun to rise and set. If we didn't have time zones, in some places the sun would rise at midnight, and the name "midnight" wouldn't make a lot of sense if associated with 12 AM.

Edit

To answer your question: yes, they record multiple intros. Most of these shows are mixtures of live TV and pre-recorded cuts, and often they cut to other actors. So they might do the startup of the show with a pre-recorded introduction, then the title jingle, then move to live footage. Or, in the Eastern time zone, they might be running a commercial break while the host does a live introduction for the Western time zone. Then when that introduction is finished, the Western time zone gets commercials or another segment, and eventually everything syncs back up to live footage again. Sometimes "live" shows like this aren't actually "live" in all time zones because of these logistics.

Maybe you could post the whole sentence then? Hard to give a good translation without context

I forgot to mention: this is the context for the word (which seems like a definition, but I don't understand it).

"salience (i.e., when the activity becomes the sole focus of the individual's life, leading to cravings to engage in the activity and potentially distorted behaviours and thoughts)"

Fair enough, thanks for pointing that out! The main question was about sugar though so that's why I stuck to that. I think most people are familiar with caffeine being a stimulant ;)

Thank you for your effort, but I still don't see how I can fit this in my text.

In Welsh, Germany is Yr Almaen, which is from the Alemanni, an ancient Germanic tribal confederation.

The comment you were replying to said "sugar or caffine"

Cool to know about the sugar high though. I think that's a common misconception.

I’ve searched synonyms in google, I hope it helps:

“Some common synonyms of salient are conspicuous, noticeable, outstanding, prominent, remarkable, and striking.”

New York City is in the eastern time zone, which is 1 hour ahead of Central time zone.

As such 8am in Chicago (central time) is the same time as 9am in New York City (eastern time)

Yep, they can happen for any reason or no reason. They can be made a whole lot more likely (or almost unavoidable) by sexual thoughts or actions, but the thing has a mind of its own.

I mean, do your nipples randomly get hard throughout the day? Same kind of deal. You can generally make it happen, but sometimes it just does anyway, often when you least want it to.

Sort of like inward singing.
