We do see it. Pretty much every coastal community is affected; some are more low lying so it’s more noticeable, some coastlines are simply higher and effects such as loss of land are not noticeable.

So will heat. Grill your pineapple.

If i'm not mistaken there is an island which has started to be drowned and lost like a quarter of its area

For the longest time there's been secret military tests there and people are nosy to see what's going on there.

Which is why pineapple makes an excellent marinade.

IP addresses are numbers, each 32 bits long.

A subnet of a given prefix length is a set of addresses for which the first prefix length bits are the same.

So 10.0.0.0/16 means all addresses where the first 16 bits are 00001010 (10) 00000000 (0).

If you wanted a set of addresses with the first 24 bits the same as 10.0.0.64, that would give you all addresses between 10.0.0.0 and 10.0.0.255 (inclusive), which we conventionally call 10.0.0.0/24.

But you already gave 64 of those addresses to someone, so you need to find 256 addreses all with the same first 24 bits and that is 10.0.1.0/24.

Sharing porn with a co-worker and “accidentally” sending it to the “All Employees” distribution list.

The follow-up question is: why don’t “we” see that yet? Is that global, as in are the oceans a perfect ball shape? (My guess is not) What places have already faced consequences?

IIRC, hemp was farmed enormously in the US around the early 1900s. Rayon, developed by Dupont, was becoming commercially successful and the Duponts (along with the Hearsts who owned much of the news and advertising outlets) launched campaigns agains hemp and in favor of Rayon. So the entire hemp plant, along with the tetrahydrocannabinol-containing cannabis, were illegalized.

As if you're 5??

Ok I'll try. All of us are always moving, even if we think we are standing still. You see, even if you stand as still as you can, time still passes for you. You're still moving through time.

Scientists have determined that this stuff we move around in, this...space, this reality it's actually part of the same stuff as time. We can call it spacetime.

Now, there is a max speed you can move through spacetime. We don't really know why, it's just a rule of the universe. If you stand as still as possible, you move through time as fast as you can. 1 second a second. If you start moving though, you increase your...spacespeed. You start subtracting from your timespeed.

Now the way the conversion ratio works, if you're moving as you normally do, you don't really slow down moving through time much. You have to move really really fast, like light speed fast, to have a significant effect on your timespeed. And as you get closer and closer to lightspeed, your timespeed gets closer and closer to zero, because you're taking that travelling speed away from time and putting it into spacespeed.

Not catholic either but it’s some papal decree. Some say it’s not fish per se but anything cold blooded. The ban was on carne ie warm blooded meat. So fish, veggies, fruit were fine. It’s just another weird religious idea.

This very quickly runs into a whole mess of politics, but the very short form is that, as it stands, Facebook can decide all by itself that you no longer get to speak on their platform -- they can ban you, they can restrict your ability to post, etc.

The considered motion would say "Facebook, you can't do that anymore, unless we say you can/order you to."

I wouldn't say "Reddit reads Sam" is semantically meaningless. It can mean the Reddit community forms an understanding of who Sam is, or just that they read words Sam wrote, depending on context.

I would say the rule has been broken if the speaker intended to communicate that Sam was the one reading but they said the words in the wrong order, perhaps because they didn't know English grammar well. It's a particularly bad mistake because it may lead to a misunderstanding.

Good thing it's not a top level comment than.

Thank you for your kind words :)

Incidentally, Einstein's theory of special and general relativity are also a different kind of geometry! Just like how Euclidean geometry takes place in Euclidean space, special relativity takes place on what's known as "Minkowski" space or spacetime, whereas general relativity takes place on what's known as a pseudo-Riemannian manifold.

These words sound complex but just remember that they are merely names for some kind of foreign geometry that are derived from a completely different set of axioms than the normal Euclidean geometry that we studied in high school. This article is very nice at introducing the history and context behind non-euclidean geometries!

But you don't even have to think about something as abstract as relativity to realize that non-euclidean geometries are everywhere. Even the surface of the earth has a non-euclidean geometry (the geometry that takes place on the surface of the earth is called "spherical geometry"). In this sort of geometry, you can have triangles which can have two right angles!

The reason I am introducing all these different types of geometries is because in the end, relativity theory is a geometric theory of spacetime. If you can understand the context behind some of the different kinds of geometries, then you can understand the context behind relativity theory as well! In this way, relativity won't seem as mysterious anymore. It's still very counter-intuitive, but at least you can understand that relativity is just a consequence of choosing some set of axioms, and drawing conclusions from there, just like any other sort of non-euclidean geometry.

Sorry for all these other links haha. This topic is extremely interesting to me and I wanted to share some resources to hopefully get you excited about it too! :)

Curious

I had a friend in high school who used the magician's run, a.k.a. ABBACADABBA

It would surprise me if that were accurate for the SAT even back then.

I'm not a healthy, fit control. Even in the more-fit of those two states I was still way overweight and not particularly fit.

CGEL says it's not quite that simple. The sentence does have the other person and we can't necessarily ignore that fact. "Keep Tom and I updated" is not necessarily incorrect.

No
