So, you now learned that human behaviour is often silly when observed without context

Because it is a word, or it’s easier to say, or funnier.
It’s definitely not the only case. NATO comes to mind, or GOAT, NIMBY. Yesterday I heard someone say (in a tv series episode) ‘fudney’ for FDNY
What it ‘actually’ is does not matter.
It’s ICE, as in: cold as
This is like one of our cats
Our other cat is much better at communication – she calls for attention, then guides us to the place where she wants us to do something (open a door, fill the food cups, or give scratches)
Very misleading graphic, suggesting that Haas (2014) is as old as Williams (1977), McLaren (1963), or even Ferrari (before 1950).
Good question. So, perform an experiment: put an ice cube without air bubbles in a glass containing a mixture of ice and cold water. The temperature should become 0°C (just before it freezes), measure it.
Your hypothesis: ice is heavier than water, so it will sink
Execute the test several times, preferably 10 times or more. More is better.
Please share your experiment results. Interesting data to know for each test would include:
please also share your conclusion.


Lies. Cats don’t ask questions, they assert their rightful place.
Stop doing whatever you do, adore me!


You don’t scare me.
AOL never was available in my country.
Check books? I’ve never even seen someone actually using one, I think.
I will never get to 20, yay!
I’m not sure if Roman Numerals are the best choice for statistics


People that use a keyboard spell out each word they type. They still need spellcheckers.


Why? Do you think signing is done by spelling out words?


I had no clue until I remembered this



Hokkaido is also a type of ice cream. Apparently available elsewhere, too. The rest of the text is chinese (at least, deepl recognizes it as such)


It was not that long ago when Android changed my on screen keyboard to a different layout whenever I was in a different country. Really annoying - I don’t suddenly type in Danish when I’m on a business trip to Lyngby (near Copenhagen)
webp is not fully supported by safari and webview on iOS; they cannot export images as image/webp using the toDataUrl or toBlob from a canvas element


Middle name is not a thing where I live. People can have 1 or more given names (I know of people that have 9), but none of these are considered ‘middle name’.


Do you really assume that language does not change if there is no AI involved in teaching? Try reading texts from a century – or even 50 years – ago.
I am not an AI fan but your argument is just fearmongering.


I’m no specialist, but (1) don’t most solar panels have a fixed inclination and orientation? Depending on the location that will not be as optimal at each day of the year because of the tilt of the earth. (2) The weather/cliimate will have an effect too. Your 2nd image is apparently showing kWh/kWp - so the longer term yield (h=hours) divided by the theoreticall maximum (p=peak). So it shows longer term efficiency , vs the yield at a certain moment like you appear to be focusing on.


You are wrong, till is perfectly fine – and so is til. See Merriam-Websters article about this, at https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/should-you-use-until-or-till-or-til
