I see, the common “Americans will use anything but SI”, but in this case it’s also the Brits lol

Thanks for explanation

It assists with refining your writing by rephrasing your sentences, modifying your tone, and tweaking the length of your text based on your preferences.

I don’t remember when was the last time I wrote a full sentence in Notepad yet alone needed an Ai redaction. Because it’s a fucking notepad! It’s for writing notes not essays!

Do I understand it incorrectly or does it allow them to webstream my home address???

In my country for administrative cases with short deadlines courts have fast tracks. So in such a case the court probably wouldn’t issue any final judgement but could order everyone involved to stop further committing potentially illegal actions.

About the composting - if you live in a region which has a professional compositing facility, properly sort your rubbish and don’t compost on your own.

Composting emits a lot of greenhouse gases and professional facilities capture them and use them in less harmful ways. So if we were all in-house composting our bio-garbage it would be more harmful for the environment than using communal services.

It’s a little bit different for gardening products - those first capture greenhouse gases and would rot on ground anyway so composting kinda balances out. But still, for example if you’re cutting your grass just leave it on the ground and rake it. This way it’s not gonna rot and will fertilize your lawn.

Sooo actually why land mammals can’t filter out salt from seawater?

3 seconds is the minimum safe distance, regardless of speed

365.25 days I believe is the better approximation because it’s the rough time it takes Earth to be in the same spot - hence the leap years

Gas valves famously use the opposite direction

This is, reportedly, a comment under, reportedly, a post

Wireless communications radiation physically cannot cause increased mutation rates and this is quite well studied. Wireless communication operates on frequencies (for the most part) below 10GHz, which has wavelengths measured in centimeters and meters. The biggest wave that can impact human DNA is UV which has wavelengths measured in nanometers - orders of magnitude of difference. So no, wireless communications are super unlikely to impact cancer rates.

Headlights definitely need more regulation but this issue is very amplified in SUVs which are much underregulated. They have mismatched bumper heights to other cars causing more damage, they drag pedestrians underneath causing more injuries. I personally see no point for modern SUVs existing at all, but let’s at least make sure they are safe on roads.

As I understand this “question by proxy” can be even more effective because people are less likely to lie about Musk than about their political views

That’s kind of a paradox - we can’t stop reporting actions of assholes like him because they do things borderline dangerous to society, but that exact reporting gives them the popularity to do all that

Doesn’t frequent cleaning of sinuses cause irritation? I believe healthy sinuses should be mostly self cleaning. Of course if you have some long-term condition then it’s different

That reminds of the 2020 presidential election in Poland when both candidates did exactly what you describe - they debated at the same time but in separate studios. And the story how it came to that is wild.

This was after the first round of the elections (where two candidates are selected for the second round), which involved things like last-minute rescheduling of the elections, last-minute candidate swap and effectively throwing away 20 million dollars of public money. Currently there are several criminal investigations conducted against people involved in organisation of that first round. And of course it was all in the middle of the pandemic. So the political chaos was at its absolute peak.

The two candidates were the country’s president representing then ruling party and capital city’s mayor representing then biggest opposition party. Both of course wanted the debate. The issue was that then ruling party turned the public broadcaster into a party propaganda machine compared by experts to that created by Goebbels. And the core of that propaganda was that the second biggest (private) broadcaster in Poland (owned by Discovery Group) is anti-Polish and cannot be trusted.

Both broadcasters offered they can organise the debate. The private one I believe was also willing to jointly host it. But the ruling party candidate couldn’t agree to a debate hosted by the private broadcaster because that would significantly impact the propaganda and expose his many wrongdoings to the manipulated ruling party voters.

On the other hand, the opposition candidate couldn’t agree for the debate hosted only by the public broadcaster because that would effectively be 2 hours of him trying to deny lies spread by hosts and the other candidate.

The 2nd round was coming close and no compromise has been found. So on the same day the two broadcasters prepared their studios for two candidates with audience. Ruling party candidate went to public broadcaster, opposition candidate to private one. Both declared the other as a “no-show” and proceeded to have a “debate” with hosts and audience.

Few days later the opposition candidate lost by a small margin.
