To explain it in American terms:

Pennsylvania has just voted in an election for US Congress on the federal level, and voted in the Republicans with huge gains. The Democratic Pennsylvania Governor then calls for an election for the state legislature of Pennsylvania (this can’t be done in the US, but let’s pretend it can) so that the people can elect a new state legislature that more closely aligns with their current position.

Dutch and Danish are not the same language. So yeah, the Danish scientist published in Danish, not Dutch.

I had windows do a large update in the middle of an exam once. Like the major version number changes or something, took probably like an hour and a half. I was quite lucky with the exact timing and the fact that I am usually able to finish exams quickly as I did end up having half an hour for the exam, but it did make the whole situation a bit more spicy than necessary.

Well, he’s not paying until the appeals process is over, which presumably will go way into the next presidential term.

Just because you’re a felon doesn’t mean you’re not a citizen and part of the country. As such, you should be able to partake in democracy in all possible ways as well.

I really dislike this punitive mindset of completely ruining someone’s life for being convicted of a crime. People make mistakes, but we don’t want to exclude them from society, we want to reform them and bring them back in. So yeah, I think, even excluding all this political bs, that no person should have their right to vote or run taken from them.

Surely, hopefully, he is either dead or in prison in 2028, anything else would be a disgrace.

10/0 ≠ lim x->0+ 10/x

Or in other words, the thing you keep quoting does not apply in this case. Any number divided by zero is undefined, not positive infinity (or negative infinity for that matter).

Doesn’t the Obergefell decision confirm that discrimination based on sexual orientation by definition is discrimination based on sex, and therefore illegal under the civil rights act? So why should this be allowed?

Yessss, channel your inner Shrek.

Those are jokes.

A very succinct summary. Good bot!

Ohh, that reminds me of when I moved to Sweden. Their digital ID, bankID, is as the name suggests issued by your bank, not the government, even though it is used for all official authentication. And that includes… you guessed it, creating a bank account. So that was a real chicken and egg situation where it seemed impossible to be properly integrated into the Swedish system.

When putting in ambiguous inputs to WolframAlpha, it does its best to interpret it so that it’s can give an answer, and it shows you underneath how it interpreted it. That doesn’t mean there wasn’t any ambiguity to begin with.

Both of those screenshots, the input is a fraction, thereby removing the ambiguity. But when you use the division symbol, an ambiguity arises. This is why you should never, for any reason, use a division symbol.

Well, after Tetris.

I think that’s the same in all European countries, at least it is in Denmark. I guess the old adage is true, the truth has a left wing bias.

Actually, it’s a direct translation of I_irl. It should really have been mich_iel or mir_iel.

Just fyi, chest compressions cannot restart a heart, they can keep blood flowing until an AKG can get it into a normal heartbeat. If the heart is completely stopped, neither compressions or an AKG can do anything.

It’s absolutely not helpless to change your habits. All our consumption is based on collective habits, and changing them will have an effect.

I mean, one alternative that you are carrying around at all times is your mouth. It’s very rare that a straw is needed at all.
