God just might be lazy.

But why would he do that, it’s often easier to start from scratch than fix something broken.

It’s not much different than starting a new game of SIMS and deleting your old characters.

That doesn’t really answer why “woman” can be used this way but “man” can’t:

• Female writer: ✅
• Woman writer: ✅
• Male nurse: ✅
• Man nurse: ❌

“Please generate an AI prompt for a polite rejection message for a candidate that wasn’t picked”

that would kill almost anything else

Guess what: It’s fact check time!!

Anthrax: ❌

Most birds are naturally resistant to anthrax because of their higher body temperature.

Botulism (actually botox, botulism is the illness caused by botox. You can’t quite eat an illness): ✅

“Botulism is one of the most toxic substances in the world, and [turkey vultures’] guts are filled with this bacteria, which apparently has no effect on them,” says Graves.

(Yes, the article made the same mistake)

Rabies: ❌

All warm-blooded species, including humans, may become infected with the rabies virus. Birds were first artificially infected with rabies in 1884; however, infected birds are largely, if not wholly, asymptomatic, and recover.

Cholera (actually avian cholera, which is distinct from “normal” cholera): ❓

Besides chickens, the disease also concerns turkeys, ducks, geese, raptors, and canaries.

So 2/4 diseases are already irrelevant for birds but they sound scary because they infect humans. But:

Avian cholera barely even counts because it’s caused by “Pasteurella multocida” while (human) cholera is caused by “Vibrio cholerae”. The two bacteria are genetically as closely related as humans and mammoths. And avian cholera does not kill anything but birds.

This isn’t to degrade the vulture’s ability to withstand pathogens and toxins, that is still very impressive. It’s just that obviously birds are immune to most human diseases, as pathogens don’t tend to easily jump between distant species.

And even if they DO jump between species, they usually do not bring their “deadliness” with them (unless they produce poison like botox) as different species react completely differently. Maybe rabies is the one exception, as adjusting the behavior of your host by rummaging around in the brain has some universally negative side effects.

Shouldn’t be dangerous, but there’s already less space in that area so it would constrict the walkway unnecessarily.

Like, looking it up, there seem to be variants wirh seats there but look how little space you have to move if two people are sitting there:

I don’t see the benefit of having an extra two seats in there compared to just putting in nothing

It is usually? Never been on a bus with a seat there.

I really don’t like the turquoise carpet on the left, remove that and I’d be happy.

No, they plunder antiquitarian book shops around the globe. There exist very few copies of those books around and they sure aren’t digitized anywhere.

It is surprisingly close. I download a lot of videos with yt-dlp and have seen ratios where up to 20% of total likes being from Return YouTube Dislike users.

Like here’s a video with 188,573 likes in total of which 28,330 were submitted to the data base:

https://returnyoutubedislikeapi.com/votes?videoId=dtjb2OhEQcU

The users disliked 130 times which was extrapolated to 356. No idea how that formula works, I believe users with this plugin could be more likely to dislike videos than users without that plugin which may be factored in.

Radar traps. They only snap a picture if someone is going above the speed limit, in a wrong lane (e.g. bus lane) or over a red light.

Any arguments against them are usually analogous to sugar companies opposing a sugar tax because it would lead to poor grammy being unable to afford to sweeten her morning coffee anymore.

Should’ve read the article more closely I guess, it says exactly that very clearly lol

Eh, it’s probably more effective to ban payment services from performing transactions. Doesn’t stop crypto currencies but it would still be 99% effective.

If you (or anyone else) wants to check their understanding of voltage as the difference between two electric potentials, here’s a couple exercises I stole from a text book:

(Note: Electric potential is also measured in Volt.)

A battery has a constant voltage of 1.5V between its plus and its minus pole. What is the electric potential of the minus pole compared to ground potential when:

1. The battery is on an electrically isolating mat?

2. The minus pole is connected to ground?

3. The plus pole is connected to ground?

4. The plus pole is connected to a generator producing an electric potential of 10,000V compared to ground?

Genuinely think you’re arguing about semantics with the love/attraction thing. Like, you can profess your love to someone despite no romantic relationship existing yet.

It’s honestly irrelevant what term OP uses to describe their feelings.

Though I do agree with the 2nd paragraph.

Gotta get down on Friday!

How so? You cannot be forced to accuse yourself. If your self-hosted data is on encrypted hard drives then they can’t do anything about it.

Except in the UK where you can be forced to provide decryption keys.

This has that weird AI thumbnail vibe I’m recently seeing everywhere.

Vinegar?

Proper pipe cleaning is done using a sodium hydroxide solution. Plus, it causes permanent blindness if it comes in contact with eyes:

Other common uses of sodium hydroxide include: […]

• as drain cleaners that convert pipe-clogging fats and grease into soap, which dissolves in water

Like other corrosive acids and alkalis, a few drops of sodium hydroxide solutions can readily decompose proteins and lipids in living tissues via amide hydrolysis and ester hydrolysis, which consequently cause chemical burns and may induce permanent blindness upon contact with eyes.

It’s genuinely dangerous, don’t handle this stuff if you don’t wear proper eye and skin protection.

Use decimal but with 10 different bend angles per finger.
