I'm not saying you did and I do think the OP is written with LLM help, but these sentences did make my AI sense tingle: "I just want it to be clear that some of us can pick up Claudisms within just a couple of sentences with no ef

Painting in such broad strokes, the German system also sounds like the ACA, but it's really not: the high level description really erases key differences. In Germany there is nothing like bronze/silver/gold plans. All statuto

"I've opposed Wikipedia for twenty years. Now I'm banned for life." would also be a correct headline, and maybe a more honest one.

Well done! I had a somewhat similar experience twenty years ago in the informatics olympiads. I had no idea about the whole world of algorithms, complexity, etc. until a friend recommended to do the first round of our national informatics o

Btw a visa is a document allowing entry into a country, while VISA is a word mark used by Visa, inc. for their payment cards and network. I think you're referring to the travel document, but since the context also includes payment netw

The point GP is making, is that everyday mathematics is not done in Lean, but in a language that's more like JavaScript, where equals doesn't always mean equals, + and • mean whatever seems convenient at the time, and objects so

Emojis, however, are a Japanese invention (related but different from emoticons). BTW, even the word emoji (from Japanese e = picture, moji = character) is unrelated to the word emoticon .

It seems TM SGNL also works when you're messaging with somebody using the genuine Signal app. They aren't gonna make a group chat with your archive bot to message you, and they might not be pleased when you add them to such a grou

NetHack does have ghost files (where you find the levels previous characters died on, including their ghost and their possibly-cursed loot). It's definitely not the same kind of progression as in modern rogue-lites, but it can be a boo

Mercaptan is a group of compounds, more than one of which are used as gas odorants, so in some places, gas smells of rotten eggs, similar to H2S, while in others gas doesn't smell like that at all, but a quite distinct smell that'

If the reason someone wanted to learn Arabic was because they thought they could learn one language to do all of those things, it's clear why they might just drop the idea when they learn they can't.

Excellent comment! As a historical tidbit I'll add that Romans did develop two ways to write larger numbers. 1. Writing a line (vinculum) over a numeral to multiply its value by 1,000. This was in fact extended to writing a line to the

The berries (but not the seeds!) are apparently edible, and I have myself eaten one without noticing any ill effect. IIRC it was indeed the berries that were used in the Agatha Christie novel, so apparently a mistake.

Moreover, in a later picture on the page you can see an example showing a -dóttir name in that field (I had wondered if perhaps it was only used for people who happened to have a "real" surname as opposed to a patronymic, e.g. for

Just a technical nitpick: Hitler was appointed by President Hindenburg, not directly elected. However Hindenburg was directly elected and Hitler was leader of the party that received the most votes (though still a minority).

Don't know about Britain but the US also allows passport renewals by mail, so they can't check the photo against your face but they presumably can check it against your previous passport photo.

It's G as in "forge" and J as in "yo". In Esperanto Ĝ represents that soft G sound and the word is spelled "forĝejo", which breaks into "forĝi" (to forge) plus "ejo" (a place), i.e. a p

It wouldn't suprise me if celery was relatively rich in glutamate given its use in stocks and mirepoix, but I think that celery powder is mostly used for its nitrate and nitrite content as a meat curing agent.
