It doesn't say you go back in time to being six years old, you start over as a six year old. A six year old in 2024.

Hashtag monkeys paw.

You say uTorrent, I say µTorrent. We are not the same ;P

EDIT: I get µ from [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [m] (or [Alt Gr] + [m]), in case someone wants to be able to do it easily themselves. It might be different on your keyboard...

If anything does something to your dog you don't agree with you are fully entitled to remove that thing from being near your dog. Grab the other dog by the collar and drag it away (not yanking, controlled movements).

If the owner of the other dog gets angry at this then state that you wouldn't have had to do so if they had the skills to keep their dog having good behaviour. Some times people need a verbal slap in the face to even start thinking about if they should do better. They won't agree with you in the situation, but it may help effect some change in their behaviour over time.

There's always machine code, just writing numbers for the functions of the CPU. Or you have Esoteric programming languages like Brainfuck that doesn't use any words at all, it's just very simple instructions. There's Piet, which is a pixel colour based programming language.

To be frank; no programming languages are based on English, they are all based on logic. They are most often expressed in English, but there's really no reason one couldn't have a translation layer for every programming language. But that would make it a lot harder to find the solution if you have some fairly niche problem. Having everything in one language is simply more efficient since it doesn't fragment the questions and answers.

But a quick search gave me https://analyticsindiamag.com/.... The simple answer to your question thus is; No

I love that the calculators showing different answers are both from the same manufacturer XD

Just thought you'd enjoy learning that it's laissez faire. It's French, so obviously it's hard to spell.

You mean to say that 50 °F is (approximately) 283 Kelvin, right? ;P

Well, it's just a popularity contest anyway, not actually true to the categories.

Apparently just a kilogram of sugar mixed into a ton of concrete will destroy the ability of it to actually function correctly as concrete. But I learned this here on Lemmy and have not checked the veracity of it, so take it with a pinch (handful?) of salt.

Trust your instincts, but verify. Your instincts can be wrong quite often. There's a reason we need actual scientific methods (and statistics) to figure out some things; humans are really bad at analytic thinking by themselves.

I salute you. Not many that are willing to do so. Maybe because most people don't have very deep convictions on using FLOSS. It is easier to just do what everyone else does, after all.

To be fair, it makes sense to liken the use of ad blockers with piracy. Consuming the content without paying for it either way, either without directly paying yourself or without indirectly paying through watching ads. Doesn't change that ads on most parts of the internet are extremely invasive and far too much.

I feel fully entitled to protect myself from the ads because of the problems with them. But I don't feel the need to lie to myself about the fact that I'm consuming content without paying for it in some way. Then again I support some content creators that I feel deserve it. Not sure if that helps offset it somewhat or not, but I don't really care that much either.

For people wanting to know about the word catharsis: Catharsis: the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions. "music is a means of catharsis for them"

Also, you may want to look into your "bowl movement" XD

C-section babies can say they were considered important enough to be extracted. (with implications to covert operations)

Except it doesn't specify that you go back in time to when you were 6 years old, but that you "restart your life at 6 years of age" so a fairly reasonable interpretation would be that you'll be a 6 year old in 2024. Monkeys paw and all that.

Now, I personally think it's more interesting if it did mean that you went back in time.
