Finde auch großartig, wie noch geschlussfolgert wird:

An den Kosten von Elternschaften liege der Rückgang der Geburtenrate indes es nicht.

Wenn's weniger kosten würde, und nicht oftmals die Karriere-Chancen torpedieren würde, dann würden vielleicht mehr Kinder wollen und man wäre nicht auf ungewollte Schwangerschaften angewiesen.

Naja, da steht halt, dass mehr Zugang zu Informationen über Verhütung mit ein Grund für den Rückgang ist.
Wenn die Teenager schwanger werden wöllten, dann wäre Verhütungsinformation kein Hindernis. Man kann das Kondom o.Ä. einfach weglassen.

Ähnlich bei "weniger Geschlechtsverkehr". Wenn sich zwei gefunden haben, die Kinder wollen, dann kriegen die das hin, ausreichend Geschlechtsverkehr zu haben, egal was in der Statistik steht und auch ohne dass das bisschen Kinder-mach-Sex großartig die Statistik beeinflusst.
Also im Grunde ist es auch da so, dass wenn die Gesamtmenge an Sex zurückgeht, dass hauptsächlich die Zahl ungewollter Schwangerschaften zurückgeht, weil es einfach weniger oft mit der Verhütung klappen muss.

Wäre schon gut, wenn sie das mal etwas offensichtlicher machen müssen, auch wenn in dem Fall die Änderung wahrscheinlich einfach nur so aussieht:

Jetzt Kaufen Bezahlen

Da wäre mal eine Umfrage gut. Kann mir sehr gut vorstellen, dass einem Großteil der Kundschaft nicht so wirklich bewusst ist, was sie da einkaufen.

Yeah, the naming seems to be all over the place.

From what I found online, what you ate would be referred to as "chicory greens", if we're being specific.

And the white ones, Wikipedia primarily calls "Belgian endive", but then also:

Belgian endive is known in Dutch as witloof or witlof ("white leaf"), indivia in Italy, endivias in Spain, chicory in the UK, as witlof in Australia, endive in France and Canada, and chicon in parts of northern France, in Wallonia and (in French) in Luxembourg.

Interesting, I only know chicory as these bad boys:

The atoms are there for sure, but we could argue, whether it is a thing/object without an animal being aware of it, since it's us that define things to be objects.

The universe doesn't care whether a pile of atoms behind Pluto happens to be chair-shaped. It's only when we look at it, that we declare it an object.

I mean, yeah, how would you close your legs with the penis now stuck in there?

Gonna throw in EtherPad. It's been like ten years, since I properly used it, but I believe, it's relatively minimal, so pretty much just Markdown.

There's also lots of publicly hosted instances you can use: https://scanner.etherpad.org/

It hurts my brain that you somehow end up with a heptagon. The triangles, the rectangle in the center, it all feels like you should get a hexagon...

Yeah, I feel like Christians make a big deal out of life vs. death. Life is declared this super great thing that was gifted to them by their god. And death is described like an eternal departure into the unknown.

Meanwhile, if you view things in a much more mundane way, life is just your atoms jiggling about. It's not particularly bad, when they stop jiggling together.
But even if you do prefer them being part of a pile that's deemed 'alive', your left toe is probably gonna get eaten by a worm and brought into a field, where a plant will pick up the atoms and grow some seeds, which get carried by a bird into the next forest and so on. Your atoms will almost certainly be part of many alive piles of atoms going forward.

Better than the original. As in, it's a faithful reimplementation with quality of life improvements, like higher resolution, support for modern operating systems, and most loading times eliminated.

I believe, there's still tiny differences to how the original behaved in certain situations, which is why they don't call it "1.0" yet, but you're not going to notice while playing.

("Russian Facebook" is pretty accurate.)

Fairerweise sind die auch oft da, falls es zu Auseinandersetzungen mit Nazis kommt...

This week at work, I had to use a brainstorming board software that I'm not familiar with, for an outside collaboration.
And the meeting organizer asked us to put a picture of ourselves onto the board, so we can track who's working on what.

I thought, you could do that with the "Sticker" feature, because it had a file upload dialog. So, I upload my photo there and after a few more clicks, nope, that's not how you do that. Instead, it had generated 4 pictures of me in dumb poses.

I would love to know what they were thinking:

• There was no explanation, so why would I assume that the file upload dialog isn't just a way to add custom images?
• It's rather creepy to just take my picture and spit out fakes in poses I've never been in.
• Who's actually going to use this? I'm sure some folks find it hilarious, but only the first time around, too.

Yeah, all in all, it just felt like they had to shoehorn in an AI feature, without rhyme or reason.

Man, you seem to get much nicer vegan cheese. In the shops here, it's just slices of hardened fat with flavoring and no protein.

Some brands do make it taste like real Gouda, but it still feels so very pointless to throw just some fat onto your bread. Might as well eat the bread by itself or, you know, with real food like baked beans or dal or such.

Probably also has to do with more people being online / on social media. Don't have to actively avoid news, if you just get them once per day via newspaper or TV.

One of the problems is that Firefox is often compared with soft-fork browsers.

Mozilla needs to develop the whole browser. They have to pay hundreds of devs. For that, they do need search engine deals and ad placements and all that.
That also means, they have to retain mainstream appeal, so they will ship features that some idealists may not like, like the recent AI features.
That's where virtually all criticism comes from, that Mozilla needs to make money to continue developing the browser.

And that even though all this stuff is easy to disable. Firefox forks like LibreWolf are cool, because they offer a configuration preset you can point people to.
What's not cool, is that lots of folks consider it a moral failing of Mozilla, that they don't ship LibreWolf's defaults. If they did, there would be no Firefox anymore and no LibreWolf.

Yeah, same for German "wuff". The pronunciation is slightly softer in "woof", but there's no letters you could use to make it sound more similar.

Yeah, basically if you want to play Morrowind, at this point you want to do so by using OpenMW. You do need to own the original game, but OpenMW makes it much easier to run on modern operating systems and has lots of quality-of-life improvements, like higher resolution, higher viewing distance, as well as most loading times eliminated.

From the article:

What they captured was the first footage of its kind ever recorded in Germany: pigs fighting for their lives as CO₂ flooded the chamber. Struggling to breathe. Panicking. Bloodying their heads against the walls. Screaming.

This is not an accident or an aberration. CO₂ stunning triggers an immediate, severe burning sensation in the mucous membranes of the nose, throat, and eyes. The animals experience intense pain, acute suffocation, and terror — for up to a minute before losing consciousness.

I believe, there's a way to gas pigs that just makes them sleepy and then pass out. I think, it was by using nitrogen. But yeah, that's not commonly done.
