He did barely a year of prison... I personally don't quite think it's enough for raping a kid, but hey that's just my opinion

Maybe, just maybe, if editors did a hint of work with all the money they steal from public science funding, we could stabilise the system towards more integrity and less quantity of publication. Or also just get rid of editors to obtain the same result, but this is sadly utopic today. Peer reviewing is not the problem, and probably still is the best way to assess research quality. However, tendency towards quantity over quality, and applied research over fundamental are what skews the process and its results

My guess would be better approximation as you avoid a "fluke", as 8 second is a very short time where nothing could easily happen even with crickets being present

I am European and heavily against punitive justice. But I think one year of prison for a crime almost universally considered among the worst is not enough for rehabilitation, and I find this opinion validated by the lack of understanding or even remorse shown by the guy in public statements

This community is related to basically anything negative regarding cars. As such road rage is very much qualified, as it's a very much car-induced problem, both directly (as in people in cars are implicated) and more indirectly (as in car-first infrastructure is bad for everybody involved, including cars, and pushes for this sort of things to keep happening)

I feel inappropriate near all the very universal questions here, but as a paleontologist specialised in some reptilian groups, the question would probably be "where the fuck do turtles come from?!" The thing is that fossil evidence points to different answers when compared to genetic evidence, and thez separated long enough from other extant groups that we keep on having new "definitive" answers every year

Because, as this article that you keep linking says, they already made bank with the broken product in the first place. They could have just taken the money and closed the studio, or at least rebranding and going for the same trick again and again, as so many other actually do. They did not do that, they chose to do the opposite, which was an incredibly bold decision at the time.

You also keep linking another article showing how they made so much money recently, like in 2022, but you forget that this is now, with hindsight. In 2016 just after release, it was more dangerous for them to keep working on a game nobody trusted anymore.

And for the record, I bought NMS in 2022, and liked it okay-ish. It's far from the best game ever, but arguing like you do that "they only added stuff they said would be in the game in the first place" is clearly fallacious.

Why are you still trying to get people say that street racing is OK ? You tried several times, framed the question many ways, and are reduced to comparing it to another terrible selfish behaviour to try and have a smidgen of validation... That's kind of sad actually, when you ask questions, you should have the courage to face any answer, not just the one you wished for, and respect that

So the thing is, like other commenters have said, you're asking metaphysics things through the prism of science, which does not work because by nature, science uses the (mostly) objective scientific method, while metaphysics is based on subjective assessments.

You have to separate the physical, material universe as being in the domain of what can be known, from the rest, which can not be, and never will. This does not mean it doesn't exist, just that it can never be studied or proved in any way, so anyone can believe what they wish about it without leaving rationality (as long as the belief does not imply things concerning the material universe)

Very good start, but as a French I fear that it may not be complete until it starts to include the high speed lines (TGV) that are the most expensive but also the most competitive when trying to divert traffic from cars or planes

As others have stated, water in trees gets up thanks to two processes. The first is indeed capillary action. The tubes carrying the water are rather thin, and it clings to the sides of it. But this is a rather small part of the total energy carrying the water. The main mechanism is a negative pressure inside the vascular system of the tree. Basically, tree leaves sweat water all the time (more or less depending on temperature). The water leaving the tree kind of sucks up the water following inside the vessels (this is a simplification to not go into the physics behind). In some larger trees, the negative pressure inside the vascular system can be exceptionally strong, requiring exceptional strength of the tree's components.

My two cents are the following : avoid irritation as much as you can. This means doing as few passes as you can, if possible shaving somewhat less often, and/or shave less close to the skin, for exemple using an electric trimmer. You should wash beforehand using hot water, and afterwards using cold water, and then dry before moisturising. I personally use and beeswax and olive oil based cream but a lot of products will do the trick. Remember that every skin is different, and sometimes, you can do everything right and still have symptoms, so you should adjust your shaving habits to accommodate those

J'ai réalisé seulement après mes 20 ans que "euro" c'était parce que c'était la monnaie de l'Europe... Mais le must c'était quand même au collège, j'ai dévoré les livres Harry Potter, sans avoir lu les films, et quand j'en parlais je prononçais Ron comme le mot "rond", jusqu'à tomber honteusement tard sur quelqu'un qui m'a pointé la prononciation normale

Not too much techy, paleontologist here

Only in the souls like niche, but Iron Pineapple covers a lot of often unknown indie games in his series of steam dumpster diving (don't be fooled by the name, a lot of the games are good)

Au delà de l'infox qui est en effet dommageable, la règle en elle-même est ce qui pose vraiment question, et à raison. Le fait que n'importe quel bagage supérieur à une valise cabine soit hors-norme dans le moyen de transport le plus adapté lors des correspondances entre gares doit être au minimum discuté

In phylogeny, genomic is just another tool. The point is that turtles are os course animals, but they do branch off of different reptile groups if you look at morphological evidence (which includes fossil data) or at molecular (genetic) evidence (which only includes extant species). This is not something frequent, as usually molecular evidence tends to strengthen previous morphologically established evolutionary relationships. And even though molecularists are more numerous today, their methods are neither better or worse than anatomy.

Phylogeny is not as straightforward as some people make it seem, and especially molecular phylogeny tends to rely on abstract concepts that can't always be backed up by biological evidence (I'm not saying it's wrong, it's very often very good, juste that a lot of people doing it do not understand the way it works, and thus can't examine the process critically).

And so turtles' origin are still very much an active debate!

Pricetag sets expectations, simple as that. It is documented that no matter the product, people have more trust in a more expensive product than a cheaper one, even if they are actually identical. And thus, people also rightfully expect more of a more expensive product. Let's talk about cars for example : if I buy an old overused small one just to get from point A to point B, I'll be absolutely satisfied if I paid a few hundred bucks, and absolutely not if I paid a few thousands.

Same with games, if I have a small indie game entertain me somewhat for a few hours, I'll be super okay if it cost me a few bucks, and super not ok if it cost me 60 or 80 euros. The intrinsic quality may not change, but that was never what was discussed in the first place.

I don't agree but I like the meme, upvoted!
