Obligatory mention of the novel [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schild%27s_Ladder](Schild's Ladder) by Greg Egan.

Such a scenario would be interesting indeed.

Sure, let's write a proposal for LSD-based feline experimentation, give the cats just catnip and keep the LSD for ourselves.

Summary: It's all changes in capitalisation and writing things together or as two words.

Demonyms referring to people from cities or districts should now be spelt with a capital letter, as those referring to nationalities already are – e.g. “Krakowianin” (Cracovian)

Either lower case or upper case may be used for what the RJP calls “unofficial ethnic names” (some of which are used pejoratively), such as “Angol”/“angol” to refer to an Englishman (who should properly be called “Anglik”) or “Żabojad”/“żabojad” (literally “frog-eater”) for a Frenchman (who should properly be called “Francuz”)

Brand names should be spelt with a capital letter also when referring to an individual specimen, e.g. “Zaparkował czerwony Ford” (“He parked a red Ford”)

The prefix “pół-” (semi-) should be combined with the rest of the word in compounds like “półżartem” (half-joking)

The prefix “nie-” (un-, non-, not) should always be combined with adjectives and adverbs, regardless of semantic interpretation – previously writers could opt to write the words separately based on the specific meaning

Greater use of capital letters:

in proper nouns denoting geographical names like parks, churches, estates, castles, bridges, squares, avenues, etc. – the exception being the word “ulica” (street), which remains lower case. For example: ulica Józefa Piłsudskiego, Aleja Róż, Brama Warszawska, Plac Zbawiciela, Park Kościuszki

In the names of prizes, e.g. “Nagroda Nobla” (Nobel Prize)

Thanks! It's a pet peeve of mine when people use an abbreviated genus name without having written the full genus name first.

The photograph is taken looking up in a room. There are thousands of cables hanging down from the ceiling to the floor, with LEDs attached at regular intervals. The room has mirrors on the walls, on the ceiling and on the floor, so in whatever direction you look you see this. The whole this is programmed to shown different colors changing over time, combined with music and sounds. You can go through the room through a predefined path where the cables are shorter and don't reach the floor, allowing you to walk under them. It gives the illusion that you're in the middle of some infinite arrangement of lights, going on in all directions, sometimes moving, sometimes rotating, or just pulsating with the music. The room is part of a wider art installation called "teamLab SuperNature", in Macau, and it is quite a unique experience.

Thanks for putting the name in the title!

I think that's only used in Chinese and Japanese, so that °C occupies as much space as a Chinese/Japanese character.

I'm not so sure. They forgot the citations, and also the acknowledgments for the project that gave the funding.

Groovy

Also, very interesting cactus

Comment tu peux mettre "brillat" au niveau A alors que c'est clairement un fromage a deux mots

Where is the TGV?

Brilliant timing

Ça me rappelle le "e-Visa" (je me rappelle plus du nom exact) pour aller en Inde. Votre image est trop grande, elle ne doit pas être plus grande que X MB. Je scale down ma photo et je re-upload. Votre image a une résolution trop petite, elle doit faire au moins Y*Z pixels. Je prends le GIMP et j'ajuste les settings jusqu'à ce que j'ai un ficher qui tombe pile entre les deux contraintes. C'était juste. Je sais pas comment font les gens qui sont un peu moins techniques.

Beautiful and terrifying

At first I thought it was a caterpillar

Not sure, but it separated by itself, so I guess it should be fine (if I take care of it correctly, that is)

I think the Thai script may derive from some Sanskrit-related script, but the Thai language itself is in a family called the Kra--Dai languages, formerly known as Tai--Kadai

French is "ouah ouah".

German can be "wuff wuff" or "wau wau".

I doubt the rest is correct
