He is a standard. Making him the frame reference. Weren't you taught that in school? 2 Juans make 1 Carlos and it takes 3 Carloss to make Jose. Which means of course there are 6 Juans in every Jose.
Hey man I can't be held responsible for the archaic Jose system of measuring. I know it is old and outdated, but is still the system used to measure giant turtle fossils.
Carlos is, but Carloss are part of the Jose measuring system. Just that one Carlos is usually about the size of most giant turtles. Oh and it is written like the Roman Numerals. So you count it Juan, JuanCarlos, Carlos, CarlosJuan, CarlosCarlos, CarlosCarlosJuan,JuanJose, Jose, and so on.
The Juan measuring system predates this discovery of bananas by giant turtle archaeologist. No one has ever bothered to create a conversion chart. Because giant turtle archaeologists don't eat bananas. I don't know why though, you have to ask them.
A Boeing 737 plane carrying 85 people skidded off the runway at the airport in Dakar, Senegal’s capital, injuring 10 people, a statement from the country’s transport minister said in a statement on Thursday....
Are they also responsible for flying the plane, performing the maintenance, or confirming the maintenance has been done? No
And is much more likely that this was the fault of the pilots. It appears to be a departing aircraft. It is likely that the pilots went for an aborted takeoff after V1 and they failed to get the aircraft stopped in time.
I'm not trying to defend Boeing but not everything is their fault.
I did a little reading and yes the defusers do bring up a lot of water. They just don't know how much compared to the tires. Or at least they are not saying.
Yes it is, it is a 737 it looks like NG but is hard to tell for sure. Southwest only flies the 737. But I don't really see how that is relevant to a lost Hobbs.
I have always wondered if there could be a little strip of gravel next to the track and then switch back the tarmac. It would keep drivers from dipping their toes off the track and still provide the safety of a tarmac run off.
Haven't you heard? Mexico doesn't exist it is just drawn on the map to make people think that Canada and The United States are to the rest of the American Continent. Everyone who says they are from Mexico are just paid actors. /s
Also they left out New Zealand, which will not come as a surprise for New Zealanders. They will probably be happy that they are even on the map.
I know this is just a shit post but fuck is this eurocentric and a bit racist let me refer you to the world happiness rank. The
Corruption Perceptions Index and This map of real GDP.
Weirdly enough it is very hard to get corrupt politicians, civil servants, etc to check the yes box for the question are you corrupt. So corruption perception is used, which is actually pretty accurate. The local population is pretty good at noticing when they're being asked to pay a bribe or seeing that nepotism is present in government.
If you were to look at the ranked list you would find that Uruguay, Barbados, Bhutan, and Botswana. Are all ahead of Greece, Montenegro, Romanian, Bulgaria, and Hungry.
As for the happiness index did you actually scroll down to the full list? Yes most of the country you would expect to be high on the list. There are plenty of outliers, Costa Rica is higher than the USA; Uruguay is higher than France; El Salvador is higher than Italy, Malta, Spain, Estonia, and Poland; Honduras and China are higher than Croatia, Greece, and Bosnia and Hertzegovina. I am sure there are more but I hope you get how it does not support the joke.
Is eurocentric and a little racist because it clearly states that the only countries worth living in are European or North America (except Mexico which apparently doesn't exist). This meme is basically saying living in Europe or the United States is the best and everywhere else is a shit hole country. Yet looking at the actual data we can see that is not true.
I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to implement that, but it might not be as effective as you would hope. The drivers aren't looking at any indicator in the middle of a turn. They are completely focused on their entry speed, brake pressure, hitting the apex and when to throttle on. So any kind of flashy light or noise could be very distracting to them. Also they have flashing lights on their steering wheel already another flashy light might just get lost in the mix.
Your comment just seems like a good one to add this to. It is not any form of commentary on you or you comment
So the word Semite refers to pretty much everyone who lived in the now middle east. It is a pretty old and mostly outdated word. That was surprising enough created by some white Europeans, who were busy categorizing the world from their safe office of their learned institutions.
Here is a map of the languages that are considered semitic as a rough idea the people that could fall under this term
Obviously antisemitism is used to refer to Jewish people, though it is really being used incorrectly. It should be used in a way that someone hates both Jew and Arabs, and a few other groups too.
Anyway you all have a little bit of useless knowledge.
Okay if you are going to quote me please quote it fully.
Obviously antisemitism is used to refer to Jewish people,
Also if you had read further down the Wikipedia article you would have seen this paragraph
The origin of "antisemitic" terminologies is found in the responses of Moritz Steinschneider to the views of Ernest Renan. As Alex Bein writes: "The compound anti-Semitism appears to have been used first by Steinschneider, who challenged Renan on account of his 'anti-Semitic prejudices' [i.e., his derogation of the "Semites" as a race]."[27] Avner Falk similarly writes: "The German word antisemitisch was first used in 1860 by the Austrian Jewish scholar Moritz Steinschneider (1816–1907) in the phrase antisemitische Vorurteile (antisemitic prejudices). Steinschneider used this phrase to characterise the French philosopher Ernest Renan's false ideas about how 'Semitic races' were inferior to 'Aryan races'".
So there is some historical use where it refers to more than just Jewish people.
Oh and I looked up this Ernest Renan. He was a very hateful guy. He definitely hated Jewish people, though he pretty much hated everyone that wasn't white and Christian. He probably had mixed feelings about anyone who wasn't French too.
Look I have no agenda here. I am not trying to diminish real racism. I just find it interesting that a word has changed the common understanding of its root word.
I also find it interesting that both the Arabic and Hebrew greetings. Have the same root word, sound very similar, and both translate to peace. It just doesn't feel relevant to my original comment.

It has a partnership with bing. So sadly now it is mostly a bing clone. I have been using DDG for a decade. I noticed a distinct drop in search quality after the bing partnership.
Try Startpage. I have just started using it so I can't tell you how it compares. I also need to look up who owns it. But I have been told it has the same privacy qualities of DDG.

I work at an airport. We have shifts spanning all 24 hours. Nope, I could work more normal hours, but I choose not to. 4:30 am is a little earlier than I would like, but it does have a few advantages, I don't catch as much of the heat in the summer, I get off early in the day if I don't work overtime, and that shift has the most competent coworkers. Oh and the company I work for offers some pretty good benefits.
Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...
I don't hate vegans. I even dated one for a while. She would eat veggies, I would eat meat. It worked because neither of us were dismissive of the others choice.
I do hate being preached to. I think most people do. Many of my encounters with vegans were ones where they were very hostile to me. For just not being vegan. I wasn't going around telling them veganism was bad or that they were a terrible person for being vegan. I have been told that by vegans. That I am a bad person for eating meat.
I have to eat meat I have always had a high metabolism. At various times in my life my maintenance diet had to be at least 3,000 calories. Plus of course any additional food needed for non maintenance activities. Additionally I'm allergic to soy. This means that it would be nearly impossible for me to have gotten enough food without eating meat. I am pretty certain that if I had not eaten meat and animal fat. I would have died as a child, or at best had serious issues with nutrition. I was well fed as a child. I could eat as much as I wanted, still many of my memories of childhood were ones of hunger.
I even explained this to someone once and they responded by saying "well you didn't die" and then heavily implied they wish I did. As if me not dying made my point invalid.
This is why I am skeptical of vegans and vegan ideology. It is often toxic, and actively tries to hurt and shame people. Even people like me who are effectively choiceless in regards to eating meat.
Often even non-militant vegans will allow this behavior. I know how frustrating it can be to be told you need to police your own community. Though that doesn't mean it's okay to allow bad behavior amongst your peers.
I really appreciate how you completely distilled my life in one comment without any understanding of the context. You basically did the exact same thing. That I was saying I found hurtful in my comment. Thanks
Yeah there are other reasons but you know I didn't really wanted to share them before. And now with your reaction I definitely don't want to share them. Also you do know your maintenance diet is just the calories you need for your basic metabolic needs. It doesn't take into account any calories needed to gain weight (something I have been trying to do all my life) or any activity. I remember days where I could have multiple 1200 to 1500 calories meals and still have snacks in between because I would get hungry between meals.
You call bs on me without having context. Yeah I didn't share context for reasons. Maybe you shouldn't attack someone when they say they have been attacked in the exact same way and found it hurtful.
Well this comic from about 1990. Though I really think the joke was in the absurdity of it. That tofu gazelles exists and that obligate carnivores didn't notice until they had already killed it and were eating it.
This was my mom's favorite far side and she was an avid tofu eater. Not that really means anything.
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have to "force" him to share... ( i.ibb.co )
