All languages convey information at roughly similar rates. Those with less information per syllable tend to say more syllables per minute. It’s a fascinating area of linguistics!
All natural languages have ambiguities where the meaning of a word depends on context due to changes over time.
Kinda. You tend to lose weight and develop better sleep habits if you pay attention to them.
Would that be a coot point?
Rules governing bike traffic are generally quite reasonable though. It’s not like the enlightened traffic planners in the Netherlands went “you know what, cyclists don’t have to obey red lights” for example. So I’m not seeing the biases you’re talking about, at least in this example.
Comparing running red lights to sleeping under bridges or steal for survival seems, at best, hyperbolic. In any case I don’t think that quote supports the view that the law is intentionally biased
In UK cities where there is extensive cycling and infrastructure, cyclists still run red lights quite often. As a cyclist I don’t obey every traffic law either.
On my old way to work there was a traffic light controlling the entrance to a car park from the main road, but entering traffic was so infrequent that it was always very tempting to dart across. On the same route, a cut across pavement for 25 metres saved negotiating a large roundabout or dismounting.
Neither place could really have had better infrastructure: the junction had poor visibility so you couldn’t see if a car was coming if you did chance it. Backing up the main road wouldn’t have been sensible so both of these mean it couldn’t have been a simple give-way. The section of pavement is narrow and on a bend, so to cycle it safely you must go slow enough to stop. Putting a cycle lane in there would have invited people to go too fast.
And we can still encourage both to obey the rules! Amazing!
I believe cats have been getting wider by an average of 5mm per year for the last few decades
If they don’t like the paint, they can repaint. If they don’t like the conversation pit, they can remodel… which is gonna be more expensive but I have to imagine if you’re buying a house with a conversation pit you’re probably pretty well off already.
Writing “dump him” is directly saying “dump him” my friend.
Laying out the cards like this is not hiding your actual feelings.
Do you realise the post is a joke?
There is no implication that the previous times the subject used tarot to convince the person to stay in their relationship. If anything it’s the opposite.
No, the judge made a request after the court order was violated.
I understand that there is a presumption that these things are mistakes but at this point the judicial system needs to start finding the us government in contempt quickly, because it’s clear it isn’t acting in good faith.
Report on it.
Unfortunately there is no perfect move because trump’s desire is to be in the news 24/7, so he still sees it as winning.
Just imagine how different things would be if his mum had paid attention to him as a kid.
Why is loaning “big brother” better than any of these options?
At this point, “big brother” has entered the lexicon, but originally it was surely supposed to convey the idea of someone you were close to but looked up to, and who would protect you. That irony is kind of lost if you don’t translate it.
You read the obvious truth. If you’re just getting by, can’t really save anything each month, and then your phone breaks and you need a new one (as in, it’s your only means of communication, so you can’t work and earn money without it) then spreading out costs over several months may help.
It’s the plug one
I have no idea whether this was part of the repressive campaign to punish Trump’s opponents, or sabotage of the same.
Whoosh.
Unfortunately whooshes are inevitable when people post serious stuff in shitposting
It’s telling that most replies are apologia for the assassination of right wing politicians but there has been much violence against left wing politicians in recent years, including the assassination of Jo Cox in the UK.
