  • Like with any other ability, like painting or playing an instrument, learning a language is something that some people can do better than others.

    And while starting to learn a language as a baby or toddler has it's advantages (Our kids basically grew up bilingual), I started learning English in school when I was 11, and I still managed to learn it. Yes, native speakers will still tell me that I have an accent, but I'm good enough that they cannot place it, just that it is not native. With only 2-3 weeks a year in the UK, it is probably the closest I can get. Written English is another matter, anyway. I've probably read way more English books than the average native speaker...

  • Germany: I'm fine with the status quo. You really have to prove that you really need a gun to get it - Most Americans would simply not qualify under our rules. The Police has weapons, but they are much better trained than the American Gung-Ho, shoot first, ask questions later cops.

  • We have two supermarkets within five minutes walking distance, if you make it ten minutes, it's four.

    Also within ten minutes walking distance are two middle schools, a primary school, and two kindergardens, several doctors and apothecaries, several shops, and the central bus station.

    The latter is a bit of an disappointment, as not only the bus service is low frequency, and it takes an hour+ to the city.

  • Yes, but you can write it in different ways. If the numeric string contains a dot, left of it must be between 0 and 255, and is put in the highest byte of the address. If the rest also contains a dot, repeat, but put it into the second highest byte.

    BUT: if the string does not contain a dot, the number is put into the remaining bytes.

    So 123.256 is a valid address. The 123 goes into the top byte, the 256 goes into the remaining three bytes, so the address would be 123.0.1.0.

    Most common example is 127.1, which is short for 127.0.0.1 - the localhost address.

  • One of the core rule of business is that you don't sell what you do not have. Because that is basivally the definition of fraud (at least one of them).

    If you don't have the manpower to deliver "Prime Day", don't offer "Prime Day", as simple as that.

  • Looks like kids outside the US are just smart enough not to swallow these things, then.

    And from the viewpoint of food safety, you put a rather impressive amount of things in food that other nations FDA equivalents consider inedible.

  • Could you direct me to the paper where it was proven?

    Sadly, no. I sat down and tried to remember the title, but it won't come up. It is not old, two to three months at most, I'd say. I'm going to bed now, maybe it will pop up tomorrow. In that case, I'll update this.

  • The "fat cells are multiplying" is normal when having surplus calories in the body. The "empty fat cells scream hunger" is something that was suspected basically for ages, but has finally be proven not long ago, the paper is less than half a year old. It had been referred to here on Lemmy, at least to a science or nature article that pointed to the paper.
