Does not matter. All these natural rubbers are very similar in how they work, you can find a paper on the polymerization in chicle here if you don't believe me.

Yes really, still a polymer: it forms polyisoprene upon drying. You also find the stuff (synthesised from oil, yes, but chemically indistinguishable) in tires and condoms.

Also, chemically they are identical. Plastic made of a plant is still a plastic.

But no-one is hiring professors because they are good at peer reviewing. Spending time on research is simply a 'better' use of your time.

No they are not. The literal equivalent would be 'It rains'. Tenses just work slightly different in English.

Come on, this is just a joke adults will understand while children will not. If you think double entendres are censorship, I don't know what to tell you.

Probably, although there would still need to be some evolutionary pressure for forward facing eyes... I wonder what it is.

Please don't! Or at least make it possible to change the app language instead of following the system if you do. Plenty of apps have faulty 'translations' that just make the app unusable. Especially because app text typically has no context, so you get these weird literal translations.

Enjoy finding a literal english translation that corresponds to something I may want to do in your app!

No, you may disagree with changing the minimum time from 3 to 5 years, but this is not 'a Nazi'. Let's keep that word for actual Nazi things, instead of 'things I vaguely disagree with'.

I don't know if first authorship needs to go away. I've definitely been 2nd or 3rd author for a few days of work (as compared to months of work for the first author).

You can give detailed attribution (many papers require them nowadays), but no-one ever reads them.

Haha, DB also does this with foreign delays. I've been in a German train starting in Amsterdam that left 5 mins late - they mentioned it at every stop until Munich.

In the order of 40000 people, so pretty tiny compared to the big search engines.

A candidate for genuinely Dutch hot dog-like food are maybe broodjes rookworst:

Or maybe even worstenbroodjes, now that I think of it...

Somewhat relevant XKCD

This is how I started in a tiny room. I am not proud, but maybe good to show between all the shiny things here.

Unfortunately there are many counterexamples, large animals that live long in the wild tend to have shorter lives in zoos, like elephants, hippos, and monkeys.

It is nice, but not e-ink

My personal printer works flawlessly on Linux, except that it cannot be convinced to print double-sided, no matter how deep I dig into the settings. Boils my blood.

Most consumers are familiar with the 802.11 standards

Lol, no. Not in any way.
