Its the passport that also works for domestic air travel now that they banned drivers' licenses.

It does not have your address on it, so its a safer document to use to prove your age.

When learning a language, you don't do literally everything by the book. In the real world you have to figure it out and extrapolate from incomplete information, and sometimes you get it a bit wrong.

From a few minutes playing on an autotranslator, it appears that Norwegan uses the same word for male/man and female/woman. Like the noun and adjective versions are the same word with different conjugations. A Norwegan learning english as a second language can quite reasonably be unaware that there is a distinction there.

It's pretty normal to use male and female when specifying gender as an adjective. Man and woman are nouns. Calling a professional a female manager, or male teacher is normal english grammar. Using male or female as a noun is the red flag, which upon re-reading they also do... hmmmm

But OP constantly genders the channel instead of the creator which feels more non-native english speaker to me. They post about european stuff and in norwegean. Don't read too much into it.

The law requires consent to record. Its not a contract or license to only use it for those things.

Consent is a weird word in the context its used for private recordings. A better word for laypeople would be disclose or notice. In those states you just have to mention that you are recording.

The consent is not an active agreement to be recorded, but a passive consent by continuing the call after the notice is given.

"This call may be recorded" does mean you may record the call.

Taxes can, and should go over 100% of income. Billionaires have enough assets to live without income.

I was expecting to see this from the headline alone.

Most people are citizens of where they also live and give birth so this distinction doesn't come up in most cases. But for children born to immigrants or travelers it does.

Citizenship can either be assigned by where you were born, or who you were born to.

Birthright citizenship, as we use the term in the US, is mostly a new world invention. In nearly all countries in the americas, any children born here are citizens without exception. No matter the parents, no matter the circumstances.

In the old world, most countries require a parent to be a citizen in order for the child to also be a citizen.

Generally if an american couple gives birth in Europe, the child will just be american, despite where they were born. If a European couple gives birth in any of the americas, their child will be a citizen of the americas, despite anything else

Is it surprising when traditional sources have paywalls and podcasts don't?

You are PARTICULARLY obnoxious posting the EXACT same joke on two different news stories within seconds with BAFFLING capitalization

security through obscurity is not security

This would have happened under any other president.

Mass surveillance does not work. It does not prevent terrorist attacks under any president.

There hasn't been a single one of elon's companies that delivered on promised prices.

Falcon 9 is more expensive than promised. His tunnels weren't cheaper. His cars are more expensive than promised. Cybertruck is over $100k when he promised under $40k at the launch.

Focus on what his companies can deliver. That is real. His fantasy rockets that would be superior in all ways do not exist.

It is a scar. it reads more clearly in other pictures

The one good thing from oceangate was the fact that the CEO trusted his own life to his invention. He was in the sub when it imploded.

As stupid as he is, musk is unfortunately smart enough to know not to risk his own life in his own rockets.

Sorry for the very tangent.

That speech frequency graph is a good visual of why for trans voice training, resonance is more important than pitch. The pitch is nearly the same, the difference is in which overtones are projected.

Where did you find it? I would like to read more about the methodology.

Sound is complicated. Its both physics and perception.

The decibel scale is logarithmic. If you double the energy you increase the dB level by 3. Two people will be about 3 dB higher, four people would be 6, eight people would increase the level by 9 dB, sixteen would be 12 dB higher and so on.

Some people in this thread are talking about destructive interference. That really only happens in noise canceling headphones, or situations designed to cause it. In open air, its not really an issue that comes up. I've never become quieter by playing an instrument with someone else. It just doesn't work like that.

What lets the monster hear you is the peak volume, not the minimum or average, so it will be close to the 3 dB doubling rule.

There's also perception. Your brain does a ton of filtering of sound information. Your brain is constantly trying to pick out the important sounds and ignore the rest. That's why the quieter severs seem quieter when something louder happens. Also that's why some people use white noise machines to sleep.

Apollo 9 Apollo 8 went to the moon but they had multiple test flights prior to that numbering. Those are a more reasonable point of comparison.

Edit: I misremembered the number.

spacex is also not starting from zero. They previously made the falcon 9.

Just for comparison, on their 9th test flight the Apollo program they had already successfully reached orbit 5 times.

The 9th test flight of the Soyuz was their 7th time reaching orbit.

Elon's 9th attempt is his second time reaching the bottom of the Indian ocean. Shows the level of proficiency in spacex.
