I ignore any calls that are not from my contacts. If it's important they'll leave a message. I have DND on at night. Calls and messages from my wife have separate sounds and exception from DND.

Samsung galaxy has the same feature (at least on the S25, I don't recall if I had it on the S10)

"Care e diferența dintre un porc și o râmă? Porcul râmă, dar râma nu porc".

It's not translatable directly because in Romanian there's a word for digging with the snout. That word is the same word as the word for earthworm. So it goes like "What's the difference between a pig and an earthworm? The pig digs (earthworms), but the earthworm doesn't pig."

In English there's one very similar in concept: "What is the difference between a fly and a flea? A fly can flee, but a flea can't fly."

UX experience

We should shorten that to UXX

Or just go to vger.app, which defaults to lemm.ee but allows you to register and log in with a whole bunch of different instances.

that allow one to throw an object to capture a monster

Like throwing a net to catch a fish?

Ok, that's absurd. I thought it makes sense to change the name for people in the US if that's the official name in the US (according to the USGS data, which has always been the official source for this info). But translating the US name into other languages that already have a name for it makes no sense.

That was pretty much how parking worked in a lot of places in my hometown. There was someone collecting the "parking fee" and it was wise to pay it. Nothing official, basically a protection racket.

They first need to prove he's the murderer

There are studies about how other tools reduced various capacities. Our memory capacity has decreased and how we use it has changed. People used to store a lot of information, now we only store a sort of index (we remember where to look it up, not the information itself). Our attention span has also greatly decreased with the shift to short form content (not a useful tool, but just another cognitive change).

"MAGA republicans slam Trump for ..." and your read the article and it's one isolated tweet from some rando nobody heard of before.

Why is nobody opening any action against Musk's legal status? He'll probably win, but anything in his defense would set precedent for defending other immigrants.

It exists

aything is better as GMail, only Hotmail is worse

So yahoo mail?

I'm too lazy to double check now, but afaik the problem with his voyage was the exact opposite. People knew that the earth was round and its approximate radius, so they knew that going all the way around the other side to India would be much too long of a voyage. What they didn't know was that there was a whole other continent in the way.

I wrote my next essay in highlighter

When I went to school that would have been an automatic fail. We had clear rules about what we can and cannot write with (fountain pen was the standard, but some teachers were fine with ballpoint pens too).

It's never difficult. Wikipedia cites sources. It's very easy to check if any piece of information has citations and what those citations are.

That means that the gas above the boiling water is colder than the boiling water itself.

But if it's colder then it's not steam. It's air mixed with water vapor. Steam is by definition hotter than boiling water.

That was a culture shock for me when I moved to the US. I knew that back in the day, in rural areas of my country, the markets only opened once a week. I was shocked to find that happen in urban/suburban areas in the US. Back home I could just go to the closest market any day. Morning news would have a report comparing prices in different markets across the city, so you could pick the one that has the best price for what you need that day.

Or she didn't read the books and that's the quote she could come up with.
