https://slimemoldtimemold.com/2021/07/11/a-chemical-hunger-part-ii-current-theories-of-obesity-are-inadequate/ is a good analysis of why calories in calories out is both true and not a good model for how weight gain/loss works in people.

Yes, good

This is true today but for a while in the 20th century 伊 was used for "she"

Ok but in writing you do, at least if you're my college professors and want to make your students sad

他 third person singular, neutral 她 she 它 it (non-human, especially inanimate) 牠 it (animal) 祂 third person singular (divine)

Came here to post this. Sure seems like states are the problem here...

Down with states and stature
Strive instead to ready
Through direct radical action
Root changes grow fruitful
Refreshed from old ashes
Our society rises
We sow personal power
To free all the people

If we assume portals obey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galilean_invariance, then there's no difference between "the tram|portal is moving and the people are stationary" and "the tram|portal is stationary and the people are moving." The outcome should be the same.

This is because your operands are const char[]. That's not a std::string.

C++ does, but it's not a very efficient operation. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/operator%2B

"well actually" room temperature superconductors do exist, quite definitely! ... But only at 100 gigapascals of pressure. https://uspex-team.org/static/file/Troyan2022_ufn227g_High-temperature%20superconductivity%20in%20hydrides.pdf

Still really cool, but not useful for engineering.

I agree that this paper needs to be replicated before we get excited.

There's a lot of space in the left that isn't stalinism. You can be a communist and have a deep critique of how 20th century communism worked, a learning from it and not wanting to repeat the bad parts.

In leftist circles in the US, weird Stalin and Lenin fans are loud, but ultimately not that common.

Socialism is not inherently authoritarian. Yes, 20th century socialism following Lenin's example was. But it's not inherent.

Socialism is about workers controlling economic production - at it's core. That's a democratic, anti-authoritarian idea.

Libertarian socialist like me are extremely salty at the leninists and others like them for giving the rest of us a bad name.

One way you might resolve this is to get everybody talking about it without the boss there. I bet nobody likes the policy. Maybe everyone would agree to not give a reason, or to give the same reason that is an obvious lie?

It's really a shame Stallman and many of the other free software pioneers are absolutely creeps to women.

Yeah. It's also a lot easier to put in cameras then rip out a stroad.

Speed cameras in NYC are extremely effective at reducing speeding.

Legal changes enabled NYC to issue tickets from speed cameras at night and on weekends starting in August of last year. This provided a great natural experiment because they were recording speeding events before and after.

Speeding dropped 40% by March.
