Their statement is probably incorrect. This says that 39% of India’s population is “vegetarian” (with the definition left to the respondent): https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/07/08/eight-in-ten-indians-limit-meat-in-their-diets-and-four-in-ten-consider-themselves-vegetarian/

I see claims that 9% of the population is vegan, but can’t find the source of that figure (on brief examination).

That’s only if it’s on a GFI. The resistance to Earth for a typical human is well below the “boy this space heater sure is drawing a lot of power” line that a breaker detects.

You can know that it doesn’t do something without knowing what it does. For example, there’s a light switch in my house in a room with a light. I know that flipping that switch does not turn the light on… But I don’t know what it does.

Easy, when two guys have the same first name, just enjoy them both the same amount. Give good/bad advice to make up the delta.

That’s a much better question, though! “Here’s a stack trace and the source code. Walk me through where to go from here.”

Most places use at least some open source software, so most places can do this, and if you ask your sys admin team nicely, there’s probably some stack traces available, hot off the prod.

That’s the Medditerain’t, right there.

We need to ban fully automatic transmissions.

1. Not everything is going to evolve into crabs.

2. I’ve read a wikipedia page about the Dunning Kruger effect, so I understand it as well as an expert.

3. Name brand Band-aid self adhesive sterile bandages really are that much better. If you grew up using anything else, your parents didn’t love you, or you were extremely poor (or both).

4. Tryptophan is not the thing that makes you tired after overeating on Thanksgiving. It’s mostly carbs, and the fact that so many people uncritically repeat this easily disproven lie is a sign of how little concern for the truth almost everyone has, almost all the time.

You’re really going to put that up against “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” by Mariah Carey?

“Sporange” does. If you’re especially bad at pronouncing words, many other things also rhyme with orange, like flange, range, and monkey.

People with big mouths (like me, I have a big mouth) eat hotdogs in bites that span left to right, and top to bottom along (approximately) a plane that lies perpendicular to the axis along which the hotdog was extruded. With this approach, the condiments merely have to run the length of the hotdog (or just the bun if you dislike messy eating) in order for them to participate in every bite.

Only small mouth dweebs that can’t fit a wide, juicy frank into their mouth when they’re gobbling down a… Nevermind, I think I got sidetracked.

I’m destined to go to heavim forever.

I won the bet. Please send me the money at your earliest convenience.

None of the other openings you mention are big enough for a dick like him.

I dislike systemd less than I dislike sysvinit, so it has that going for it.

Owls don’t weigh 16 pounds (except for fat owls). 300 kilowatts is a rate of energy, not a total quantity of energy. 300 kilowatt hours (which is possibly what they meant?) Is only around 260,000 kilocalories (which is called “calories” on food labels because units of measure were made up by humans). According to an extremely naive google search, that would only take an owl 5 years to consume, rather than 10. If the original number were correct, that would mean this owl eats 8,000 calories per day. Which is not typical.

Onto the broader point, the efficiency of birds in flight is not as simple as this image suggests. There is no (useful) formula that takes the weight of a bird and the distance it will fly and tells you how many calories that takes. Birds can fly at different elevations, at different speeds. They can fly with or against the wind. They can change many things about how they fly to be more efficient or less efficient.

If you really want to know how many calories it takes for an owl to cross the ocean, first get the owl to the point of starvation, then bring it on a boat to the middle of the ocean. Feed it a fixed number of Tootsie pops, then sink the boat. With nowhere else to land, the owl will be forced to fly to shore. Based on how far the owl makes it, you can determine how far each tootsie pop allowed it to fly, and derive calories per mile from that.

They would hit the mountains at that height, and the FAA requires them to be up above airplane traffic anyways. After that, it gets crowded right above the launch pads, and sometimes there’s shooting stars and stuff, so some satellites are forced to go even higher.

A keep

I suspect it started with self censorship (“as f”) rather than abbreviation.

That’s Anthony Daniels, playing the role of the god of the Ewoks.
