This is news? I've seen these around for years

Steel is mostly iron but it's not called iron

Not most places, no. Some local businesses might. I think it's against credit card companies' rules, though.

Say inshallah instead

That's how Canada did it. If you selectively choose when to pay cash and when to pay card you can save like basically nothing lmao

Fascism is when you advocate for the poor to not get utterly fucked

3% annual raise isn't a raise. When someone gets a 3% raise after a year they are literally making exactly what they started at if inflation is 3% annually.

Implying that LLMs increase efficiency

Washing rice does not actually significantly remove contaminants

You can do that, or you can apply to five other positions in the same time.

Almost like giving every single person a 50 sqft hunk of metal (plus 25 sqft on either end) doesn't work in cities.

Noooo it's broken!

Well, I would have to buy a car first, but then I could siphon out the gas and sell it forever.

Germany did not change after WWII, Nazi higher ups got positions in West German government and as leaders in NATO.

See: "curiosity killed the cat", "blood is thicker than water" etc

Sometimes water isn't needed. When the heat isn't enough to boil lots of water, or when the plumbing would be too complicated for the application, it's possible to directly generate electricity directly from the heat. It's not as efficient, but it's useful in some cases. For example: low power, long lifespan spacecraft like New Horizons.

Harry, it's an inanimate fucking object.

But this way gives credit to Josh for the joke

My first calculus class was in 2018 or 2019 and before they taught us any of the derivative rules they showed us the first principles derivation, so the fact that they just skipped right to the shortcuts for you is wack. For us it was more of "this is how you find the equation for the slope of a line at any point. But guess what, here's some rules so you don't have to do this squeeze formula every time!"

That would be to calque!

A calque is when a term is translated word by word into a new language. And a loan word is when a word or words are directly taken as-is. In fact, this means that loanword (from German lehnwort) is a calque, while calque (from French) is a loanword :D
