A cool guide on the density of different liquids
  • Our version only had 5 layers:

    • honey
    • milk
    • dish soap
    • water
    • vegetable oil

    The jar stayed out for a week before we finally cleaned it up and in that time only the dish soap and water mixed (which happened within the first hour)

  • Reference rule
  • It's not. If you're really into pop culture and you frequently make such references then someone who is not will have a hard time communicating with you.

    It's not about internet culture being bad, it's about the communication gap between people with very different cultural references.

  • Reference rule
  • On one had, responding like that is definitely a sign that it's not going to work. On the other hand, that's a perfectly normal feeling for a person who doesn't live their life on the internet.

  • Google AI making up recalls that didn’t happen
  • It's not lying or hallucinating. It's describing exactly what it found in search results. There's an web page with that title from that date. Now the problem is that the web page is pinterest and the title is the result of aggressive SEO. These types of SEO practices are what made Google largely useless for the past several years and an AI that is based on these useless results will be just as useless.

  • Glad I was too dumb to finish college...
  • sounds like you're contradicting yourself there

    Where's the contradiction?

    not sure how that's an "American" idea

    That's where I heard this perspective from. That you either believe in science or in God, not both. I guess it's because of all the weird Christian denominations in the US that say crazy things and seem to have never actually read the bible, but use it to justify their anti-science ideas.

  • Have you ever clicked on an ad *on purpose?*
  • Yes, sometimes I see something that looks interesting and click to learn more. But I think more often than not I'll just open an incognito window and search for it instead of clicking on the ad.

  • Glad I was too dumb to finish college...
  • God's existence, by definition, cannot be proven or disproven. That's the nature of faith and free will (in the theological sense). And that's why there are scientists who believe in God. This American idea that religion and science are opposites makes no sense.

  • Bonus points if you're wearing a lounging robe
  • it doesn't just have to be grape wine either

    People in my country make hard spirits out of various fruits, but mostly plums, and in English those are being translated as fruit brandy.

    Although if you want to make cognac (a type of brandy), it has to be grape wine.

    Cognac, like Champagne, is about where it's made, not just the recipe. I has to be made out of specific varieties of grapes harvested and fermented in the Cognac area in France. You can import the same grapes and follow the same recipe, but you're not allowed to name it Cognac if you made it outside that area.

  • new preference war just dropped
  • Yes, that's what I said. My native language is a romance language too. And after speaking it her whole life, my wife has trouble getting the grasp of how in English swapping two words completely changes the meaning of what she's saying (especially when it's two nouns, like e.g. "parent council")

  • new preference war just dropped
  • The thing is that in French, Spanish, etc. it still makes sense if you put the adjective before the noun, even if it might sound weird in some cases. An adjective is an adjective and a noun is a noun.

    But English is positional. Where you put a word gives it its function. So "red car" and "car red" mean different things.

  • Mother Gaia and Humans
  • They're both part of the Hexanchiformes order, which are seven gill sharks. So the cow shark article is wrong, there are two surviving families with more than five gills.

  • Mother Gaia and Humans
  • Except for these species, classified as living fossils:

    How would I go about removing this sink and vanity?

    How are these usually attached to the wall? Can I just pry them off or would that damage the drywall?

    And follow up questions: how can I reproduce that texture when painting the newly exposed areas of the wall?
