I try to contribute to things getting better, sometimes through polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with your comment ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to refine the arguments that make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

Cue conspiracy on a CIA plan that took 50 years to yield results.
Marginalia is general term for whatever was drawn in the margins, I think a more precise term is drollery, from French drôle which means funny. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drollery
The Moulin Rouge version of Holiday on Ice.
It’s both, you need both.
USB charger ?
I want more of you.
He’s worried you’re not respecting the GDPuRr.
6·4 days agoThat’s a much smoother way to become a criminal than by committing an actual crime, kinda convenient.
You could try reading Feynman’s lectures, he was a very passionate teacher, and he used intuition a lot, so you don’t need to grind on equations to follow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Feynman_Lectures_on_Physics
In this case, it was probably the teacher not being knowledgeable enough to explain a more advance theory that goes beyond the simple model he was teaching. What’s sad is that the teacher didn’t take the opportunity to dig deeper with the student, it could have been very motivating for the student to feel like he found something that went beyond the normal curriculum.
The lady at the bottom left is waiting for it, and she’s a horse girl, it will not pass.
1·6 days agoThe french flag is a bit surprising given it’s not made in France
It’s because the origin is French, it’s like having an Italian flag on pasta.
it’s flattering since that means Japanese like french stuff
That’s the least you could say, French references are everywhere in Tokyo, food, fashion, building names; it is associated with fanciness.
3.76€. In general food is much cheaper than in France, except for imported PDO (AOP) food and some common French fruits that are sold as luxury here. For example Comté is 5€30 for 100g, melon can be 30€ for one.
Shouldn’t the freedoms of women and education of men have evolved in 2000 years?
Promontory reminds me that as a French, when speaking English, I sometimes use literary French terms with an English accent as an elite facade for amusement because I sense that it probably exists in literary English (afaik literary words are more likely to be similar than common ones, dating from when they learned what cuisine is). It works better when nobody’s a native Anglophone in the chamber so people just think they don’t know this chic word when I’m just mistaken. Although, there is a risqué risk of false friend that may turn it into a ridicule faux-pas by ricochet.
How comes it’s possible for a bird or a fish, but not a human? If this article explains why, it is a bit obscure for non specialists.
Too obvious. More like, “We’re going to use slightly less lubricated ball bearings, position the aircraft on the market just where they will buy it, the maintenance specificity will not be documented, and it should kill a couple of important people in 50 years!”.
