About 728 students from the four universities have been reassigned to other school … the impact on private schools will be greater, considering the lack of students and the preference for public schools.
It’s 4 rather small private universities. Doesn’t seem like any great loss to me.
He’s possibly the only reoccurring black character, and yes it is very much a product of its time.
In defense of the authors the Gauls are all depicted with large bulbous noses, the Romans with Roman noses, etc; all cariceturs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caricature.
In the attached image you can see Obelix is also depicted as a “knuckle dragger” (at times). The character leading them is a Roman.
This second example shows the Vikings.
It’s an old joke updated for new technology … that’s part of what makes it clever.
It references the original joke (albeit in very small text)
The Asterix books frequently did something similar. https://cloud.wordpress.com/2022/02/17/asterix-and-the-historical-interpretation/
I think that’s a good idea, my solution is to mute group chats and check them when I’m free, but it’s not ideal for the reasons you’ve mentioned.
In whatsapp there’s only the option to mute the chat.
In discord there’s granular level of control that allows me to mute everything but direct notifications (@d00ery).
But if you implemented such a feature, how would you limit it?
i.e. one notification for the first message and then mute all replies for 5 mins? What happens when that one person who always replies an hour later messages?
Could we use AI to check if the conversation is still related to the original message?
From a dev perspective there’s all sorts of solutions but I wonder how would one find the sweet spot.
I know you’ve asked for uBlock Origin instructions but I couldn’t find the RegEx option for uBlock. However the concept should be the same: https://help.adblockplus.org/hc/en-us/articles/360062733293-How-to-write-filters#regexps
Is this soldier holding some sort of drone jammer?
Upon leaving the EU any laws that were in use were ‘enshrined’ into UK law. In order for the UK to remove EU laws we’d need to actively remove them through an act of parliament. (At least that’s my vague understanding…) https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eu-legislation-and-uk-law
I’m happy to keep the EU laws, it’ll save time when we rejoin.🇪🇺🇬🇧
I think the guilty party could only be more obvious if he’d fallen out of a window…
Better Call Phoong! Does she operate from a back office in a nail salon?
(My very limited research shows Nguyen is a Vietnamese name, whilst the lawyer, Phoong, is ethnically Chinese)
Perhaps there’s an argument against scientific hubris: if we look through history, and to this day, we can see those who champion rigid adherence to religion above all else as the cause of much suffering. On the other hand the latter half of the 10 Commandments provide a fairly sensible groundwork for law and order in society.
As for love, whilst we may not be able to measure it directly, we can certainly see evidence of it’s power; “I would do anything for love, I’d run right in to hell and back” Meatloaf. I’d also argue that the core human emotions can be explained by evolution, and compared with animal behaviour. In preparing for fight or flight fear can be measured in a raised heart rate, the release of chemicals, and electrical activity within the brain.
I think one of the cornerstones of science is that it is open to a theory being overturned as new evidence comes to light.
Duhem–Quine, or the "veil of perception”, well yes, we do have to make some assumptions somewhere, you assume that I know how to read and understand your words written in English, which I do and I’m sure a great many others do - perhaps we could use this as a baseline example of knowledge. We all know the word “stop” and it’s meaning in context though we might not all react to it in the same way.
Then again, it could all just be my imagination.
Are you suggesting there may be forces or powers we can’t yet measure?
Because that’s pretty much what science has been about for all of human evolution. We’ve observed events, and then tried to work out why they happen, and yet in all that time we’ve been unable to prove, or disprove god.
We can think practically about knowledge too.
I put my hand on a hot stove, it burns, I remove my hand and the burning stops. Isn’t that knowledge?
I have a hypothesis, I collect evidence, record the results and see if it supports the hypotheses.
The experiment is repetable.
Was the review specifically for the Quest 2 headset?
Edir: Nevermind, seems it’s a PCVR Exclusive Game so a review specifically for Quest 2 wouldn’t make much sense.
I struggled finding reviews of Asgard’s Wrath 1 on the Quest 2 headset. Google just assumes I want the newest game.
I believe this is different. We also have an Inheritance Tax which is a tax on a person’s estate when they die.
However this is the Royal Estate taking all of the inheritance for people who don’t have a will or any known relatives. Usually in this scenario it would instead go to the govt., thus, eventually, benefiting everyone and not just the Royal family.
Yeah, me too, it’s good to combine a sweet drink with some savory or salty snack.
You can just read the Economist article, or any number of other publications for balance. https://www.economist.com/the-americas/2023/09/07/meet-javier-milei-the-frontrunner-to-be-argentinas-next-president
A stroke is a restriction of oxygen to the brain, or what people do to cats.
I think it struck you.
Rich family exploits their workers… suprise, suprise. I wonder just how many others they’ve exploited.
Nasty scummy people who should be in prison.
