We've already been there. -.-

I recommend translating the German version as it is much more detailed.
> "But far more important is the educational value that stems from the spiritual kinship between mathematics and the Third Reich. The fundamental disposition of both is the heroic. […] Both demand service: mathematics demands service to truth, integrity, and precision. […] Both are anti-materialistic. […] Both desire order and discipline; both combat chaos and arbitrariness."
Same for physics:

And must have tasted like highly concentrated rat piss. XD
Even taking more than a knife point renders a complete can undrinkable. Not to speak of 30 fucking grams.
I also had to immediately think of this case.

P. S. Some people do not seem to get it: It is the medium itself that is unsuitable for children in general and completely independent of the content.
taegee | 2 months ago | on: Floppy disks turn out to be the greatest TV remote for kids
The sentence that TV is generally bad for kids at that age is generally true independent of the content.
It's the medium itself.
taegee | 2 months ago | on: Floppy disks turn out to be the greatest TV remote for kids
Nice idea but at that age any screen content is fundamentally bad for your children.

That sounds like a dystopia.

Set your mother tongue to some esoteric language Google has not enough training data on. Then it defaults to the original language.

That doesn't sound right. The hyperactivity can express itself in many ways, as you say – not necessarily physically.
Is your practitioner maybe really old? They changed the definition in 1987.
According to DSM‑5‑TR and ICD-11, ADHD is subdivided into three presentations: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined.

Can we build an electric scooter with it?

Who needs a smart fridge anyway? It cools, and annoys as hell when you leave it open.

Same here. For me the biggest bummer with GrapheneOS is that the promised new back up system is still not even on the horizon and was promised a gazillion years ago.

If you have a bunch of coders, just scrape the data. Then turn your back on this greedy maw.
We recently moved to Mattermost for the same reason. Not looking back.
taegee | 7 months ago | on: Do not download the app, use the website
I hate having 300 apps on my phone (and I can't have them all on my home screen), but unfortunately, they're often much nicer to use than the corresponding websites.
They're much faster / snappier as they don't need to load everything.
Even if each click only takes a second to load or wait, it's annoying for many clicks. Then there are all kinds of usability issues, like the page reloading in the middle of a form or process when scrolling up was misinterpreted as a refresh.
However, I'm not talking about apps that just load a webpage.

Really nice! But you still need at least basic justification if you want to relate it to LaTeX. ;)

The login seems broken. I always get "Invalid credentials or account does not exist", even after password reset.
