What’s the purpose of the plastic covers?

You’re right about the Nintendo stuff, but could you please not mention grandma’s playbox ever again in posts where the topic is about insinuating filthy vaginas.

Oh there are many wild ideas… I don’t know of any other pyramid shaped ones though.

For other shapes, I think The Line in Saudi Arabia is worth a mention, because it’s actually being built. Slave labour and other issues aside, it’s interesting that they attempt to follow through on such an insane plan.

This design project might interest you, but do notice that it is not currently possible.

There’s amusia, which is “tone-deafness”.

It’s one thing to not sing in tune or not remember a melody correctly, but there are people who can not even hear a difference between two melodies, even if they can tell other sounds apart. I would guess that’s somewhat similar, because I doubt these people have any chance in imagining what a melody sounds like.

we could control it if we took it seriously

I doubt that. It’s already too late. It’s literally everywhere.

GrayJay seems to work for that.

Literally unreadable.

Sleep doesn’t work like a health bar in a video game.

Different stages of sleep have different efficiencies. For instance, passing out drunk doesn’t count as sleep. You body is still active in digestion which can prevent a good sleep, or intoxication can prevent the brain from going into deep sleep.

Sleeping is an activity. Humans are just weird for closing both eyes and both sides of the brain at the same time, but it doesn’t mean that we shut down completely. Most animals do not sleep this way If we could experience partial sleeping like animals, we’d probably understand better what a good sleep is…

Then it’s pendulum art.

Wood lice perhaps, but you’d notice if you have a lot of them around.

I used to pack eggs on pallets. We’d throw a sheet of cardboard between every 10 layer to distribute weight. I don’t know the maximum height, because we only stacked them as high as the doorway allowed. About 3 meters from floor.

For a scooter… I suppose he’ll have to pick them up and carry them through a door eventually, which will set the height.

There’s a duty limit of $200 for a one day trip, unless they’ve changed it. Two day trips are $800.

Everything you buy over the limit should be declared and taxed. If you fail to declare something and get caught you’ll be fined for smugling.

It’s only de facto legal until something goes wrong. If a crash occurred and someone was speeding that’d be considered a contributing factor to the crash.

Even if speeding itself wasn’t illegal, there would need to be a definition of what reckless driving is, and speed in comparison to the road is a good measure of that, because it’s directly proportional to the lack of control of the vehicle.

Sure it’s just kids being kids. He was only 61 years old at the time.

YouGov is a poll that pays points pr. poll. These points can be used to buy actual products or gift cards worth real money. Lots of people click through them without reading the questions.

They sometimes add “click option 2 to verify that you’ve read the question”, but even then it’s likely that some percentages just click the right option by chance. On a short poll like this, they probably didn’t even do the check.

The European deposit protection is fixed at €100000 pr. customer instead of a percentage. They are not allowed to use customer savings for their own investment or loan outs. It’s handled completely separately…

Regardless of guarantee, the bank earns a lot more on loans than deposits, so their advisors will always try to push their loan products even when you have money in the bank. They want the customer to be in debt to them. That’s how banks earn money and always have.

The idea that a bank is some kind of piggy bank where they use customer deposits for investment is a bedside story. They loan money to loan out and then take a cut. It’s loans all the way. Banks have no interest in plain deposit accounts except for being a point of contact to the customer so they can sell loans.

Bank advicers usually don’t advice people to it either, because the bank doesn’t make any money on those accounts,.

I’m not really sure you actually want my browser history on this topic. Anyway, there’s very little research, besides comparing the types of milk.

Wikipedia is probably the most interesting to read, because it explains some reasoning of why it has been practiced historically. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human–animal_breastfeeding
