Pluto's diameter is 2376.6±1.6 km, while Eris' diameter is 2326±12 km. Perhaps you're thinking of mass instead of size?

I think the "peanut" shape of the transit roundabout is not final. They're going to straighten the sides to make it more of a race-track shape. Having straight sides allows the busses to align themselves better with the curbs for passenger access. That rendering is a bit nonsense, its outright missing the 85th/114th intersection

>> To turn the chopsticks around when serving food so that the tips of the chopsticks that have touched one’s mouth do not touch the food.

> Ewww. I’d rather be rude than share germs.

I think this means you should use something other than your chopsticks to share food, and not just assume that "the back of my chopsticks are germ-free, I'll use that"

Its a cool technology. I had a friend working on using expansion microscopy for neuron connectomics research. Apparently the route the lab was taking was introducing mutations to mouse brains that would cause protein expression that would physically color individual neurons at random, then using an optical microscope to view and trace neurons through an expanded sample.

Not only is the delta chessbot bad (My low 1600s lichess-elo self can win handily every single time against any difficulty, white or black), but there's also a sequence of moves I found which deterministically causes the game to crash. I should probably record it next time I'm on a flight.

I would imagine that "okej" is more akin to English's "okay".
