What I love most is that Hannah Fry didn't get into the Cambridge undergraduate(?) math program (maths programme for you Brits) but became a math professor at Cambridge. Go Hannah!

It depends.

My indoor-outdoor cat only catches small animals if they run between her paws. But she did chase a rather large raccoon around the house once, as I did.

In my suburban neighborhood, we occasionally have coyotes. They are known to prey on fat cats (the feline kind).

My feeling is that predation by domesticated outdoor cats is overblown.

I also feel that small wild cats were likely native everywhere. Birds were probably not their primary prey; small reptiles and mammals, i.e. animals that don't fly, nest in trees, or live in flocks.

Huh? I'm a native English speaker and the sentence looks OK.

Advances have demonstrated... The NLLB part is an adjectival(sic) phrase that modifies the noun "Advances".

Hopefully I'm not wrong...

>Actually faking the existence of billions of people would require a global conspiracy orders of magnitude more complex than anything in human history.

No true. All that is required is for incentives to be roughly aligned for people to tend in a similar direction.

I've used Nova Launcher for years (don't know if I'm paid), but I'll be happy to pay for an ad free version.

I know there is a long history of companies buying another company for a product and then killing it after a period of time. I'm willing to give Instabridge the benefit of doubt... for a while. If they do decide that Nova Launcher is not a fit, I hope they open source it so that current users are not left on the lurch.

I am very happy with the software that powers my Hyundai Tuscon hybrid. (It's a massive system that runs the gas and electric engines, recharging, shifting gears, braking, object detection, and a host of information and entertainment systems.) After 2 years, 0 crashes and no observable errors. Of course, nothing is perfect: maps suck. The navigation is fine; it's the display that is at least 2 decades behind the times.

Why was this post flagged?

You get what you pay for, one way or another. I prefer to pay in cash rather than in eyeballs, so I use Kagi. No regrets.

Hmmm. What about the pencil shavings? Makes me wonder if the story is true.

The demofox.org page I see has blue text against a black background - unreadable. No other web page I can recall has this color combination.

I bought a Hyundai Tucson plugin hybrid after a Toyota dealer wanted $8000 over list for an equivalent RAV4.

Massachusetts is #20 in total tax burden by state in 2023.

Funny how people are willing to deny benefits to others while claiming different benefits for themselves. Me thinks you'd feel differently if, say, a fund were created to compensate people for consuming PFASs (which you undoubtedly have). Or, maybe not.

Regardless, I think it's important to be consistent: If you deny benefits to others, then don't accept them yourself.
