Voin kuvitella kuinka toimittaja on toimituksessa hykerrellyt kun on päässyt otsikkoa väsäämään. :)

Why the police and prosecution and not the jury? It’s their duty to determine guilt, isn’t it?

It’s interesting debate to observe from my perspective as my native tongue has no different pronunciations for letters, they are always the same regardless of their placement in words. G is always pronounced the same, and so is P. (Spoiler: it’s hard G and hard P).

This brought another thing in my mind about soft G. Let’s take for example Gin, which is with soft G I believe (it’s hard G here because there is only hard G). Then there is the acronym GT for Gin & Tonic. The question is, in English language countries, is the acronym pronounced jay-T instead of gee-T?

What really started the whole “fi-sci” (fiction-science) on Discovery was Mythbusters. I know many people don’t want to hear it as they loved the show, but it was often very unscientific, especially their methods and the hasty and often false conclusions they made from their scientifically invalid tests.

The first point is a non issue. If we just stop for a second and think about it, the calorie output of the animals has to be less than the calorie input. Otherwise they would generate energy out of thin air. The bigger thing is that they are also homeothermic animals, which means that majority of the input calories are used to regulate body heat and not to generate output calories (aka meat). From calorie persective, going through homeothermic animals is pure waste of energy.

Apotti oli yksi artikkelin esimerkkijärjestelmä. En olis sekunttiakaan yllättyny, jos sen ympäriltä paljastuu ihan hervoton korruptiohimmeli. Siitä on tullu jo aika erikoisia kommentteja.

Juuri tämä korruptio on se osa jota ei ihan kauheasti tuoda ilmi. Korruptio kun on melkein maan tapa mitä tulee julkisiin hankintoihin, mutta jostain syystä selkeästi huono valinta toimittajaksi tai jopa itse toteutukseksi tuodaan esiin digihankinnoissa, mutta ei muissa hankinnoissa.

Historiasta löytyy kyllä esimerkkejä surkeista analoogisista hankinnoista, joista kärsitään yhä. Esimerkkinä Helsingin metro, joka päätettiin jostain syystä kaivaa maapallon ytimen syvyyteen eikä siihen ns. katutason alle, mikä tekee laajentamisesta työlästä ja kallista. Ja kun selvitellään että miksi se syvämetro nyt sitten silloin taannoin valittiin, niin korruptiohan se sielläkin hääräsi.

Meh, where I live police are paid a little bit over the median wage, and they have to get a bachelor’s degree (~3 years) in law enforcement before they can work as a police.

Well, the Union of South Africa were participants in the war against Germany, so that’s still a bit weird. Don’t know about the affiliation of the magazine in question, but the support for joining the allies wasn’t clear cut, but only a narrow majority among the ruling white class.

I think it’s ironic this is posted here on Lemmy, which is what it is today mainly thanks to users of another service freaking out over how they will manage without their API access to bullshit aggregated content mixed with astroturfing.
