To be clear, they’re saying that repealing the ban is lacking evidence to support the decision. It’s just worded very poorly, but the article makes it clear:

“Repealing the legislation flies in the face of robust research evidence; it ignores measures strongly supported by Māori leaders and it will preserve health inequities,” co-director professor Janet Hoek of Otago University’s Aspire Aotearoa Research Centre said.

The real answer is that it’s trained on Internet data. And if you search the same question on Google, you’ll get tons and tons of pages listing those same exact types of things.

No, whales are being driven crazy by things like massive container ships and oil drilling rigs. Somehow he got the symptoms correct but flipped around the cause. The question is, is he being an idiot or intentionally malicious?

I mean, they never claimed it was to protect users. It was to protect their user’s data from being used without paying Reddit. They didn’t like that AI companies were using Reddit content as a free source of training data, they never gave a shit about their users’ privacy.

Btw, Toby Fox had no formal education in music theory/composition when he composed the soundtrack. He pretty much just winged the whole thing, experimenting with sounds until he found something that sounded good.

Napoleon tried to do decimal/metric time (10 hours a day, 100 seconds a minute, etc), but it didn’t catch on. Probably because both 24 and 60 are “highly composite numbers”, which means they’re divisible more ways than any numbers smaller than them. 10 isn’t divisible by 3 or 4 or 6, which makes it less useful in certain situations. Also, “megaseconds” and “gigaseconds” are way too big to be useful measures of time on human scales.

I wouldn’t expect much sound, water is very dense so only very low frequencies can effectively travel through it. From the pictures, this thing doesn’t seem big enough to make much of an impact in that regard. As for marine life, it would probably be a matter of how fast it travels underwater, which the article unfortunately doesn’t mention.

What we REALLY need to do is limit the concentration of nicotine in vape juices to no higher than that found in a “standard” cigarette. Part of the problem right now is that you can easily buy vape juice with waaaay more nicotine per puff than any tobacco product so it’s much easier to get addicted.

Funny. That sounds exactly like how they tried to use “intelligence tests” to prevent Black people from voting. The questions didn’t explicitly exclude Black people, but we’re written in a vague and subjective way so that the test-giver could claim that any answer was right/wrong and thereby exclude anyone they wanted.

You failed to include a very relevant part of information in your post: your own gender. I don’t know if you omitted it on purpose, or out of obliviousness, but going on the assumption that you’re a man due to your language towards women:

Did it not occur to you that a male patient could actually be acting more aggressively towards your female coworkers? That he would be less cooperative towards those “damn nagging women” than towards a man? And that the standards of what makes a male patient scary could be completely different from the perspective of a woman?

Men experience the world very differently from women, particularly when it comes to social interactions. Just because YOU haven’t had too much of a problem with this patient doesn’t mean that your female coworkers have experienced the same thing.

Pretty much every smaller Android manufacturer only gives two years of updates. Google and Samsung are the biggest two, and it’s great that they’re giving longer support, but if you want to try another manufacturer (Asus, for example), you’re getting two years.

Look, I dislike Apple’s walled-garden as much as the next guy, but let’s give credit where it’s due. Apple has been phenomenal at supporting its older devices, much longer than most Android manufacturers. The iPhone 7 only recently stopped getting updates, and it was from 2016. The standard for Androids is still 2 years, so when it comes to long term device support, the point undeniably goes to Apple.

“it’s bad because I said so. No I don’t have to back my argument up.”

Having a hard time articulating any sort of argument, huh? Need a dictionary to teach you some more words? Or maybe an English class to teach you how to form a coherent, complete sentence?

If you read the article, it says he arrived last May.

Anker’s peripherals have always worked great for me

He had a thing for cows. Look up “Ubre Blanca”

How would that affect battery life? The battery would charge a little slower since some power is being used by the screen, but the slower charging would actually improve battery life slightly.

Uhh, I think you’re misinterpreting what the OP said. In the body of the post is literally “screw Fox News, let people celebrate what they want” which is the opposite of “war on Christmas”.

That actually sounds like a pretty cool job! I only said something because unfortunately a lot of people tend to use that fact to put down reusable bags, which sucks because even though they’re far from perfect, they’re still the better alternative (assuming you don’t buy a new one every time you go to the store).
