Huh. TIL. I always wondered why libraries treat ebooks like physical books.

I was hitchhiking in Turkey with my now wife many years ago and we got picked up by a bunch of truckers. They passed our destination and kept going, pretending they don’t understand what we’re saying when we kept calling “stop.” Only when I pulled out my phone did they stop. Luckily they didn’t notice my phone was dead.
I’ve used every version of Windows between 3.11 and 10. I don’t remember ever noticing that either.

I believe the danger axis is about danger to the passengers, not others
Not likely a real person, or an edit that was reverted.
With the introduction of AJAX, web pages became apps. It was the advent of SPAs and SASS. Which enabled the things you saw as a consumer.
sounds like you’re contradicting yourself there
Where’s the contradiction?
not sure how that’s an “American” idea
That’s where I heard this perspective from. That you either believe in science or in God, not both. I guess it’s because of all the weird Christian denominations in the US that say crazy things and seem to have never actually read the bible, but use it to justify their anti-science ideas.
Yes, sometimes I see something that looks interesting and click to learn more. But I think more often than not I’ll just open an incognito window and search for it instead of clicking on the ad.
God’s existence, by definition, cannot be proven or disproven. That’s the nature of faith and free will (in the theological sense). And that’s why there are scientists who believe in God. This American idea that religion and science are opposites makes no sense.
Yes, that’s what I said. My native language is a romance language too. And after speaking it her whole life, my wife has trouble getting the grasp of how in English swapping two words completely changes the meaning of what she’s saying (especially when it’s two nouns, like e.g. “parent council”)
The thing is that in French, Spanish, etc. it still makes sense if you put the adjective before the noun, even if it might sound weird in some cases. An adjective is an adjective and a noun is a noun.
But English is positional. Where you put a word gives it its function. So “red car” and “car red” mean different things.

Doesn’t the layout get designed and approved in some DTP software where it looks perfectly fine because it’s all 2D?
In a 2018 review, data from 12 studies (8,003 participants) showed acupuncture was more effective than no treatment for back or neck pain, and data from 10 studies (1,963 participants) showed acupuncture was more effective than sham acupuncture. The pain-relieving effect of acupuncture was comparable to that of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
