I just looked up the car crashes and it was 3 people to hospital as a direct result of the traffic, I got casualties mixed up with deaths. I'll edit my comment to say.

There's no exact figure on ambulances delayed, but given all the traffic it caused, but for heart attacks (all I could find good data on) the chances of surviving are halved in a 4 minute period (https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.120.017048), so factoring in all serious injuries there's a decent chance that at least one outcome was severely affected if not changed to death as a result of an ambulance being delayed.

Works on jerboa (& eternity), not your instance. The default web front end doesn't support it, and it's not in the specification, so it's good to have the bot

They're white light being separated into its wavelengths by passing though water, sounds like a rainbow to me

If you're a germaphobe then surely you should know that 100% salt is enough to yeet literally any microorganism to the back of beyond; in fact anything over 30% is

That lamp is more hygienic than your dinner plate, more than the inside of any food package and infinitely more than your hands even after you've just washed them

Who's suggesting that people are using if statements for arithmetic?

The only time that you can feasibly replace an if statement with arithmetic is if it's a boolean, but frankly that's an edge case... Also if you're not writing in rust or c or whatever then don't worry as the interpreter will run a huge amount of branches for every line of code (which is what all your nested ifs, switches, gotos, returns etc. will compile down to anyway)

Just because someone's making money off it doesn't mean it's not free (frankly it's a reason it should be)

*the karens queue so they can put their carryon, purse, 4 bags of duty free and washbag all separately in the overhead locker, only to be told by the cabin crew that everything but the carryon has to go under the seat in front of them when you arrive with your one carryon

Key being some words

Both have evolved, so it's unsurprising that if you pick and choose your words American English is more similar to 17c English

Iirc though the most similar are west country and a few accents from the southern states in the US, but they've evolved a lot too so they're not most similar in every way

I can't help but feel soap making itself wouldn't be as much use as why/when to use it?

Mixing oil with the ashy water (which is as simple as soap's gonna get) is reasonably easy to do and so useful that even without a civilisation people would probably be doing it either through discovery or by keeping doing it?

I think things like "how to build a wooden bridge so it will hold a laden cart and not fall down" are more likely to be lost without civilisation while still being incredibly useful (although I can't say I'd be very good for that)

I might add a section on refrigeration methods like zeers or wind towers/yakhchāls if the civilisation would be somewhere hot and dry, otherwise maybe something on using rivers for powering looms, mills etc.

Browsers can have different releases per default language, so just have the fr-fr distribution have the blockers and others not

I use spaces, but tabs use fewer characters, are easier to edit and allow for people to have custom indentation levels...
