Wow you're making some absolutely WILD assumptions about what the poster believes, and in generalizing it to the populous. You'd win Olympic gold in long-jumping-to-conclusions with the distance of that jump.

I mean, she'd be mid-30s to mid-40s, and in her 30s when this was written (2018).
But how does that mean she had menopause in her by age 37???

Edit:
Did you misread "first period" as "period", and think she meant she thought that menopause was the dog impregnating her???
She meant thought that she constantly bled, not a few days a month. It's a double whammy for the Ontario school system: what to expect from a period, and how impregnation works.

Oh for sure, my comment wasn't literal. No way does Biden have the presence of mind to make a slick response like that

Ah, a day well spent

Tbf some fields of study seem to be asking for it. I'm looking at you economics; when was the last time you produced a model that described the real world rather than produced a justification for economic policy?

I assumed this was in the context of paying recurring bills rather than shopping. Agree with you about stuff like groceries.

If you don't update firmware, people may use a security hole to snoop on you, so let us install this firmware update that lets us snoop on you

None: SEO is fucking everyone, and it's not something that search engines can control. If a search engine gets popular, websites will optimize for it.

And its always the websites that optimize the most that you're least likely to actually want

I really think you didn't read my full comment, because I explained the problem with this exact scenario.

First, in your hoolahoop example both sides of the hoop are moving with the same velocity (this is essentially option 3 I described). But the entire thought experiment is "what if the two sides didn't move with the same velocity"

If you've played the game, you know that you don't instantly teleport when you touch the portal, you can be half in the portal. This means that when something enters the portal, it is deposited on the surface of the other portal. So as your arm enters the portal, your hand needs to move out of the way to make space for your arm.

If your hand doesn't move out of the way to make room for your arm (it is still because it has the same momentum that it had when it entered) then your arm will materialize in the same space as your hand. Now scale that down to the atomic level, if the atoms of your fingertips don't move for the next atoms, everything will be deposited in a 1 atom thick film.

If your hand does move out of the way fast enough to make room for your arm, then it is moving at the same speed that the train was moving. Your momentum from that speed would fling you into the air.

In no scenario do you just pop out intact but motionless.

They could. But why wouldn't they just actually compress the video?

In digital/streaming video, there is no physical tape which produces grain, so there is no choice but to add it in post. But if you're serving up digital video, then you can simply just serve up an authentic compression/bitrate/resolution.

I suppose maybe players in the future won't support the codecs we use today?
