I read somewhere that people in Asia won't tilt on things like eye or hair colour being different immediately since their so used to black hair/brown eyes that they just filter it out and use other cues.

This also means that people who look identical to say a European are considered to look nothing alike.

Because that worked out so well....

Less than 10 years after Sulla was dead the republic was run by bleeding Crassus and Pompey.

Sorry (ok maybe not) but Godot uses an internal script that resembles Python, with optional .net bindings.

The .net bindings are c# native.

You could use f#, but if you're still learning the ropes that's setting yourself up to fail, since it'll limit the use of documentation and add a high hurdle to clear

It takes less fuel to eject him out of the solar system. No need to be wasteful.

Just checked on google, it's slang for prostitution.

Honestly? With the benefit of hindsight, I'm actually pleased it wasn't given the chance to become a Dollhouse.

The movie gave closure, and we left the characters in a good place.

Dollhouse gave us 5 seasons of content in one, and ruined itself in season 2, and many other shows have just run until everyone was sick of them, before getting an anticlimactic ending anyway.

My bet is that in 2 years we'll see a stark devide in talent in traditional Vs remote first companies with the latter getting pick of the litter so to speak.

Clearly enough are that this problem is pervasive accross several police forces. It's clearly the case in the US, and we have a similar problem with the Police National in France (bizzarly, the Gendarmerie who performe policing outside the cities and are a part of the armed forces seem to have far less issues in this regard...)

Don't worry, it's business insider India, nothing to do with the reputable site.

And honestly I prefer the lemmy experience which has soo much less toxicity.

Yes and no.

The simple fact that you're not using IE6 on MSN with Bing search to access a Windows server is more or less proof that the constraints placed on Microsoft at that time did actually have an impact (even if I felt robbed that the company wasn't split up at the time).

Today the one thing Microsoft is still dominante in is Office software (and even then Google docs is snapping at their heals).

OS? Android is more popular than windows Server OS? Linux rules the roost Browser? Chrome

The company that really needs scrutiny ATM is Google.

The point is that they've established a relationship between o16 levels and temperature, so if you've got twice the o16 then say it was 25% warmer (made up ratio, I haven't read the study).

This doesn't tell us what the air temperature was, but it does tell us what it wasn't (IE upper and lower bounds).

When you have several of these proxies it helps narrow down the temperature range (think how your god works better when you have more satellites).

Now if you know that the last seven days are the hottest on record and you know from your proxies that you are outside of temperatures of the past 100k years then it's a pretty safe bet to state that we're at the hottest time in the past 100k years.

There is no melodrama or lying in this fact, unfortunately.
