Article says the ceasefire was originally planned for 4 days, so they made the hunger strike coincide with the end of the ceasefire. But then the ceasefire was extended. But they went ahead with hunger strike anyway? Ok…

Is this news current? Isn’t the conflict in like day 3 of ceasefire? Are they still on hunger strike?

Here’s wiktionary:

Although sometimes used, normalcy is less common than normality in American English. It is very rarely used in the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It is frequent in India and Zimbabwe however.

So it’s a regional thing.

Although the claim that in US English the “normality” form is more common does not match my experience as a speaker of US English.

I did not recognize that form and assumed it was not a word. I stand corrected.

the word is “normalcy”

Do people not remember back in the 2010s when bit.ly was the main link shortener used everywhere on the internet, and then Ghadafi, the then dictator of Libya, declared the site to be incompatible with Muslin decency norms because it was used for porn? And then all bit.ly links were just dead links?

How many times do we have to learn this lesson? Domain name hacks are fun but just not worth it. And in 2023, now we have all the new TLDs. This was a dumb decision

but the encryption keys are not stored on the 1password cloud systems

1password user data is encrypted, right? so even if a hack had allowed a bad actor access to user pw databases, it’s not like they would’ve just scored everyone’s passwords… right?

So atoms don’t have color because some photons have wavelengths outside of the visible range? That’s irrelevant and in no way justifies the claim

Why is the answer no?

Atoms have emmission spectra. That’s color. Average them if you want an aggregate.

In my experience, local account is one of the alternatives

I’m not looking for a literal translation. I’m looking for the one that lets you create a local login without a Microsoft account. Login alternatives.

Zuckerberg owns %14 percent of the 2.5 billion shares of the trillion dollar company.

Yes, he could retire and live off a slice of the profit for the rest of his life. But that’s nothing. Anyone with a few tens of thousands of shares of a healthy company can do that. That massively understates the scope of his holdings.

Facebook could never turn a profit again. Revenue could fall off a cliff. And Zuck could borrow against the value of his assets to get paid handsomely for the rest of his life.

Heck he could shut down Meta and liquidate the company for pennies on the dollar and still have more money than most people see in 100 lifetimes.

I don’t get it.

It was a joke, but you appear not to have gotten it. Hence the wooosh sound.

Wooosh

US here. Never heard of swot, spod, or neek. So i definitely don’t think those are imports from here.

Isn’t “geek” originally a circus actor term? Like the strongman or bearded lady. The geek is the guy who bites the heads off birds and other gross stuff.

Did French circuses not include an act like that? What do they call him?

Of course even if they do have that act and there is a French word for it, that doesn’t mean that it evolved the same way in French to have the same anti-intellectual meaning
