Usually when that happens there’s a way to tie it back to circles, but it’s not always easy to find

This screenshot is a little bit hard to see, but from what I can tell:

°RA is pointing at °R and °C
°C is pointing at K and °F
K is pointing at °R and at °F
°R is pointing at °F (and the other gun isn’t aimed at anyone in particular)
°F is pointing at K and at °C

Emphasis disproves your claims, sadly. Perhaps there was another way to label them to make it fit, but that’s not what was done here.

If using log scale, 0 is at -∞

Pedantry:

K and °R agree on 0
K and °C agree on the unit difference
°F and °R agree on the unit difference
°R and °Ra are the exact same thing (??)

From what I can gather, R and Ra are the same thing?

I don’t think any context is needed, it’s just about when you have an idea that you think is great and novel but it turns out it has already been done 30 years prior.

I know the Wikipedia link is relevant, but specifically the except seems totally disconnected to me from the post. It feels inorganic, to the point I almost doubt OP’s motives. Maybe I’m wrong.

Anyway I’m not trying to say any of it is untrue, just that it should be taken with a pinch of salt.

I hope I’m not gatekeeping, but if I’m gatekeeping anything it’s not ‘good news’, it’s what can be posted under a meme post. But as I said, I’m just trying to provide context, I guess it came out pretty gatekeepy so I’ll try to tone that down next time.

Not what I said at all

I do love me some specific unicode characters

That’s not really relevant to the post, is it? And that kind of praise on Wikipedia usually comes from the company editing its own Wikipedia page and being very picky about which data they cite.

They’re not cute like cats, so I guess no.

Hey I was gonna say that

To scrollers: this is a recent video by AlphaPhoenix where he captures slow-motion footage of dragonflies. Some amazing shots in there. Well, one at least.

The monitors in the picture are blinding compared to the leg.

Prescriptivist much?

Thanks.

The situation on the ground is actually not as bad as that. I think most of the jamming affects aircraft a lot worse than grounded devices. Still, in Haifa (city in the northern half of Israel) even on the ground you can almost never get a good signal of your actual position.

I don’t get it, and the world’s quickest and last comprehensive DDG search didn’t find an explanation either.

I wish books gave me a small map of every location so I don’t need to just guess what the author might have been imagining while writing, specifically because of this nonsense.

But eh, who am I kidding, I don’t read books anymore :/

I’m in the annoying position of actually being able to blame my GPS. Not my navigation app, the actual GPS signal. My incompetent government, as you might have heard on the news in the past year, has decided to provoke every other country in the region (and plenty more elsewhere) into a regional war. So now in “self defense” from guided missiles, they are constantly jamming GPS signals in my city and some other areas of the country. My GPS has been telling me for months that I’m in Beirut.

Somehow this precaution isn’t necessary in Tel Aviv though? Curious…

Serious question: how are male and female defined, and why does the sea horse that gets pregnant count as male and not female?
