Trump seems to be senile already (the dancing town hall meeting comes to mind), so I think it’s more the question when Vance will take over, not if he will try.

Maybe we should be happy it doesn’t happen, breaking down all plastics which are currently everywhere would probably result in massive CO2 emissions. That’s why I’m always sceptical when these kind of articles appear; it gives some people an excuse to say the overuse of plastics isn’t an issue.

I can’t find it in the article, but I assume this is the same as all the other plastic eating organisms; They can eat plastic under specific circumstances, but would rather not. What is in the article; they can only survive on polystyrene if it is mixed with other food and nutrients.

I got my first extra hour the day after I was born.

Edit: I was wrong, it turns out there was no DST in my country when I was born. So I definitely banked it.

Thank you!

Looking up the article the baseline is French and English I’d say. So it might be biased, but I didn’t read the article and even if I did, I’m a chemical engineer so what do I know of this field.

To be honest, as a Dutchman I think our current right-wing government parties will decide that their dislikes for “the environment” outweigh any economical advantages.

“The environment” is in qoutes because they’ve separated the word from the meaning, to them the inveronment is an abstract thing that “left” people talk about. Also, not actual left, just all the people who don’t agree with them.

Calorie restriction is not the same as not eating.

I’d rather not stop eating…

Depends on your definition, but most foods are healthier than not eating.

The reversed rule in plumbing is only for gas lines in the Netherlands.

Same here, except for my dad, he is clumsy as hell.

I don’t think I’ve ever owned any version of Windows.

As small as event horizon of 1 micron tiny to 1/10 the earth’s diameter tiny for this paper.

I used it for the first time last week on a hike. It worked, but not intuitively at all. I had downloaded a GPX file which I imported in Osmand, and before I got the navigation working I had inadvertly added two waypoints.

I read earlier “someone” were a couple of college students.

Thanks

The literal meaning was defined “to drink”. If you drink something, it becomes a part of you.

Same for overmogen in the Netherlands. And eergisteren for the day before yesterday.

How I’ve learned it is, that cognitive dissonance arises when one of your beliefs or behaviours is challenged by new information. This can make you uncomfortable, and to alleviate that, people have coping mechanisms. It’s probably these coping mechanisms which cause other people to say you suffer from cognitive dissonance. There’s a quite good Wikipedia article on this imo.
