Except for those flat-earth guys who started doing actual research with lasers and gyroscopes, proving that the earth really is round and rotating, too.

Fun fact, the Mandelbrot set is a 2-dimensional set (because it’s defined in the complex plane). However, its boundary line is a fractal, which can be understood as having a non-integer dimension (i.e., between 1, the topological dimension of a line, and 2, the dimension of a plane). There are multiple ways to define fractal dimensions such as the Hausdorff dimension. For example, the Sierpinski triangle has a Hausdorff dimension of 1.58. But the Mandelbrot set is special here, too, as it seems to have a Hausdorff dimension of 2, meaning that its boundary is so curly that it fills “a plane’s worth of space” despite its line-like topology.
Alright, that explains.
According to Wikipedia, the Neandertal (the valley) was named after 17th century priest and composer Joachim Neander. Where does the “new man” come in?
I am (unronically) convinced that this sentence did more to secure Biden’s presidency than the entire rest of the debate.
All about that sample size.
Mine actually drinks from his bowl just fine, which makes it even funnier that he goes for the sink puddles like it’s some gourmet shit.
I can appreciate a Jane Austen reference. Well done.
The district you’re referring to is called Eixample (literally “extension”), which is a planned district that was built as a large scale construction project in the 19th and 20th century to expand the city and make room for more/more modern apartments.

I swear I’m fun at parties.
Well-reasoned comment with adequate sources
Sir, this is the internet.
This is a good and nuanced take, thank you for taking the time to write it down. Piggybacking on this, if anyone wants to dive more deeply into the subject of psychological measurement, there’s an excellent book by Derek Briggs about this: Historical and Conceptual Foundations of Measurement in the Human Sciences: Credos & Controversies.
Which X are we talking about? PS? Xbox? Nintendo? Where am I?
He’s a shelter cat with some baggage, and the training is ongoing.
I think I already posted this at some point, but Software Disenchantment is always worth mentioning in this context.
The Brave Little Toaster is still giving me the feels decades later.
You know what, you’re absolutely correct. Enjoy!
