I mean I’m no expert either but you can see this characteristic burning on most ICBM videos, it’s just the reentry vehicle reaching insane temperatures.

E.g.: https://youtu.be/3ZM3y5qpMgY

I think the difference in speed in the video is just perspective + distance, plust Iran has many different types of balistic missiles. I mean, technically speaking many balistic missiles do go at hypersonic speeds, but that’s not what people mean when they say hypersonic missile, they refer to missiles that fly very low at hypersonic speed and can maneuver before hitting their target. You can clearly see the balistic trajectory of these missiles.

I doubt Iran has any real hypersonic missiles, these are probably just balistic missiles.

What do you consider stock Android? If Linus’ video on the topic is anything to go by, stock Android is basically unusable. I’m guessing you mean that manufacturer custom versions have gotten better and more consistent over time?

I didn’t know those mini dishwashers existed, really cool.

I’ve literally never seen of heard of a dishwasher that has this, what model do you have?

Why is the video so dark? I thought my phone’s brightness settings were off.

My guess is that it’s probably because holding off keeps it in the media longer. If it’s scarce you’ll get 50 different articles talking about how shelves are empty of X console, and a much bigger problem is if you accidentally overbuild, and you realise the demand isn’t actually there. Though on the other hand, standard marketing would imply that you want as little friction as possible between the customer and buying your product, so I’m not sure.

That’s, like, literally the whole point of these kinds of communities, to share your thoughts and experiences.

Yeah but I’m surprised someone would know this if they’re not from the region, and also why would that make them put it in the same group as e.g. Polish. Plus I feel like it’s as different from Serbo-Croatian as Macedonian is, so why not single them out as well. I mean I know I’m nitpicking and this is just a funny map, but I’m still very intrigued at why someone decided to randomly do that.

Ok I’m very interested in how the person who made the map decided the colours, as in why was Slovenia explicitly singled out from the south Slavic countries?

Ok that’s really cool. It looks like it’s really new? Like 3 months old?

Yeah you’d draw it on a vertical whiteboard, but in physics and math (or at least all the classes I had), you’d always draw a coordinate system with Z going up. I can understand why it would make sense for you to look at XY being a vertical plane, but I feel like it just makes more sense for XY to be the ground.

Also, convenience wise, especially in e.g. game dev, for 90% of use cases it’s way more convenient for the first two coordinates to be the ground position and the last coordinate be the height. Whenever you’re thinking of the coordinates of something, you’d probably first think about its ground position and then its height, in which case it’s much simpler if those ground coords are at the start, instead of at the beginning and end of a vector.

His point is that’s where it comes from. In most 3D software as seen in the chart, the XY plane is paralel to the screen, just that Y is up instead of down like in 2D, cut that would be insane if it was like that.

I highly doubt it’s anything. They’re selfish egotistical people out for their own gains. Elon never cared for Trump or the Republicans, just about what made him the most money. Now he’s buthurt and lashing out.

If you’re working on a large project/product then sure, but VS Code is just so damn good, it’s so much fucking faster than IntelliJ, has so many more options and is typically just more intuitive to me. Whenever I can I typically use it.

Water Zero

I mean, that really wasn’t a “meltdown” but sure.

Ok but that’s kinda shifting goalposts. My point was that the vast majority of Europe doesn’t artificially add fluoride into water, probably not without reason. Even then, just 3% of French people receive naturally fluoridated water, for Germany its < 1%, Italy also by the sound of the article probably <1%, Spain is 10%. It doesn’t give information about natural fluoridation levels in Croatia but it’s probably at the same levels and I can attest to the fact we don’t have a cavity epidemic.

Interestingly it also notes this in the article:

In the GDR (East Germany) in the late 1980s, about 3.4 million people (20%) were receiving water with added fluoride… A fluoride cessation study found that consistent with a previously observed population-wide phenomenon that the rate of cavities continued to drop after the fluoride concentration in water fell from the augmented 1.0 ppm to its natural level below 0.2 ppm. Water fluoridation was discontinued after the German reunification although still exists on some US military bases.

My point is that I think it doesn’t really matter whether you fluoridate water or not and that it’s fine to be skeptical of it when the benefits in today’s day and age are minor and there might be potential drawbacks.

Africa, the Middle East, and Russia

And, like, about 98% of the population of Europe…

I hate most of what Trump and his cronies do, but from what I’ve seen fluoridating water has meager benefits in today’s day and age with fluoridated toothpaste, whilst potentially having side-effects according to a few newer studies. Personally, it’s whatever in my opinion, I’d wait for more conclusive studies that prove whether it’s worth it or not, but I also don’t think it’s a big deal if it’s stopped.
