Both can be true.

And then NY and SF are 5th and 6th with 36%… Did AI write this?

I was smoking at 12 in France in 1999, I told tobacconists I was buying them for my mom. Pulled the same thing off in the states when I moved there 2 years later. And I was far from alone. These are far more recent (terrible, obviously) habits than you might think.

We think that of all morons in positions of power, because it’s difficult to fathom how they got there otherwise. Despite all the proof to the contrary, we continue to think meritocracy is a thing. The prosperity gospel is one of the more overt expressions of that belief: if you’re rich, it’s obviously because you’re just the best, smartest little cookie and you deserve it all. What other reasons could there possibly be?

The inability to use words to say stupid shit does confer a certain air of wisdom, however.

I mostly agree with you, but “eh, who cares?” isn’t the moral high ground you’re trying to portray it as. I guess good for you for not raising your blood pressure over this stuff, but there are genuine reasons for criticizing the capitalist consumerism these minor celebrities push on their followers. Even if mkbhd’s product in this case is virtual, it’s part of a culture of unsustainable overconsumption and wealth hoarding. It’s fine for you not to care, but that’s not a more enlightened position, it’s just apathy.

Someone who goes to casinos would come to the same conclusion, thinking that the surgeon is ‘running hot’.

Arabic, Arabian would refer to the geographic region of the Arabian peninsula. The dialects are on a spectrum, neighboring countries might understand each other reasonably well, but not countries further apart. Syrian, Lebanese and Palestinian share a lot of features, same goes for gulf countries, Egyptian is pretty distinct but well known outside the country due to its output of movies, music and tv series, Algerian and Tunisian are pretty similar, Moroccan’s kind of its own thing, Maghrebi dialects also include a lot of vocabulary from Berber languages, which won’t be understood in other regions. Finally, in most countries, local dialects are not taught in school but rather Fusha, or modern standard Arabic, which is the language you’ll hear on the news or read in the papers, and is common to the entire Arabic-speaking world. People don’t speak it day to day but usually understand it well and can communicate in a mix of that and their dialects if they’re speaking to someone from another Arabic-speaking country.

Came here with the same question

CNews, qui a été la première chaîne d’info de France le mois dernier pour la première fois

Eeeeeeeeh bah…

To be fair the supposed point of the snap elections is to make the far right seem impotent by forcing them into a divided government (which is already a terrifying “strategy”: just give them the keys to the building and hope for the best?) They’re just refusing to play that game. The fact that the president is playing around with the country’s future like this is a fucking unconscionable disgrace.

No, you must always throw the other half away.

You’ve got the right idea though, PCR is usually necessary before electrophoresis in order to amplify the sample being tested so that it will give a legible result.

I think probably all people dismiss what is obvious to them as not needing to be said, and for good reason: why overburden a conversation with obvious truths. Though given that we’re all just apes with a superiority complex, we’re probably entirely wrong about what’s obvious or true 🙈
