"Old technology" like, hammers, spoons and books 🤣 Let's get rid of the wheel. That crap was invented ages ago.

Update: and if you can't read a sun dial - which by the way is just reading the number the freaking shadow points at - the US should seriously consider teaching stuff like that again.

What is progression towards the equinoxes? You mean precession of the equinoxes? That takes millennia and is very much negligible when reading sun dials on a day to day basis, or even year to year basis.

The orbital motions of the objects in our solar system is pretty messy and you are right that there goes more into designing accurate sun dials than just a stick in the ground, but I'd still argue that that's not part of "reading a sun dial" - which was the question I answered.

Yes, vut with the supply being almost literally just a printer. Typically 2% inflation are intentionally targeted to prevent deflation (which is also not good).

I don't think it's cherry picking. Why would I trust a tool with way more complex logic, when it can't even prevent three crosses in a row? Writing pretty much any software that does more than render a few buttons typically requires a lot of planning and thinking and those models clearly don't have the capability to plan and think when they lose tic tac toe games.

They are Trump supporters. Not voting is also decision. You vote "I'm fine with whoever wins".

You should stop saying one person. That was never! true. Not for Putin, not Trump and also not Hitler. It takes a lot of people to see it the same way. If everybody would've been against Putins decisions he would have died the moment he proposed to anex the Krim. Putin is not Chuck Norris that walks over there and does everything himself and it's the same with Trump. A single lunatic is completely irrelevant to world politics. But a single lunatic that tells everybody how they think might be enough for others to join in or ride the same wave.

Linux is a kernel and not an operating system. My phone is runs Android, two of my root servers run debian bookworm, my living room media center runs Ubuntu, so I guess I have used Linux at least a little bit. But no distro I've seen (tried even more on some VMs) is really enough for me to suggest it to anybody that isn't a "computer-person".

Probably would have helped more to lower the bridge even more 🤣

Thank you for taking the time to read it and your feedback.

Your replies here come off as pretty condescending.

That was definitely never my intention but a lot of people here said something similar. I should probably work on my English (I'm not a native speaker) to phrase things more carefully.

You shouldn't just say "did you read the article" and then "it's in this section of the article"

It never crossed my mind this could be interpreted in a negative way. I tried to gauge if someone read it and still disagreed or if someone didn't read it and disagrees, because those situations are two different things, at least for me. The hint with the sections was also meant as a pointer because I know that most people won't read the entire thing but maybe have 5min on their hand to read the relevant section.

I'm not sure if you read the post yet but I also have a short section about alternative notations which are less ambiguous or never ambiguous. RPN has the same issue as most notations that are never ambiguous namely that it's hard to read - especially for big expressions.

Ooh now I get you, sry. True. But sadly you now know the truth and you have to be careful with the implicit multiplications on your tax forms from now on ;-)

The best analogy I've heard so far is that god is like water and trinity is a bit like the aggregate states liquid, solid, gas. They are the same (water) but liquid water is obviously different from ice and steam.
