What even is the French equivalent of nachos? Google Translate suggests it's "nachos" which is apparently unacceptable. I thought perhaps "croustilles de tortilla" but if "nachos" isn't acceptable then I can't imagine "tortilla" is. Do you really have to call it "croustilles de pain plat au maïs avec fromage et poulet"?

This seems to be a smoking gun:

Researchers say the most convincing evidence came from measuring how the cell expanded during charging.

When a battery charges, ions move into the anode, causing it to expand. Graphite anodes have a unique expansion pattern because of changes in graphite’s layered structure. The Donut Lab cell showed this exact pattern.

This finding matters because sodium ions are too big to fit into graphite the way lithium ions do. According to investigators, the graphite expansion pattern clearly shows that lithium is the active ion in the battery.

According to this calculator I should be eating 53g protein per day.

I did the math recently and I think that in order to hit what the WHO considers the minimum safe protein for my weight, I would have to eat WAY more, like twice what I typically do.

This may be a vegan-specific problem.

There are quite a few of them for learning languages. For example, Learn Japanese RPG: Hiragana Forbidden Speech is a game focused on learning to read hiragana.

I can understand that. I'm 5'9" with an average build, and it's really convenient that everything is made in exactly my size. Being much taller or shorter would just be annoying.

I have one. I use it to play fighting games and old arcade ports, mostly. I like it because I learned to play those games on arcade hardware as a kid, so it has the right feel for me.

Perhaps she hit her head on the edge of the canal as she fell? Possibly her foot missed the edge and went into the canal, she fell forward, hit her face on the edge and fell into the water, was stunned, and started drowning before she could recover.

You're probably thinking of Life by You, which was being developed by Paradox and was canceled in 2024.

14-year old me was way cooler than I am. I seem to be declining with age.

Mmm. Lost 85% of the matter in the observable cosmos, Master Obi Wan has. How embarrassing! How embarrassing.

I suspect the claimed "99.98% accuracy" is counting out of all faces scanned, which is a bullshit way to make the tech look good. Most faces are not marked as shoplifters in the database. A system that literally does nothing would probably still have greater than 99% accuracy.

What we really want to know is what percentage of reported matches are accurate, and I bet it isn't anywhere near 99%.
