32 + 4 = 36

34 + 2 = 36

Am I missing something? Barring some extremely stupid math error, I don't see how I'm incorrect

Most of the bras that my girlfriend gets fits on her first try, although she does tend to prefer sister sizes over her real size. If your girlfriend is having issues with bras fitting, it might be worthwhile to read up on how bra sizes are actually calculated and do a measurement yourself. Funny enough, most girls don't seem to know how the bra size system works either and they just get their sizes through trial and error, which seems like what has happened here.

The letter by itself is fundamentally meaningless. A 32D is equivalent to a 34B! And most girls severely underestimate their actual size. What would colloquially be called a B or C is actually an E

I agree with you generally, but I strongly disagree that we today cannot understand the perspective of the time. We (Americans) just elected Imperial Supreme God Emperor Trump based on the same fascist ideas that drove people to Hitler back then

I practically don't read for fun. Not that I dislike reading, but it's generally rare to find books that interest me, and I simply don't have time to look for interesting books. Last I found an interesting book, I breezed through it in a couple days.

Anyways, most of my reading happens through academia, reading scientific papers and such. There's a lot of interesting scientific research going on that flies under the radar because it's not clickbaity enough for popsci websites to pick up on it. I have a feed set up on Pubmed to send me emails every day on new papers from different topics. Every day or two I glance through them and it there's something that catches my eye, I'll read it more thoroughly.

I wouldn't generally encourage people to read scientific papers, since they're really quite dense and requires a lot of practice to get good at reading, but it's an easy way to read something while being productive. And I've become increasingly convinced over time that the general population needs at least some experience with scientific literature, given how much of the science gets twisted in the game of Science Communication Telephone

That's a misinterpretation of the poem. The point was that both paths were equally valid but no matter what he picked, he would always think that the other was better. It was a poem about "the grass is always greener on the other side"

Pretty sure that's the point. It's bait

The two types of mentalities on display:

1. I'll eat too much so I shouldn't buy any
2. I'll eat too much so I should buy more

So you react to both red light and blue light, but you react to blue light way better than to red. So blue light filters still checks out, but they're more of a mitigation than a fix

The biggest difficulty with answering this question I think is that I don't know how broad the categories should be. Do you have an estimate of how many categories you're looking for?

Thanks for the details! I forgot some of the details since I last took a course in linguistics like almost 10 years ago

Asterisk means that the word has been reverse engineered without any direct evidence backing it up. All proto languages will have asterisks in front of all their words because proto languages are, by definition, languages that were used before anything was written down.

The reverse engineered word is likely to be correct (or at least, as correct as we can be), but in the absence of direct evidence, it's still just guesswork

The numbers you're talking about are because we know that there are different consonants used, but we don't entirely know what sounds those consonants are. So we just write all of the consonants that likely sounded somewhat like the letter h as h1, h2, h3, etc., and repeat for the other uncertain consonants.

So basically h1 definitely sounds different than h2, but as for exactly what they sound like, all we know is that both of them are kinda like h

My partner recently shared a video/clip about the differences between the way girls do makeup to attract guys vs the way girls do makeup to attract girls. What your comment reads like to me is that she put on the light makeup because she figured you would like that, but now, she's figured that there's no need to attract you with her makeup anymore
