There's a Sawbones episode on fluoride and its effects on teeth (and why it's good for you), if you like to be educated and entertained at the same time, I highly recommend listening to it! Great podcast.

And yes, fluoride is good for adult teeth, too.

Daring to suggest that MacOS is enjoyable to use is also something that will get a lot of people angry for no reason.

Not trying to be mean, but why not use fractions if you need to be more precise? If you need to express "halfway between 20°C and 21°C" you could just say 20.5°C.

Here, I'm not who you replied to, but you'll get my "uninteresting" fact anyway: The US customary units (at least most of them) are defined using the metric system.

Oh, fanfiction for me, too. My partner does know this about me though. I can't actually think of anything that they don't know about, hmm.

It's more like they're using the wrong sign for addition / using addition instead of subtraction to confuse you. The shepherds start with x sheep. They pay 30 and have x - 30. They should get 5 back, but they only get 3, so they have x - 30 + 3 = x - 27. If the sons had given them the last 2, they'd have x - 27 + 2 = x - 25 = x - 30 + 5.

If you want to view it from the trolls' side, you need only multiply everything with (-1).

I wholeheartedly agree, people use the term "AI" nowadays to refer to a very specific subcategory of DNNs (LLMs), but yeah, it used to refer to any more or less """smart""" algorithm performing.... Something on a set of input parameters. SVMs are AI, decision forests are AI, freaking kNN is AI, "artificial intelligence" is a loosely defined concept, any algorithm that aims to mimic human behaviour can be called AI and I'm getting a bit tired of hearing people say "AI" when they mean gpt-4 or stable diffusion.

Something that has happened to me is that I had set the network interface in qBit but the the interface that my VPN used had changed (disabled and enabled) and the interface in qBit didn't actually exist anymore. Kind of a niche issue, but yeah.

Have you heard of rabies?

This is ridiculous, but at least Barbie is getting a physical release. I'm actually very willing to pay for media... if I can access it offline and am not dependent on the good will of some large corporation.

(not OP) I'm curious, are you not able to "play back" songs in your head then, for example? This is such a foreign idea to me - sometimes there are melodies playing in my head without me even initiating it, in a way. I'm wondering if there are people this doesn't happen to.
