Yes.

There is a correlation between height and dick size, but it’s quite small. IIRC for every 20cm or so in height you get 1cm in dick on average, but it varies enough that it’s no certainty a tall guy has a larger dick.

Also fun fact: studies into penis size correlating with other factors can be broadly generalised into two categories: measured studies, which is where doctors will measure the penis when erect in a consistent manner, and self-reported studies, where people just tell a researcher how big it is.

Self-reported studies generally come back with results like “black people have larger dicks, Asians have shorter dicks” etc… But in measured studies, it turns out that worldwide penis size is basically all the same. It’s people self-reporting their own size + a correction for what they think they should have (nobody wants to be below average). In places with high porn consumption, penises tend to “be larger”, because that’s what men see and they want to have the same. Only in countries that tend to censor genitalia in porn do you find people actually self-report a size that’s essentially the same as their actual size (which usually happens to be Asian countries). That, plus the whole “BBC” genre in porn, essentially explains the self-reported racial differences in dick size.

Also fun: self-reported studies overestimate average dick size by approx. 2cm. Self-reported the average is about 15cm, but when actually measured it drops to about 13cm (which also happens to be 6 inches and just over 5 inches respectively; see the psychological effect there?).

“Demsoc” is just a shorthand for “democratic socialist”. Similar to how “ancap” is “anarcho-capitalist” and “nazbol” is “national-bolshevik”.

For those confused: it was the Dutch that placed the display panels about African American soldiers.

It was removed on orders of the Trump administration.

That’s not a Christmas celebration, and the Dutch authorities are actually pretty pissed about it, because the Americans had it removed.

I did feel like Ousterhout kind of undermined his own “comments go a long way in explaining code in longer functions” argument when his example code featured some incorrect comments, which is exactly what Martin warned about.

Honestly neither of them were really wrong anywhere, they just have a different approach. Sometimes I find Martins code split into too many functions, but halfway through there’s an example where Martins code is imo definitely clearer than Ousterhouts.

Both of their experience is valuable and is best shared, but not taken as gospel I think.

Israel under Rabin seemed intent to stick to the accords, but a far-right ultrazionist terror attack in Hebron and the subsequent assassination of Rabin by a right-wing Israeli extremist undermined it significantly as well.

No it’s about the 2014 World Cup.

This seems to suggest Russia would defeat NATO if the US wasn’t in it. That seems laughable given the size of the European militaries (which is an actual modern, capable military). Russia struggled against Ukraine’s initially outdated military. Poland alone could likely hold them off.

It also assumes Trump would actually want to invade all these countries, which also seems somewhat unlikely. Dude is completely enamored with winning a Nobel peace prize. At worst he’ll have the CIA attempt regime changes in South America, but that’s far from a full-scale war.

As the article addresses, inflation is down because demand has cratered, as people are simply significantly poorer than they were before. Demand for food is down, as people don’t have the money for food anymore, so prices must come down. Instead, people have to stand in breadlines to be fed.

This isn’t a good thing. It’s the worst way of addressing inflation, as it leads to sharp increases in severe poverty without addressing any of the actual causes of inflation. The Argentinian economy is becoming less productive and the added imports means more money is flowing out of the country instead of towards it.

Before, inflation was making Argentinians poor. Now it’s Milei making them poor. In the end, poverty is just getting worse.

They were transporting the only remaining copies of the Epstein list.

It’s literally happened to every single version of Windows, 10 and below.

This has literally happened repeatedly in the past. Just last year an exploit came to light affecting Windows XP that was so bad Microsoft had to release another security patch for it. WannaCry and NotPetya malwares used similarly severe exploits in 2017.

No they spoke Venezuelan, clearly.

Well, unless some exploit is discovered that doesn’t require user interaction. Then merely being connected puts your device at risk.

And given historical precedent, it’s going to be a matter of time until one is discovered.

I think you may be underestimating how much pensions cost on a yearly basis. In the Netherlands it totals over 50 billion euros each year, half of which is paid through labor taxes. I’m not sure we could easily squeeze that amount out of the 1% every year 🤔

Well it’s also the pension system that will become hard to financially sustain. Generally you want the population to at least kind of replace itself to avoid economic upheaval.

I used to just call my mom.

China is expanding offensive capabilities, specifically geared towards amphibious invasion. They also publicly state that they will “unify” with Taiwan.

Somehow I’m not as worried that Belgium is going to get any funny ideas when they buy a couple tanks. Gosh I wonder what the difference is…

IIRC there were also some trademark issues?
