>then multiple that by 4 which equates $40 per month
You've got a wrong premise, leading to the difference you noticed. Apart from February, four weeks (28 days) do not equal one month (30/31 days).

Reply to ELI5: How do you make a computer “dumber?” by [deleted]
That highly depends on what task you want to "dumb down".
On your chess example, if the pc calculates all possible moves, let it calculate less moves.
If it compares the current game to other gamers played by pros, give it less games as comparison.

Given the show is broadcasted all around America at the same time, this is the most likely answer.

But hey, look at this wholesome social media post. It can't be that bad! /s
Meanwhile people work until they die and the Chinese government uses that same platform to control the narrative and hide their genocide on Uyghurs.
Panem et circenses.

Not how it works. Pressure comes from the top.
Think when you're diving. The deeper you go the higher the pressure, regardless of how much water is beneath you.

>But I don’t like your attitude.
Fair enough. I just don't like the attitude of humans thinking they're superior (be it animals or other humans) because I've seen the gruesome stuf they do based on that.

So we're clear that we humans choose the definition of superior?
'Cause a few comments earlier you demanded the science to proof that...

So you chose how to define superiority (in this case by intellect)?
Let me just quote myself here since it seems you didn't care to read my comment:
>so we make up definitions for superior that fit our view
Thanks for demonstrating my point though

Gay/lesbian are different groups of people facing different issues.

Reply to comment by VinylJitsu in eli5: What makes a product Non-GMO? by DecafWriter
>Bananas and grapes produce very few to no seeds at all.
Because we modified their genes with selective breeding. Unmodified banana.
>In other words, you have to buy seeds from Monstanto every time you re-plant.
That, too has also been done by selective breeding.
The point I obviously failed to make is that selective breeding and things like CRIPR aren't on different levels of modifications. Just other tools used.
That's why the debate about GMO, which afaik also considers selective breeding, isn't black and white but rather complicated.

Reply to comment by WilliamMinorsWords in ELI5: what are Pantone colours and how can they charge you for them? by jambo5600
Oh wow, I somehow missed that. Thanks.
That's bad. Adobe has been unchallenged for too long. A lot of stuff they've pulled off since CC would have had big parts of their userbase running off if there was a considerable alternative.
jensjoy t1_iufkcfx wrote
Sry that's not an explanation but what paywall did they put up?
Pantone only makes sense in print, on screen you can only get a close estimate of what the color will look like and rgb to pantone converters are all around.

We've evolved to function under constant stress with little sleep for survival reasons.
Imagine our ancestor resting after escaping a predator. If bad luck happened and another predator spotted them, those who could get up and mobilise enough energy for another escape survived.
But that only works for a while.
I hope your dad got enough rest between those shifts or it is likely to have taken a toll on him/his health.

Short and simple, it's a skill like any other you have to practise.
Even if english is your native language and you can read it, take a look at old english scriptures, even before Shakespeare and tell me if you can read it without practise.

Reply to comment by gismerav in eli5 Where does Bacteria come from? by gismerav

Coughed? Bacteria in the air. Sneezed? Bacteria in the air.
Standing near someone who splits a little while talking? Bacteria in the air and on your clothes. Sudden movement that shakes those bacteria from your clothes -> bacteria in the air.
Even if it's not in the air and you use sterilised gloves, as soon as you touch anything that isn't sterilised you have bacteria on your hands and transfer them to the steak when touching it.
And so on.

Reply to Eli5: How does military exercise or war game works? by Pure-Insurance430
I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly.
Do you want to know why training (for anything) works?
That's pretty easy. Simple example: Weapons.
Training how to use them means you can use them in a real battle/war.
That gives you a really good advantage compared to not being able to use a gun.
