Penguins spend 75% of their time in the water, so they're getting there soon.

But I did mention it! It's the Ethernet splitter. Apart from the terrible speed and sniffing paradise, 10Base2 was a nice solution; no hubs, a single daisy chained cable going around, and adding another computer only required one more splitter and laying a short cable from the last computer to the new one.
I'd gladly give it to you, but you'd have to come by to get it and have a coffee - I'm in Brazil ;-)

I was attacked with no warning too!; I decided to clean the drawer when for the 10th time when reaching inside, I had one of that cursed EPROM pins stabbing me under a fingernail!

This really happened to my sister and brother in law, on the first time they drove into Germany (pre-gps nav). She kept looking for this city on the map to find out where they were, as they saw the sign on the road.

But some countries in Europe are so tiny that if you don't focus on them, you won't see them.
You miss the road exit, and there goes a whole country, need to drive two countries ahead for a return.

In my house, it's usually the cat. She specifically choses to lay on the remotes, and since we started using Chromecast with Google TV and its sensible buttons remote, she'll pause/skip/switch app in the middle of movies too.

Reply to comment by King_XDDD in ELI5: How does ChatGPT work? by Zurbinjo
I can't refrain from not denying that it isn't not, because it maybe would or maybe would not directly break the subreddit rules. But I would say that I could not resist the irony. And if it saves me from being banned, I must say that I did type all the comment, and that 1/3 of the paragraphs are mine.

Reply to ELI5: How does ChatGPT work? by Zurbinjo
ChatGPT is a language model that uses deep learning to generate human-like text. It is trained on a large dataset of text and uses a variant of the transformer architecture called the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture. During training, the model learns patterns and relationships in the text data, allowing it to generate new text that is similar to the training data. When the model is used for generating text, it takes a prompt (a starting text) and generates a continuation of rhat text. The quality of the generated text depends on the quality of the training data and the complexity of the task.
In more eli5 terms:
ChatGPT is a computer program that can talk like a person. We teach it by showing it lots and lots of talking, like in books and on the internet. It learns how people talk and then it can talk like a person too. When you ask it something, it uses what it learned to try to say something that makes sense. It's like when you learn new words, you can use them to talk better.

I stood up to a bully much stronger than me. Almost lost an eye.
He got suspended though, during exams week. Lost a semester, and was beaten silly by his abusive father.

Reply to comment by Unethical_Orange in In a Nutri-Score analysis of plant-based analogues to animal products: meats and milks were most commonly graded equally (D and B, respectively), except plant-based poultry with a C. Plant-based yoghurt was generally graded better (B against C) but plant-based cheese score was lower (E against D). by Unethical_Orange
They mention the lack of protein in the fake dairy products several times. That's probably what they mean with specific food groups substitution not supporting equivalent diet. Then for the other groups that have about the same nutrition value, they do not support an improved diet.
In other words, they mean that plant based is worse or equivalent at most, which is what their data shows.
Why are you "wondering the reasons why"? Did you expect them to say it's "better" when the data doesn't support that?

Reply to eli5: How big a crack does water need to leak through and does the material of the container impact the size required? by p2molvaer
I've looked at some papers, and it seems that usually the material of the container doesn't directly affect the result, but the roughness of the crack "walls" does, as does the crack geometry.
The crack geometry includes lengh too (container wall thickness), and of course water pressure is also a factor.
So your answer is "it depends". It depends on more than just the crack size, but crack length, width, roughness, and water pressure.
here's one of the papers: https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML0708/ML070860286.pdf
