Well, let's see...
Time in your local frame of reference slows down the closer you are to a gravitational force. This will give you the perception the rest of the universe is going much faster. However, you'd need a pretty strong gravitational force to notice any effect of it.
A black hole is one of the most powerful sources of gravity out there, but if you don't want to waste millions of years travelling to some far away celestial body, you can find an even stronger gravitational force much closer to home:
Your mum.
No. My genius is so vast it boggles my own mind. Sometimes it scares me.
Read books, read newspapers, chat on the land-line phone for hours.
Before the cliché of everyone being with their faces in smartphones there were clichés about husbands who do nothing but read newspapers all day, or teenage daughters that massively inflate the phone bill because she's talking with her friends for hours, or children with square eyes watching brain rotting cartoons all day.
You are very much missing the point for the sake of a pedantic argument.
Someone else already perfectly illustrated the point in a comment below, so I guess I'm spared the effort.
Welp... There goes physical media...
Scandinavia has always been very left side, so it comes to low surprise to me that the left won the European election in Denmark, despite the right trend in the rest of Europe.
However, I will add that right wing Europe is still pretty left from America. Take Geert Wilders, the new guy from the Netherlands. The policies he wants to enact are stricter laws, more difficulty for immigrants, a stronger police force, street curfews for teenagers (real old man yells at cloud energy), and withdrawal from the climate agreement. All very right wing.
But... He also wants better funding for hospitals and schools, higher wages for nurses and teachers, more robust free healthcare system, hard caps and regulations on the increasing housing prices, more affordable housing, a more efficient and cost effective energy grid. If an American politician starts talking about these things they'll be called a communist!
Yes I know nearly every country has elements like this. But in the US it's a bit more than just some elements.
I can see it in American advertisements, TV series, movies, political speeches, and a lot of rather loud opinions.
Well let's see... 9 USD is about 62 DKK.
Honestly... Not bad. That's about the same price as a sharawma box here in Copenhagen, maybe even a little cheaper, depending on the quality. If I want to buy a burger from a food cart, just a single burger at the street food place near the Nørrebro shopping center, that'd be 85 to 90 DKK, which is about 13 USD for a burger.
The Iranian food stand sells food for 120 DKK per portion, or 16 USD. Pizzas in the neighborhood are between 90 and 110 DKK. A single durum shawarma is about 70 DKK. You get the idea.
Depending on the quality of the spaghetti, I'd go grab some regularly. Compared to what I'm used to, that's a pretty decent price.
Of course, McDonald's and Burger King are cheaper, but... That's just trash. Some real trash.
At this point, is being American basically a religion? Such weird cult-like displays of patriotism...
Really? Because every time the weather in Finland goes about 10°C I hear my Finnish friends complain like it's the apocalypse. XD I'm just glad Denmark is having a decent summer this year.
Unfortunately, when America farts we're all forced to smell it. America wants Europeans to stay out of American business, buts that's rather difficult to do when that country demands to be the center of attention.
It's very difficult to avoid comparing right wing America to fascists when they have this much of a problem with Maus.
I had some plant based nuggets and they were horrible! They had all the flavour and texture of chewing a cardboard box.
So colour me skeptical.
Now wheeeeere have I seen this before.....? Hmmmmmmm...
Not everyone never leaves their house.
I have a 2nd generation XP Pen Artist 13. It's a great tablet and I've managed to make it work with my Steam Deck too.
But...
It's basically an external monitor with pressure sensitive surface, so still less portable than an actual stand alone table. So I'm wondering if there is a tablet with a pressure sensitive screen and battery free pen that either comes with Linux or can install Linux on.
The programs I use for making art are Krita, Gimp, and Blender 3D.
There are many other bee species that can sting Humans and survive, but the European honeybee has a barbed stinger, so it cannot remove the stinger once it's stung. In attempting to remove the stinger the bee will rupture its lower abdomen and then die.
Why? What is the evolutionary advantage to that?
I apologize if this video has already been posted here. I did a rudimentary look through the posts of the past few days and couldn't see it.
Recently discovered The Art of Noise by looking up Max Headroom. Found a bunch of tracks I like that fit well with my already existing Spotify playlists.
However, I want to find more music like three of the dance tracks on the album Dreaming. specifically like the tracks "Colour Red", "Colour Maroon", and "Colour White".
Any recommended tracks/albums/artists?
I want to get back into reading, so I'm thinking of getting a Paperwhite. But I have no idea if it's possible to transfer files to it from a computer, and I have no experience with pirating books.
Do I go to the same places I torrent movies and games or are there special places dedicated to E-Books?
EDIT: So many awesome answers on here! You guys have been very helpful. Thanks a lot!
