They did a video about alternatives to Adobe a while back. And while they generally liked and praised programs such as Affinity, they did conclude that as a company, even minor losses in productivity (e.g. for their editors) quickly add up.

So yeah, it would not be the first time they present and praise alternatives even of they don't end up using them.

Don't worry, we have that registry in Germany as well. And you have to pay to get your own data from them (although a GDPR request works once a year)

There was a specific number that was repeated across a lot of papers in my field, always citing the same source.

That source did have the number, but it cited another paper for it, which itself cited yet an older paper. Im not sure where the citations went bad, but that last paper for not actually contain the value everyone waschain-attributing to it.

The number was fortunately still correct though (and people would have noticed pretty quickly if it wasn't).

In other words, the question becomes: "Is an egg defined by the creature that laid it, or the creature that will hatch from it?"

One other thing here is that the sensitivity of the detection is actually decreased with repeat attempts. This is pretty standard.

The reasoning here is that people will check after the first failure. And if they then send the close request again, the car will try a bit harder. Maybe it's just some bit of oversized luggage that can be pushed down.

The Stormlight Archives feature a significant amount of battles, many of which are epic.

  • The return of Bridge 4.

  • The entire climax of Words of Radiance. The battle, the storm, the hero coming down ~~the mountain side~~ from the sky.

  • "You cannot have my pain"

Luffy starts out at 17, but is 19 after the time skip. The youngest is actually Chopper, who is 15 at the time he joins the crew. But he's an anthropomorphic reindeer, so he gets a pass.

What works really well is that the characters actually do look and act their age for the most part.

Should have been a short series instead, the worldbuilding had potential.

A simple (albeit inconvenient) way to improve safety in this case is to prohibit turning left and allowing for a U turn somewhat close by.

Season 3 is far from the finale that the show deserved, but it's well worth a watch.
