I don't accept your answer. I know deep in my heart that it's 4.

That example sentence would function exactly the same if it was separated by a period; nothing is gained by using a semicolon. No new information is added; you are just going to make people wonder why there is a semicolon there making the sentence less comprehensible.

FTFY. You aren't supposed to separate two independent clauses with a comma.

How come clay isn't 100% clay?

You are completely right, and the Open Science movement is catching on. The idea is to give everyone access to the (anonymised) data and use only tools that are freely accessible, even to scientists from developing countries without Microsoft licenses, so that they too can rerun your analyses and verify your results. You shouldn't be getting downvoted.

Seriously living in the worst timeline.

It really doesn't get any worse than people downvoting our posts or saying they don't agree with us when we post things on the Internet for other people to read. So much bullying! I say we should go back to the good old times when people who felt insulted, whether the insult was real or imagined, would challenge you for a duel at sunset in front of the saloon.

If you own a name, you can grant anyone you want permission to use that name. It's not illegal.

What separates us from the reptiles is that we can get our body temperature UP by burning calories. If you run hot, you can only passively cool down by sweating lots or walking around naked, I guess. If you aren't sweating lots, you aren't losing significant excess heat. But the actual point of the OP is that many people who are even only 40 lb overweight already eat in excess of 150 kcal, never mind 50. If this is how ketosis works, they wouldn't run super hot, but they would also never get to a normal weight. Also, you can achieve the same effect by exercising or even just drinking cold water. Think about how many people got thin by doing this.

BTW, when you drink tea etc, your body reduces heat production to compensate.

Which is bullshit because they are not running a fever, which would be extremely unhealthy anyway.

If this was true, your body temperature would just sky rocket.

Why is Arch with i3wm the only alternative to Windows? There are many other distros and desktop environments.

Which is funny because the original comment doesn't mention Linux or Arch at all.

Not sure about this. When I installed Firefox, it asked me if I allowed it to collect data and run studies (I answered yes). Also, as far as I remember, I never changed the Marketing Data setting and it was off.

 

I don't know why I decided to browse a popular sub today, r/books (logged out, I don't have an account anymore). Maybe I hoped I might learn something. As if! People make the absolute same posts over and over. Today I read a book! I read one page of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and I already know it's a masterpiece and the best book ever. I read 1984 and wow, just wow. I hate stickers in book covers. Audiobooks good. Actually audiobooks bad. I hate movie covers. The absolute same thing as yesterday, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years ago. May I remember this feeling next time I decide to browse Reddit again.

Why do old users put up with this? How can they even pretend that they haven't already read this stuff a million times before? Or are these subs 100% driven by new users and repost bots? The complete lack of new content is mind boggling.
