Only ~40% higher - make sure to use absolute units when taking a ratio of temperatures.

“Say hello to John Wilkes BOOM!”

A masterpiece

Doesn’t our current energy production add something like 5 orders of magnitude less than insolation? How many multiples of our current energy production before the effect is non-negligible?

This new version of the Tesla Virtual Power Plant actually compensates Powerwall owners $2 per kWh that they contribute to the grid during emergency load reduction events. Homeowners are expected to get between $10 and $60 per event.

English rock band best known for their single “Laid.”

Hope that clears it up.

Interesting - is there a point at which you’d switch to saying individual digits? Like if you’re listing eight digits of pi, is it still three point fourteen million, one hundred fifty-nine thousand, two hundred sixty-five?

Good explanation, but I think you’re reading too much into “I can tell when you shift to the left.” The teacher just means that when the student shifts to their left, their head isn’t covering the poster so the AI flags the second face.

This is officially my most unnecessary comment, but I already typed it so it’s going up.

Right? Plus they’re clean and well-lit.

I’ve spent some time in North Jutland too - I don’t think I saw a bus or train. It felt much more like home in terms of needing a car.

As an American who visited Copenhagen post-covid, the public transport is amazing.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to release a direct-to-streaming animated sequel/spin-off?

All of the examples relate to differences in pronunciation, so the guidance in the OP is good - use your personal pronunciation. I would imagine this would be harder for non-native speakers, but fortunately there aren’t many words (that I’m aware of) that are commonly pronounced with a leading vowel sound or leading consonant sound depending of dialect.

The only example cited in this thread that most people will experience is “herb” which has large populations that pronounce it with and without a silent “h.” “History” and related words are not commonly pronounced with a silent h outside of regional dialects.

English is definitely nuts, but can you give an example of where this particular rule doesn’t apply?

No, it’s cooler than that! All these vegetables are cultivars of the same species (Brassica oleracea). Citrus trees are different species with common origins.

Ah yes, the US Food, Drink, and Drug Administration (FDDA).

No offense intended, just poking fun.

It’s odd; in the old episodes, 5-4 includes ad bumps (e.g., “It feels like a good time to take a break”) but then immediately resumes the episode(“And we’re back”) without playing an ad. Maybe they switched advertising partners and didn’t bother to update old content?

I’m on the RSS feed (not Spotify, Apple, etc.) and was able to listen to most of the back catalog without ads. When I was catching up, ads weren’t playing in episodes older than about 1 year.

I had a similar ad experience with The Dollop, another good podcast.
