Ik wil geen andere app installeren. Ik heb er te veel.

Een webportal heeft geen applicatie nodig. Die kan op elk apparaat met een webbrowser werken. Dit geldt ook voor tablets. Mobiele telefoons zijn te klein voor lange berichten.

Met WA kun je ook apparaten zoals tablets verbinden aan je telefoonnummer.

Je kunt apparaten (tablets, andere telefoons) niet koppelen zoals je dat met WA kunt.

Signal heeft geen webportal, hoewel dat vroeger wel het geval was. WA heeft wel een webportal.

Het ontbreken van deze functies beperkt het nut van Signal voor mij.

 

It can also do time travel.

Take-away 1: Electric cars emit 20% more micro-plastics from tires than do ICE vehicles.

Take-away 2: Electric cars are not the solution to climate change. Whether it's a 2000lb ICE vehicle, or a 4000lb EV vehicle, it takes a lot of energy which has to come for somewhere, and a lot of material that will have to be mined, and then eventually disposed.

But is it strong enough to make a space elevator?

This is a conspiracy theory, not unlike the theories you will hear on the right. I've never heard anyone on the right equate soy with Asian or other cultures.

Nobody's head is going to explode. Most conservatives are well aware that soybeans are an American croup and are even proud of the fact. They just think that the soybeans should be served to cows.

Vilifying people you don't like is no way to establish understanding or communication.

This itself is a conspiracy theory. I've known a lot of right-wing people, and none of them made a connection between Soy and Asian cuisine. They don't like tofu, in particular, because they didn't grow up with it and see it as some weird, hippy thing.

Hi (Waving from left bubble) !

I agree. I don't think anyone is thinking that hard about the "Asian" roots of soybeans. And people on the left are just as hung up on their identity politics as people on the right.

There is a strong association between Tofu with hippy culture, even though there really isn't such a thing anymore. I guess if you don't want heart disease by the time you're 40, you must be a hippy.

No. Smoking is way more personally dangerous than alcohol, except for auto accidents. Tobacco hurts you in so many different ways -- with sagging skin, lung cancer, emphysema, heart disease, stained teeth, strokes, hypertension. Also, alcohol addicts only represent about 10% of the drinking public, whereas about 90% of smokers become chain-smoking addicts.

And, as I mentioned, smoking often kills people a decade short of retirement. Drinkers, on the other hand, often reach old age.

Not justifying alcohol, but there are so many downsides to smoking. But you can't explain that to an addict.

I have a folding bike that was originally meant to be part of a Marlsboro rewards program. Apparently smokers weren't all that interested in exercise. Who knew?

The U.S. basically has no plan for storage of nuclear waste. All but one of the "swimming pools" have been filled to the brim. Some sites are starting to move the waste into concrete vaults. Some have been seen leaking.

The first step is to figure out what happens to the waste.

 

So I thought Dutch had a word order similar to English, with the adjectives in front of the noun. But then I see sentences like this from NOS:

Mysterie knalgroen kanaal Venetië opgelost

So the adjective indicating that the canal is "Venetian", is coming after the noun, even though two other adjectives came first. Is this typical, and is it usually the location that comes after?

Thank you!

 

I have a sentence, used by a Dutch speaker/instructor:

Vandaag leer ik jullie hoe je vragen kan stellen

In the same sentence, we have the audience referred to as "jullie" and "je". Is this typical? I guess I would expect it to be consistent:

Vandaag leer ik jij hoe je vragen kan stellen

or

Vandaag leer ik jullie hoe jullie vragen kan stellen

Dank je wel !

 

Researchers at Virginia Tech have found a way to upcycle plastic into soap. Around 120 grams to 130 grams of plastic can make 100 grams of soap.

 

I checked the big lemmy list. Apparently lots of people want to learn Thai. But I didn't see a community like "learndutch". Learndutch is subreddit where people learning Dutch can ask questions about words, grammar, and phrases they're having trouble with.

Feddit.nl seems like the obvious place to host such a community.

Dank je wel!
