thanks! I'm no mathematician and won't pretend to understand what's going on there, but I've stumbled across some "This knowledge is too much for a human brain to hold and therefore I have gone mad" tropes (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoMadFromTheRevelation) that I was always wondering if there are actual IRL examples of this

where could I read more about this paradox?

yo, do you blog? I would read your blog/diary/novel. You have a very calm(ing), distanced and at the same time immediate sense to your writing. It's good readin'!

Also bought Nova Launcher Prime, but they were apparently acquired in the last year so now Nova is spyware? Anyway, I switched over to Kvaesitso and couldn't be happier.

look at this if you wanna know what the opera looks like. The fascinating thing to me is that they apparently put on several shows in Schwerin (predominantly protestsnt town in northern Germany) without much fuss.

no matter. I know that Career foundry offers (used to offer?) a "pay after" scheme for some of their certifications. So it doesn't cost you anything up front, but you set up a contract where you'd pay them like 5-10% of your new job's wages for a set time.

Please don't! Do you qualify for state-sponsored training? I know some people who have really improved their situation by taking advantage of the courses the unemployment office offers.

Doesn't Austria have a law that allows employees to reduce hours to part-time as they see fit? We do here in Germany. Last place I worked at, my team lead didn't want me to reduce from full-time to 80%. The Betriebsrat (employee council) was ready to go to bat for me, but I didn't like the role anyway, so I interviewed for another place. They offered me 80%, a pay raise, a better role and benefits.

This might come off as bragging, I realize. Sorry, not my intention. I just wanted to share my experience, maybe it's useful to someone 😊

Reminder: none of the currently available methods of cloud seeding are proven to work.

Yes, it all works in theory and in the lab, but in practice we have no idea if cloud seeding "makes it rain" or if it would have rained anyway (to make a long story very short).

So take anything anyone says about "them making it rain" with, like, two grains of salt.

Your bread is sweet. Like, all of it. And not just like, pleasantly so like a French brioche, but almost candy-like. Wonder Bread is one of the worst offenders, coming in at 5g added sugars per 100g: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Wonder-Bread-Classic-White-Sandwich-Bread-Sliced-White-Bread-20-oz/37858875?classType=REGULAR&athbdg=L1600

Edit: as a commenter pointed out, it's actually closer to 9g/100g, bringing it to soda levels of sugar ಠ_ಠ

I really can't tell if you're serious or not.
