Searchers had been using bloodhounds, officers on horseback, drones and helicopters in their hunt for Hardin since he escaped nearly two weeks ago on May 25.

Apparently, neither the escapee nor his hunters are very fast walkers. That 30min walk took the helicopters two weeks.

You can make real good humus out of celery.

“Oh, I thought you bought a cheap knockoff like anyone who can handle money. Looks just like one.”

“Prescription glasses” only mean “glasses with optical properties”, so glasses that actually do anything with focus, as opposed to e.g. non-prescription sunglasses or non-prescription accessory glasses that people wear to look smart or something.

It doesn’t mean you need a prescription for them.

(That said: in some countries you need a prescription for your prescription glasses if you want your health insurance to pay for them.)

The media shift is happening right now. It started about 3 weeks ago, and suddenly the media shifts from pro-israel to anti-israel. At least here in central europe this is what’s happening.

This.

Just from the features and the convenience, Reddit is better. It’s bigger, it’s got more content, it’s easier, it’s more stable (or at least used to be). You don’t have to worry about your instance going under or anything like that.

The reason for the devs to invest their time to make lemmy and the apps and for admins to invest money and time into hosting and running the instances and for users to use this instead of Reddit is mainly the politics of wanting to have your own space with your own data.

That’s good to hear. The former is big news, the second option would be not nearly as relevant.

Yeah, but the wording is weird. “34% of cruise missile bombers in key Russian airbases”

Does that mean “34% of all Russian cruise missile bombers were destroyed by hitting those sitting in key Russian airbases” or does that mean “34% of the Russian cruise missile bombers that were currently present in these specific key Russian airbases were destroyed”?

That’s two very different statements with very different meanings.

True, even with the “Is this possible?” the student’s answer should have been ok. But with the “how” the teacher’s answer is plainly wrong.

Yeah, if the question was “Is this possible?” then the teacher’s answer would be reasonable.

But the “how” in the question implicates that it’s actually factual and the student should come of with an explanation how. Which they did perfectly.
