On that note, I would have loved to see The Butterfly Effect with Gyllenhaal in the lead role!

Looks like they would rather move their business out of Switzerland than comply with this, so presumably you’re good at least until the same thing happens EU-wide..

I think that’s a Moomin character, not a frog..

As the teacher would tell you: read the entire problem before answering! (It says so in the problem)

I have no idea about the meme format (though I see this is a cross post from anti memes), but the picture is a reference to a famous legend about exponential growth:

Allegedly, the inventor of chess asked the ruler of India (where it was invented) for payment in the form of rice, with a single grain in the first square and the amount doubling for each subsequent square. The ruler agreed, believing the amount to be small, but soon found out there was not enough rice in India to pay the man.

Their videos always drop on Nebula first. It will be available on YouTube later (and probably posted here again at that time).

I am a relatively median lifeform, while you are extreme, all-engulfing madness. A volatile simian nervous system, ominously new to the planet.

having to drive slower than reasonable

Honestly, this only exemplifies why speed limits by themselves don’t work. We have to design the streets so that the lower speed feels reasonable.

I know I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but it’s always worth saying.

This is how you get a high GDP while half the population can’t afford to satisfy basic needs.

Chicken Tikka Masala was almost certainly invented in Britain.

1366 was always strange.

1366 is 768 divided by 9 times 16, to get an image with 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio. The 768 part comes from 1024x768, which was a very common screen resolution back when.
