What area of the world do you live in? In my neck of the woods wishing a “boring shift” or a “quiet shift” is considered a curse and will bring about all the crazy cases.

We typically wish each other a “safe shift” instead of a “quiet shift” here.

It’s not a binary clean/not-clean thing. The sock will be tumbled around in water with the other clothes as it’s being dried.

The sock will be clean-ER than it was when it was on the floor. The sock won’t be AS clean as the rest of the clothes in the drier.

Depending on how dirty the sock started out, this may be all that matters. We don’t know how sweaty or stained the sock started out. We don’t know how clean this person requires their sock to be.

Would I do it? No, I prefer my socks to be cleaner than that, and my socks get kinda stinky after I wear them. But someone that mostly wore them around the house and never actually put those socks into shoes? It’s probably fine.

You know, this isn’t the greatest argument. Horse Dewormer is an antiparasitic. It’s legitimately used by people as an anti-parasitic (also, dogs, and other animals, not just horses).

You can definitely say “joe rogan thinks an anti-parasitic drug works on viruses.” but calling it a “horse dewormer” is ignoring the fact that it’s actually also a “people dewormer.”

This is a great comment, but just for completeness, the Type Ia Supernovae is only one part of the Cosmic Distance Ladder.

We can start with small, easier to measure things, and work our way outwards to more and more complicated measurement techniques. Most of these techniques overlap each other and can be used to confirm our measurements.

One of the big unsolved questions in cosmology is that many of our measurements disagree, this isn’t a “problem” just an unsolved question, and as a result, we don’t know how far away things are to the accuracy we would like. That being said, we still know how far away they are to a pretty damn close approximation.

The interesting thing is, the better we get at measuring how far away things are, the more our measurements differ from each other. There’s a lot of reasons why this might be, but one of them is that a Type Ia Supernovae might not be as standard as we think it is.

One thing you missed… WhatsApp took off BEFORE facebook (now meta) bought it. So it had a huge network effect while it was independent.

No, cause this is sunset, which happens when the sun sets in the west.

West is left, which means this picture was not flipped, just taken from an unintended angle.

It’s called a Path Traversal attack.

Basically, if you add a …/ in a query, you can start to work backwards in the directory tree to root, then go up again to someplace you shouldn’t go. The firewall doesn’t block this attack, cause it’s just doing a regular HTTP(s) request.

My best friend? Gets the cash no questions asked.

If I needed additional follow ups, then he’s not really my best friend.
