I think what had a big impact on me is they show both a healthy lung and a smoker's lung

How about a condition where the person looks like a woman, acts like a woman, but has XY chromosomes and internal testes?

You can always just do integer pixel scaling which will look just as good as the original

> Although some scientists equate the term "humans" with all members of the genus Homo, in common usage it generally refers to Homo sapiens, the only extant member.

> But unless you own a ’90s era PC, an Amiga or a 16-bit console, your chances of playing Dune II in its original glory are slim, which is a shame.

Anecdotally, I didn't have a car until I got my first job. Not everyone has parents that can just buy them a car.

Or else what? I didn't accept anything when I went to youtube.com

Can you force me to keep to an agreement I didn't agree to?

It doesn't have to be youtube.com

plenty of sites get hacked and hackers phish their users, it's very real

I didn't sign a contract, so any exchange youtube perceives from my visit is their own hallucination because I didn't agree to their terms.

I don't know if I want to see the content or not until I request the page.

What if I go on youtube, but some scammer replaced it with a page that says "your computer is hacked, send BTC to enable youtube, go to scamwebsite.com". My safe browsing add-on should be able to block the content of scamwebsite.com, or even block this message completely if the maintainers act more quickly than youtube

To argue "you visited youtube.com and the scammer has the right to show you the scam message" is not logical, so why should "you visited youtube.com and Google has the right to show you advertisements" hold? You only argued from the act of visiting the website and it costing someone money. It costs the scammer money to serve the requests from billions of people hitting the website, that doesn't change from the perspective of your argument.

It's actually much easier

When people say in English one hundred thousand one thousand and ten, you will need to visualize the digits

101,010

But in Chinese you say 10 * 10^4, 1 * 10^3, 0, 1 * 10

the zero helps you write a zero after the second one without making a mistake

interestingly, in Chinese you would say 1k1h8 when pronouncing the numbers

nobody adds the decimal digit to integers, though

1180 can be 4 significant digits if the count is precise
