That's exactly my kind of humor: the page "aliveitheorie" remains black because I'm not allowing a Java script.

Wait, we are not mapping things we see in sattelite images, we are mapping things that have ground truth.

Please do not contribute anything ai-fantasized

I was on a search for the 'perfect' system all my life.

And I found it after 40 years : The No-System System... and it's the exactly opposite of op's suggestion :-)

All together in somewhat chaotic folders and subfolders... the clou is that I use "recoll" everytime i search something. It's an Index based search engine. Take a look...

I never missed something since I use just recoll and throw things just anywhere in the huge black box.

The main pro: it costs me no time to "sort" things into things.

You don't need a PhD to push the boundaries. You need a PhD to make others believe you pushed the boundaries!

Not "where"... they are "there"...

But "when" they are?

Could Ingenuity fly with 3 blades or is Ingenuity too heavy for that?

At least in Germany, such agreements are afaik invalid and without a severability clause, possibly all others too. Simply because something like copyright cannot be assigned in Germany. Secondly, there are ways to use Reddit without ever having agreed to the ToS.

Maybe retroreflectors?

New comment by ySteeK in "Why can’t I go faster than the speed of light?"

ySteeK — Sun, 12 Sep 2021 19:29:24 +0000

wouldn't it go backward in time if it goes faster than light? Light travels in null-time from point a to point b (light-perspective of course) - anything slower, needs time to go from a to b. if i travel faster than light, i can - but i travel to b before i start at a. Maybe because this is not possible.

That, my friends, would be the first step for my dream to finally map historical data, like in the OHM, directly in the OSM without anyone feeling bothered by it.

most likely these are cosmic rays hitting the sensor

New comment by ySteeK in "English, Swedish, German and Finnish Decline “Dog” (2013)"

ySteeK — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 23:34:06 +0000

Maybe finnish has more declinations but german has a nearly unlimited amount of words with "dog" too...

Hundstage, Hundehotel, Hundekot, Hundeasyl, Hundepension, Hundeweg, Hundemüde, Hundefell, Hundebox, Hundebett, Hundefloh, Hundebiss, Hundewiese, Hundekeks, Hundebaby, Hundedreck, Hunderasse, Hundekette, Hundehalsband, Hunde... and so on and so on
