Any cafe that offers an iced americano as a substitute for cold brew should lose their food handling permit and I’ll die on this hill

You can basically send this and they have 30 days to fix it.

I told them to fix it or I’d file a complaint with my national data protection authority. They were responsive enough but dragging their feet, but now there’s first-layer opt-out.

You’re welcome! I just pestered their DPO until they fixed it, new version just went live. Remember we’re not powerless here!

I've felt for a long time like linguistics has a place in early childhood education. I don't think anyone can fault you for thinking this; even awareness of language families as a thing is less common than it should be.

I don’t have a great answer to touch on the dyscalculia part but dysgraphia shouldn’t impact coding, at least. Unless they’re doing it by hand?

Python jumps to mind for accessibility and utility, but I’d set it up through Google Colab to avoid dependency hell in the beginning.

It’s a bit of a hot take, but Zhottas was my all time favourite driver pairing. Whatever else has happened in the history of F1, that lineup was two buddies ✨ v i b I n g ✨ with each other in their shitboxes.

Sir I believe you're missing, like, several thousand years of the history of astronomy.

I know a large number of trans planetary scientists and astrophysicists who think Pluto's a planet, to prod your hypothesis a bit :)

Rogue planets are a thing, which is one reason to use the barycentre rather than defining them relative to a specific star. The geophysical definition is based on the properties of the planet itself, and is mostly independent of the wider system. The IAU definition is ✨ v i b e s ✨

I think any non-star should be considered a planet that's differentiated with a barycentre outside of any other planets. If the barycentre is between two differentiated bodies, it's a binary system. Addressing roundness creates some problems with arbitrariness but differentiation is a proxy.

Neither Venus nor Mercury are in hydrostatic equilibrium, so they're neither planets nor dwarf planets.
