I believe this is a thing in Quebec.

from https://culturalatlas.sbs.com.au/canadian-culture/canadian-culture-naming

In Quebec, the Civil Code requires parents to assign their child only one surname (either a single or compound surname) derived from their respective surnames. Compound surnames may not have more than two parts, with or without hyphens. Thus, a couple named Joseph BOUCHARD-TREMBLAY and Marie DION-ROY could give their children the surnames:

• BOUCHARD
• TREMBLAY
• DION
• ROY
• BOUCHARD-TREMBLAY
• DION-ROY
• BOUCHARD-DION
• BOUCHARD-ROY, and so on.

In Quebec, the law provides that spouses retain their respective birth names when they are married.

Hi OP. I'm sorry that you were exposed to CP. Thankfully I didn't see it before it was purged, but I'm sure it was distressing, especially for someone who was a victim.

I feel that you post is important, but this is not really the appropriate community to raise it. Can you please re-post in support@Lemmy.world?

Take people with low empathy and train them up in psychological manipulation and covert operations. Color me shocked that this happened.

I gather that many larger ships often either have malfunctioning AIS or don't have it turned on.

AIS is a system that pings identity and location to other ships, and can set off alarms to warn of impending collisions at sea.

(…) cops have yet to ID a suspect.

Surely the could do it digitally?

I saw some documentary that suggested that they used to chip straight through fossilized feathers and skin to get to the bones because they didn't realise what they were.

The Washington Post estimated that during his presidency, Trump made more than 30,000 false or misleading statements.

Gettin' hot in here. Remember Rule 1 people!

People who engage in debate in good faith are welcome. People who abuse and name call are not. Doesn't matter what your political ideology is, BE NICE!

Sounds like he knew it was a lie and doesn't care... or can't admit he was wrong. Neither are qualities you want in a leader.

Might be worth mentioning on !fediverse@lemmy.world

There have been many varieties other than that one. We must be getting to them before you see them, which is good.

Look up biblical cosmology on Wikipedia.

Lol. Brings back memories of all-nighters playing Doom in the computer labs. IT used to delete it from all of the desktops and we would just ftp it back again.

I came here thinking it would be a Reddit alternative. I stayed because I realized it wasn't Reddit 2.0, it was something better.

etymology

Give us your best word origin.

You forgot gen-x, who were the first generation to really have access to the internet at a young age but had to work at it.

I'm gen-x and have both my boomer parents as well as my 'digital native' kids come to me for help with technology.

It's even better than that. It's a computer's version of a story describing how a computer wrote a story which was then front-paged by a computer.

Maybe. Some discussion going on at the moment about how to handle it.

The number of people who have been released after decades in prison after modern forensic techniques (e.g. DNA analysis) have proven the convicted person was innocent shows why execution should never be used. Better that a guilty person spend a life in jail instead of be executed than an innocent person be executed by mistake.

Found the dev.

5.0: Lemmy.World consists of a large number of communities from all around the world, leading our federated network.

This sentence is a little unclear to a native speaker. Maybe change "leading" to "constituting".

I also suggest that maybe an extra clause could be added to pick up CP related content that may not be illegal, such as drawings, hentai and AI generated content that depicts minors involved in sexual or other inappropriate acts. It doesn't quite fit into 5.04 as it may not necessarily be illegal (IDK) , or 5.06 as it may not necessarily involve gore or violence.

Love your attitude. Have an upvote.

I'm not surprised tbh. Having perused some of the text training datasets they were pretty bad. The classification is dodgy too. I ended up starting my own dataset because of this.

It's basically because they don't directly convert electricity into heat, they just pull it in from outside. It still takes energy to 'push the heat uphill' from a cold place to a hot place, but less than directly heating.

To take my previous comment to the next level, have you ever put your finger over the end of an old-school bicycle pump and tried to push it in? If you have, you'll know that the pump gets hot. The reason is that you are not only compressing air, you are compressing the heat that the air has. This raises the temperature and we can use this phenomenon to move heat around.

Imagine you were outside where it was cool and you extended the bicycle pump and blocked the end permanently.

Then you went inside hour house and compressed the pump. The air (and heat) in the pump would be compressed into a smaller space, so it the air temperature of the air in the pump would increase. If you compressed it a bit, the air in the pump might go up to be the same temperature as the air inside your house. If you compressed it even more, it would get hotter than the air inside the house. If you then held it there, over time, the heat inside the pump would transfer through the wall of the pump to the air in your house. This would cause the air inside your house to warm up and the air inside the pump to cool down until they are the same temperature. In doing this you have taken the heat in the air outside, and released it inside.

If you then went back outside and allowed the pump to extend again, then the air would decompress and, because the heat previously left the air in the pump (when it was inside), it would get quite cold. Colder than the air outside. If you then waited again, the air in the pump would gradually warm up, drawing heat from the air from outside of your house. This happens because even though the air outside is cool, it's still warmer than the air in the pump.

Rinse and repeat. An air conditioner on heating mode, or a heat pump basically work in the same way. However, rather than using a bicycle pump, they have fluid running in a loop from inside to outside and back inside. The evaporator (outside the house) collects heat by allowing the fluid to 'expand' and cool below the ambient temperature outside. The condensor (inside the house) releases the heat by allowing the fluid to 'contract' and heat above the ambient temperature inside.

In this way, no heat is directly created from electricity. It is just moved from outside to inside. Believe it or not, this takes less energy than converting electricity into heat directly.

I've deliberately not talked about phase change here to keep it simple, that doesn't change the basic idea behind it.

You need to see a doctor to get your humanity checked. It seems not to be working.

I'm only a mod, not an admin, but it's happening on other instances as I understand it.

I thought @draghetta made a good point in way that wasn't particularly shallow or dismissive. Not trying to stir hostility here, just throwing in my 2 currency subunits.

Not good.

Ooh, look! The FSB is on Lemmy.

This is a really good point. Should the community be for thought provoking questions or discussion provoking questions?

I’ll have you know, one of my best friends is a stick.

There doesn’t seem to be any monolithic music culture at all anymore. Everyone has super customized spotify playlists.

I've noticed this too. In some ways it makes it harder to find new music.

The seven habits of highly effective people. Sounds like a get rich quick book but it’s actually a very profound book about what it means to be authentic to yourself and in your interactions with others. This book completely changed my life.

Thinking fast and slow. This book will give you insights into your own mind that are science based and actually explain so much of what we observe in the behaviour of ourselves and others.
