An echo chamber where the barriers are “don’t advocate for bigotry” and “don’t be a bigot”? Damn. Mighty big echo chamber ya got here. You can fit all sorts of amicable disagreements in here. Hell, you can even fit nearly uncivil ones too! Boy howdy there sure is a lot of space to disagree when the limits are this far out.

I’ve learned a little Japanese and can say that repeating words changes the meaning. Like an intensifier. So, “wait” followed by “stop” could be a legitimate translation, showing the increased demand level of the repeated word.

Surprise Medical Billing has mostly been nerfed after the No Surprises Act here in the US. After 2022, so long as you went to an INN provider, then you can’t be charged OON pricing for any OON services that you may have encountered during that visit.

Also, I work in insurance as a software engineer

Since others have explained what those stories are about, the juxtaposition is about the idea of the Ubermensch being the savior of humanity, namely one where the Ubermensch are capitalists, is a dead concept in a world where we’ve let the capitalists run everything and result is an unmitigated disaster.

Turns out, they just want money and power. That’s it, they can’t save us. Why is this movie venerating them?

Celsius and Fahrenheit are both degrees units, meaning they’re scaled off of some arbitrary temperature. 20°C means 20 Celsius units away from Celsius 0.

Kelvin isn’t scaled. 0 Kelvin means there’s no temperature energy at all. So there’s no need to couch it in degrees, since it isn’t arbitrary but a defined scale with an absolute zero point.
