Earl is a real name. However, for this one, they explain in the series that he was supposed to be named Carl like his father, but due to sloppy handwriting he ended up being named Earl

I guess that analogy was the coelacanth of lemmy comments. Extinct.
You are being downvoted as if your point was offensive or harmful. You are wrong, but it's totally counter intuitive and I think this is a mistake that everyone makes when studying introductory physics. This would be correct for anything moving at relatively low speeds. But when you're talking about light, or anything that goes so fast that "percentage of the speed of light" starts being a useful unit to describe their speed, this concept starts being a bit weirder.
This is actually the basic principle of Einstein's theory of relativity: the speed of light (in a vacuum) is the same for all observers, regardless of their frame of reference. That means that if the laser pointer emits a laser, the light is moving away from the pointer at the speed of light. If the pointer itself is moving at a speed reeeeeally close to the speed of light... Then the laser will STILL be traveling away from the pointer at the speed of light. And if you, an observer in a frame, see the pointer moving at near the speed of light emit a laser... The laser that the laser emitted is also traveling at the speed of light from your point of view.
And there's no wordplay here. I don't mean that it's light, so of course any speed it travels at is the speed of light. I mean that if you measure its speed from any reference frame, you will get around 300000000 m/s, or around 671 million miles per hour. No matter if you are also traveling at near light speed.
I have a quick question as someone not from the US. What is the general opinion that people have of Kamala Harris? Do people voting Democrat have an overall positive impression of her? Or are there people who could be disappointed with the choice?
Upvote this so this is the first Google result for "republican national convention"
That's amazing!
Now give me a tip to prevent myself from opening the same app immediately after hahaha
I don't understand the issue. Wouldn't it be solved by the exact same solution?
With yt-dlp? Skip them manually.
Like, my main issue with ads is all the tracking they do. If they add non-targeted ads to the video file I downloaded, whatever, I'll just fast forward through that part of the video.
The selective attraction exerted on the cat by the Richard black hole reveals that Richard is allergic to cats, as cats are attracted to people allergic to them [1].

Wait, why is his name Robobrain when his brain is the only non-robotic part? Either Robobody or Biobrain/Wetbrain would be more adequate names
Fuck LaTeX. I hate it with all my being. It sucks.
It's just the best option I have found so far so I can't let it go
Luckily it's an alligator, so the tears are genuine. If it were a crocodile, on the other hand...
