No no, that's not what I'm saying. Just that there's no need to over dramatise the events in a way that makes your point shakier than it has to be.

Sure. It's also less than a train ride between Zürich and Bern.

You get paid for lunch? Where is that? We don't either in Switzerland

Nevermind the world. Even here in Europe in Switzerland the standard is somehow 42 hours a week.

I went and checked the source: https://bongino.com/ep-2353-live-with-president-donald-trump

He sits down at timestamp 33:34 and says that remark at timestamp 1:09:12. So he was there for 35 minutes.

The characterisation "a few minutes into their discussion" seems disingenuous.

And these days magnet links are everywhere, making it even a little simpler

That's just weird. The question is about the eye. And the primary "answer" they give is about the geometry of our planet.

Edit: At least the real answer is somewhere further down in the text:

Theoretically, in a vacuum there's no limit to how far away your eyes could see since light rays can travel an infinite distance, McCulley says.

I suppose we can calculate a minimum, if we look up the smallest angle of resolution for human eyes, and approximate her as spherical.

The four bit sections of eight bit bytes are called nibbles, you know because nibbles are small bites

RFC 791 refers to an 8 bit byte as an octet

French-speaking people do too it seems. On second hand websites in Switzerland you always see that some disks are listed for e.g. 250 Go and others for 250 GB, depending on the first language of the seller.

Ja mit dem Nutzernamen muss ich dir den Hessen wohl abnehmen :D

Aber Hessen als Gegend heisst doch nur auf Englisch "Hesse" und auf Deutsch "Hessen" oder verwurstle ich da was?

My dad told me recently, when he started practicing medicine the old people with heart failures he was treating were often born in the late 1800s, but now those are all dead, and the people he's treating are more likely to have a birth years that are around 1940-1950. Which is also starting to become uncomfortably close to his own, 1960.
