Does not matter. All these natural rubbers are very similar in how they work, you can find a paper on the polymerization in chicle here if you don’t believe me.

Yes really, still a polymer: it forms polyisoprene upon drying. You also find the stuff (synthesised from oil, yes, but chemically indistinguishable) in tires and condoms.

Also, chemically they are identical. Plastic made of a plant is still a plastic.

But no-one is hiring professors because they are good at peer reviewing. Spending time on research is simply a ‘better’ use of your time.

Because the plague specifically did not reach Europe before 1347 as far as we know. Now of course there could be plague in Europe before this, and we modern people don’t know about it because of poor recordkeeping or something. But it would be a bit surprising. Therefore: weird.

Probably, although there would still need to be some evolutionary pressure for forward facing eyes… I wonder what it is.

No, you may disagree with changing the minimum time from 3 to 5 years, but this is not ‘a Nazi’. Let’s keep that word for actual Nazi things, instead of ‘things I vaguely disagree with’.

I feel like I should point out that this is an opinion piece by this dude, unlike the Hitler one above.

I don’t know if first authorship needs to go away. I’ve definitely been 2nd or 3rd author for a few days of work (as compared to months of work for the first author).

You can give detailed attribution (many papers require them nowadays), but no-one ever reads them.

Haha, DB also does this with foreign delays. I’ve been in a German train starting in Amsterdam that left 5 mins late - they mentioned it at every stop until Munich.

Polar is not supported by Gadgetbridge (yet?), you can find the supported devices here.

Normally I would advice Bangle.js, but it is not great for swimming.

In the order of 40000 people, so pretty tiny compared to the big search engines.

Outside of Czechia mapy just uses openstreetmap data, that is why it works so well for hiking

Very nice. I hope the cox realizes 5 is off-pace.

A candidate for genuinely Dutch hot dog-like food are maybe broodjes rookworst:

Or maybe even worstenbroodjes, now that I think of it…

The WHO discourages this because people will start associating the name with the disease. Which sucks if you happen to have this name. See Tourette’s, or Chagas disease.

You can read a bit about it here.

Somewhat relevant XKCD

This is how I started in a tiny room. I am not proud, but maybe good to show between all the shiny things here.

Unfortunately there are many counterexamples, large animals that live long in the wild tend to have shorter lives in zoos, like elephants, hippos, and monkeys.
