@AnatoliUkraine @atrupar And the cost of the bombs dropped is about the worst metric I’ve could imagine

@KC_Gadouuu @onlysmartbrain @LiviuHuluta @BrankoMilan The statement was about cultural power, not political. Clearly the USSR was highly influential geopolitically, as the whole world organized around a bipolar world. But that does not detract from the fact that its culture was eclipsed globally by Western culture.

@onlysmartbrain @LiviuHuluta @BrankoMilan Oh yeah? Who outside the Soviet bloc followed Russian popular culture? Name one internationally-renowned artist in any field from that era who was not or did not become a dissident. pre-Soviet literature, classical music and dance do not count

@LiviuHuluta @BrankoMilan Don’t forget that Waterloo was not just a Franco-British thing: without the Prussians it would have been another string to Napoleon’s bow

@messedupfoods Advise the wait staff to work elsewhere if they need a 40% tip to earn a wage; and never darken the doorstep of any restaurant belonging to that owner

@JamesSurowiecki @marcorandazza You react to the “evidence” issue rather than the assertion that the homeless should be denied the vote?

@NoContextHumans This is where the rare function comes in useful 😀

@dhananjay_nikam @Math_files 33.3%

[Tim Trevan @treveghan]

@dhananjay_nikam @Math_files If the correct answer is 25%, you have a 50% chance; if 40% is right, your chance is 25%, as it is if the correct answer is 60%. So your chance of randomly getting it right is (50%+25%+25%)/3=0.313 33.3%

[Tim Trevan @treveghan]

@Math_files It depends entirely how much the exam setters take into account social biases in selecting letters before deciding how to distribute the corrects answers against each letter

[Tim Trevan @treveghan]

@vmanulik @DR_DennisR @Mirosla91247253 @clement_molin Agreed, as Iran is proving in the Straits of Hormuz

@front_ukrainian Any of the residents of those buildings moving out yet?

@yenga_ Did a quick Google search for ‘hedgerow ecosystems in Devon and Cornwall’. I undersold them: 2000+ species; Devon alone has over 33,000 miles of hedgerows and over 75% of them are more than 600 years old.

[Tim Trevan @treveghan]

@yenga_ Correction “sunken 6’ below the fields”

[Tim Trevan @treveghan]

@yenga_ And the hedgerows are their own ecosystems with upwards of 250 species. It is worth seeking to preserve, even if it is not ‘natural’

[Tim Trevan @treveghan]

@yenga_ There is no ‘natural environment’ in the UK - it’s all shaped by the actions of humans and there domesticated animals

[Tim Trevan @treveghan]

@yenga_ On that we agree. And I do favour reintroduction of predators first which there is a viable habitat
