There's a Sawbones episode on fluoride and its effects on teeth (and why it's good for you), if you like to be educated and entertained at the same time, I highly recommend listening to it! Great podcast.

And yes, fluoride is good for adult teeth, too.

Is this satire? SoaD is one of the most political bands I know?

Daring to suggest that MacOS is enjoyable to use is also something that will get a lot of people angry for no reason.

Not trying to be mean, but why not use fractions if you need to be more precise? If you need to express "halfway between 20°C and 21°C" you could just say 20.5°C.

Here, I'm not who you replied to, but you'll get my "uninteresting" fact anyway: The US customary units (at least most of them) are defined using the metric system.

Oh, fanfiction for me, too. My partner does know this about me though. I can't actually think of anything that they don't know about, hmm.

What's best is probably hosting your own git server (for hopefully obvious reasons).

Your comment says "Microsoft Studio Code" and "MS Code", neither of which is a thing (as I tried to point out). The actual software you're talking about is "(MS) Visual Studio" and "(MS) Visual Studio Code", and that naming convention is pretty common for products (and other things) that are different but similar (think Photoshop and Photoshop Express, PSX and PS2, C and C++ etc.).

Are you talking about Visual Studio Community/Professional/Enterprise and Visual Studio Code? Because if so, I don't really agree. Visual Studio is an IDE (VS Community is the free tier) whereas VS Code is a code editor (as the name implies).

It's more like they're using the wrong sign for addition / using addition instead of subtraction to confuse you. The shepherds start with x sheep. They pay 30 and have x - 30. They should get 5 back, but they only get 3, so they have x - 30 + 3 = x - 27. If the sons had given them the last 2, they'd have x - 27 + 2 = x - 25 = x - 30 + 5.

If you want to view it from the trolls' side, you need only multiply everything with (-1).

I wholeheartedly agree, people use the term "AI" nowadays to refer to a very specific subcategory of DNNs (LLMs), but yeah, it used to refer to any more or less """smart""" algorithm performing.... Something on a set of input parameters. SVMs are AI, decision forests are AI, freaking kNN is AI, "artificial intelligence" is a loosely defined concept, any algorithm that aims to mimic human behaviour can be called AI and I'm getting a bit tired of hearing people say "AI" when they mean gpt-4 or stable diffusion.

Not sure for iOS, but on Android you can put the stopwatch widget on your home screen if you use it a lot, makes it easier to reach. Not as easy as a dedicated stopwatch, but an option if you don't want one but use the feature a lot.
