when there’s not a recognised disability involved but just health issue/s (which could be “disabling”).

From the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, in regards to the ADA:

Under the ADA , you have a disability if you have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity.

Essentially, if you are disabled, you have a disability, whether recognized or not. If you are not disabled, then you do not have a disability.

Under this definition, something like asthma, which is fairly common, can be a disability when it comes to strenuous activities, but isn’t something that is immediately obvious to someone just passing on the street.

As far as it being ablist to assume that someone not showing signs of disability isn’t disabled? No, that’s silly. Not believing them if they tell you they can’t run a mile because they have asthma? Still no, that’s skepticism.

Ablism would be something like planning a company outing, and choosing the location up a tall, steep hill when other options were available, specifically because you don’t like the fact that your coworker has asthma.

This guy is an idiot. I don’t have anything against LGBTQ people, but when it comes to medical stuff, you’re biologically male or female, because it matters for the sorts of health risks you might be susceptible to.

For real. Just because Putin is a Bond villain doesn’t make every citizen of Russia one of his goons.

There’s a few reasons.

The biggest reason is that bittorrent doesn’t download segments in order. YouTube is a video streaming service, so the video will stop playing after segment 5 if you don’t have segment 6, regardless of how many segments you actually have. This is a user experience issue, and it would basically make YouTube unusable for the current use cases.

Peer to peer file sharing, as you might expect, means that other end users are providing the videos, not the company. This means that the company cannot guarantee transfer speed, file completeness, or even that the file is the right file. This may end up causing them some legal trouble in the platform current state.

Peer to peer also means that the videos need to be stored in multiple locations, with multiple copies, and Joe Schmo doesn’t have a datacenter in his basement. There will end up being a limit to how much content can be stored, and things that people don’t watch simply won’t be stored anywhere, so you wouldn’t be able to look up that meme video you liked 14 years ago.

It’s just not a good way of providing data as a service to a customer. It’s an alternative for smaller sites that can’t afford, or don’t want the paper trail of, appropriate data server sizes.

This whole incel concept confuses me. Are you telling me there are hordes of dudes out there so unlikable that they can’t even pay a hooker for a handy?

That’s what it appears to be. This is supported somewhat by the term “moonwise” not having a lot of historical usage, leading me to believe that it came along much later by someone who wanted a related antonym.

The only bit about the moon that seems to travel right to left are it’s phase changes, and even that is because we’re outside the rotation and watching along it’s horizontal plane. You’ll see the same thing with anything spinning clockwise in front of you: the closer edge goes right to left, the farther edge goes left to right.

It’s been very difficult to find an answer for this, and I suspect it’s because most of the southern hemisphere is water, and most of the rest of it was colonised by people from the northern hemisphere. As of right now, I couldnt say if there simply weren’t words for that kind of rotational motion or if my google-fu simply isn’t strong enough.

The best answer I’ve been able to find is from Indonesia, which is equatorial. The word “sunwise” translates into a phrase “from left to right” via Google Translate, but that may just be an artifact of machine translation.

That made me curious, so I tried to find a pre-clock synonym in Indonesian. The best answer I have is by translating “Sunwise”, which became “dr kiri ke kanan” or “from left to right.”

Which make sense, if something is going clockwise around you, that’s what you’d see. No idea if that was a real phrase or an artifact of machine translation, though.

“Sunwise”, and for the exact same reason.

Clocks go clockwise because their predecessors did. What were their predecessors?

Sundials.

How does the shadow go around a sundial? Well, sunwise, of course.

Counterclockwise, as said in another comment, was “widdershins”, from a Middle Low German phrase meaning “against the way”.

No, he’s claiming that he shagged David Attenborough.

From what I can easily find, it seems to be around 3k-4.8k CNY after taxes, about 3.6k to 5.7k before. This was in 2019, though.

Am I contagious, or showing symptoms of something contagious? Stay home.

Am I incapable of doing my job or driving to work? Stay home.

Otherwise? Suck it up.

They exist, but they’re expensive. The cheapest I see is the Mercedes AMG E53 Cabriolet for around 80k.

The reasons why they’re expensive are touched on in another post: hybrids are heavy because batteries are heavy, convertibles are heavy because you can’t use the roof for the car’s structure anymore, so a convertible hybrid is extra heavy. Solving that engineering problem makes them expensive.

Typically, people do associate the terms with different forms of power, but they’re really the same thing. A motor creates motion using supplied power. That’s what a car engine does: it uses the chemical energy in fuel to move pistons.

If I understand correctly about your line of work, this is consistent: the supplied power source is converted to rotational motion in the fans. Your compressor engine is also a motor.

If you have something else that turns the airflow into electricity, then you have a generator there, and will need another motor to make stuff move again.

This is also why hybrids need an electric motor and a gas engine: they have a generator that turns motion into electricity, so they need something that turns electricity back into motion.

Pick me! I’m as strange as they come!
