In Canada, the Weights and Measures Act (R.S. 1985), which has the laws in English and French printed side-by-side, defines a pint in English as 1/8 of a gallon, but defines a pinte in French as 1/4 of a gallon.[10] Thus, if you speak English and order "a pint of beer", servers are legally required to serve you 568 ml of beer,[11] but if you speak French and order "une pinte de bičre", they are legally required to serve an Imperial quart (une pinte), which is 1136 ml—twice as much.[12] To order an Imperial pint when speaking French in Canada, one must instead order une chopine de bičre[13].![]()

Roko's basilisk was referenced in Canadian musician Grimes's music video for her 2015 song "Flesh Without Blood" through a character named "Rococo Basilisk" who was described by Grimes as "doomed to be eternally tortured by an artificial intelligence, but she's also kind of like Marie Antoinette." After thinking of this pun and finding that Grimes had already made this pun, Elon Musk contacted Grimes, which led to them dating.[13][14]

Acoustic Kitty is a CIA project launched by the Central Intelligence Agency Directorate of Science & Technology, which in the 1960s intended to use cats to spy on the Kremlin and Soviet embassies. In an hour-long procedure a veterinary surgeon implanted a microphone in the cat's ear canal, a small radio transmitter at the base of its skull and a thin wire into its fur.[1] This would allow the cat to innocuously record and transmit sound from its surroundings. Due to problems with distraction, the cat's sense of hunger had to be addressed in another operation.[2] Victor Marchetti, a former CIA officer, said Project Acoustic Kitty cost about $20 million.[3] The first Acoustic Kitty mission was to eavesdrop on two men in a park outside the Soviet compound on Wisconsin Avenue in Washington, D.C. The cat was released nearby, but was hit and allegedly killed by a taxi almost immediately.[4]

The characters 'T', 'E', and 'X' in the name come from the Greek capital letters tau, epsilon, and chi, as the name of TeX derives from the Ancient Greek: τέχνη ('skill', 'art', 'technique'); for this reason, TeX's creator Donald Knuth promotes its pronunciation as /tɛx/ (tekh)[16] (that is, with a voiceless velar fricative as in Modern Greek, similar to the ch in loch). Lamport remarks that "TeX is usually pronounced tech, making lah-tech, lah-tech, and lay-tech the logical choices; but language is not always logical, so lay-tecks is also possible."[17] thread-relevant content itp

haveblue posted:the best judaism hack is still the eruv you are missing the best part which is how they actually accomplish this. what defines the inside of your home? why, the walls that enclose it, of course. so if the neighborhood were walled, you could consider it as one large home. now that neighborhood wall, surely it would need at least one gate, so that people can enter and leave. well, what if we made the entire wall out of gates? that is, we will string up a high wire on poles so that it encloses the neighborhood. the poles are the only "wall" parts of the wall. everywhere else is a gate. mission accomplished god loves it when you rules-lawyer him like this. but what if some rear end in a top hat gets up on a ladder and cuts the wire? now the wall is broken, and you are violating god's law. so you better believe they check before each sabbath!

goblin week posted:i'd send them to hell if they tried this at me jews don't really believe in hell. there is some discussion of the afterlife in jewish mysticism, but none of the fire and brimstone eternal torture stuff. then again, you don't get 72 virgins in heaven either. the reward for doing a mitzvah is... getting to do the mitzvah. you follow the jewish laws because you're a jew, and that's what jews do
