The fact that it won’t have any record of calls I missed while the phone was off or didn’t have reception, although actually that’s probably the fault of the service provider. They can send me texts I missed. Why can’t they send me a list of missed calls?
I don’t understand why browsers support this “functionality”.
My worst review said that my paper was technically sound but my entire specialty was a “cottage industry” generating computational models with no real-world relevance and therefore the paper should be rejected. The editor offered the opportunity to rebut but what could I say to something like that?
(The reviewer still lives, as far as I know.)
On the plus side, this meant that I was rejected by PNAS but then published in BJ.
But who can stop an oven with a gun?
Why do people do that? I mean, if they intend to abandon the dog poop, why would they bag it first?

Hold out until the quad-mounted 50 cal is brought back.
Species with internal fertilization tend to have females care for the young because the male is the one who can leave first. He can maximize his reproductive success by searching for other females while the female is left with the choice between putting a lot more time and energy into caring for the offspring or leaving them to die.
Species with external fertilization usually have the opposite dynamic. The female lays unfertilized eggs and then leaves. The male is the one stuck caring for them because they would die otherwise. However, the males of some species have evolved to be too clever for this:
Among the maternal mouthbrooding cichlids, it is quite common … for the male to fertilise the eggs only once they are in the female’s mouth.
They managed to fit something into the trunk of a BMW coupe? I thought that was impossible.

I understand that that’s the intent. The problem is the methodology, which is as I said just multiplication by five. Calling it a gold standard implies that there’s actually some sophisticated analysis going on, and there isn’t.
The “gold standard in the field” is apparently to multiply the Hamas numbers by five. I’m not kidding. That’s where the 186,000 number comes from. This is low-effort bullshit.
Edit: Also this article is just wrong about what the 335,500 number is claimed to be. It is what you get if you extrapolate the 186,000 number to the end of the year, not to September.

Does… Does this mean Harris actually isn’t the lesser of two evils? Now I don’t know who to vote for.
The Egyptians weren’t always shy, but there do appear to be traces of green paint.
In case anyone is curious: the ancestors of house spiders lived in caves. They’re adapted to live in very dry environments, which is why they can survive indoors while most other spiders can’t.
My naming convention for C++ is that custom types are capitalized and instances aren’t. So I might write User user;.
Those numbers aren’t right.
First, the total-gun-death numbers are not population-adjusted and therefore useless without additional context. The same article does have the population-adjusted numbers and the USA is, predictably, not in the top ten.
Second, once the numbers are adjusted for population, there are some very strange results. For example, apparently Iraq actually has slightly fewer gun deaths per capita than the USA. Nigeria, the country where Boko Haram is based, has four times fewer gun deaths per capita than the USA?! Clearly the gun-death numbers correspond more to how well records are kept in a country than they do to the actual numbers of gun deaths.
Oh, and those gun death numbers include suicides, not just murders. Most gun deaths in the USA are suicides. A suicide is technically a gun death, but not usually the sort that people have in mind when discussing a school shooting.
I don’t understand why the father would just confess like that, but I suppose I shouldn’t expect good judgement from him.
What about the lower-profile Warsaw Pact tanks? Are they safer to drive around small children?
