Literally, "water man" is correct. But I would translate it a bit more loosely as "water bearer".
Most, if not all, names of zodiac signs in Dutchare are literal translations from Latin. But while most people understand that Leo means Lion, how many know Cancer is Latin for crab?

Not exactly related to the question, but as a non-native English speaker, whenever I read something related to weights in imperial, e.g., 150 lbs, my mind reads it as 150 lubes.
I know it's pounds, if I would read it out loud, I would say pounds cause I'm not a weirdo (well...). But still, my internal monologue has lbs = lubes

The amount of heavy elements present in a star when it formed will be neglible to the amount that will be created over time through fusion.
You can actually detect this through spectroscopy because the initial amount of metals will be present in the outer layer of the star. Heavy elements made through fusion will be mostly in the core.
The reason stars formed from primordial gas, i.e. only consisting of hydrogen and helium, is that such a gas will fragment less as it cools and collapses. Less fragmentation means heavier stars.
I only have a high level knowledge of the process though.

Shouldn't you ask for the cat's age as well as the recordings? Or did I read over that?
It might be worthwhile to gather some other information about the cat, like whether they're indoor or outdoor cats, former strays or not,...

By not voting, you are still, implicitly, voting for the candidate who you wouldn't have voted for. Do you think he's not supporting Israel?
Do you think he even has any moral standing?
That's who you're voting for by not voting.
rbhfd 9 months ago • 86%
You just want to absolve yourself of that moral responsibility.
That's exactly what you are doing. You're focusing on this one issue, retreating yourself from the binary decision because neither options stands for what you (or I, or morality) would prefer. Completely ignoring that withdrawing from the choice plays into the hand of the infinitely worse candidate. So by not choosing, you do nothing to stop the situation in Gaza, but might actually make things a lot worse for people all over.
You can virtue signal that you did not compromise on your believes, while actually helping your country make a worse place.

Would this not be considered as "providing comfort to insurrectionists", as described in the 14th amendment. Even just promising pardoning them.
So even if they argue he supposedly wasn't involved in it, it would still disqualify him from office.

I'm hoping they'll rule against him as well, but these reasons seem way out there.
-
That's assuming they believe he'll go full fascist and execute them. They don't. Even if they would believe that, ruling in his favour would prove their worth to him.

I see no way that democrats could dissolve the SC. They probably wouldn't even if they could.

They basically did this with Salazar, the Portugese dictator.
He was officially replaced while in a coma. He came out of it and lived for almost 2 years more. No one ever told him he was no longer in power.

While I would agree under normal circumstances, that would just be abused in the current political atmosphere.
Republicans are now already trying to impeach Biden for some made up reason while knowing it will never stick in the senate. Can you imagine how much more effort they'd spent in it if it would prevent Biden from running for reelection.
Everything Trump has done should be enough to make him unelectable in the eyes of the voters, even if it doesn't legally prevent him from running.

The reason there is a difference in how much light is reflected, is because the moon is in a different position. During a new moon, it's on the day side of the earth (so in between the sun and the earth) while during a full moon, it's on the night side.
So there could theoretically be a gravitational effect, although I don't think it would impact anyone's sleep.
If anyone is noticing a difference in sleep quality, it's most likely indeed to do with the amount of light.

I've been thinking we should play on xenophobe's fears to get them to support actions to curb climate change.
At least their bigotry will have some positive result then.
Of course, ideally, they could be convinced that not "all brown people are bad" (sic) and also support climate change action, but we all now how likely that is.

I'm as pragmatic as they get and always trying to understand why people vote the way they do. But if you're a "moderate republican" and think Trump is still better than Biden/Pelosi, you're out of touch with reality, brainwashed, or not as moderate as you think.

Other than that, I do agree with you. Europe is still very racist but we like to think we're not. Just because it's less talked about, doesn't mean it's not there.

It's an easy rule, yes. It's also an easy one to overlook if you're not paying attention.
"Word je blij?", but also "wordt je moeder blij?".
It's not like people don't understand the rule. No native Dutch speaker would say "Loopt jij?"

I think the main errors happen with "voltooide deelwoorden" (past participle). Then you need mnemonic devices like "'t kofschip" to know whether it's t or d (or determine it using what you would say in the past time of the verb). It doesn't help that e.g., "gebeurt" and "gebeurd" both are correct depending on the tense used.
Also the fact that the t drops when the verb is inversed in the 2nd person singular present tense, and not e.g., past tense ("Je wordt" but "Word je") is a weird rule.
It's not thát complicated and if you pay attention, you should be able to get it all right. That's why I think such mistakes are more a sign of carelessness and not of stupidity.
The Department of Culture of the City Council of Bezana directed by vox with the approval of the mayor Carmen Perez Tejedor (PP), has decided censor the screening of the film ‘Lightyear’ at the local summer cinema for the scene in which they appear two women kissing. According to ‘eldiario.es’, the council has decided to replace it with ‘Bad Guys’, reprinting all the municipal posters and changing one film for the other. The decision has raised many criticisms on social networks, including that of Adriana Lastra, who describes the PP as “a danger to freedom.” This decision comes in a week in which Vox has intensified its crusade against the LGTBI flag, with Juan Garcia-Gallardo, vice president of the Junta de Castilla y León, calling her a “rag”. We have also seen how in town halls such as Mérida, the ultra-right wants to remove that flag, hiding behind “what the Supreme Court says”, a false premise. As the journalist Alfonso Pérez Medina explains, the Administrative Litigation Chamber ruled in 2020 on the so-called Canarian national flag, establishing that an unofficial flag cannot be placed next to the official flags, but leaving the door open for them to be placed anywhere else on the façade. The truth is that it is not the first controversy surrounding this film, which It was banned at its premiere in 14 countries. from the Middle East and Asia for that same kiss. In the case of the Office of Media Regulation of the Ministry of Culture and Youth of the United Arab Emirates, they hide behind the fact that Disney had not allowed them to cut parts of their film. There were also Latin American cinemas that warned that this film contained “gender ideology”. The ‘Washington Post’ came to collect that some Disney executives asked Pixar to remove the scene, something to which the company refused. “We’ve had the full backing of the studio,” said Angus MacLane, the film’s director.
