Generalising statements suck in general.

I know this is a lot more difficult than it sounds because attention is a finite resource, but giving each of them the attention they need. This does not have to be the same amount for each child but none of them should feel like the other one is getting attention when they need it.

Most adults I know that don't get along with their siblings felt like they were neglected compared to the other sibling(s). Whether that's objectively true is hard to tell but it's worth checking in with your children from time to time.

Like how "algorithm" is just the westernized spelling of of al-Khwarizmi or "guy" comes from Guy Fawkes.

And Kaiser and Tsar both come from Julius Caesar.

Baden-Württembergs Innenminister Thomas Strobl (CDU) hat den Vorstoß seines Parteikollegen Arnold verteidigt. "Für den Schmutz, den man macht, ist man selber verantwortlich", so Strobl.

-- Stobl, putzt bestimmt ebenso wie Arnold jeden Tag sorgfältig sein Büro und alle Klos, die er benutzt hat.

Look, as much as I dislike Rowling's terf bullshit, I haven't heard of any human trafficking allegations involving her.

Having two possible outcomes does not mean it's a 50:50 chance.

"So if I aim the arrow at the 1cm square from 100m away and shoot, I either hit it or I don't. So basically I have a 50% chance of hitting it."

I think I remember some years ago a zoo fed a dead giraffe to the lions and people went absolutely insane about it. I'm not sure about the details anymore, they might have killed it because there wasn't enough room in the zoo for it? Either way I didn't get it, what do they think the lions are fed any other day? Animals that weren't killed explicitly to become food? Some cows that couldn't bear existence on this world anymore and offered themselves as lion food? Where is the difference?

If anyone is in need of a more secure option in these dystopian times: drip keeps all your data on your phone. You can export the data, so you can keep the tracked data when changing phones. I only use it for tracking my cycle and sometimes symptoms though, so I can't say much about using it for birth control.

Fun fact: German ICEs (high-speed trains) are not allowed to enter Switzerland if they are delayed too much so they don't disrupt the Swiss schedule. This year more than 10% were not allowed to continue.

I think the reason might be racism.
