“Uncensored”: https://x.com/KarlMaxxer/status/1823753493783699901. I don’t know if this is really true, but if it is, it’s something that they should’ve called out in their article.

In many countries the age of consent depends on the context. By the looks of it, the Czech Republic is one of those countries:

The age of sexual consent in the Czech Republic is 15.

Additionally, the section of the Czech penal code 40/2009 Sb. covering "crimes against family and children" contains § 202 which criminalizes a "seduction to sexual intercourse" of any persons under 18 years by any promise or provision of payment, benefit, privilege or profit, for sexual intercourse, masturbation, exposure or similar behavior.

The red lines on the finish line are real and the ads are projected from a small vertical projector at the other side of the track and are not visible in real life.

Imagine a camera with only one column of pixels, so a resolution of 1x3000, for example. You point it in a fixed direction and you keep firing extremely fast. Eventually you’ve photographed everything that has passed the camera. Paste the pixels together from right to left, and you’ve got something resembling a normal photograph, but with some distortions due to the time difference between the photos. For example, if someone put their foot on the ground in front of the camera, it will be stationary between photos and appear smeared out in the final result. Since every column of pictures is made at the exact same location, you can determine that the person on the right has finished first and the person on the left last. They apparently measure this at the level of the torso (the red lines).

Exactly, so on this photo you can see exactly who finished at what position, because it’s all taken at the finish line.

Right, I see what you mean now. I misread your comment as explaining something that was already clear.

It’s by design. They photograph only one slice repeatedly at the finish and then paste them all together. That means that everything you see here was at the same location, not at the same moment in time.

A false positive is when it incorrectly determines that a human written text is written by AI. While a detection rate of 99.9% sounds impressive, it’s not very reliable if it comes with a false positive rate of 20%.

I don’t see the issue in letting everyone run the same 10 km at the same time. A man will probably finish first, so what? Equality is not about being the same, it’s about being equal. You can easily have separate results for men and women. In fact, that’s pretty standard for these kinds of amateur races in my experience. You can also have multiple start times based on self reported running speeds. Also pretty common and avoids slow people being in the way of fast people.

Then how would you describe separate finances? We each have our own savings, investments, spending money, etc. The pooled money is on joint accounts to which we automatically distribute a fixed amount of money from our income. I mean, technically you could let one person pay the mortgage/rent, insurance, etc, but if you then split the costs later, you’re still doing the same thing. The only difference is that we split it automatically once a month.

Exactly. My partner and I are completely transparent about our income and based on that we have determined a ratio that we use to pay our household expenses and to create some buffers for renovations, taxes, holidays, etc. The rest of the money stays in our own bank accounts and we can do whatever we like with it. To me that makes perfect sense. If I’d like to spend money on something very expensive for myself, why should that be paid from a joint account? That will only lead to discussions. Of course things would be different if one of us wouldn’t have a job, or wouldn’t be earning enough to live a healthy life. It all depends on the circumstances.

In my opinion it’s more useful to look at grams of protein per kcal. You can only eat so many calories in a day, so that dictates your protein intake for a large part. If you eat 2000 kcal worth of peanuts, you’d ingest 80 grams of protein. With chickpeas that would be 110 grams and with chicken breast 425 grams. You don’t eat just protein rich things, so the higher the value, the higher your chances of ingesting enough protein when combined with (other) vegetables, grains, rice, oil, etc.

I know that some people will read this comment as if I’m promoting meat consumption, so let me add that I firmly believe that the world would be a better place if we ate a lot less meat. I’m just using these examples for demonstration purposes, as they’re all at the right side of the graph. It’s always an option to supplement with a plant based protein powder.
