The article says meters, not feet.

Norway does. I think it was introduced in the 1990's after Helsinki Accord observers reported the possibility of fraud. Until then, if you voted early and gave somebody else's name…

English and Old English are West Germanic, Nordic languages and Old Norse are North Germanic. Very close cousins, but neither descends from the other.

I find it weird that English apparently doesn’t have an everyday word for marine bioluminescence. It’s such an academic word. What would traditional sailors and fishermen have call…

This is true when all network delays between the synchronized device and the time reference are deterministic and accounted for in the configuration. The design of PTP assumes that…

Could have been more, but Norway was one. https://snl.no/Pål_Spilling#:~:text=Da%20Spilling%20kuttet%2...

It is certainly possible that a word may differ in gender between dialects. But the way dative is normally expressed in Norwegian dialects is that masculine words get the normal fe…

Wow! You have preserved the dative case. "i kerken" instead of "i kerka". Dative is AFAIK not part of any standard Scandinavian language, but remains in some dialects. Steadily los…

Nice!

Thank you

I like to think of it as "the law of small numbers"

Interesting how stable French has been over the centuries - at least when judging from these four lines. By no means the same, but much closer to modern French than the language of…

I am guilty of having taught that to a five year old during a hiking trip. He is now an engineer.

Basically, PTP assumes that network delays are deterministic. If that's true, it is very precise. If not, PTP is the wrong tool. NTP assumes that network delays are stochastic, and…

Reindeer do gather on snow patches in summer/early autumn to avoid insects.

Weird. The few lines on preview page look like Danish, except "runet" which looks like English "run" with a Danish past participle ending. I don't see anything that looks French. I…

They arrived in a truck, one coffin sized crate, one slightly smaller. The contents were bright read, and looked like jet engines. - la4rt

Scurvygrass ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochlearia_officinalis ) Kept many people alive who had been marooned over the winter in Svalbard and other places in the Arctic. Also g…

We all knew. I learned about CO2 greenhouse warming in high school in 1974. At a lecture at the University of Trondheim, Norway, around 1980, (in)famous physicist Edward Teller jok…
