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

No worries. I was hesitant to post both comments, knowing they might be misinterpreted.
That might make thing overcomplified though
Oh, absolutely. Was hoping for a “I am all Hamas on this blessed day”.
For the ones not in the know:
Yes, but why would you listen to what Hamas has to say?!?!
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.

Thanks! I knew I must have missed it, but couldn’t find it.
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,…
Do you see a subway on that picture?

This is essentially a pro freedom of speech legislation.
It’s not though. It doesn’t just protect employers to call anyone whatever pronoun they want, it mandates that the preferred pronoun for trans people (and others) are not used.
It doesn’t just protect bigotry, it requires it.
bc they haven’t had as terrible of a racist past as the US
You do know the Holocaust happened in Europe right?
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.
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?
