Both? Are they combined into a hybrid port that works with either protocol?

Palau, Tuvalu, and Micronesia do not evoke much significance

Well, that’s why I kinda sorted the list by “relevance”. Still, you should at least mention top 5-6 opposers if you’re going to bother with any abstainers.

What’s funny is that lots of people outside Prague are racist and most of them make no effort to hide it. Our nation very much prides itself in dark humor and very few topics are taboo, we even have racial and Auschwitz jokes. However, most people are oblivious to what’s happening in the area so even if you made a really good point for Palestine and composed it into a joke, it’s not going to resonate with any audience. Maybe university students (though a great deal of them are pro-Israel so you might get cringey faces and boos).

It is possible none of us will live to see Czechia vote against the interest of Israel as all parties support it and there is pretty much no organized pro-Palestine movement. Israel says we’re their top partners in the eastern hemisphere, which means a lot because most countries are in the eastern hemisphere, including itself. At least, aid toward them is not nearly as popular among politicians and citizens as for Ukraine (we have a sizable, well-behaved Ukrainian minority already and took the most refugees per capita at the height of the crisis).

As for why pretty much every politician is either oblivious or bootlicking Israel: see my comment under a post about the shredder escapade 4 months ago

Yup. Israel is treating them like land that’s free to colonize, when in reality a nation (albeit one with unstable government, and only recently UN-recognized) lives there.
Similarly, Japan can’t claim it’s “defending itself” if it hypothetically performs violent acts in Lebanon.

That’s why I didn’t specify which kind. I knew some laptops had a DSL or dial-up modem inside for use with any telephone sockets on the go.

This is hilarious

Some clients make it worse by not wrapping text in code blocks. Please use > at the start of each line (including blank ones between paragraphs) to make a quote block. If you need a newline (such as in poems), end the line with 2 spaces and just one line break. If you really need to put non-code inside a code block (such as ASCII art or this), the best practice is to use the following syntax:

```text
bla bla bla
```

This specifies text as the syntax-highlighting language (which obviously means no highlighting) rather than whatever the default is (Java?).

Two RJ ports on a laptop? Some of us are lucky to get one!

Why list a select 15 abstainers in the summary rather than the 14 voting against? Besides the obvious ones (Israel, US, Czechia), there’s Hungary, Argentina, Paraguay, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Palau, Nauru, Malawi, Tuvalu, Tonga and Micronesia.

Well, then you’re going to hear

most of the time, much like Spotify.
(Last time I was in a Spotify-“enhanced” waiting room was 6 years ago so no idea if that still holds.)

I don’t think they would destroy your devices but I do have a non-PD power-only triple-ended retractable cable and it is shoddy.

In the Czech Republic, BILLA uses them and they respond to the RFID reader on my phone. It’s a different kind though, most have black-white-red displays.

Can’t wait for somebody to hack them, the displays are certainly neat. Especially if they manage to add it to an existing Home Automation network without extra hardware.

AFAIK, they use RFID now so they must be changed manually but maybe someday, they will devise a price-gouging scheme involving face detection and tracking people with security cameras.

“Here comes this lady that always buys four cans of dog food despite the last price increase! Let’s notch it up it by another 20%!”

That picture does not make it clear that the labels refer to regions, not elements. A clearer explanation of set operators is the following:

1. B (Set B)
2. A ∪ B (Union of A and B)
3. A (Set A)
4. A \ B (A minus B; notation varies)
5. B \ A (B minus A)
6. A ∩ B (Intersection of A and B)

I am correct if we assume

• Left set: “Letters in ‘KAMA’”
• Right set: “Letters in ‘BLA’”

The exclusive region of the left set will only contain K and M. The left set will contain K, M and A, the last one is also a member of the right set.

If we assume it’s about letters, then the sets would need to be like

( KM ( A ) BL )

Chart bitches be like: “The y-axis does not start at 0! Misleading!”

Diagram enjoyers be like: “It mathematically cannot because it’s a logarithmic scale, which is the only way this data can be reasonably visualized; but I suppose they should have made the y-labels bigger and add minor horizontal gridlines so even people like you notice that.”

You are correct. Self-deprecation is overdone in this corner of the internet so we’ve grown numb to it, while a live or TV audience largely hasn’t, as evidenced by the laughter. As I said, they use many other kinds of humor too, which might appeal to you. JO is known for slandering his show, haircuts, nationality etc. but not too often.

I’m not saying either is good use of Venn diagrams (as opposed to the provided xkcd comic). A better “mathematical” way to express the relation is simply “KAMA + BLA = KAMABLA” (yes, the mathematical sign “+” is not used for concatenation in math but you get the point).

The tweet would work if we assume:

• Left set A contains words that include “KAMA”, notably “KAMA” itself
• Right set B contains words that include “BLA”, notably “BLA” itself
  • Their intersection A ∩ B contains words that belong to both sets, notably “KAMABLA”.

Is it a technically correct Venn diagram? I’d say it could be, given the above weird assumptions.
Is a Venn diagram the correct tool for the job? No.

As for JO’s example with sea creatures: if we assume

• A is a set of dolphins
• B is a set of sharks
  • their intersection is an empty set: A ∩ B = { } because no dolphins are sharks

JO’s example might work if

• A was a set of properties of dolphins
• B was a set of properties of sharks
  • their intersection includes “lives in the ocean”: A ∩ B = {“lives in the ocean”, …} because “lives in the ocean” is both a property of dolphins and a property of sharks

However, this essentially turns around the convention “sets are defined by properties and include objects” to “sets are defined by objects and include their properties”, which is in my opinion even more cringey than considering “words containing ‘BLA’” a notable set. (From a mathematical standpoint. The entire “Kamabla” thing is pure cringe in the practical sense.)
