It was the standard English printed style in the US and UK from the 1860s until the early 20th century, gradually phasing out by the 1950s.

For printers with variable spaces, it was typical to use a hair space before the punctuation and an em space after.

For more details, see this article on the history of sentence spacing.

If there’s a new party willing to take over administration of the entire instance as-is, why not just transfer ownership of the original server?

I assume it’s because it reduces the possibility of other processes outside of the linked containers accessing the files (so security and stability).

I get the smallest phone available and don’t use a case because I don’t like the bulk.

I also figure a smaller piece of glass is less likely to break when dropped, so the size is a sort of protection in itself.

Not absolute pressure, but pressure per unit of work (i.e., efficiency).

Even if they were physically separated you’d want them to pump in sync, to maximize the pressure. So having them share electrical signals is just the optimal setup for two hearts.

It’s better, which is why we already do.

Mammals have a double circulatory system, with the left and right ventricles effectively acting as separate hearts that happen to be physically connected.

Imagine if every time you read a news report, or work of fiction, or gardening manual, or anything where the time of day is relevant, you’d need to know what longitude the text originated at and then mentally convert it to your familiar local time before you know whether the events described are in the morning, afternoon, or night.

And preceded by “it’s worse than that”.

Do most public libraries have holocaust denial works?

Legally, you could buy a used copy if you could find one.

That depends on whether the angels in question are bosons or fermions—which in turn depends on how they’re spinning (so the dance they’re performing may also be relevant).

I think it’s Staten Island.

Most people are probably at least aware that there are contexts where their basic plain-text formatting (like asterisks for bullets) will get cleaned up to a prettier format when they post it.

They may not know the name of the format or all the available features.

“Better at news than the news” is a trivially low bar.

How generative natural language works has been highly debated for over 60 years—there’s certainly no consensus most linguists would agree with. And while we have a pretty good idea how the process of facial recognition works, we know that process isn’t conducive to extracting a conventional explanation of how to recognize a particular face. (The best you could do is to make a list of features that would allow someone to eliminate all but one candidate from a small group, but that’s distinct from the process of actually recognizing someone.)

Can you explain how you recognize someone’s face? Can you explain how you balance your body and move your feet correctly as you walk? Can you explain how you speak in grammatically correct sentences without consciously thinking about the rules of grammar?

The vast majority of our experiences are fundamentally inexplicable—basically, everything that isn’t part of our internal narrative.

I think the general rule (that also applies on one-way streets, etc.) is that the pedestrian lane closest to traffic should face in the direction of oncoming traffic, so cars aren’t approaching from their blind spot.

Look at phenomena that should be totally random, and try to find evidence that they were produced by pseudorandom number generators.
