adding to abnorc’s excellent answer - circuit diagrams are all drawn as if charge carriers are positive (this is called “conventional current”), but because electrons are negative, this can get very confusing when you’re dealing with components where the flow of charge is one-way only (diodes, transistors, batteries, photometers…)

that’s not arbitrary - the hour hand of a clock mimics the shadow of a sundial.

a big Lemmy instance is a manageable cost for a few well-paid people to run out of their own disposable income.

i read it as - the Premium money is mostly going to YouTube HQ, instead of to video makers.

They don’t do any parenting, either. Nor do siblings ever team up. Baby octopus just has to take care of itself, alone.

It’s weird, they’re so intelligent, but don’t teach anything to the next generation.

Can confirm, at least for Acast distribution, I generally get no ads when I’m not in an English speaking country at the time of download.

However, iHeart podcasts are always absolutely crammed full of ads everywhere.

I was trying to help you see how you misunderstood, but sure. Beep boop.

whoosh

Mehta sounds like Meta, Fasbuk sounds like Facebook. it was a joke.

you can, i can’t, locally.
