JS "idiomatic" way to cast to boolean. But could just be written as !window.chrome instead.

That is the fallacious paper millionaire argument. They have more than enough liquidity, can take loans against their "non-liquid" wealth, and are anyway working with multi-year plans to sell assets and have enough liquidity. I believe this is also explained in https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/ and there they also explain that the US market cap is bigger than their stocks and so. So they could sell a lot in one go, of course losing "efficiency", but the market would be able to cope without any issue.

I think we are on the same side here judging from the rest of your comment, but I find it important to refute this typical argument, because it does not help that there is some sort of billionaire apologism by saying that they "don't actually have this money in their bank account to spend".

Hate speech is not "saying that you hate something"...

Is there a Lemmy equivalent to /r/beetlejuicing yet?

The downvotes are just typical Reddit/Lemmy superiority complex, whenever some science stuff that "most people don't know" shows up, anyone saying anything different gets downvoted a ton.

Source/opinion/joke, doesn't matter, just going against the hivemind.

What about the videos recorded in Ecuador, where the same reservoir is drained on both sides of the equator and the water spins in different directions?

Edited to add the link since other users asked for it down in the replies: https://youtu.be/4IIVfoDuVIw

Edit2: check the replies below, the video is good at debunking this. But it's not super easy to notice

Celsius is literally just Kelvin but shifted... So it's just as friendly for "universal math".

Mostly yes, but they're in general oversimplified (for obvious reasons)

But it's more about offensive cyber security than necessarily the Linux part. The Linux part is just file system navigation and not much more, the rest is the "hacking" part, and that's what I'm talking about

Disclaimer: I did not complete it, but I got pretty far, and I worked in the cyber security area.

I would however say it's not a good place if you want to learn as that's not really the game's focus. There are better resources out there like overthewire and linuxjourney for that

Seems like a potential circular reference though, judging from how popular Kurzgesagt videos are.
