The downside to this simple test is that most societies that have languages that begin left to right will read the left column first, familiarizing themselves with the verbiage of the content, then read the right side after already knowing what the words will be.
It would be interesting if the right and left columns were different text.
Another thing is that the one on the right is obviously more contrasted which makes it more readable on a small screen no matter what.
A third column entirely in bold is needed.
Iām also not sure about the āmore in-depth understandingā argument. Just because you can read it faster doesnāt mean you understand it better. In fact it might be the opposite.
Not to mention the big headline which immediately tells you how to feel.
Yeap and that sort of thing should be part of oneās mental model of a language. So Iād suspect that most English speakers would do that with said block of text.
On an unrelated note, the things that often spread from one language to another are often common expressions and idioms and I donāt know myself on why that happensā¦
Itās been awhile since Iāve felt my my magnet buzz in the wild. Walked past the anti theft thingies going into the library at school this morning and my earbud started humming, then my magnet started vibrating. Starting this morning out pretty well besides remembering what those security things are called, thatās going to bug me lol
They are magnetic bit tag security gates. The inserts in the books are magnetic strips that exist in only one of two statesā¦ magnetized or notā¦ 1 or 0ā¦ hence a ābit tagā. If magnetized, the gate will sense the vibration of the metal strip as a disturbance in the magnetic field itās generating.
massive storms, floodingā¦ wildfiresā¦ woke up this morning with the worst wildfire smokeā¦ headacheā¦ eyes burningā¦ lungs irritatedā¦ nobody is happy.
I have a prepper streak, so Iām not totally hosedā¦ just bored
Need to get a proper generator, but currently using my lawn equipment batteries with a large inverter station that takes them all, itās pretty good for 12-24 hours of room amenities such as fan lights wifeās cpap etc
But I need more amps longer term for something like appliances
This has me thinking, because the only thing I actually worry about is sump pump, house I grew up in has left me with sump pump ptsd
We have a battery back up pump, with a deep cycle batteryā¦ fairly nice system, but itās lacking something to put me at easeā¦. No battery gauge
I understand run time will be based on duty cycle, which will depend on how much rain we got or environmental conditions
But I currently have no indication how far I am away from a dead battery,
Iāve seen cheap little standalone 12v dc voltmeters and also a little golf cart battery version with an alarm
But Iām left with the missing value, of whatās the lowest voltage the sump pump battery will run at?
I could read the label but I expect it will just say what the pump āis designed forā not what it will run at
Itās also weird every time I see an article about an area in Florida I live close to on national news because I can see pictures on the article and go āI was there last weekā¦ah shitā
