Here is your chance 😄 1968 Krakatoa East of Java - Full movie | Popular Film

I was instructed very early to set up my writing desk at home so that the window is on the left and also to put the lamp on the desk on my left and it was explained to me with the light/shadow argument.

I'd guess the latter is correct.

I certainly remember that majority of people in Israel were right-handed. I remember two classrooms there. One, from a short Hebrew language course. It had windows on the left. Another, from a short professional upgrade course. It had windows on the right. I don't remember my kids' classrooms though.

I don't know the answer for the first question, but the answer for the second is, definitely no.

Maybe you should've added, for clarity, "looking towards the blackboard in a head-up position" 🙂. I attended different schools and different classrooms and the only ones with windows not on left were in basement with no windows.

I remember, left. I think, it was intentional.

Here is another evidence that math is not a science: in these science forums math seems to be one of the rarest topics.

Thanks a lot.

I'm talking about people who say, for example, that the real number defined in the Cantor's diagonal argument is counted for in the last row of the list.

Where do I set or cancel the emails which are automatically sent to me on new comments etc.?

Today I learned that there is an entire international subculture of ignorant jerks bent on refuting Cantor.

I didn't hear it as a teenager because there was no second opinion then 🙂.

Perhaps you're right. I just think that the humor of this joke is apolitical:

You know as well as I do that correlation does not imply causation. E.g. Far more religious people than atheists reject vaccinations. Far more religious people than atheists are on the Right. Or. Uneducated vs. educated. Etc.

Me too.

Being an idiot is not political. There are plenty of anti-vaxxers on both sides. And were there before Covid, too.

But how is this humor political?

Details matter here. It depends. Which humans? How were they trained? What parameters were given for the analysis?

And the pressure wave went around the world seven times!

The Pompeii story was well known and popular in the USSR. I guess it was "promoted" there thanks to the Russian painting, The Last Day of Pompeii - Wikipedia.

Martinique is a bit far from here, but the Collectivité de Saint-Martin is around the corner. I'll visit there at some time perhaps. P.S. In fact, Martinique is close on the map - it's just more difficult to get there from here than to St. Martin, because of the Dutch part, Sint Maartin.

The story of that convict, with a bit more details (he was jailed again later) is mentioned in the Krakatoa book. Ludger Sylbaris - Wikipedia
