That's true for nuclear DNA, but there's genetic code outside of your nucleus, mitochondrial DNA, that you inherit 100% from your mother.

And that's only talking DNA, but you're more than your genetic code. All of the organelles, lipidic membrane, cytoplasm... was generated from the egg material.

We were mostly the egg.

In which context would you use Hilfeleistungslöschgruppenfahrzeug instead of Feuerwehrfahrzeug?

[–] thedarkfly 8 points 7 months ago

I find it funny to use "good night" as an exclamation. Wonder if it's a minced oath for "good God"?

Ni vs e rtoûnez nén, 40% des belges n' djåzèt nén leu langaedje nerén.

Don't worry, 40% of belgians don't speak their language either.

French speaker here, that's indeed how I understand it.

Thanks for the suggestion! I knew it but my country isn't in it :'( I could get involved to add it though...

I didn't see the FAQ, thanks!

I agree. If there was no link in the mind of the author, why would Mama Bear answer this to Baby Bear's question?

Fully agree. I've seen a lot of people going into engineering for prestige or "by default" because they weren't bad at math. It always made me a little sad because I found a lot of the courses truly fascinating and eye-opening and I wanted to nerd out with my teammates!

Dang, I did not have the same experience in education! I'm thankful that the situation seems less dire where I'm from. Professors are quite well paid, definitely upper class; while tuition costs are less than 1k€ per year (with financial help available). As they are public institutions, Universities in Belgium do lack funds and their equipment/infrastructure is sometimes in a worse state than American or UK Unis. But still not too shabby!

Yeah I can understand that sitting on a desk all day, reading and taking exams is a pretty harrowing experience for most.

It looks like it's my personal tastes that allowed me to enjoy school. And I really did enjoy it! Hopefully other people find something to do that they love.
