I believe the term for height from base is called prominence. The highest one can climb is Denali in Alaska, at around 5500m. Obviously omitting mountains that have their bases on the ocean floor like Mauna Kea ofc.

Given enough apocalyptic religions one of them would be right, but I think that religion doesn't exist yet.

You know that meme where a guy in uniform was giving lessons to a few cobras? This is that uniform. He was a member of the Malaysian fire and rescue service.
He passed away a while back though, from, yup, cobra bites.

Fun fact: the creator of Counter Strike, Minh Le, is left handed. The original view models were modelled left handed, and a setting in the game mirrors the view models to be right handed albeit making them technically incorrect. It's thanks to him being a leftie that CS as a AAA franchise has settings to customize the player character's handedness.

This article got it the wrong way with regards to leap seconds. Days getting longer means the earth takes a bit more than 86400s to spin a full day's rotation. That is a surplus, which accumulates over time, and we've added 20 something leap seconds to compensate for it. Days getting longer is what's been happening all this time since 1901.
What scientists have been observing in the past decade are days taking slightly less than 86400s which creates a deficit that accumulates to the negatives that had to be corrected by having a skipped second instead of a leap seconds.
If the negative leap seconds is correct then the days are getting shorter, not longer. If days are getting longer than we're having to insert positive leap seconds as per routine, not a negative one.

Really hope that Malaysia's bid to be the data center alley of SEA would be the check and balance to this new law for future gomen. In some aspects a broad oversight can be beneficial to check the influence of Big Tech without lengthly legislative process but we also don't want the gomen to blindly follow ccp's lead in building a firewall around us citizens.

What things you discovered on your own, that is actually already known and named for a long time? For example, you observe a phenomenon, you write it down, but didn't look it up further for lack of words. Years later, you chance upon the exact same thing on Wikipedia.
*EDIT: Thread extended to Merdeka + Malaysia Day celebrations* ## 🇲🇾 Unfurl the flags! It's Merdeka Month! 🇲🇾 Welcoming any and all submissions around both Merdeka and Malaysia Days. Let's add our mark to this long-running tradition, for future us and our children to look back on. This year's might be ordinary, it might be the extraordinary, it might be the last, for the few of us, for all of us. Only time will tell. But as I said, every mark made, every record added, counts. Enough downer talk, raise our Jalur Gemilang to celebrate that this year, it still flutters free in the wind! 🇲🇾 ### *Malaysia Madani: Tekad Perpaduan Penuhi Harapan* --- ::: spoiler ITAP PRN15 Welcoming pictures from you lemmings around today's elections.

I mean, I wanted to start work on it, but if someone's already released/working on one then I'd just happily use those instead. Also, the absence of a thing usually means it's not possible to have. In my mind I think it's easy to have userscript code make API posts on behalf of the user, but maybe somehow in the intricate layers of tech it's made impossible or tedious. If so, I'd like to know before I learn it the hard way.
I'm having my comments I made the past few days receive zero engagements. It's not just me losing the early bird lottery too; my replies to a highly engaged comment has zero likes, while several comments immediately after me has double digits. It's nothing incendiary at all, just normal people's comments. But something just tripped the enigmatic AI and thenceforth I'm shadow banned. ### Why you should know this? Because YouTube is being a thought police between creators and their communities. It feels to me like 99.999% of creators on YouTube have no idea that this is happening, that honest to goodness people's engagements are never going to reach them on the platform; they're being silently silenced, by an AI that is figuratively a black box. Look at this screenshot. If that's not damning evidence you tell me what is. |![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/YOnGDZ3.png)| |:---:| The comment is straight up gone when viewing with a logged out tab.

Hello fellow nyets! I've been meaning to set up PotW as a thing for this community, but I got distracted, and the low traffic isn't helping. It's a chicken and egg problem. But now it has been directly suggested to me so I gotta make it happen. Every Monday, the top post from the "top week" list will be selected as the week's PotW. It would be featured in the top of the sidebar. ### [post your pictures!](https://monyet.cc/create_post?communityId=39) As always, feedback and suggestions are welcomed! Adjustments will be made accordingly. --- P.S. mod applications are implicitly always open. I'm looking for people who has more photography knowledge than me and has a lot to share wrt content and advice. :)

Hello everyone. Welcome to the community's first pinned post! 📌 I'm thinking of doing weekly/regularly cycling pins for casual discussion on the topic of transportation in Malaysia, to get the wheels spinning. A few topic ideas off the top of my head: - sharing good/bad personal experiences/confessions with regards to taking the various modes of transport - tips, tricks, and lifehacks for the various modes of transport - off the beaten paths to take and explore - ideas on improving modal choice (i.e. access to transportation modes that isn't cars) - nerding out on transport modes and lines you wish exists, alternative transit diagrams, etc. - transportation history/future - comparisons with other countries - universal access Topic ideas welcomed, here and on all subsequent meta-posts. Full-feature posts on such topics even more so! 😆👍 Thank you. ![](https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/Copy_Of_3ec_NK_NSTfield_image_socialmedia.var_1555221549.jpg)
