What an amazing feat from this man. Not only was he incredibly persistent but he's no dummy to accomplish something like this. You can read and study all you want but if you don't have two brain cells to rub together it's not happening. Just saying.

The Qihua plant created a "71-acre wasteland with calcium carbide residue and a 478-acre pond with its liquid waste," according to the Daily Mail. It released 15,000 to 20,000 tons of annual waste. In 2007, the Center for Legal Assistance to Pollution Victims of the China University of Political Science and Law came to the aid of W**g and his neighbors. Lawyers from the center agreed to help the villagers file their suit against Qihua and the case finally began to be processed in 2015. W**g and the other residents of the Yushutun village won an initial judgement against Qihua. The court awarded the victims financial compensation amounting to about $119,000 and Qihua is appealing the ruling.

the entire case took 16 years (pollution happened in 2001, case was won in 2017) so no, he didn't spend 16 years teaching himself law. he spend 16 years involved in a court case but he wasn't the only one involved. the people involved, including him, were represented by lawyers. the whole case was resolved in 2017 and the company lost but this is no david vs goliath story. he taught himself law for 6 years and in 2007 he managed to get a chinese law firm help him and other farmers involved in the case. he didn't represent himself. he's like chinese erin brockovich - has a sense for justice, is a hard worker, and is willing to go to extreme lengths to reach his goal. but just like erin, this man was not alone in the fight and he had help from actual lawyers.

Wow, Now he skips school and goes spending his whole life on teaching himself about law to sue chemical company for polluting his village. Even Enlin couldn't afford law books that he studied at a bookstore, and so he paid the store with bags of corn to let him sit and read, he also copied all the information by his hands. and what he could with the help of a dictionary.

I still cant believe how much time my highschool wasted of mine on pre calc when now I can barely remember how to do long division!

But what is funny to me is that is he was talking about COVID or the vaccine and it disagreed with the narrative they are pushing most people on here would make fun of him example " so he study at a local bookstore? So that makes him know what he is talking about? Sure whatever anti vaxxer!!" Sorry i just love pointing out people's double standards

He learned law from textbooks. And because he could not afford to go to College or buy the books, it took him 16 years. More importantly, he had to use science, information, statistics and infallible evidence to win his case. Lastly, he won in a court of law.

The ‘Weird Facts’ Instagram project eventually grew so large that its founder decided to branch out and create a trivia learning app. There are over 900 random, interesting, and genuine facts that you can learn and then wow your friends and family over dinner with. Some trivia might sound strange, true, but it’s all been double and triple-checked by ‘Weird Facts.’

Bored Panda has analyzed the topics of media literacy and how we can distinguish between true and false facts in quite a lot of detail before. Last week, I spoke to Steven Wooding, who is a member of the Institute of Physics in the United Kingdom, who elaborated on what kind of mindset a true, curious, impartial scientist ought to have.

 "Scientists have to be curious about how the world works and persistent in their work, as it may take years for it to pay off. Creativity to imagine what might be possible and attention to detail to gain knowledge are also very important," Steven told Bored Panda during an interview.

"We have to be open-minded to new facts and let data guide the way, rather than just what we think. On the other hand, we should also be critical of data. One experiment doesn’t make a fact. A fact comes from experiments that can be repeated and verified many times over."

According to the researcher, the advent of internet newsfeeds and platforms like TikTok and Twitter has shortened our attention spans. As a result, we tend to have a lower tolerance for long-form content that requires more focus and energy from us.

"If you feel you are time-pressured, it’s probably only natural that you don’t want to invest a chunk of time on one article but instead scan the headlines to get lots of little bits of information. I have certainly noticed myself being less likely to read a long article unless it’s something that genuinely interests me," he said that on the one hand, we’re saving time, but on the other hand, we’re staying at a very superficial level of information.

"The negative impact is that we won’t reach a deeper level of understanding of something and end up missing out. This is ironic, as people today rush around trying not to miss out on things," Steven told Bored Panda.

"It’s essential to have a growth mindset and realize that you probably know very little. We can only gain more profound knowledge of the world by investing time in exploring it. This issue goes back to short attention spans, which gives us a broad, but shallow spread of knowledge. Take the time to read a book on a subject, and you are bound to learn more," the expert gave some advice, urging everyone to build their patience for content that isn’t just bite-sized.

Meanwhile, entertainment and pop culture expert Mike Sington from Hollywood explained to me that there’s a broad range of red flags we have to look out for that might indicate that a fact or a source might be unreliable.

"Red flags to watch out for that a claim may be fake: it's outlandish, it's too good to be true, you haven't seen the claim anywhere else, you've never heard the source, the source isn't reputable, you can't find two other sources making the same claim, your gut tells you, ‘this can't be true,'" Mike told shared with Bored Panda.

"The rise of social media has decreased the reliability of information because misinformation can spread so quickly before it can be corrected," the expert said that one basic thing we can do to check the reliability of a fact is… to start off with a simple and humble Google search. We should be on the lookout for additional sourcing and evidence. If we can’t find anything, we should remain skeptical.

"Do this and think before reposting or you may be contributing to the problem. Amplification doesn’t make a claim true or accurate," he said.

an article from oct. 2021 : “physical wounds were healing, but the (post-traumatic stress disorder) is manifesting itself more all the time.”. The most beautiful is his response after accepting shooter's apology : “I am not God to make the decision to kill him or not. That’s not my decision. My decision is to be a better person and to change the world for every kid. I don’t want this to happen to anybody again. It hurts. It hurts. It really hurts. So, I am just going to keep going. That’s it.”

Mike said that sources like Associated Press, Reuters, and The New York Times can be considered to be trustworthy. "They employ fact-checkers and editors that ensure the information they post is correct. They’re basically doing the research and homework for you. There are literally too many online sources to list that can’t be trusted and should be avoided. Anyone can basically post anything they want… proceed with caution," he told Bored Panda.

"Our attention spans have been reduced to mere seconds at a time because that’s the way information and entertainment is fed to us now. People get tiny bite-sized bits of news by scrolling a Twitter feed, they entertain themselves by scrolling quickly through Instagram and TikTok. It’s creating a habit that doesn’t have to be," he said.

"The good news is there’s plenty of long-form entertainment and news available, you just have to seek it out. I believe the benefit is worth it. I’ve discovered it improves your ability to focus, it’s more calming, you retain more information, and it gives you a more balanced and nuanced view of the world.”

I read a novel once which opens with a pony getting stuck in the sand at the beach. The owner and her mother end up going "oh well, whatcha gonna do", shrugging and going home, leaving the poor thing to its fate! Then when they come back the next day and find out someone else has rescued the poor animal and taken it away they actually have the gall to be upset about it. I was so infuriated I stopped reading and never finished the book.

At the beginning of World War II, she and composer George Antheil developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes that used spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology to defeat the threat of jamming by the Axis powers. Although the US Navy did not adopt the technology until the 1960s, the principles of their work are incorporated into Bluetooth and GPS technology and are similar to methods used in legacy versions of CDMA and Wi-Fi.This work led to their induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.

This is why so many rape victims are not believed. A personal fúck you to this woman and any other people who do this and cause the real victims to be ignored.

Fun fact: in Croatian "dobar/dobri" means "good"... Guess he really was a good man

Imagine the moment after landing where everything is still and you're there, strapped into your seat, in a corn field, wide eyed and windswept from the fall. Surreal

This is not the first time he's been called out for not tipping well. Charles Barkley felt bad for a waitress stiffed by Michael and tipped her instead.

Such honourable behaviour amongst airmen was common (on both sides) during WWI and even during WWII.

Charlie Brown and Franz Stiegler: The B-17 was heavily damaged and going down, but Brown was able to get it stable again. The german air field commander said that any pilot who shoots at parachutes will be executed, and Stiegler considered the barely flying plane as parachute. He flew so close the the machine that the AA batteries couldn't shoot without hitting Stiegler, and he signaled Brown to land - which he refused. Stiegler decided to escort them out of the hostile air space

A cafe in my area had this on the menu! I ordered it, of course, but it just turned out to be a hot chocolate with a huge wad of fairy floss dumped on top of the mug. Damn. (At least it was good fairy floss).

This was in South Africa. The railway worker trained him after he he lost his legs. The baboon was paid in brandy.

Telling a lie is never good but perhaps the child was just trying to fit in. Sad that things like that happened but glad that Leno helped him out. Hopefully Leno told him about lying to people.

Sad, lonely introverts... Such judgment. How about individuals who like to observe rather than act and join immediately. The human species thrives on finding patterns and experiencing new things, when in reality we are the novelty ourselves.

Man, imagine being so rich that releasing mosquitoes into an auditorium gets you praise. On a serious note, I love Bill. He's done so much with the Foundation.

Sweet, but ... but they were both bitter and mean persons. Henry Ford expressed he liked how germany was run in the thirties, being an antisemit as well, and Edison ... well, where to begin, where to begin ... has he ever invented anything himself, not just taking credit for what competitors and employees have come up with?

Also the sequel was filmed in the same house as the first movie - the director's house. But it looks different because he used his earnings from the first movie to add an extension and generally spruce the place up.

And if you freeze the bananas first, it will be the same consistancy of a Wendy's Frosty. Soo good with a drop of vanilla.

The school I teach at played another school (we're both state/public schools but the other school always acted like they were better than other state schools) and they beat the pants off us using this move set. (I had not taught my chess kids this move set as I wanted them to develop their own strategies.) The next time we played that school, I had taught them the counter to it, so the next time we won. The next season that school suddenly "didn't have time" to play chess matches anymore.
