Just wait until you hear about zetta (10^21) and yotta (10^24) and their inverses zepto (10^-21) and yocto (10^-24). :D

Huh, neat! When fact-checking my statement, I just learned that there are even two more prefixes on each side of the scale: ronna (10^27), quenna (10^30), ronto (10^-27) and quecto (10^-30). They got added last year.

Believe it or not, but there are also people from outside the USA roaming the internet. They’re usually way more out of touch when it comes to US American politics, and only know the very few biggest players. You can expect a foreigner (who’s not entirely politics ignorant) to know who the president of the US is. That is basic, surface level knowledge. But even important people like the vice president, are far less relevant for people not living in the US.

You most likely also don’t know about the intricacies of the political systems of other countries. nor their sub-surface people doing their job and contributing to the system. These people are relevant and sometimes important to anyone living there.

So, why the hell should they be expected to know who some employee/hired person for a US president was?

…that aside, mocking someone for something they don’t know is just childish and counter productive. If you already put in the energy, why not use the energy to educate, instead of trying to make them feel bad?

“you’re fired!”

“lmao”

Wow, secretly overriding a decision for a permanent modification of someone else’s body… what a scumbag.

It’s probably the same kind of guy who’s going to be really disappointed and angry because his child(ren) have lost their trust in him.

there is no reason for a (non-foreach) for loop to be any more or less finite than a while loop.

for (a; b; c)
{
  d;
}

is just syntactic sugar for

{
  a;
  while (b)
  {
    d;
    c;
  }
}

in most or all languages with c-like syntax.

You people are using the local/all feed?

Am I the only one who exclusively uses the subscription function?

The tendency of society to bully people into conformity is honestly one of its worst traits.

why can humans be so incredibly shitty? 😞

Unlikely. At that insane pressure, the hull is either completely intact, or, once moving, completely imploding in a fraction of human reaction time. We’re talking about time frames of a millisecond. They couldn’t possibly have seen it coming. One moment you’re alive and well, the next moment your body is nothing more than paste.

The only evidence for them to legitimately worry about would have been from knowledge about any kind of sketchy practices and/or material choices during the building process.

It’s quite hard for me to love someone who is/has been such a leading voice for a political movement that wants people suppressed, silenced or even eradicated because of their identities and orientations…

mathematics is a human language/system.

nature just follows the laws and quirks this universe has. the plants, animals and subatomic particles will keep doing the same, regardless if we have a tool or theory that can describe what they’re doing.

sure, there are patterns everywhere in nature, but i would not go as far as to say that that makes mathematics a language of nature.

German here. We have rather shitty weather in autumn, winter and parts of spring. I for one welcome the warmth and most heat waves. 25°C and up is when I start to function and… live. I prefer heat so much over cold.

I loathe the first day of autumn and the realization that it’s gonna take more than a half year until we get some non-depressing weather again. I really hope that point is going to be late this year.
