People didn’t know Biden dropped out of the race until they were looking at the ballot. There is no end to the ignorance.

How do you do that? Unless they’re your kid, you don’t usually have that kind of control over another person.

I think it might be easier just to do the division.

Uh, pronouns are just words. They don’t have some innate quality that means they had to exist when the entities those pronouns describe began. He/Him is likely about as old as he/him.

Considering we’re trying to find lengths, shouldn’t we be doing absolute value squared?

This in reply to a person who took more effort to write a program that wrote out the steps for inverting a matrix so they didn’t have to do the busy work of inverting a silly number of them? Kinda sounds like they prefer really understanding and challenging work to busy work is all.

You get an offer letter that spells some of that out, but it isn’t a binding contract.

An employment relationship in the United States is presumed to be “at-will,” i.e., terminable by either party, with or without cause or notice. Indeed, a majority of employees in the United States are employed on an “at-will” basis, without a written employment contract, and only with a written offer of employment that outlines the basic terms and conditions of their employment.

They phased out back scatter x-ray like a decade ago. They only use millimeter wave, which doesn’t have ionizing radiation.

Or the result of cost cutting…

I would like some houses without people. Having a little surplus is usually a good thing. So like if some houses become unlivable, we have houses for the suddenly unhoused people.

It’s crazy how different people are. The idea of sitting through a video to do something like this is so painful to me. Like I find it useful for physical things where seeing the motion can be helpful, but I still generally find doing things that way awful. Please, please, please just give me written instructions for things. Especially if I’m going to need to refer back to it a few times (e.g. there are multiple steps that take a bit of time).

Yes, I have.

Have you tried it? Find a mirror big enough to show your whole body and press your face right up to it. Do you see your whole body? Now take a step back, do you see your whole body at the same time without having to look and up and down? Now walk several steps back and notice how much more you can see without moving your eyes.

We’re talking about 2 separate concepts is the problem.

Ok, I can see the point, but it’s not usually what people mean when they can see their whole body. In that example, you’re looking down or looking up. You never see your whole body at the same time. For your whole body to be entirely in your field of view, it absolutely does matter how close or far you are from the mirror. You can test it by going closer and further to any mirror.

The reflection being further is the point? The further away something is, the smaller it looks, so the less of your field of view it takes up, the more you can see of it.

If I put my hand on my eye, I can’t see much of it. If I pull my hand back, I can see more of it. If I put a mirror on my eye, I can only see my eye. If I put it back, I can see my face because the reflection of my face is further (i.e. smaller).

I’m very confused what you’re trying to say.

Do VPNs make that feature kind of pointless? We can’t access most things from home without going through a VPN. Every where I’ve worked (and gone to school) was like that.

Does your RSVP have options for remote vs in person? My options are “accept”, “decline”, and “tentative.” If I want to tell someone I’m remote that day, it needs to be a separate message.

Caffeine is physically addictive. You get withdrawals if you’re addicted and stop cold turkey. It does vary person to person. But most people get a splitting headache.

That’s because they are. It’s just a socially acceptable drug addiction.

I prefer something like clover to astroturf, but your local climate may vary.

The Windows is not free. The OEMs pay a license fee and that cost is passed on to people buying those computers.
