That’s good. My first instinct would’ve been that what’s in toothpaste is plenty.

Before even wondering about the health effects, we should ask ourselves whether it actually achieves the desired goal. I doubt that.

If it doesn’t, we don’t even need to wonder about safety; we’ll just stop burning money.

Expectations.

People don’t expect a country that’s supposed to be a close ally to do actual pure evil.

Russia has always been in a different category. It’s oscillated between being an outright enemy and being a distant, somewhat-ally the West is suspicious of. Either way, Putin was never someone you trust.

When someone betrays your expectations, you have a stronger emotional response.

When you feel like your country is actually helping with evil acts, that’s another layer of emotional response.

But if someone you feel like you can’t do anything about and has always been bad anyway is being evil, again… Well it’s a bit of a “no shit, Sherlock” moment. Doesn’t spark anger in quite the same way.

Weren’t people a bit more positive about monarchy back when Elizabeth II was alive? I feel like she had a sort of mystique that made her feel more legit for some reason.

Once i completely forgot the salt in my bread. It was disgustingly bland; like, I couldn’t believe a teaspoon of salt would have such a massive effect.

But I actually salvaged it by putting salt on every slice of toast I made with that loaf.

It worked out okay!

What does debloating entail exactly?

Both are young. I think that’s about it.

I used to do it a lot as a teenager. For everything in my life. Now much less. I wonder why.

Honestly even Imperial would help at this point. Clothing sizes, in general, are based on basically clouds and dreams and vary wildly by brand or even by model.

I just wish the world standardized. I don’t care how. As long as it’s standard.

It’s wild to me that people just buy the same shoe over and over. I’m not a fashionista by any stretch of the imagination; I just have one, maximum two, pair(s) of footwear per temperature slice, and I don’t even have any formal ones.

But even I would want something new, even if my old pair had served me well.

Sadly TVs with DisplayPort support are very rare, and mine is not one of them.

Used to do this. I had issues with either the audio or the video feed randomly dying, though, so I ended up finding a way to make HDMI+USB work when I moved.

More reliable, but now that I’m starting to think about reorganizing my office, copper will no longer do for 4K120 as that’ll go over the 5-meter limit. And an optical high bandwidth HDMI+USB setup isn’t cheap.

Upsides and downsides…

I’m a front-end developer. I sometimes need to solve algebra problems. I’m pretty bad at it because I , but my knowledge that a problem is solvable by math comes in handy maybe once or twice a month. It’s just that on the few occasions that there’s algebra that I can’t figure out how to solve (maybe once a year), I may ask for help from a colleague.

Examples of cases where math comes in handy:

• Pythagoras when I need to figure out the x/y components of a diagonal distance
• Width/height calculations from a variety of parameters

In summary, as long as you know what math is capable of, you probably won’t have major issues. There will pretty much always be someone around to help with the math part if necessary.

As for calculus… I forgot all about the one calculus class I’ve taken and I’ve never suffered for it.

Wait, does it? Are joules in thermal energy per kelvin a purely linear relationship?

How is that unclear?

Falcom usually doesn’t disappoint.

Dicarbon monoxide. Wikipedia is shockingly poor in information about it, but “stable” is certainly not the first word I’d use to describe it.

What kills me is when people will mix the two in a single context.

“Between eight and 13 percent”

NO. If you’re writing one number in digits, you need to write them all the same way.

What would be a solar eclipse though

Colon Q exclamation point? 6 keystrokes to leave? Sheesh.
