I genuinely can't figure out the point you're trying to make.

There's trade offs to everything. Just because it can't be extruded into wire doesn't mean it can't be cast for example. If it's not ductile it can maybe be supported by a more rigid structure. It totally depends

What's the point in telling the public any of this anyway? Was there any reason for these people's deaths to be in the news? It has no effect on people's lives.

I'm currently seeing it like the introduction of the ipad. At first I was snarky about "what is this even for? It's way too expensive. Why would anyone use one? It's just a big phone" And they were mainly bought

You must be american if you think it's that easy. I think american don't realise how brits end up learning both our versions of words and theirs too because so much TV is american.

The Scunthorpe problem In my experience Americans are shocked that it's perfectly fine to say that someone's black in the UK.

That definitely must've been early. I would've thought Gaiman of all people knows how easily English humour can get lost in translation. Often even when not changing the text

For me the issue is that using C++ brings every single feature in with it. It's very easy to hire developers and they know the entirety of the C language, but using C++ has every feature you could ever want and multiple ways of achiev

The issue with 1 is that it only works until you pass an array into a function by pointer, then the macro no longer works. In my experience it's most likely that a function will write past the bounds of a buffer that's been passed

Is that with limited food in those 72 hours, or no food at all? I sure hope it's the former!

Probably just as much e-waste as currently where people feel the need to constantly upgrade every few years for minor improvements

The aim of the covid vaccine was to have it available as soon as possible. We still don't really have enough information about how it will mutate in the long term Influenza is well understood by now and has had decades to research

It is absolutely possible to design those bikes, but in order to strengthen the frame you're going to have to use heavier materials and components. So then to support a person that's double the weight, your bikes are all now also

by ChrisRR 3y ago
It depends how tall and how overweight you're talking. I suspect most places cater for one standard deviation of height and weight. Two, maybe? Three probably not. There's no single threshold to say you're fat and you'r

Just look at how people were programmed into believing that masks were bad. At best they could save lives, at worst they were an inconvenience. But some people acted like you had just punched them in the face if you asked them to wear one

Depends on the sub. If someone ever asks about joining reddit my first recommendation is to unsub from all the defaults. That's where most of the idiocy of the general public is
