I think PETG would've also worked. Keep in mind neither of those plastics were rare at the time. The filament form factor was essentially nonexistent though, which makes the whole 3d printing business a lot trickier.

"a == b == c" translates to "a == b and b == c", similarly "a != b !=c" translates to "a != b and b != c"

This depends on the country you're in. As far as I understand breakers here are rated for 100% the rating they are labeled as.

If the wheel speed sensors drop out they put nothing on the CAN bus, not a "0 speed" message. I think it's pretty safe to assume the controller logic here has a fairly strict timeout on how often it wants to see wheel speed m

The main thing is that when manufacturers make "low fat" variations of their food or just in general try to have less fat in the food they produce, they tend to do this by adding sugar.

Hi! The local anesthesia works poorly on me. To the point of the dentist using enough to where I can't feel my eyebrow. It's bearable but very much not fun. I've been largely just bearing down,but then recently I had a root

While I don't disagree, it still seems rather crass to immediately fire people for it. Surely you'd first tell people to knock it off before firing them? Of course that sort of assumes that the firing wasn't the end goal.

As I understand it Computer Modern is generated from strokes, so it makes sense for it to feel somewhat similar to other stroke fonts.

For me the problem with spoilers is not about knowing what is going to happen. A spoiler primes me to be on the lookout for when the spoiled thing happens, and THAT is what most ruins the experience for me. Of course a great movie can'

The real trick there is that not() isn't a function call. It's not applied to the empty tuple. The empty tuple is False, so not () returns True.

I mean the stdlib is open source too, so you could always vendor deprecated stdlib modules. Most of them haven't changed in eons either so the lack of official support probably doesn't change much.

Same here. Seems like DDG does better (but not perfect) at avoiding nonsense results than google in this case.

Mind that there's a big difference between machine learning (which these robots use) and generative AI, which is what most of the recent hype has been about. ML is by now mostly a proven technique with known limitations. E.g. being una

I think it might be easier for the blind to differentiate them than people with normal vision tbh. The designs on the face are all quite similar, but the designs on the edges are all unique.

Worst case you can clone it and GMO it into a different sex. Wouldn't be easy or cheap, but it's definitely something that's possible.

If I may amend, try a "Wow, that's beautiful! That must have taken a lot of work!" and you might keep your kid drawing long-term. It's nearly always better to praise effort over skill IMO.
