One is measured in pounds. The other is measured in pounds. Seems pretty comparable. If you're being deliberately stupid you could pretend it's a comparison between pounds and pounds per year, but everyone who is at least minimall

Alarming that that was a last minute question and an "if it makes you feel better" offer, honestly, even if it obviously went fine. On the day of my surgery I was constantly being asked what it was and on which side, by nurses, by

A downvote seems insufficient but I'm really lost for words at how to even reply to this. The tone of reasonableness while posting absolute bonkers insanity is alarming.

Human brains are similarly finely tuned and have similar knobs, it seems to me. People with no short term memory have the same conversations over and over again. Drunk people tend to be very predictable. There are circuits that give us an o

I wouldn't be as harsh as that, but "what is a web server" feels very out of place in how basic it is, and the final one that basically just says "read the docs" maybe also doesn't quite land.

He was telling direct lies to board members about personal conversations with other board members. How is this reconcilable? I've never been anywhere near these circles but if an executive is so completely disdainful of your oversight

I tend to keep different sessions open for different ongoing topics, and that's what I notice when I start a new one. It's very easy for it to fall into its default sterile, focus grouped, conversation-flowchart mode. Longer conve

You get that these studies aren't actually measuring pain, right? They're measuring things like "how the patient rates the pain on a scale of 1-10". The difference between a "genuine" placebo and a "psycho

In general it may be the latter. Portia spiders in particular, though, will observe a target, observe their surroundings, then navigate a complex path around and through structures that block their vision of the target to reach a destinatio

Good lord, I've gone a long time without knowing what that was all about. First time I heard it I assumed the lorry had a broken reversing beep speaker or something!

I think you have ideas about these types that make them seem overcomplicated! Either that, or I'm way smarter than the average programmer and really am massively wasting my talent :) but if you ask me the first is much more likely. I

Rust genuinely will stop you, though. You can't take a Result<T> and get an Ok(T) out of it unless there's no error; if it's an Err then you can't continue as if you have a T. It doesn't force you to do someth

I don't understand why the other commenters are telling you off. Your initial point was restricted and well made and there doesn't seem to be any relevance to the tangent he tried to go off on after you restated it at his request.

Which is, incidentally, the exact same way you do it in a non-compulsory voting system. Spoiled ballot is a signal that you cared enough to get off your arse and vote and deliberately chose none of the candidates, so you might be reachable

Arguing that gun violence is bad all round is fine. But this isn't that? It's exploiting the special emotive value of the term "school shooting" - something that will obviously be read to refer to a specific kind of circ

Presumably you're implying an average over British pronunciation also, but if you ask me that's even more of a leap than over the American. Like the other chap said, it basically sounds like a West Country accent.

The odds increasing from 2% to 3% mean it's 3% likely to hit us, which is more than 2%, yes. But the steady increase so far does not imply a continued future increase, that the true probability is much higher. He is addressing a norm
