   I understood the joke. If you like, I could explain why my post was funny?

   I think 'let things die so you don't have to feel the pain of how other people might change them' is a pretty negative outlook on things

   You mean, for small x, sin(x) ~= x? I've been thinking for a while and I can't see a way that it's like that

   Sounds like you have a pretty uneven relationship, if one of you has that much higher friendship than the other

   This is great, I got Deoxys. Roughly how many Pokemon are too big in either height or weight to match that of a human?

   Quoting from the article (which quotes from the paper): "Note that I am not even attempting to find an analogy for the gluonic gravitational form factors that would help you understand them. They're described in the paper as &quot

   I think a good rule of thumb is 'check what accuracy you need your answer to, and then include all effects relevant to that precision'. If you needed an answer accurate to four significant figures, then you'd include relativi

    Yeah right, I might've put in a bid for a tenner if they'd asked me

    I've seen him a few times on PMQs and I thought this comment was a reasonable description

    It's much more reasonable to think about changing the cosmological or galaxy formational models than it is to consider adding FTL neutrinos. I remember thinking the FTL neutrinos were nonsense as soon as I saw it. You're right tha

    I only meant that it would make more sense to replace 'real-world' here with something like 'human technological'

    Pretty mind boggling that there were Babylonians solving simultaneous equations, and people knew Gaussian elimination in 3rd century BC China. I wonder if the simultaneous equations were actually used to guide any decisions made by Babyloni

    There are quite a few east Asian students in the city where I live, and especially the girls like to do photo shoots around town. They go to lengths to get shots without other people in, but I always got the impression they're doing it

    I like drawing. I started a few years back mushing paints around to express my emotions, moved on to basic faces in pen over a couple of years, and now I'm doing pencil portraits. Part of what I enjoy about it is that you're expre

    Do I now fall into the category of people who are bullshitting because they didn't do their reading properly?

    Really interesting to hear your experiences. I guess it makes sense; why would ChatGPT be able to give detailed answers about the contents of books if it's only read summaries etc. posted on the internet It sounds like an important nex

    Don't you want to look for something like brain/body mass ratio and see how that correlates with intelligence?

    Yeah, I learnt touch typing as a teenager with no instruction and as far as I'm aware most of my friends also did. My mum used to type with one finger at that time but I think by now even she would struggle to find a use for this tool

    Thanks that's nice to know, I like to think he did make it :) He was lying sprawled out on the road and he seemed to fold in his wings ok after I picked him up, so I guessed they weren't broken

    by joe__f 4y ago

    Yeah I did think about taking him to an animal rescue centre, in the end he seemed like he didn't want me around any more so I just left him to it, hard to tell I guess

    Awh yeah, I see quite a lot of blackbirds and I always look out for one with a broken eye. I haven't met him yet, it was back in the summer some time

    It wasn't a crow it was a blackbird [1], they're smaller and definitely lower down the food chain. If a fox came by while he was still on the ground it might have eaten him, they don't normally come out in the daytime though

    I saved a blackbird's life once. He was flying low across the road near my house and I saw him get hit by a car. So I went over to stand in the road and make sure the other cars coming drove around him, and I picked him up. One of his
