The coin counting makes an unusual and wrong assumption that coins are all in the same base. For example, in Canada we have $1 and $2 coins to go along with our 5c, 10c and 25c coins. With the logic it described, a nickel and a looney would

To me it doesn't make sense that such models can't just have functions for things that are obviously calculatable. Not doing that adds an accuracy risk that is unacceptable, just because it scraped a page once that had the same qu

I worked one summer in a motorcycle shop where the leader was a real tyrant, and his staff was super afraid ever time he entered the room. I ended up having a hell of a heated argument with him on the last day of the gig, because he was bei

To expand on that, there is the Trick That Cannot Be Explained. Magicians always have "outs," which means an alternate ending if the expected one doesn't happen as planned. In The Trick That Cannot Be Explained, the magician

It'll certainly make it far more important for people to use the ALT tag for descriptions. People have already started protesting by making fake headlines for articles about Elon, so I have a feeling this "feature" won't

The issue I see with WSL all the time is long waits as things start up. I have no idea what it's doing, but it is painfully slow starting nearly anything up. It's like drive reads are one character at a time or something! Once it

It boils down to the reason the people who post such content refer to themselves as "creators" and "influencers." Most of the time the only thing they influence is how people spend their time at that moment. But there ar

Sunlight and nature - the two things most often cited as being good for the mind and body alike. It makes me wonder if innately this is why retired people suddenly have the urge to spend months on a cruise ship, and why Florida is home to C

I wouldn't suspect that if they didn't say that. The average has no bearing on this specific one that could very well have been empty.

Loaded? They neglect to say. Unloaded this isn't too surprising, but loaded is where the money is, and where the important specs are.

Scroll through the comments. Someone quoted a M A S H scene that uses it. It's a TV show and not a movie, but at least it's an example in the wild.

I can imagine this being the case, but the mechanics tend to be so accurate that I could see either being the case. I think the start/stop action is so quick that it likely is not damaging. But I'm clearly not an expert on this. A

Nice. I was reading the comments because I knew someone would explain the purpose of it. I have both hacking and non-hacking watches. I know what they do, but I never knew why it was something people would even care about. Changing TZ whe

I bet you could tell a lot about a city and its neighbourhoods if libraries regularly did this. It would be quite interesting. In this list, I see so many books that I either read in school, or know about because of school (fellow students

I think you'd have to look at how much revenue is created by each app they make. It might be popular, but a lot of popular things don't make money. I'm not sure if inbox was ever popular. I did try it for a few days once, tho

I prefer Xcreet, which starts with X and rhymes with tweet. I don't mind Xitter, since that's where a lot of people post from. But in English, X pretty much never sounds like sh, so it's a bit of a leap. I guess some Spanish

Most importantly, there's an established lingo that Twitter invented. All the competitors are doing everything they can to come up with something as catchy as a "tweet." It's funny how clumsy Truth Social's version

I saw someone had a 10 year account anniversary announcement on their feed, and it said something about them having been an X user for 10 years. Of course, they've only been an X user for a bit less than one year. They were a Twitter u

I agree that enough sources is close to actual proof. How is it that USA, China, North Korea and Elon Musk are all flying to space, yet never even hinting that they "know" the Earth is actually flat? So, not only the evidence prov

I used to feed newsgroups and email to BBS systems using UUCP. You could easily expect a 3 day turnaround when posting something, and seeing the initial responses. I distinctly remember thinking that this was really efficient. At the very l

There was the case when someone was deliberately poisoning Tylenol in Chicago back in 1982, killing 7 people. The man who they think did the poisoning just died two months ago, and was never charged. The three different makers of the affe

I wish they would give similar treatment to homeopathic "remedies." It's appalling to find them sold at drug stores when they've never even been proven effective in any way. You can literally give the opposite "medi

The alternate argument is that it is, in fact, collapsing, right now, or immediately about to. If it happens, everyone will be posting that same link and saying, "See, they knew this would happen 22 years ago!" Collapses are sudde

You've made De Beers very happy. Just kidding. But try to resell it, and you'll notice a discrepancy that you've not seen in hardly any other product outside of NFTs. Diamonds may be forever, but their resale value sure isn&#
