Conversely, I know several couples who have gone back, especially after child rearing. What people want is far more complicated that "single family homes", but a range of preferences. Most prefer a detached home from any thing no

I think born with a condition such as that is always (mentally) easier than losing some capability, especially if you are grown. If you are born without sight, it only exists as an abstract concept for you.

Memory is a funny thing - much of what we "remember" is created on the fly, based on aggregates. I also have a clear memory from around this age that is impossible.

They were pointing out that with meat stocks it depends what went into the pot - a good home made (or restaurant) one typically already has enough to make it “gel” in the fridge. The box types you mostly get in a store didn’t have this, so

FWIW I’ve had some good results for technical documentation in RST markdown with sphinx for generation. You can develop latex header details for detailed templating for pdf output, etc. while keeping the html more simple if you want .

I've read the main contributor to microplastics is car tires. Do you have an idea if these types of consumer containers are a significant source? Agree the incentives are screwed up, and that could help.

All fiction is anchored in "its" time to some significant degree. SF & Fantasy give the author more freedom to place a story, but as you note the author is incapable of entirely divorcing themselves from their context. Inten

Versions of this have been in use since the 90s, but haven't really made a dent in the systemic issues that cause these delays. What do you think has changed to make that different now?

I think it's more that Wolfram has stepped on enough toes that he earns takes like this. He's an interesting character, and rare in that is his both obviously very intelligent, and yet not nearly as intelligent as he thinks he is.

This is an interesting question to answer in a way that works regardless of mathematical background; let me try something a bit handwavy. The way people are taught about the real numbers is typically a progression, you work with integers as

mathematicians have spent a lot of time investigating objects that lack parts of the normal algebraic structure. In a way it's fields like the real numbers that are the unusual (rather than "normal").

Complexity of the definition isn’t particularly interesting, the properties of the object being defined can be. The reals are stranger than most people realize.

Hell, sometimes their parents argue about it. The best defence against this I suspect is to have a clearly communicated, unambiguous grading scheme, but this can be difficult to do in an even handed way. I had one undergrad prof whose polic
