• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  He doesn’t do “better”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  But that’s already how math is taught. Examples, word problems, discussion of applications. It helps students grasp the concepts to know their purpose and use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a child of the 90s we grew up with PC Political Correctness. Is that WOKE but just in a different form?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  PC is what people call basic politeness when they don’t wanna do it.

  Respecting basic human dignity for outgroups is a core part of being woke, for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is it ok to call a woman “sir” in your opinion?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  By accident? Probably fine as long as it’s not a pattern.

  On purpose? No, that’s shitty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the United States; is it illegal to use a single serve wrapped slice of Kraft cheese as a postcard?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You can use any piece of cardstock. I used to cut rectangles out of cereal boxes and use those.

  I think it does have to be cardstock or similar weight, though; cheese might not meet the requirements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Blame OP, she’s the one who sent me back in time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately in that circumstance, I’d likely be a horrible vector for disease. Not much chance of survival if I spread devastation wherever I go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Traveling Salesman is NP-Hard, yet Uber Eats delivery route optimization algorithms exist⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Finding the best route is NP-complete. Finding a route is trivial. Finding a pretty good route is good enough for their purposes.

  Also keep in mind they’re not to much trying up find the best route between static stops as trying to minimize time between pickup and dropoff for a list of (origin, destination) pairs, constrained by staggered start times for the pickup origins. It’s fundamentally a different problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not, though. Shirts have sleeves. Shirts cover the chest, armpits, and shoulders. Tanks are at best athleticwear and at worst underwear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Finally picked up Cassette Beasts when it went on sale and my kids and I are really enjoying it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: You can browse reddit with a VPN by using RedLib⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  yes, but: why would I want to?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One of the best on N64⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’d only played the SNES version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should visitors to a country (tourist / visa-holders / people staying temporarily) have the right to criticize the government? When should an immigrant have the right to criticize the government?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Should doesn’t enter. They do have that right, it’s a human right, the right of free expression. Doesn’t depend on nationality or location, only humanity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are most people here left-wing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Quibble: Many here are explicitly leftist, in the a leftist-not-liberal sense, and will even use “liberal” derogatorily. So, progressive, yes, but liberal, not necessarily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly the current situation.

  And that includes cryptographic techniques, by the way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does one snap their fingers?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Press your middle finger and thumb together with your pinky in the hollow of the gerl of your hand and your ring finger slightly overlapping it at the base of the thumb. Move the thumb out of the way to the side, allowing the middle finger to accelerated down to strike the spot where the ring finger meets the base of the thumb.

  How I learned? In a dream. I literally woke up snapping my fingers and I’ve been able to do it ever since.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best political movie? And what is the best apolitical movie?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dave and The Princess Bride

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My neighborhood is my “small community”. I don’t need to leave the city for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American and British English spelling and pronunciations⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s “grey” not “gray”. I don’t know which side prefers which, I just know what I prefer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a non leftist version of this website?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh shit, it is that guy. A drama in three acts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, in the 1980s we downloaded games from the radio⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  mmmm, that’s the good stuff

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So I can keep the waterproof case sealed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What art style you want to reproduce?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  JC Leyendecker

  hands down, my favorite 2D artist

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does Google make money from Gmail, the google calendar, drive or other services when used with third party front ends?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Many people pay for additional storage on Google.

  Plus tying your online identity to Google means you’re more likely to use their other services.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you work hard enough, your work will [pay off].’ And that’s not true.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, yeah. But there’s also plenty of times where you can’t capitalize on good luck without a fair but of hard work. Generally, to succeed, a combination of luck, work, and help will all play into that success.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how tf do you warm up plates?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Diners put food on a special counter called a “pass” that has heat lamps above it. This keeps the food warm, and the plates warm. Keeps the counter warm, too. A lot of them store plates above the pass, an area that’s also pretty warm all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Titles Are Written Like This?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  articles and prepositions are exempt

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you do if you encounter a skunk?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wait for the skunk to leave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  we’re all doing it, too

  I’m replaying Final Fantasy Tactics Advance right now and it’s just as good as ever
