I mean that is true of basically all structures and materials. It’s just the coastline problem. How long is the coastline? Depends on the level of precision you apply and the exact time you measure. Theoretically it is infinite if you keep getting more and more granular with it. That’s not helpful or meaningful for general purposes though.

That’s not entirely true. We don’t have just one hole going through us. Our holes branch. We have 3 intakes (2 nostrils, 1 mouth) and 2 outputs (1 anus, 1 urethra)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just answer the question you fuckin' nerd⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Is “topologist” a job? Like someone who specializes in telling you how many holes and knots exist in a given object, How to “untie” seemingly knotted things that actually topographically have no knots? Do you clock in for that, or is it a 1099 freelancer thing?

She’s a giant like the rest of his family. 6’2". And has his nose same as his other kids. Couldn’t deny her if he tried.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Necessary post procedure care for vasectomy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Tell him to wait a month before bragging about it. My father in law apparently told everyone who would listen for a couple weeks that he was shooting blanks, so no more kids (the man has no filter). He then had to ago around and let everyone know that his last live round had actually hit the mark. That would be my sister in law.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jesus was Jewish, but Christians aren't⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
That’s because, per Christian doctrine, Jesus created a new covenant with his sacrifice that fulfills and supersedes the old laws, and put a more spiritual mercy/love-driven interpretation on the previous rigid adherence aspects of Jewish laws and traditions before.

In what language is that valid syntax?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨proportional reaction⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I love list comprehension. Best part of the language, imo. To each their own.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨proportional reaction⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Weird example. 3 nested conditionals is not the typical use case for a ternary, and 2 of the 5 branches result in a pointless a=a assignment. I agree this is bad code, but it’s just as bad and hard to parss in a normal if-else structure too:
```
if (a>b) {
    if (b>c) {
        if (a<d) {
            a=c;
        }
        else {
            a=a;
        }
    }
    else {
        a=d;
    }
}
else {
    if (b<c) {
        a=a;
    }
    else {
        a=d;
    }
}
```
In another situation, though, it’s perfectly readable to have a much more typical ternary use case like:

a = c > d ? c : d

And a pair of parentheses never hurt readability either:

a = (c > d) ? c : d

Everyone is doing 15+ under. We’re taking stop and go traffic. What are you talking about?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make it make sense ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
So, I don’t know exactly how the adaptive cruise control works. But if it is slowing down and speeding up to maintain a specific distance, that does not fix things. The idea is to maintain a specific speed such that, as the people in front of you accelerate and brake, speed up and slow down, you have enough distance to not have to do that. You should essentially match their average speed with enough gap that their braking doesn’t put them close enough to your bumper that you have to slow down yourself. Normal cruise control would be better (except mine won’t set at speeds under, I think, 20mph) because your speed wont change. Adaptive cruise would make your drive safer, maybe, keeping you from being too close or failing to react to the change in traffic speeds, but I dont think it would solve the traffic issue itself.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2hot2handle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Mansplaining is a behavior. It is a man arrogantly talking down to a woman assuming she knows less than you by virtue of being a woman or despite evidence to the contrary. If their defense to that was, “I just thought I was smarter than you and needed to demonstrate that, but it had nothing to do with your gender.” Then… well, I feel like they still need to examine that behavior.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make it make sense ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
You need to give even more space then so that them doing that doesnt make you slow down. People cutting in front of you also helps because those are the assholes causing the brake waves.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2hot2handle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Sure, my point was that a single sminstance outside of other context means that you cannot necessarily discern a pattern of behavior upon which to base your conclusion into which kind of asshole he is being. You could be innacurate in assuming he is sexist as well as assuming he isn’t. If complete accuracy is required, then you would need to not make a conclusion at all and let the comment slide without feedback until you have more data. I’m saying that it is more important to call them out than to worry about the exact accuracy, to not let the comment slide, to make sure they know that, in some way, it was inappropriate. One’s experience may lead one to make some assumptions that are incorrect in this context, but I don’t feel like that is the important part that you should critique. Either she says nothing, calls him a sexist, or calls him out but doesnt point out the sexism if there is sexism involved. I’m saying either of the latter is reasonable under the circumstances.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2hot2handle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

If you dont care about being accurate in calling out antisocial behaviour, how do you think the person expressing said antisocial behaviour will understand that interaction?

If they were being sexist and you don’t point that put, wouldn’t that be inaccurate?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2hot2handle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
She wasn’t wrong though. It does happen spontaneously in that it is happening without apparent external cause. There is an external cause, the change in pressure, but it is not apparent. And most people are aware that water boils at low pressures at room temps. He even said it was “basic thermo”, so of course a NASA astronaut would know about this basic scientific phenomenon, as would most people.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2hot2handle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Sure. But it gives the appearance if sexism. Who gives a fuck if he is being an asshole if you mislabeled the kind of asshole he is.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make it make sense ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
That’s also why the best way to relieve traffic is to go at a slow even pace without braking. Every time the someone runs up the ass of another car and brakes hard, or swerves into the “faster” lane and make someone else brake to not hit them, they cause another brake wave. If you have a few cars intentionally just hanging back and cruising with a big enough gao between them and the cars jocking in front of them, then their brake waves do not propogate behind you and eventually traffic just picks up pace again.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2hot2handle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Sure, but being an arrogant prick that thinks they’re smarter than anyone else, regardless of gender, is already a thing that should be derided. Having only a single instance of this behavior being aimed at a woman as an example of his arrogance may mistakenly lead one to attribute that to misogyny instead of a general prickishness behavior, sure. But that’s a perfectly understandable assumption to make in that situation and the mistake of calling them the wrong kind of asshole, i feel, is less of a concern than him, indeed, being an asshole.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2hot2handle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
The term “mansplaining” is not just about a man being pedantic. It is a man being pedantic or overexplaining to a woman either about something she is likely more knowledgeable on than he is or about something that is such common knowledge it should be assumed that she knows these facts as well as he does. It is a demonstration of misogyny through the assumption that you, a man, knows better than her, a woman, despite all liklihood to the contrary and yet you condescend to her anyway. It’s the arrogance and gender bias that is the problem, not the pedantry itself.
