I joined .ml because the devs are there.
Then I interacted with people, and realized that was a big mistake.
Spent some time on LBZ, but the admin is making a few too many choices for the users (I’ll block my own assholes, thanks)
So now I’m on sh.itjust.works
We can apply a purity test here (ie. what qualifies as a university) but… why except for pedantry?
Well, because it’s only true for a veeeeeery narrow definition of “university”. If you include other schools, there are British ones that predate it by three centuries. If you don’t require current operation in the same building, or allow name changes, there are ancient Greek ones that predate it by more than a millenium.
What is that supposed to represent???
Z values are measurement of how many standard deviations something is from the mean. 95% of your values fall between -2 and +2. Most “interesting cases” are about outliers, something that’s very uncommon. If it’s common, you don’t tend to write a paper about it. Nobody cares if someone had a slightly above average tumor, but if they have 50kg tumor, that’s publishable.
The survivorship bias plane shows a world war 2 chart of where the bullet holes were on planes. The conclusion famously isn’t to armor those parts often hit, but to armor the parts that weren’t hit, because no planes hit there returned to be recorded.
To be fair, a hundred pages wouldn’t fit in the margins
I learned that I can do a great anime-protagonist haircut, but now that I’m not in my early 20s anymore that’s not really my style anymore.
On the other end of the spectrum, if you just trim the tips off of your perpetual ponytail/braid, that’s easy too.
Everything in between needs practice, and ideally the ability to look at the back of your head.
I recall being a grad student, and one of my friends was super happy their paper was mentioned. The context was basically “Contrary to claims by [friend et al]…”
At least she didn’t tamper with the safety shield or the guide. That would be dangerous!
I can eat the stuff that literally kills him. At home. Without worry!
“isn’t it amazing how Africa and South America seem to fit together? I wonder what caused that”
“I dunno, probably magic”
Wether or not Homer’s writings are part of the Epic Cycle is very much a matter of… strong opinions of historians. There’s good reasons to include them (They’re about the same thing) and not to (Written later, and not lost, like all the other ones, so it makes the discussions annoying). We only know about most of the epic cycle because people wrote about the poems and made summaries and cliffnotes.
No, it’s more that making rich people richer isn’t a rising tide
I got modernized out of being a parttime worker at the library, when they switched from barcodes to RFID and they didn’t need someone to scan the books anymore.
Which was kinda sad, because while that was boring, helping people find stuff was great. It’s been nearly 20 years and I still can’t stand an unalphabetised bookshelf, or one where the spines don’t line up.
Nowadays, I’m a safety consultant, and I get to fire clients. The most fun one was when they copied my signature on a plan that I specifically told them was illegal. I found out when I got a letter saying I committed environmental crimes for agreeing to said plan.
And US standards are nothing compared to EU GSR requirements. All sorts of mandatory safety systems are required nowadays.
Ohhh it’s an “at first” take? Thats kinda not how the meme works. I know the whole story, but that would normally have one person smiling, the other not.
Why the double smile?
You need to boil your string beans more, I can still see some green
Huh I remembered wrong. Thanks for the correction
It unlocked the cheats. So you could enter other codes, like Scourge and Mitzi, which gave infinite health and all weapons (or the reverse).
I played that game SO much, and was so terrible at it.
