I did this today while in excel. I knew what would happen. Call of the void. The undefined void.

😬

Wait, this ISN’T how it works where you live?

Where I live (in Victoria, Australia), the bond is held in trust by the residential tenancies bond authority. At the end of the lease the landlord can try make a claim, but you can take them to VCAT (a small claims tribunal) to argue against it, and until either all parties agree, or the court orders it, the bond doesn’t get paid out to anyone.

Our laws are far from good, and still favour owners too much, but damn. Just trusting them to pay you out of their own pocket?

Wikipedia seems to not be unanimous on the brain-to-body ratio claim. There’s a discussion link next to the citation.

I’ve tried to imagine how I would gesture ‘my heart goes out to you’ vibes. In no world can I imagine a down-turned, flat palm, fingers straight and all together at about 45° (Nazi salute).

Like, if you were to give some one something (your metaphorical heart) you’d hand it over palm up. Or if you’re metaphorically distributing it like sewing seeds you would again, throw it out, palm up, hands slightly closed. Or if you’re throwing it like sand, you would have your fingers apart by the end of the throw.

In no world, does this make any sense other being a Nazi salute.

Or he’s the most awkward, weird dude in history. That is also, true, but given his other behaviour, I dunno how this could be read in any other way.

Despite the unhappy circumstances, it’s kinda nice Chinese and Americans interacting on social media.

The fact this isn’t typically possible because of bans in China is not so nice. Neither is the fact the US is going down the same road instead of proper privacy laws.

But still, kinda nice

A stupid design in that case too, though. Make people need to sit in specific seats for their handedness… Smort

Why lying with maths is so easy, the average person, even in developed countries is practically innumerate (massive hyperbole, but the fact lying with numbers is easy, still stands)

When I say strong, I mean that a trend is it dominates and defines as decade. All those things you mentioned are trends that you associate with different times, but there are far fewer things you can dress up as and people will think: ohhhh are you “from the 2000s”.

They exist, just I’d argue it’s not as strong as the 90s

I’m only just now realising fads/trends seem to be way less strong these days.

Like, there’s a 00’s vibe, sort of, 10’s vibe??? Maybe?

But nowhere near as strong as practically every decade before that.

Perhaps it’s just there’s way more variety to bandwagon now that every niche is connected around the globe.

My random thoughts for your reading.

HCl is already in your stomach, what’s the big deal of a little in the lungs?!?

Absolutely, mm > cm all the way. Other than you putting s at the end of mm, we don’t take the Lord’s (metric) name in vain around here.

I do feel kind of sorry for East Asia though, since their languages seperate at intervals of 10⁴, rather than 10³. The giga and mega prefixes just make no sense there. 1 GW = 10,0000,0000 W and 1 MW = 100,0000.

Language strikes again

Not sure, but perhaps they would prefer a prefix of 10^-4 rather than mm (10^-3).

1.852 all the way in every single context. I will die on this hill haha

Can I ask why, though? I’m also an engineer and I just never spell it out, if I can avoid it (so far, luckily, haven’t had push back since I’m on delivery and not proposals or anything like that.)

To me, it’s just more annoying to read it as words, and no matter what you do, mistakes can still happen, including when it’s spelled out.

Just my 2 cents.

Yeah I’m with you on this. I’m not sure if this was clear in the meme (I am an engineer), but I think the style guides can go shove it. I’m always going to write the symbols, not spell it out.

Hahaha, of course, it makes so much sense now

Yeah haha, this is why it came to my mind. In this case it’s a title, so not really for the purpose of being used as a number.

Though, I suppose I didn’t specify this

Don’t forget to tip them!

Chiming in with barely any knowledge on the topic.

Universities are massive institutions, with serious cash behind them. What the hell is stopping, say, all the public Australian universities just setting up their own journal, running it at cost for all the universities in Australia?

Make it make sense.
