Well, do you have a cat?

I think the point is that no one wants to be in a position where financing something as trivial as takeout pizza becomes an appealing choice.

There are definitely services available, but sometimes takeout pizza just hits the spot. And that being an unaffordable luxury feels like sad commentary on our society.

and is nothing more than a figurehead

Fine by me.

Come November, I will not be voting for an old guy named Biden. I will be voting for the Biden administration, an administration that rejoined the Paris climate accords, has made progress wrt medical debt, has seen decreasing levels of uninsured Americans, and made progress on myriad other issues. Because the alternative is...well, you know.

I am not voting for my ideal candidate, or my ideal administration, but that's because 1) I'm not an accelerationist, and 2) I'm smart enough to know how this works given our deeply flawed voting system.

I'm not sure you can really have it both ways


the only alternatives for someone who doesn't want Trump but won't vote for Biden that I see are accelerationism, or complete and utter naivety...which is functionally equivalent to accelerationism.

Immediately after the integral symbol, before the integrand, is also common: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1146345/notational-position-of-dx-in-integral

It has a nice "operator" look this way.

It looks like they were super lazy and took the half life of the longest lived isotope of radium (226


approx 1600 years) minus its age (approx 100 years) to get to 1,500 years.

As others replies have said, it seems that her expertise was welcomed in the community.

Having spent my fair share of time in grad school, my experience with the arrogant scholar trope is...not exactly what this meme suggests. Academics certainly can have strongly held beliefs, but often are very good at gauging their own certainty. If a professor is lamenting that data taken around 3:17pm always looks bad, and the janitor says "well the electric tram goes by around then"


well, I have never met a professor or postdoc who wouldn't take that very seriously.

I always thought "so," when used to roughly mean "thus," should be spelled with one "o," but when used to mean "very," should use two. It would sort of be analogous to to/too.

And so I went to the park, but it was too hot and soo humid.

Ranked choice works well in my city (San Francisco). Just wish it could realistically


given the political uphill battle


be applied to federal elections.

"Over the last 3–4 months, we have observed that CPUs initially working well deteriorate over time, eventually failing," he claims. "The failure rate we have observed from our own testing is nearly 100%, indicating it's only a matter of time before affected CPUs fail."

Not used to seeing significant age-related degradation in silicon used under normal conditions. Sounds like Intel dun goofed...

Also X often supported a different size viewport and desktop so the view would scroll.

I remember encountering that the first time I used Linux! Can't recall personally finding a good use for it but...neat I guess?
