Perfide,

Tornados, sometimes, I guess? I’ve got a chair on the front porch to watch from, does that count as prepared?

Perfide,

Nah, I’m American and the water level should not be that high. That toilets clogged.

Perfide,

My sense of taste was dulled and my sense of smell was totally 100% gone(I’m certain I could’ve been sprayed directly by a skunk and still smelt nothing at all) for about a month, with them slowly going back to normal over the course of another month or so. I also developed minor brain fog, which still hasn’t fully left over 3 years later.

Perfide,

It’s not just the accent, it’s his age/health combined with the accent. He was at least understandable with effort back in the day, now he practically needs a translater.

Perfide,

I mean real talk, how many generations back are you actually disappointing? Like I’m only going to disappoint my dad, as once you go up to grandparent level I have plenty of cousins who can and have already passed “our line” down.

Perfide,

It was because back then they thought the bigger the dick you had, the stupider you were.

Perfide,

It’s tricky but it is doable, unlike with RCA where you have to plug in 3 identical connectors with the only identifier being the color.

Perfide,

Nope, that EU legislation only requires batteries be replaceable, not swappable. In other words, you probably won’t need a heat gun to replace it, but you’ll probably still need a screwdriver.

Perfide,

Root by default is an awful idea.

Perfide,

OLED AoD eats a lot of battery because there’s still quite a lot of information(and thus, pixels turned on) shown on the AoD. A single pixel blinking on and off would at most use the same power as a dedicated notification led.

Perfide,

Not really, it’s mostly only budget phones that have it nowadays. The S10E(which stands for ‘essential’ btw, not ‘enterprise’) is almost 5 years old, not exactly representative of the modern phone market.

Perfide,

I have a pair of cheap Skullcandy’s that have physical buttons instead of touch sensors. The buttons are basically impossible to use without smooshing the earbud into your ear trying to click it, but it also means it’s really hard to accidentally click them. Probably as close as you can get to dumb Bluetooth earbuds.

Perfide,

Meh, I prefer it under the screen personally.

Perfide,

Battery bypass is not exclusive to the S23U, it’s on other recent Samsungs and it wasn’t even first introduced on Samsung phones, it’s been on multiple Sony and Asus phones. So yeah, people are gonna make assumptions when you’re complaining about how big phones have gotten while owning one of the largest phones on the market.

Whoever has the best chance at breaking into the capital district and killing Trump. Next question.

Perfide, (edited )

Entering, maybe, but breaking? What are they breaking? They’re just going down the chimney hole.

Perfide,

Yep and that’s all that they care about. When the company’s fortunes start to turn the execs will jump out with their golden parachute and not give a fuck.

Your order being fucked up or undercooked, or having an allergic reaction is a valid reason to have your meal comped, merely not liking the food is not a valid reason. It sucks you didn’t like it, but it’s no fault of the restaurant. That’s what you ordered. It doesn’t matter you only took two bites of it, all the restaurant can legally do with it is throw it in the trash, so it’s still a loss for them.

Perfide,

This. They really need to start including both low dynamic range AND high dynamic range audio options in home/streaming releases of movies, and TV should exclusively be LDR if they can’t simulcast the the different audio signals.

HDR audio sounds amazing and is totally worth it when you have the right audio equipment, so it shouldn’t stop existing entirely, but it’s bullshit that people that don’t have that equipment get an even worse experience than LDR as a result.

Perfide,

Who made you the authority on memes? Oh right, nobody.

So with the exact same amount of authority on the subject as you: Yes that is how internet memes work.

Perfide,

Could also just be an insomniac like me. No narcolepsy and I can sleep like a baby, but getting to sleep is like pulling teeth. Life’s responsibilities don’t follow my shitty sleep patterns tho, so I’m constantly not getting enough sleep.

You lost me on the section when you started going into different calculators, but I read the rest of the post. Well written even if I ultimately disagree!

The reason imo there is ambiguity with these math problems is bad/outdated teaching. The way I was taught pemdas, you always do the left-most operations first, while otherwise still following the ordering.

Doing this for 6÷2(1+2), there is no ambiguity that the answer is 9. You do your parentheses first as always, 6÷2(3), and then since division and multiplication are equal in ordering weight, you do the division first because it’s the left most operation, leaving us 3(3), which is of course 9.

If someone wrote this equation with the intention that the answer is 1, they wrote the equation wrong, simple as that.

Perfide,

No, those companies aren’t wrong, but they’re not entirely right either. The answer to “6 ÷ 2(1+2)” is 1 on those calculators because that is a badly written equation and you(not literally you, to be clear) should feel bad for writing it, and the calculators can’t handle it with their rigid hardcoded logic. The ones that do give the correct answer of 9 on that equation will get other equations wrong that it shouldn’t be, again because the logic is hardcoded.

That doesn’t change the fact that that equation worked out on paper is absolutely 9 based on modern rules of math. Calculate the parentheses first, you then have 6 ÷ 2(3). We could solve from here, but to make the point extra clear I’m going to actually expand this out to explicit multiplication. “2(3)” is the same as “2 x 3”, so we can rewrite the equation as “6 ÷ 2 x 3”. All operators now inarguably have equal precedence, which means the only factor left in which order to do the operations is left to right, and thus division first. The answer can only be 9.

What phone do you sugest for your grandparents?

I got a task to buy a smart phone for my grandparents, they are not techsavy but they know how to use basic functions. Iam looking for an andoid because it has language pack i need. I dont need it to have lots of functions, onley a good camera and a big screen. Bonus points if it can be flashed with some kind of simplefied...
