  • I agree, which is why I don't see why people are saying the answer is 16. You add in the parentheses, you multiply, then you divide. The answer is 1.

    This left-to-right business linked below is complete nonsense when it comes to equations. That's how westerners read books, but not how math is communicated. Am I that old? Like Mr. Incredible said, did they change math!?!

  • So, she shares a name with The Walrus of Love himself, Barry White. Cool. There's a joke in there somewhere...

  • I hope they licensed this footage appropriately and paid the voice actors scale, but I'd bet good money they didn't.

  • A new ‘solution’ to student homelessness: a parking lot where students can sleep safely in their cars

    Jump

  • Good. It's terrible that this is a reality, but what is happening here is the decriminalization of being homeless and a student. Sure, you have to have a car, which isn't great, but for those in this situation that need this service, I imagine it to be a comfort.

    What this also does is make a very public safe space for people in dire conditions to congregate, commiserate, and hopefully organize. Please make a tent city; nothing will help illustrate the problem more. Create a safe place for unhoused people and see just how many show up.

    A safe space for anyone to help meet their basic needs should always be a good thing.

  • Look at this. Or don't.

  • Rage bait, maybe. But I chuckled, and that is good enough for me.

  • We carry on for absent friends

    Jump

  • To extrapolate on the lesson inherent in the meme, there are wounds you can survive and those you can't. Once you identify the ones you can't survive, you add armor to protect yourself (and others) from future formerly-deadly wounds.

    There are so many systemic things we can correct (and we will!), but what, as in the case of this plane, are the personal pieces of armor we can forge? What pieces of armor can we help others forge for themselves?

    An obvious one is a support network of friends and hopefully family. I'm a cis dude who was touched by the image and would like to be a better ally.

  • I got my work printed.

  • What printer did you use, what paper, print type, etc? Nice work!

    Edit: any deets on the camera used as well?

  • What TV series was mostly fine but had one outstanding episode?

    Jump

  • Lost. The first episode is a master-class in both "show and don't tell" and setting up "mystery boxes." It was downhill from there.

  • meta holiday

    Jump

  • I'm a staunch atheist who likes a holiday.

    Jesus was most likely born in the spring or fall a few years earlier than we recognize, if he was even a single person or existed at all. The Church, as it did every time, took existing holidays and co-opted them.

    The end of the Roman calendar year is an amalgam of pagan holidays that celebrate the shortest day/longest night. A lot of the traditions we associate with Xmas are celebrating the beginning of the lengthening of the day and the return to life/springtime.

    Xmas has always been a meta holiday. Most are. Enjoy the company of friends and family just as people have for millenia, no matter what banner is hanging over the mantle.

  • Erasing a Home’s Risks on Zillow Doesn’t Make Them Go Away

  • “Displaying the probability of a specific home flooding this year or within the next five years can have a significant impact on the perceived desirability of that property,” Art Carter, chief executive officer of the California Regional Multiple Listing Service, a private database for real estate brokers and agents, told the Times.

    Yea, no shit. That's the point of including climate risk when it comes to choosing a property.

    Flood prone areas don't pop up overnight. The people in Swannanoa NC were living in a known floodplain that had a massive flood about 100 years ago. Same with the Guadalupe River that averages a major flood every decade. Climate change is making these events larger and more frequent, but excluding data from a real estate listing to supposedly increase home value is nonsense at best and fraud at worst.
