  • Plumbing. I'm not a plumber and I'm not particularly good at it, but it's one of those things that most people won't even consider looking at.

    Also, 3D visualization. I had a carpenter do the gutters on my house and I explicitly told him that the reason I didn't do them myself was that the eaves are slanted inwards so that the slope on the gutters would cause the gutters to go inwards when it goes downwards, and I was unsure what best practise was for that case, where to get the proper hangers for this or if we'd need to put a vertical board up first in order to make it work. He assured me that it'd be fine, having done many gutters before. When I got home, he had put ordinary hangers right on the slanted eaves, and the gutters were halfway under the roof at one end. He stood there scratching his head and tried to argue that the wall of the house was not straight, because he could simply not see any other reason for it to do that.

  • Yeah that's a well known southern insult. It's really not that subtle, but then again, god didn't intend for everyone to be as smart as you.

  • "Ding ding ding!"

    I think it's condescending as fuck.

  • It's more about set theory than the actual numbers.

    Let's say you have 100 people with everyone tied up across both tracks. Heads on one track and legs on the other. Let's assume they die if the train touches any part of them, but you still need to choose between running over heads or legs.

    The best choice is then legs, because there's a probability of some of them being handicapped and not having legs.

  • Guess I was wrong. Maybe it adds up.

  • The real numbers also includes the integers.

    The practical consequence of this example is that the integers die regardless of what you choose.

    However infinitely many people will survive if you choose the first option.

  • I counted the letter "o". It doesn't match up.

  • I wouldn't think too much into it. I guess that most users here just don't have older kids yet, so they might lack the perspective of being the ones to give advice that kids don't listen to.

    My own kids aren't that old yet and will still listen, but I really hope that one day they will stop listening, because then I know I've taught them to be independent.

  • Breaking: This is what they don't want you to see!

  • It's a pretty vague description, but it reminds me of a handpan drum, or vibraphone.

    Anything can rattle your bones when in played loud enough, but if you're looking for a way to create the kind of sound that fills the room without being loud, try adding chorus, reverb and stereo delays.

    I was playing around with such the other day, in making an effect chain that would catch the tail of a reverb and then amplify it into an endless delay loop where the entire sound is made from the effect of something that doesn't exist anymore.

  • Only on Mondays.

  • Swordigo

  • Makes sense though. They elected a clown last time.

  • They'll be going full China and make it a crime to deface the dear leader.

  • Very old heaters used to contain lots of asbestos. It might have worked well.

  • It should be optional for free at least.

    Forced ads should be illegal. It's quite literally wasting peoples lives and a lot resources.
