  • What seemingly backwards solutions have worked for you in life?

  • This is pure genius.

  • Researchers finds high levels of dangerous air particles(PM2.5) in air near electric vehicle fast charging stations.

    Jump

  • Were those other urban areas specifically parking lots/garages? (The places that charging stations tend to be)

  • At least he was staying positive.

  • What is the first thing you'll do if one day your identity gets purged from all records and no one recognizes you?

    Jump

  • Wouldn't be first day, but eventually I'd starve.

    I'd no longer have employment, bank accounts, investments, assets in my name, etc. No proof of ID or citizenship either.

    Maybe I could end up in jail, then I'd at least have a place to sleep and some food.

  • Good luck trying to sell anything of high value (house, car, etc) which has no ownership record

  • You can never trust atoms. They make up everything!

  • xkcd #3110: Global Ranking

    Jump

  • You know I thought of how to word that better, but wasn't sure I could convey what I meant clearly enough. I should have just used something like 'time lived'.

  • At one point I was ranked dead last in the entire world for number of seconds lived.

  • I seriously thought my parents made that up and nobody else called them that. I still don't know if they have any particular affinity for potatoes or something.

  • I am sweating...

    Jump

  • I genuinely couldn't figure out what "Coked" meant here.

  • Excel having a stab at dates

    Jump

  • Easy. Just be 64-bit. (Or unsigned, but that's not as good.)

  • Converting numbers is easy

    Jump

  • Ok, I'm confused, is the blank actually used in the middle of large column labels? Like is "A A" a number? how about "A ", " A ", or even " "? (All are three characters) If not then it seems like the base is 26, so I'm not seeing where the 27 multiplier is coming from, except that it's also a case where there's no 0 (like music?) and that might throw things off

    Edit: Ok, the comment by Morti explains everything. It's not the blank, it's the A ≠ AA so there are more numbers before a digit is added thing.

  • Why are there gaps on either side of the upper-right square? Seems like shoving those closed (like the OP image) would allow a little more twist on the center squares.

  • What are your grammar bugbears?

    Jump

  • Regarding double negatives, I get what you are saying, but they absolutely can be interpreted as a positive - this is easily proven by simply reversing one of them, and they can be reversed because they are after all negatives.

    But if the speaker's meaning is clear then of course it's rude and incorrect to misinterpret them.I feel like there's a gray area though where some constructions may be genuinely ambiguous which way the speaker meant (since a double negative as negative by definition means the opposite of what the words would mean otherwise)

  • Are these correct?

    Jump

  • Ah, probably so - I have no idea how long in absolute terms it takes to reach any given amount of fluency, but my thought was that they noticeably still have a way to go - which I figured was why they asked, to get a straight answer on that.

    I also have no idea how it's evaluated or what system those level labels are part of.

  • Are these correct?

    Jump

  • No, those are not correct.

    If I saw either of those, I would assume that you started learning English recently. (Which is fine, it just means more work for us to understand each other)

    As other comments have said the meaning is mostly clear but it's not how native speakers talk.
