  • Interesting, but how is that relevant to the question:

    But are there negative ramifications of this mutation?

  • From what I can tell, et al. is not about socio-political power*. It's just a necessity for ease and efficiency. In-text citations need to be short to limit wasted space. Otherwise, we'd have lots of text dedicated to unnecessary names. An in-text citation that reads (Perez et al., 2023) is much more efficient than (Perez, Washington, Smith, Iwukuni, Johnson, Patel, Boofy, Yamirez, Tate, Hendrix, Apple, Man, & Gargamel, 2023).

    Using 7th ed. APA, the citation entries in the bibliography/references include upto the first 20 authors, so contributors are rarely omitted.

    • Perhaps being the first author is in many situations, but APA format can't really address that.
  • I'm no STEM major, so I may be way off, but this is how I see it.

    V = IR isn't math. It's a way of defining the relationship and outcome of two specific physical qualities. It says that we combine the resistance of a medium ( R) with the current flowing through it (I) into another joint emergent quality we call voltage (V). We do this because it makes our understanding of the physical world easier to manage since this relationship has helpful applications.

    Math is simply patterns in the relationships of quantities. It excludes any physical units or qualities. In other words, math is the art of counting.

  • In social science, theory requires application. Otherwise, it's just a cool story, bro.

  • The test to know if anything is an absolute truth is if it is called an absolute truth. If it is called an absolute truth, then it isn't an absolute truth. If it isn't called an absolute truth, then it isn't an absolute truth. Absolute truths don't exist. If someone tells you something is an absolute truth, stop listening to them.

  • lol, what a funny joke! omg, haha! wow, so funny! however, my friend doesn't get it, and I'm having trouble explaining it to them (because I'm laughing 😂). can someone help us out pls?

  • panic?? there aint shit you can do.

  • Where two of the founders, both Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduates, of Technicolor, Inc., graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and then founded Technicolor, which they named 👍

  • I rode in one of those half way around the world! The entire trip had 2 layovers and took like 48 hrs because the damn thing made two emergency landings shortly after take off from the first layover. According to the scuttlebutt, an engine stopped running and the other issue was that the rudder broke. Btw, the "passenger" seats are facing backwards and there are no windows. Most boring flight everrr.

  • Games where the purpose is to optimize productivity, efficiency, and achieving accomplishments improve effectiveness. Or complex/realistic simulation games. So games like SimCity, Tropico, Kerbal Space Program, and MS Flight Simulator 2020.

    It's just too rewardingggg 🫨

  • i agree! bluegrass music is awesome 🎶🪕🎶

  • I'm not comfortable with calling something that is prevalent in 80%-95% of an area's population a dysfunction unless it results in remarkably lower life expectancy or quality of life otherwise.

  • Nanni (1750 B.C.E.) found that the quality of copper ingots from Dilmun specifically acquired and delivered by merchant Ea-nāṣir of Mesopotamia was substandard and thus not acceptable for trade.

  • this cartoon with a face on each side of their face weirds me the fuck out.

  • Exactly! I get the obsession over a special interest, but overlook major aspects. For example, when I was in middle school, we had an assignment in which we were given certain materials and instructed to build a craft that can protect an egg from breaking when dropped from a 2nd floor (20-25ft; 6-8m). I created an elaborate system that had two forms of suspension that even impressed the teacher. I was certain this would work. When it came time to test it out, I completely did not account for the craft flipping upside down because I was so focused on the cushioning that nothing else existed. The thing flipped and the egg practically hit the ground directly. Oof. I might as well have just thrown the bare egg at the floor.

    Another thing I have done several times is to prepare to make a delicious meal. I will run through the entire recipe noting all the ingredients. My list will be divided by the aisle in which they are located at the grocery store. I plan the entire timeline backwards to make sure everything is completed on time. I go to the store and make sure I get everything per my list. Finally, I go pay and walk out, completely forgetting all of the food items I just purchased! I have done this at least 10 times.

    Or more embarrassingly, I was invited to a fancy-pants formal event across the country. I ask about attire, what my expected behaviors are (e.g. giving a speech, spending time with certain attendants, etc.), schedule, where I will be staying...everything. I make an elaborate packing list with backups for things that are essential. Once I get there and just a few hours before the event, I go to get my suit and realize I forgot it on my bed at home all packed and ready to go.

    My life is littered with examples like these: going overboard into something while completely overlooking a detrimental component. It's a bit shame inducing, so I get discouraged. It really helps to have helpful people around though. I seem to be much more effective in small caring and respectful teams with overlapping roles and responsibilities.

    The End

  • We don’t have a good reëntry vehicle, so let’s have them eject. We KNOW personal parachutes work. So yeah that cool right Yuri?

    The nonexistent previous reentry vehicle didn't not fail and kill the previous first cosmonaut, so we didn't fix any issues and are now fairly certain that you will be fine 😉👌
