I wish I didn't have this giant penis.

That depends what colour your skin is or if you wear any non christian headgear, symbols, etc.

It comes from chy-nah

Amen brother

Those are some nice slip-ons

The premise of most of these type of arguments is that intelligence is something we can measure. Meanwhile, nobody knows what's going on inside their own brains, never mind other species.

Until very recently we just assumed that animals don't have a complex inner life because it doesn't superficially resemblance our own. It's also convenient to make that assumption if you're going to industrially farm those animals or destroy their habitats, etc.

Bill went bad. He was okay until we found out what he really believes.

He campaigned explicitly on a platform of change and then proceeded to install a cast of deeply entrenched establishment figures to shore up the establishment at the expense of common people. Classic switcheroo.

What's up guys, my name's Cory and today I'm gonna show you how to waste a bunch of time in the senate but before I do that, a word from my sponsors.

The British seem to be particularly bad at big infrastructure projects. The computerisation of the NHS was a debacle, for instance. HS2 has fallen massively short. The people in charge don't understand technology and are not good at taking advice.

Unbelievable arrogance. None of these people have any idea how these weapons work but they want their grubby little fingers on the button.

Violent hegemony is the solution to every problem because when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Is this really the story Americans tell each other? I thought they loved foreign adventures. That would explain the 800 military bases they have dotted around the world. Do us all a favour, pack them up and take them back to your shithole country.

And then we all clapped

'Shithole country'

Thanks Obomber

That's an interesting origin story. I suspect these ideas came about and came to possess a utility as larger societies formed. Nobody needs to be told that murder and stealing are wrong, we know it instinctively. It has been shown that primates understand this concept generally.

One problem with large societies is that customs becomes entrenched over time. We keep following the same rules and forget where they came from, we mistake the menu for the food. We cannot turn to a naturalistic solution to this problem, where everything is eating everything else because that amounts to fascism. Instead we must settle for a kludge where rich people get a different type of justice than do the poor, sentencing is more punitive before lunch and many other idiosyncrasies. My point is, I don't want to forget that a menu is just a menu. Some things will always be true and the law is not one of those things.

That's generally true for most HVAC applications. Bang-bang control creates limit cycle behaviour and as long as a small oscillation in temperature is acceptable, it's a nice simple solution.

OPs problem seems to be a discontinuity between the two limit cycles, heating and cooling. The way to tackle this is to make time series vectors of all measurements and compare them with the subjective sensation of the room temperature. That should inform the relevant set points for the control actions.

Why do people talk about law as if it has any sort of substance? If all the books were burnt we would only be able to faithfully reproduce the science books, everything else is just some stuff we made up.

Control theory is a bitch

I can understand this sort of thing among the elderly but I've met ablebodied engineers who don't understand how to computer. The awesome thing is that they don't take advice, they just Dunning Kruger their way through.
