  • I had to read "Speak". It was basically a short story about a girl getting SA'd and then treated like crap by everyone till the last couple pages. I do not think it had the intended effect they were going for.

  • I know the /s but I also want to introduce you to amorphous solids! (Because I like them so now you get to read this lol) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphous_solid

    Which is essentially a "solid" structure without a proper crystalline structure. This will cause it to move as a liquid at incredibly slow speeds. Such a glass for instance. Extremely old historical glass can be seen to be thicker at the bottom than the top. Not because it was built this way, but because over hundreds of years it has "poured" down [1].

    *This is a simplified explanation and therefore may not be acutely accurate for sake of simplicity

    TL;DR Some solid stuff is really just super slow liquids. I.E. Glass

    [1]: See link in comment reply. Glass is an amorphous solid but sources say that glass pane construction is the cause of thicker bottoms rather than it's movement over time.

  • Haha yes I meant edgerunners, I even looked up the title before hand and still mixed it up. Though you're right, both the show and the game have great art.

    Kill LA Kill was the one with the alien outfits right? That show had some great parts, it was silly and absurd, though a little on the salacious side for me, especially considering how young the characters were.

  • So the amount you are adding is getting smaller with each iteration, 1/4 is smaller than 1/2, however you are still adding 1/4 on top of the 1/2, and those two are combined, closer to "1" than either of them independently correct? (1/2 +1/4 =1/3. 1/3>1/2)

    So if the number gets bigger forever than at some point it will eventually hit "1", since we already started with "1" the next "1" will be "2"

    I hope I'm explaining it well enough, it's similar to how 3.33(repeating)x3...=10 (though technically for different reasons)

  • I believe starting with 1/1 which equals 1, you are then adding infinitely (fractions) on top of the 1. So 1, then 1 1/2, ect, so the next full integer to be hit (infinitely down the line) would be 2.

    I don't do high level math so I hope this explanation is correct or intelligible, this is just how I understand it intuitively

  • Drink a full glass of water before bed, eventually you'll learn how much to drink to wake you at about the correct time. I used to be absolutely dead to the world while sleeping, I even needed a shock bracelet to wake me. Drinking water was one method I used though.

  • In the way that language is commonly used, yes. People have been using it wrong for so long "jealous" has effectively become synonymous with "envious". Even if I dislike and disagree with it being used this way.

    If someone is eating a donut and you say "I'm so jealous [of having the donut]" I'm fairly confident most everyone would understand you mean envious by definition but are using the word jealous to convey that meaning.

  • Many trades pay big money just for having the knowledge more than doing work. Being capable =/= Doing lots of work necessarily. I know people being paid big bucks to do nothing until a specific job comes up that requires their niche knowledge. That knowledge can be so hard to find or capable people so sparse that it's worth paying a lot to have that value on retainer.

    Maybe that Dr. Is a specialist? Maybe there's shortage? There's plenty of possible reasons, including that person just being a bad worker. Regardless, they definitely spent near a decade to gain enough knowledge and skill to aquire that position. That's gonna come with a larger salary.
