  • This is not the comment of someone who doesn't care what gm does.

    Also your family is weirdly intense and cares far too much about someone's choice of car manufacturer if "there will be some upset people at the dinner table"

    And incredibly none of this has really any direct relation to the post or my comment.

    I'm happy you have something to be passionate about.

  • Measuring is a loaded misnomer. Interacting with a particle changes what the particle is doing. There is no such thing as nondestructive testing in quantum physics.

    Measuring just happens to be something we do a lot which necessarily causes particle interactions.

  • A recall is a bit more severe than am update. Common, but not simply pushing out a software update they couldve done wirelessly.

    It means they have been regulated for a severe safety defect and are being forced to do this.

  • Pemdas and bodmas are not bullshit, they are a standard to disambiguate expression communication. They are order of operations. Multiplication and division are not on the same level, they are distinct operations which form the identity when combined with a multiplication.

    Similarly, log(x) and e^x are not the same operation, but form identity when composited.

    Formulations of division in algebra allow it to be at the same priority as multiplication by restructuring it as multiplication, but that requires formulating the expression a particular way. The ÷ operator however is strictly division. That's its purpose. It's not a fantastic operator for common usage because of this.

    There are valid orders of operations, such as depmas which I just made up which would make the above expression extremely ambiguous. Completely mathematically valid, order of ops is an established convention, not mathematical fact.

  • A matter of convention: true

    Unless you specify you aren't using pemdas, that's generally the assumed order of ops.

    This is not one of the ambiguous ones, but it's certainly written to be. Multiplication does indeed have priority under pemdas.

  • Under pemdas divisor operators must literally be completed after multiplication. They are not of equal priority unless you restructure the problem to be of multiplication form, which requires making assumptions about the intent of the expression.

  • Under normal interpretations of pemdas this is simply wrong, but it's ok. Left to right only applies very last, meaning the divisor operator must literally come after 2(4).

    This isn't really one of the ambiguous ones but it's fair to consider it unclear.

  • Physically this doesn't make sense. Bludgeoning piercing slashing all have effects on breaking a rock.

    A hydraulic press is just a slow application of high forces from a pressure trick.

    Getting hit by a high pressure oil leak can certainly resemble being shot.
