Honestly, I would just see you saying two different things without context.

Unless as part of a sentence, like "it's worth nothing that it will be extremely hot during the picnic" at which point I'd probably ask you to rephrase the sentence

So's BOMDAS etc.? Just different words for things

Also PIMDAS (we had this conversation in my class this semester as we had a very wide range of ages and regions present in the class) (I is for indices) (I don't remember what the Colombian students said, for some reason we had a group of 3 Colombians in our class of 12 nowhere near Colombia)

That said, the question is ambiguously written. Maybe the popularity of this will result in calculators being more consistent with how they interpret implicit multiplication signs.

(my preference is to show two lines, one with the numerator and one with the divisor)

I think the above posters were being a little sarcastic.

My dad had tapes, but I never got to see data go from a tape to ram. They had 8 GB of space, I remember

Reminds be of the conversations about transferring hard drives using the public transport system in my city. Good bandwidth, terrible latency. Then everyone got faster internet and stopped pirating

I hate my smell but also overheat very easily, so uh... I just kinda have to live with it. I apologise a lot.

Definitely when I open my phones camera app and the face side camera displays

I feel like I had this experience repeatedly in RTSes. I don't think I quite had the same dive as my friend did, but still

I always feel a world apart from horny PCs, my characters are very sexless even if there's no reason for them to be

Sort of relevant, I had a friend who was really into super smash brothers (brawl, I think). Talked a lot about the competitive scene, different moves and tactics etc. He didn't have a Wii or Switch though, we were all pretty broke.

Anyway, some money came buy and he was able to grab a Switch and SSB finally. Super keen.

And then he just kinda sucked at. It was pretty sad, he almost immediately stopped being excited about it and the Switch, which he had bought new, was barely used a couple of months later. I was kinda worried about him because he wasn't mentally in a good place before that and talking about SSB seemed like an outlet for him (none of us in the mutual group played or cared about the game).

This was a while ago, he's doing much better now

Use it to have low risk conversations to trick your brain into getting extroverted energy

I wonder what set off the wearing caps too high. It made kids at my school look like they had enormous heads

"It" and also probably a few anti Asian slurs

Almost zero. Sometimes I try to make a conscious effort to, but that goes up and down with energy

I think some people wanted "dronies" to be this, but personally I find the counter insult thing a bit weak.

I miss mine. Good battery life. Big hard disk. Chugged a bit on google docs with large documents. Hot processor. Liero

Gotta keep the tap of cheap labour flowing (by preventing sex education, contraceptives, and abortion)

It sounds like what happens in a manual if you bottom out your RPMs in gear. Maybe your car isn't shifting down or disconnecting the gear properly, especially if it happened while stopped.

Cutting down on alcohol. Due to Australian tax, it's actually pretty expensive (except cheap wine). Beers at lunch add up.

Pirating media

Buying a large set of 500 mL plastic takeaway boxes with lids (Chinese takeout boxes). They're more useful than just poverty Tupperware, you can use them for storing lots of things, as small mixing bowls, etc.

Buying spices in bulk. There's a store here where you bring your own jars and stuff, all the cumin is loose and you just pay for product weight (which is way cheaper than mainstream supermarkets).

Asian grocers. Everything is generally cheaper, and they sell these large jars of minced garlic with big chunks of garlic (rather than the puree from woolworths).

Generally, the more interesting yet low effort you can make your cooking, the less you'll feel the need to eat out or splurge on "reward" meals. Asian food can be very good for that (east asian, south asian, middle east), and you'll impress your white friends.

Canned and frozen versions of vegetables, instead of fresh. If you're making a stew or curry, it doesn't really matter. Also, frozen broccoli is more floret (the tree bits you pretend to be a dinosaur at) by weight.

Just steal stuff. Do it irregularly, and always be a polite smiling face to service staff. Bring your own bags and hide your stolen produce under the bags. Leave the bags in the trolley and fill up stuff you buy on top of them.

Service what debts you can.

Really, the biggest costs tend to be emergency vehicle servicing, hospitalisations, and rent. Any way to reduce those (sharehousing, having friends that can do those sorts of work, spreading the work out amongst the community) will go way further than a lot of things I've just listed. Community is hard to find though
