There is mushroom for research

Probably want it between the winter temperature and the current summer temperature, but genies are traditionally fickle and pounce on any ambiguity

I wish I could be this confident about anything

Is linear algebra older than 0? Hang on (no, it is not, formalised in 17th century)

In my CS course, at least, it was treated as “engineering”, so we did both linear algebra and C programming. For everyone counting from 1 was more natural and the C method had to be taught a few times throughout the course (starting with java loops, which wasn’t used for malloc, OOP was probably the first unit anyone did for CS). As a habit it tended to stick even where we didn’t really use it (or in languages that don’t, e.g. lua), given how grueling C programming was and the other languages that were downstream of it.

I guess you could analogise things like saying “17th century” is 1600-1699 (first century is 0001 to 0099, I guess), in CS you are counting the very start of a thing (e.g. how many apple-widths to get to the first apple), vs the more common how many apples to have gotten the first apple. Or something, idk,

I’m drunk and avoiding housework, sorry

Is there a reason for the convention other than that’s how most people count? (Which is a perfectly fine reason, I’m just curious)

I can’t stop watching:

You are just a 5e hater.

Yes (though mostly a 3.5 hater, though hate is probably way too strong a word, more like a “I wish 80% of RPG players played something else”) (I haven’t played 5e, played a bunch of 4e)

Time to dust off my old timey prison outfit

Investors do not play video games, which… What else are they doing with their time?

Living in a place with multiple days above 40 in a row makes me miss the mother country. At least with respect to weather. Idk, some people here like summer

What did they say?

This thread feels like someone half remembering playing technomancers in shadowrun.

Our noble, um, Cromwell gestures to pile of twisted metal

Mid-hundreds. idk, way higher than I was getting for forgetting to delete random game of thrones episodes

I am keeping some torrents alive and have mad seed ratios on some of them. If it goes under five seeds and I’ve downloaded it.

To OP, the more seeds a torrent has, the easier it is for everyone to download it, and the less each seeder has to contribute. Think of it as a sort of giving back to the community.

Obviously, the latest episode of popular TV show doesn’t need your help, but obscure bits of media can actually die out. Or stuck at the same 40% for months.

Since the files are just kept on everyone’s computer, if no one has that file while online, no one can download it. No central file repository.

I’ve started using a broom for most things, only using the vacuum for corners and carpets. I realised I was cleaning less because the noise stressed me out

It was certainly a movie.

My hand is a lot smaller than a chicken, so I hope everyone is prepared to have roast my hand as well

These are the well paid conspiracists making up climate change nods

(My memory of phds on campus was they were very overworked and desperate for cash, I assume conspiracy theorists whose conspiracy relies on the silence of many grads do not know many phds)

Huh, I can only speak from my experience. I have a couple of thermometers in my room that give decimals, but my air con doesn’t give decimal options and the government meteorological service doesn’t either. I certainly don’t think I can tell the difference between 39 and 39.2.
