“normal price” is whatever the price was before the first time you personally remember inflation being in the news ;)

And you, sir/madam, are you strangling or being strangled in this scenario where you are, “so wet”?

Examiner? I ‘ardly know ‘er!
- Comment on Warning food prices are set to spike in the UK due to Iran war 1 day ago:
The concept of “normal price” doesn’t make sense

And was there this side-chick + exam situation in all of them?

At the school I went to if you shat at school someone would bang on the cubicle door and laugh at you. Caused some definite problems for me

- Comment on "Science isn't political!" 2 days ago:
There is a philosophical distinction between the essence of science and the human application of scientific method. It’s not that important a distinction in practice, but I don’t refrain from pedantry when replying to people who for some reason can’t bring themselves to post in a political memes community.

Thanks for the correction - misremembered that.
A slight clarification in return: the constructible numbers are a strict subset of the algebraic (i.e. non-transcendental) real numbers.
(The constructible numbers are those numbers resulting from the closure of the rational numbers under square roots.)
This means that although the proof of pi’s transcendentality proved that squaring the circle is impossible, it could have been the case that pi was neither transcendental nor constructible. A simple example of such a number is the cube root of 2.

Science itself is not political, this is not a science meme, and having looked at your post history I won’t be missing anything by not seeing you again.

Oh bugger off. Post in political memes.

Nope, the proof has been known since ancient times!

My recollection is that it’s usually about that level of disparity. I’d be interested in knowing who tends to be more accurate. Do the police have an incentive to underplay the numbers?

It is conceivable (though I certainly understand skepticism) that they use it for concept and placeholder art, proofs of concept and the like.
As always, the question should be whether the final product is any good.
- Comment on The other spectrum 4 days ago:
This is actually a reason why personality quizzes are unreliable. A lot of people have a self-image already, and it’s trivial to pick the answers that match your self-image rather than actually introspect. That and the MTBI personality model is complete and utter bollocks (the “big five” personality model is the most mainstream one)

It is kind of crazy how price controls suddenly become fashionable when there’s a shortage. Like yeah, that’s how this whole “supply and demand” thing works!

I find this happens to me if I panic and do the stretch too quickly. But if I do it at fast but measured pace it works every time.
My dad told be the trick at a time when I was getting night cramps often and it changed my life

The honeycomb theorem is actually better than that: there isn’t any way to divide up the plane with equal-area shapes (even if it’s not a tiling in the sense of having any pattern) it won’t be better than hexagons.
But that video can die in a fire!

- Comment on IYKYK 1 week ago:
Yeah, “sharing information” on irrelevant Lemmy threads is going to make so much difference. You’re so brave.
I don’t waste time denying baseless accusations.
- Comment on IYKYK 1 week ago:
You misspelt slacktivism.
America sneezes and the whole world catches a cold - not just because you blow up international trade, but because you see your grievances as the most important thing, so that they are relevant in every situation, so we’ve all got to suffer through your self-absorption.
Do the internet equivalent of wearing a face mask.
