Helldivers 2. I’m in trouble. But at least it won’t last long.
- Comment on Why are expressions like "women artists" or "women writers" used? 1 week ago:
Saying “male nurse” is a thing. And for the same reason (misogyny).

Is that just an EE thing?

Infinity is too far away. We’ll deal with it when it gets closer.

That’s probably accurate, but I’m no mathematician. Specifically if you confine yourself to the set of real numbers, it’s undefined.
If you confine yourself to the set of rational numbers, integers, or natural numbers, you could get a bunch more undefined equations. For example, if you’re only working with the set of natural numbers, sqrt(4) is defined, but sqrt(5) through sqrt(8) are undefined because there are no whole numbers between 2 and 3 (2^2 and 3^2). Similarly, sqrt(-1) is undefined in this case because -1 isn’t part of the set of natural numbers, so any expression you used a negative number in would be undefined.
A more intuitive example might be to try using a non-number in an expression. Sqrt(🐱) is undefined. And 🦆-🦢 is also undefined. The operators aren’t defined to include cats or birds.

I’ve always thought “imaginary” vs “real” was an unfortunate naming convention.
I don’t know about other fields, but electrical engineering uses imaginary numbers with AC circuits and changing electrical fields. Since electricity moves as waves, imaginary numbers let you represent what’s coming 90 degrees later in a compact way.

-1/0 = Boom
But more literally, the answer is undefined.
Instead of thinking of division as a “proper” operator, think of it as shorthand for “x0 = -1". Since the multiplication operator already defines "x0 => 0” and “-1 != 0”, there literally is no answer by definition. So “undefined”.
For “0/0”, it’s a little different. Since “x*0 => 0”, literally every number satisfies “0/0”. Since we’re expecting a single number as the answer, we call the answer to this “undefined” too.
- Comment on How come in the trucking industry they are very against carrying a gun? Some area's my sister went into in new york I would have carried an AK-47. No offense NY. 4 weeks ago:
It’s wild how people treat “no offense” like a magical incantation. “You can’t be mad, bro; I said ‘no offense’!”
- Comment on Guess the game (#008) 5 weeks ago:
Same. I saw the picture before reading the title and immediately thought, “Cool! Someone’s playing SimTower! I haven’t seen that game in ages!”
- Comment on Why the water to make the medication work? 5 weeks ago:
As others have said, ask your doctor.
But to add another potential reason, some medications have dehydration as a side effect (maybe it messes with thirst cues, increases urination frequency, increases sweating, etc).

I feel like I’m missing one piece of context here. What plant is this?
- Comment on Is coding possible on smart phones ? 2 months ago:
Possible? Yes. But if you don’t have a keyboard, it’s a huge pain to type code. And, depending what you’re building, it might be hard or impossible to treat your code locally.
- Comment on Extended internet outage... (currently using mobile data) 6 months ago:
Internet access is increasingly becoming as crucial as any other utility. For some people, losing Internet might interfere with work, school, or medical devices.
It’s not “the end of the world” if my electricity is out for 5 hours, but it might cost me hundreds of dollars in spoiled food. It’s not “the end of the world” of my Internet is out for 5 hours, but it might “cost” me PTO.

Amen!

- Comment on Accuweather handling rain and snow differently 7 months ago:
I don’t think they actually do any weather forecasting. Last I heard, all the weather apps are getting forecasts from the National Weather Service (part of the NOAA). Which makes the bait-and-switch that much more infuriating.
- Comment on We can play that game too 8 months ago:
Sounds like you need to raise your rate. And also not break out your wage from the other costs in the invoice.

Not-so-fun fact, ritual circumcision was practiced by many groups in the ancient world. The oldest written account of Egyptian circumcision is from the 23rd century BCE (which predates its use in Abrhamic religions by well over 1000 years).

This is a very ADHD response to stimulants.
- Comment on 8 months ago:
You can do this now. But it’ll probably be more effort than using something like Bazzite. The image is available publicly. It just assumes a certain set of hardware (AMD GPU, for example). It might be enough to install the GPU drivers you need. Worst case, you might have to recompile the kernel. But all the user space configuration should be fine.
- Comment on apparently, the T button dosent exist for some people 8 months ago:
I learned that symbol makes the “th” sound. If I had easy access to it, I might use it too.
- Comment on Is it gay to have pleasurable sex with your wife? 8 months ago:
Sounds like he just doesn’t want to have sex with his wife. That’s pretty gay.

And all music should be under three minutes long. Every book should have page numbers. Photographers should have familiar subjects. Paintings should have a full explanation by the artist telling you exactly what they meant to communicate. /s
If the have isn’t for you, just move along. There are tons of games out there.
- Comment on (my first time here sorry) prison review and suggestions 1 year ago:
I haven’t played in a few years so take this with a grain of salt.
My approach is to build things out incrementally. If your cashflow stays positive the entire time, you won’t have money problems.
For design, try to find modular chunks you can repeat. A cellblock with bathroom and showers. A canteen. Make blueprints from them and twist them.
Do you have a foundation and walls around the entire space? I usually kept most stuff outside with a fence around the perimeter.
- Comment on It’s Not Hard For A Billion-Dollar Company To Credit An Artist From Time To Time 1 year ago:
The article is talking about art in promo material.
Think about it: whenever you see a piece of production art featured in a social media post or a press release or a game announcement at a big televised showcase, all you ever see is the art. You never know who made it, whether it was created by an individual or a small team (or even a studio).
- Comment on Bushtit isn’t much better 😭 1 year ago:
I misread the first one as “Dipshit” at first 🤣
- Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' 1 year ago:
Heroic Game Launcher is pretty cool. It does game save sync with GOG games too.
- Comment on I hate people like this 1 year ago:
The bigger deal is how many customers will react worse if you engage with them in any way. If that weren’t the case, pointing to the hours, shaking your head, etc, would be reasonable.
- Comment on I hate people like this 1 year ago:
My wife worked at a rental office for an apartment building and had the same experience.
- Comment on good shabbos 1 year ago:
Which isn’t to say there can’t be leftist antisemites. But it does seem like a lot of anti genocide people are unjustly treated as antisemitic.
