- Comment on People who live in southern hemisphere countries: do your mall Santas dress for freezing cold weather? 4 days ago:
There’s no functional difference, we just use both terms. It’s a bit arbitrary, but generally once a mall is a mall we stick with that and vice versa. E.g. “Westfield St Lukes” is known as “St Lukes mall” colloquially by pretty much everyone.

It either happens, or it doesn’t, or the chances are not equal.

- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary 11 months ago:
Nah this is pretty concrete. There’s a flat screen single player game in active development with features being added like vehicle physics, surface temperatures, NPC AI handling for non standard gravity, etc. And there are half life related strings all through it. HL3? Who knows, but it would explain why they actually acknowledged their two anniversaries…
- Comment on "Quick" security check... I had to do 15 of these... 1 year ago:
To answer your question without being a dickhead: The given x indicates the point on the curve you need to find the slope at. In other words, find the derivative and then evaluate that function at the given x.
- Comment on What is with these tv commercials about crepe skin? What are they even selling? Hey! I like French street food! I do not want to eat the skin of old people! 1 year ago:
Technically yes, but a french crepe would be unidentifiable to someone who had only seen American pancakes
