- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 3 weeks ago:
The messages weren’t pushed to you? You got a notification and then had to request the actual message? That would be even more stupid, as it’s using twice the bandwidth.

That or, and this is far more likely, I missed that I already had a half lemon when I needed one.
- Comment on It's time to let go 3 weeks ago:
But only the oldest one, right? Not two newer half lemons

You had to pay to receive? wtf.gif
So some rando could ruin you by sending a bazillion SMS messages?
- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I drop the equivalent of 16€ and I get 60GB data and unlimited calls and SMS with my Danish provider. Having to pay for SMS is purely corporate greed.

First off, 9gag? Really? Are we getting that desperate?
Secondly, what kind of wonky-ass way is that to define a circle? “since you can’t do $sqrt{-1}$ we’ll just let that limit the graphing, so let’s just do that fucking twice to make a circle”
What happened to the easy to read oneliner $r^2=(x−a)^2+(y−b)^2$?

sometimes a happy teacher. I mean don’t over do it.
I will still fail you, if you hand in a paper with no other text than “I have no idea what’s going on”. Don’t try to be a comic either by using one liners in every single paragraph.
But make an honest attempt, and put in single one line like that twitter post, and yes it will result in an amused teacher.
- Comment on Gunfire From Deputies Killed Teen Who Had Been Reported Kidnapped, Video Shows 1 month ago:
Like WTF is wrong with your country that you allow your police force to just fire off their weapons in public like that?
If I were to just guess to the reason(s) US law enforcement is so inept, I’d say training and recruiting.
There’s apparently no universal training requirements for law enforcement officers. Many organizations and/or states have their own requirements, but there’s also situations where that is not the case.
Training: The following is purely anecdotal, so make of it what you want. I’m sure it’s not universally applicable. In my social circles I have a few police officers, and one of them told me of an exchange program, where he had gone to somewhere in the south east of the US. On a ride along with a deputy, they talked about training prior to patrol duty. Said deputy claimed that he/she had had no prior training, but was hired on the basis of a high school diploma, a drivers license, and no history of drugs or criminal behavior. First day on the force the deputy had been equipped with uniform, badge, gun, and a patrol car, and a couple of hours later had been driving about town, uniformed, armed, and extreheeemely nervous. Training hadn’t begun until 6 months later, and in the meantime that deputy had been driving around, scared of getting flagged down by civilians, because he/she had no idea of what to do.
In the recruiting part: Turning down applicants for having an above average IQ abcnews.go.com/amp/US/…/story?id=95836 does seem weird, unless you want mindless drones carrying out orders without reflection.

Get a copy of Practical Electronics for Inventors by Scherz and Monk.
Best book I bought in university, and one of maybe 4 I still refer to +10years later.
- Comment on How do you refer to the lgbtq+ "community" least excludingly? 3 months ago:
I liked rainbow too. But it would seem that some of the other commenters have a strong issue with “rainbow people” as it have been used dismissive towards them.
A one size fits all label seems impossible to find for this diverse group of fellow humans.
- Comment on How do you refer to the lgbtq+ "community" least excludingly? 3 months ago:
What about “rainbow people”? I kinda like it, the letters can quickly become unmarketable cringe while still not include everyone.

- Comment on Wonderful holiday scents 4 months ago:
As a former young person, living in a studio apartment of 20m^2, I don’t have to imagine that. And yes I did read the word “deliberately” - I wanted to see how much onion I could put in bolognese. Turns out a lot, when you blend the onion. Also it turns out that blending onion in your studio apartment is stupid.

Lights pickles candle, then putting on brass knuckles and a mouth guard. Let’s fucking goooo!

Port holes in armored vehicles, so the soldiers can stick their rifles out of and shoot at people.
- Comment on The four houses dads belong to. 4 months ago:
What I’m more intrigued by is that OP didn’t say that they use any kind of guide or frame to hold the power drill. Try drilling 10cm by hand straight enough that it makes sense to tap the hole.
- Comment on The four houses dads belong to. 4 months ago:
How about dads who went with the discount hardware store’s brand. It’s easily 1/4 Dewalt prices and comes with a 5 year no questions asked warranty? I spent like 80euros on two 18V cordless drills. I keep the receipt in the case they came in, and in the last 8 years I’ve abused the shit out of them, and have had at least one replacement. Just like Dewalt, makita, milwaukee, and ryobi, I have several batteries and charges, and a plethora of tools with the same battery.
I went to the store with a beat up drill, and the pimply faced teen at the register was like wtf?!? But the manager didn’t want the full story on the phone. Only three questions “is it [store brand]?” “is the receipt less than 5 years old?” and “what are you calling me for then?”. New drill, new case and new receipt. Oldest drill is about 4.5 years old now, so I guess that I have to torture the hell out of it and get a new one with 5 more years.

- Comment on This toilet paper at my work 5 months ago:
Traveling with school to Poland and Czechia in the late 90s we were told to always bring our own TP if using public restrooms. Not because of the quality, as much as because of the non-existence, of TP.
30 teens were rolling into Poland each with at least one roll of TP in the luggage. No one had to use it.

- Comment on gatekeeping 5 months ago:
So, what I was trying to do was use less than signs… Now I’ll just write it out instead.
The nomenclature I was taught for intervals used square brackets. But both inclusive and exclusive. If the bracket opens toward the number it’s inclusive, if the bracket opens away from the number it’s excluded.
The example I tried to use was as follows, 2 less than x and x less than or equal to 5, would be written as x = ]2;5]. While 2 less than x, and x less than 5 would be x = ]2;5[, and 2 less than or equal to x, and x less than or equal to 5, would be x = [2;5]
But it is just nomenclature, but as any other kindergartener I always thought it was universal. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that some people uses a period for decimals and not a comma. And that English speakers uses the words millions, billions, and trillions but skips milliards, billiards, and trilliards. Meaning that translating between English and Daniah, you’d need to be keenly aware of the differences - otherwise you’d might try convincing a Dane that there are 1000x more people on earth.
- Comment on gatekeeping 5 months ago:
But those are parentheses, are they not? I was taught intervals using square brackets and semicolon. While parentheses are used for coordinates and tuples. The square brackets indicates inclusion of the boundary number.
Ie. the statement "2

Screw you sqrt(-1), you aren’t even a real number, you poser!
- Comment on Risks of CPR 5 months ago:
Exactly, as a CNA you have different guidelines. I used to work as a temp CNA (a job med students can train for in my country), and naturally we were expected to not just do the layman’s CPR.
But the courses I teach are designed for non-medical persons, and they, more than anything, need to not freeze up in the moment. So they are taught to do it one way, and one way only. Is it optimal in every case? Of course not, but in most cases there’s a net positive effect.
- Comment on Risks of CPR 5 months ago:
There’s so many things, where your country has decided to go “you guys are doing x? We’re doing x^-1 because fuck you, that’s why!”
One of the most baffling things is your driver’s ed. I spent the equivalent of 2.8K USD to get a license, I had to attend
- a medical exam
- an 8hrs first aid course,
- 29hrs of theoretical driving ed (laws, signage etc),
- 4hrs on a closed circuit to learn how to start and park,
- 16hrs of practical driving, and
- 4hrs on a closed circuit with slippery conditions
before being allowed to even attempt a multiple choice exam (which 28% fail on the first try) and then a practical exam.
All the while you can get a license at 16yo, and it’s wham bam thank you mam easy to get. While a Danish teen can’t drive alone before they’re 18 and have spent all that time and money… Smh and don’t get me started on guns, that’s even more different.
- Comment on Risks of CPR 5 months ago:
Depends on who you are listening to. I just checked with the mandated lesson plan (“Basal førstehjælp til børn” or “Basic first aid for children”, page 6 and 7)I have to adhere to when teaching. Among other things, the main differences are:
- 5 blows, then 30:2 at 100-120 BPM.
- If you’re alone, then you do 1 min of CPR before calling emergency services.
- Comment on Risks of CPR 5 months ago:
Am quite surprised other countries don’t have this
Careful dealing in absolutes there, a Danish drivers license requires an 8hr first aid course.
- Comment on Risks of CPR 5 months ago:
Depends on the material, I have to teach 30:2 so that people don’t freeze. There’s a special course for people who are responsible for children, they learn a different algorithm, but I haven’t taught that course, so I’d have to read up on it. I believe that it’s still 30:2, but with 5 blows initially.
So I guess, just do 30:2 and don’t worry about the age part.
