  f’‘(x) is 78x+22 but the question asks what number is f’'(x) + x, hence 79x+22.

  No, that’s Anatoly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where is the line between meeting somebody halfway and being a doormat with no personality?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Couples can do different things at the same time. It doesn’t mean the relationship is over, on the contrary it means you’re both comfortable with the other being independent. If you both like Chinese and Mexican, have Chinese this time and Mexican next. Or as you say, order from two different places. If you always have Mexican then she’s getting her way all the time which isn’t meeting halfway.

  Women do seem to like showing of their husbands. So you’ll need to go places with her sometimes, providing that you also get some restful weekends at home where she is either present or off with her girlfriends somewhere. If you don’t ever want to do stuff with her then she’s right to be concerned: why did you get together if you don’t actually want to be together?

  Where to draw the line: I’d suggest keeping count. If you compromise all the time and she never does, then that would suggest something of a lopsided relationship. But as others have said, you don’t want to count everything otherwise you’ll be the asshole.

  Of course not, it’s just Spez sucking up to the billionaires in the hope that one of them will be dumb enough to toss him a few million for his shitpile.

  I was surprised to find out that ******* gets censored everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes of course. Nobody wants someone walking the streets who thinks it’s their right to dish out the death penalty without due process. Who’s he going to pick next?

  That said, obviously with limited resources the police have to pick what cases take priority over others. For example Sheffield police don’t do anything about motorbike theft (even if there’s a tracker installed) because they’re too busy chasing down all those people who hurt others’ fee-fees by misgendering them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube devs be like⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a business plan because business=money, but how about creators host their own videos and share them through BitTorrent. No need to deliver real time video, users just download what they want to watch then watch them as they become available. Funding occurs through Kofi or Patreon etc. They’ll need to publish the magnet links somewhere but that’s a whole load cheaper than publishing RT video.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Même] Which movie was this for you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but critics always have to say shit films are good and good films are shit; that way we keep thinking they’ve got some amazing insight that’s worth them being paid oodles of cash. If they said good films were good and shit films were shit we’d all be like “no shit Sherlock” and kick them unpaid out of the building.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For my fellow Americans, when is enough enough?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So what you’re talking about is for a minority to raise arms against the democratically elected government. again, not what I’m saying.

  Then I recommend you crack open a dictionary and check the meanings of “get organized, involved, and armed”, “stand, fight, and maybe even die” (your exact wording). Because raising arms against a democratically elected goverrnment IS EXACTLY what you are saying, albeit that you might not be saying you necessarily want to start that fight, but it certainly looks like it to me.

  Naah, Moose came later, he was the chap who came down from a mountain with a couple of iPads, then drove out of the desert in a Triumph, or something like that.

  Yeah but those little bastards started it. People call what’s happening in Gaza a genocide but that’s nothing compared with the mozzie kill count.

  Huh? When are you guys celebrating Halloween? The only Friday 13ths in 2024 are in September and December.

  Also I thought the calendar cycles every 400 years. So if Fri 13th Oct 2024 exists, which it doesn’t, then Fri 13th Oct 1624 and 2424 also, er, don’t exist.

  ♫ In the year 2424, if trolls are still alive… ♫

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon enjoys time with his father⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah but that’s where all this gender fluidity/ambiguity gets interesting. OP might be a trans-dude, so “she” (apologies for the hypothetical deadgendering but it’s illustrative) would technically then be straight with no risk of butt defects (unless they did that of course) but with some risk of birth defects as he could then have been impregnated by his dad.

  Can you cite any peer reviewed studies that show scientific thinking necessarily leads away from omnivory?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2real5me⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But you DO have a PhD. Claiming it is somehow not valid is a criticism of the establishment that awarded it to you. You’re just suffering from impostor syndrome, that’s all.

  Also, no employer will consider someone fresh out of education, even someone with a PhD, to have vast quantitites of useful real-world experience, so even declaring a PhD won’t see you land your first job with the expectations that you’ll ace every bit of it from day one.

  It’s good that you realise you know nothing. That is both accurate and useful. But don’t take it too far. What your PhD proves is that you have an ability to learn, understand and communicate, and THAT is what employers are looking for.

  I have a friend who thinks LOL means “lots of love” and uses it as a generic signoff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does voting for Biden change anything if I live in a deep red area of my state? (Ohio)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry I’m not well enough versed in American politics to know who’s blue or red.

  Whether you should vote or not doesn’t depend on the people around you. It is your right to have your say. The result is the cumulative effect of everyone in your area doing the same. Whether you think you’re surrounded by millions of blues or millions of reds doesn’t make any difference. Your perception may be incorrect, and your analysis, that there is literally zero chance that your vote will matter, is incorrect.

  Nobody knows the results of an election until the votes are in and have been counted. It doesn’t matter that your area has always been red, blue, green, turquoise, pink or whatever. Areas can change allegiance, and it is by individuals getting out and voting.

  If you don’t vote, you strengthen the position of those who vote the other way. It is not considered a protest vote because the system would prefer to consider this as voter apathy. If you want to register a protest vote and “none of the above” isn’t an option, find the official way to spoil your ballot paper and do that, but whatever you do, get out and vote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Penguins ❤️⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Has homosexuality been redefined?

  I thought huddling together for warmth in cold weather was a survival technique: a method for staying alive, rather than counting as a sex act.

  And two males bringing up an orphaned child seems like a jolly nice thing to do for the child and the community. If an orphanage is staffed by one sex, does that make the whole place a massive L/G orgy even if nobody is having sex with anyone else?
