i would disagree that math problems only have one strategy for getting to the answer. there are many things, particularly in more abstract math, which can be understood in multiple different ways. the first example that comes to mind is the fundamental theorem of algebra. you can prove it using complex analysis, algebraic topology, or abstract algebra. all the proofs are quite different and rely on deep results from different fields of math.

i think the same thing holds in the less abstract areas of math, it’s just that people are often only taught one strategy for solving a problem and so they believe that’s all there is.

it would be a pretty funny post for the full 5 minutes it would last until it got stalin sorted out of lemmy.ml

buried deep in your comment is a reasonable criticism of his actions, but it’s difficult to want to engage with that because of how smug and condescending your comment is.

no it does not. it’s basically just a poll to see what other countries think. at least, that’s my understanding based on what i’ve read.

it’s very telling that being pro palestine is immediately interpreted as being “anti israel”

this is the most denuvo quote i could possibly think of. it’s beyond parody, and yet, they went and said it anyway

disposable vapes come with built in lithium batteries, while (most) disposable lighters don’t. so there is a very real difference between the two. but disposal lighters are also stupidly wasteful, so it would be nice to ban those as well.

why?

half life could just be using phone battery rules. even if your total phone battery capacity is 80% it’s original capacity, it still lets you charge it to “100%”, its just that you’ve charged it to 100% of that 80%.

it’s a rounding error

i tried cast iron pans many summers ago. but i found myself never using it because cooking is already inconvenient enough and cast iron pans just add a whole other dimension of inconvenience. it also makes me nervous that they’re never/rarely ever cleaned with soap and water. it was also very difficult to find consistent instructions on how to care for them and use them safely. so now i just use stainless steel instead.

wood and stainless steel is definitely the way to go. i don’t understand how nonstick seems to be the norm. are people not aware that the “nonstick” part of their pans is basically just plastic? and that it’s generally a bad idea to cook/eat/scratch plastic things?

in conclusion, remember to always curse in your comments because it will make your code better

hopefully there’s a statue of limitations on this kind of thing or else you still might be in trouble

i’ve mostly given up on expecting/trying to make coffee taste good. at this point i just eat the roasted beans and carry on with my day. it’s also more efficient since you lose a fair amount of caffeine through the brewing process. at this point i only have like 8-15 beans a day.

i still go to a cafe from time to time if i want a nice cappuccino or something, but i don’t bother with any of it at home.

edit: i should mention that roasted coffee beans can taste pretty good if they’re been roasted properly (and even better if eaten within a week of roasting). and you can get a pretty decent bean roaster for like 200$, and then after that a 3 lb. bag of unroasted beans costs like 30$. the 200$ upfront charge is pretty expensive, but it ends up paying for itself pretty quickly since you save an insane amount of money from buying unroasted coffee beans. when eating the roasted beans, a 3 lb. bag can last about 6 months to a year. so thats about 30$ to 60$ a year spent on coffee. even when i was brewing coffee, i found that the roaster paid for itself in about 6 months. not to mention that it’s not that hard to learn how to roast coffee beans, and everything tastes much better when using freshly roasted beans.
