The first part of the equation seems to make sense, the number of eggs does depend on the number of children, age of the children, and size of the eggs. Makes sense that each of the kids gets two eggs. Not sure why it’s the square root of y, but okay.
The (a+d) part i just don’t understand at all. Why are the physical properties of the garden relevant?
And yeah, as the other commenter pointed out, i wonder what units they’re even using for some of this data
Yeah i don’t have that kind of experience, so me troubleshooting parts would drag on forever. And then they could break months down the line.
In my experience, when buying second hand you trade time and effort for the price; being able to fix things means more time and more effort for even more savings. That’s what this really is.
I guess there’s something to how little i understand computer hardware making me imagine it as more fragile than it is
Oh wow, i wasn’t expecting helpful advice for that specific model. Thanks!
The fingerprint scanner never worked properly, i had to register the same finger 3 times to make it kinda usable. Now a few months later it doesn’t work at all.
I’m thinking of buying my next set of PC parts used, but i’m scared of the reliability. Which is weird because i buy absolutely everything else scond hand
Samsung A03.
After years of buying the cheapest phones possible, i got really tired of it and spent more money to get a better one, hoping to finally be free of all the bullshit.
It’s the worst phone i’ve ever owned.
Cost me 100€ second hand instead of the ususal 50€. I am so disgusted
I have a passing familiarity with the politics of a couple countries, and they all fit this pattern: their constitutions say nothing of a two-party system, they don’t even say anything about parties at all. People just choose to create political parties, and then those parties coalesce into two major parties.
The reason that this happens is because people, from voters to every level of politician, look at the rules of the game and make tactical decisions; their tactical decisions cause a two-party system to emerge.
The USA is a really extreme case of this; in Europe there are more parties, and they even very occasionally come to power. Current french president Macron broke a decades-long streak of two-party governance in his country.

My takeaway from this is that there are things that can be done to improve the voting system, as suggested in these videos; but i don’t even like representative democracy at all, i think there’s better solutions in direct democracy (referendums and such). Representative democracy was designed to put elites in charge, voting was initially reserved for land-owning nobility. Extending voting rights to more people doesn’t change what the system is designed to do.
I don’t know what would happen to your body, but i know these would be the worst meals you’ll ever have
I don’t know why i remembered i had this somewhere in my dusty folder full of thousands of old memes, but:
I’ve sat in voice chats with Vtubers as they made mad scientist level stuff with their avatars, with visual programming and blendshapes and api hookups and a bunch of shit that i don’t understand. And they were doing it for 10 viewers.
And at that point the question becomes, why bring these viewers to Twitch? If you can build an audience on YouTube, that’s your income right there, you don’t need to stream for Twitch where you’ll make a lot less money. Either you do it for the love or you don’t do it.
Aside from those who have like 5k viewers (<0.1% of streamers), Twitch creators make less money than they would on another platform with another kind of content. This is good for me as an audience member because it means most streamers (that i watch anyway) are doing it out of passion, but it’s bad for the platform because it means they’re not profitable. Daddy Bezos can pull the plug on the Twitch money pit any day
This isn’t terribly far away from being me, except i randomly went to an art school for a couple years. Didn’t exactly pick up many marketable skills there lmfao
The nicest way that i can put it is that this has been true for most of human history until industrialization, let’s say that the 50’s is when industrial food starts to make poor people fat.
The less nice way to put it is that this hasn’t been true for 70 years. You are completely clueless to health food and poverty in the 20th century, let alone the 21st. Nowadays, eating nothing but the cheapest food will in fact make you fat, this is one of the main concerns of nutritional science today.
Sleeping for 10 hours in a closet would do enough damage to my body that i’d quit my job and get a disability pension
Right so i didn’t know exactly when a candidate has to be 35 (at time of nomination, election day, investiture…); if it’s investiture then an AOC candidature is technically possible, though i think we’d have heard about it by now if she had that intention
Replacing Biden was always a good idea, and the opposition always had the argument of “Biden is unfit for the presidency yet is still being pushed by his party, therefore the Democratic party is dumb”; but now prominent Democrats have (correctly in my opinion) called for Biden to be replaced. So there’s no going back now. If they don’t, the oppisition now has an even stronger argument: “Biden is unfit for the presidency, members of his own party have called for his replacement, yet he hasn’t been replaced, therefore the Democratic party is really dumb”.
Finding a candidate that energizes voters and creates a big turnout is hard, but not impossible, the 2020 primaries have minted several candidates and raised their profile.
Funnily enough, AOC turns 35 this October, she’s too young by like a few months if i get this right?
As a kid i used to have a scab eating compulsion, but it was like instant. If any amount of time passed at all it was immediately gross and i would immediately flick it away.
No i always expected conservatives to be secretely gay, but accidentally streaming gay porn is so funny and so demonstrative that it sounds made up. Like it’s unquestionable proof of a common stereotype and the person also looks clumsy in the process, it’s like too good.
I didn’t believe you, OP. I thought there’s no way, it’s exactly the kind of thing that would be made up. Like we all talk about accidentally streaming porn but it never actually happens.
But holy fuck, there’s images. There’s a screen recording. You can see one of the guys had a pup hood. I am completely shocked.
And yeah, even before he realized what was happening the chat had already come up with an excuse and he went with it. We live in a clown world.
It used to be that women couldn’t open their own bank accounts. Depending on how far back you go, they couldn’t even own property. In this context, women really needed to get married if they wanted to do anything. For this and many other reasons, the bar was lower, men could get married with less effort. Nowadays women can do anything and the only reason for them to want a man is if they want to, so you actually have to put in effort now.
Also, gender roles are changing and there’s no clarity as to what being a man is supposed to mean in 2025. If it’s not protecting and providing, if it’s not dying in war, then the purpose of men is undefined as of now, and there’s a tendency to want to return to the older gender roles.
And late capitalism is stressful, and men aren’t going to college as much these days. There’s lots of reasons but this is what i can remember in five minutes
