  • Don't get it twisted. I'm not taking the question any more seriously than anyone else in this thread (including you).

    The flaw in the logic of your plan didn't require any serious analysis. If you think it did, then "Thanks for the compliment, I guess."

  • No, the question was "How do you [prove that your from the future]?" You laid out a scheme, which you are likely not capable of doing, especially because you missed the bit about the terrifying complexity of that particular proof.

    Wiles' demonstration of Fermat's simply stated proposition is more than a hundred pages of complex math involving such esoteric concepts as Selmer groups, Hecke algebras, elliptic curves, modular forms, Euler systems and Galois representations. 350 Years Later, Fermat's Last Theorem Finally Proved

  • If not for Lwaxana, Odo would have never told Kiera how he felt about her, probably would have left the station and rejoined the big puddle much sooner, and as a result would not have been in a position to get the help he needed to prevent the genocide of his species.

    And while Deanna certainly has issues with her mother, it is plainly shown that she has a relatively open and frank dialogue with her mother on a regular basis. To say "that Deanna only talks to her mother when pushed into it" is simply false.

  • It's a misleading legend, but the note at the bottom tries to clear it up a bit. This map seems to more be like "We took the range maps of 238 species of fish and overlaid them. The red area is where practically all of those range maps of each 238 species of fish overlapped." Of course there are other fish, but they were not included here because the map maker didn't have the right kind of dataset for them. To me that seems to indicate that this map isn't so much a map of actual biodiversity measured, but the potential for biodiversity of the region. Given that it's fish, I guess we shouldn't be surprised that this area is somewhere between/near the northern continent's biggest river, a large gulf, and ancient mountain range, and a coast with a strong warm current (for now...).

  • It didn't come together like a granny knot, which I understand to be just a square knot with the orientation of one half flipped. The knot I learned wrapped the free end around the base of a loop and pulling a section of that free end through it to create another loop. It was unbalanced for the same reasons as a granny knot though and probably very similar.

    The knot I tie now is basically a square knot where the "top" half is formed from two loops. Admittedly the knot I tie now, would have been much more difficult for toddler fingers than the knot I learned as that toddler.

  • I guess the children can't read, won't read, or will just get strangely antagonistic whenever anyone suggests that their ignorance is not a virtue or particularly unexpected. People can't know everything from birth. Young people learn about stuff as the age. You're probably one of the lucky 10,000 multiple times a day. Young people not knowing about something is not and never has been a sign that something is being forgotten. It's just the way it always has been. They haven't forgotten, they just haven't discovered it yet. No one is surprised or worried by this except you.

  • I bought SUSE Linux once upon a time. It was a physical CD and the packaging that I paid for. Maybe a little support was bundled, probably not. That was a time when the internet was slow for most and not an option for others, wifi wasn't ubiquitous (and if it existed, good luck getting the proper drivers loaded without internet), live distributions weren't really a thing yet, booting from usb was finicky and unreliable, and the install CDs would have the entire OS and basically all the software you could want to install bundled. These would have been the days before the fall of Napster and the rise in other "Linux ISO sharing tools". Ubuntu would even mail you like a half dozen physical CDs and some stickers just for asking and promising to share them in your community.

    There's nothing wrong with buying the physical things or paying for support. That's not what this meme is showing though.

  • Bunny ears or a variant thereof is usually more stable anyway. I taught myself a new better way to tie my shoes at 30 something. Now I no longer need to double knot themand they always come undone easily by pulling the ends. Previously, knotting them the way my parents taught, my knots always came undone and the loops didn't lay flat on either side (getting skewed to up and down my foot/leg).

  • normal shirt buttons, which come off fairly regularly.

    Maybe your technique isn't sufficient and the posted method isn't as "over the top" as you claim, but fundamental to not loosing buttons.

  • More to the point, even if the vehicle can seal completely and keep the water out, very few bodies of water that deep would be any safer to traverse in a car for other reasons. Most significant of these I think is the force of water pushing on the vehicle laterally. Claiming that a consumer vehicle can ford rivers or creeks up to 31 inches deep WILL get people killed regardless of how well the designed the vehicle. Don't drive through flowing water or even still water through which you cannot clearly see the bottom unless you're prepared for things to go very badly very fast.

  • The line between perfect bacon and overcooked perhaps slightly burnt is a number of seconds.

    This is the biggest reason I bake bacon. I can bake nearly a pound of bacon in the time it takes to make the rest of breakfast and seconds don't make the difference between perfect and burnt. You can dial that shit in to the perfect level of crispiness.

    Bacon spread out on a cooling rack set inside a sheet pan in a cold oven. Set to bake at 200°C or 400°F. After 20 minutes, check on it every 5 minutes until done to your liking. Thicker bacon takes longer obviously. Drain the grease and save for later cooking use.
