Well, it depends. Are we doing INT{CEILING} or INT{FLOOR}? And, the better question is, what is the purpose of this discussion? That is something a lot of people who program math (not so much people who do math...they tend to ask "why?") don't ask. "What are you looking for? What… Read More

It was about the same statistic that got me over my fear of flying. If you fly an airline that follows all the rules to operate service to the US or EU, and make 8 round-trips a year, you're likely to experience an "incident" (doesn't mean a crash, could be someone having a heart… Read More

Incel math. Everyone is boning all the time except them (and their incel bros). Rational people know that it's absurd, but they have convinced themselves that this is true. For those inclined to believe this, (I'm a woman) having sex with the same person every day or two can be exhausting.… Read More

*Less is for things you can't count in common ways. "I have less stress." "I'm less interested in going to X than Y." You can't numerate stress and interest, so less is appropriate there. If you can count the thing, it is usually *fewer.* Like that commercial "same drive, *fewer*… Read More

#16, I am going to be an "old" internet person with this... In one of the Strongbad emails on Homestar Runner, he gives a little grammar lesson in song. It goes: "If you wanna be possessive, it's just I-T-S; but if it's a contraction, it's I-T-apostrophe-S." I showed that clip… Read More

But it also looks like a whole house (not an apartment), so there should be a back door they could go around and fetch it from...

@blah, I bought a dual magnet to hang wreaths on my door (the idea is you put one magnet on each side of the glass...didn't work because my front door glass is triple pane...it does work on my double pane back door) and that sucker is STRONG. People might not think about the various… Read More

If your kitchen is narrow, usually you just have to turn the range as you pull it out. I promise they didn't put it in place and then install the cabinets around it. The electric cord/gas line are long enough to do this...that's how they got it in there. I just moved the range in… Read More

@LiandriWade, a cup of tea and deep breathing are not going to help my piriformis syndrome. Proper and consistent stretches and bodyweight exercises so that my body generally works well, proper avoidance of triggers (which requires a whole lot of equipment for a desk worker...sitting… Read More
