2 units (in this case houses) down and 2 across (a perhaps intentional misinterpretation of the original slightly ambiguous statement). Reasonable to assume down and across are perpendicular directions. Let’s pretend space-time is Euclidean. How far away is the listener from the sneeze? Pythagoras, our faithful companion, guides our understanding…√(2²+2²)=√8=2√2

The choice is more between ‘Sally has autism’ (some people think this makes it sound more like a disease, more distancing and separate from the person), and ‘Sally is autistic’ (sounds more like a character/personality trait, a way of being).

Agree delicious, but hardly low-key. Making home made kimchi is a fair amount of effort.

I think that’s when the oil in them starts to oxidise (which happens very quickly with the ‘unroasted’ kind). Kind of fishy smell? Keeping them sealed up airtight should help a bit…

I think when you read that article it’s important to think critically about how it’s composed. I am as anti-trump as the next European “centrist dad”, but nothing I read there made me think he went out of his way to tell that story unprompted. I imagine he was interviewed, said a bunch of stuff, and then someone cherry-picked the quotes they needed to support the narrative of the article… You can’t just take it at face value!?

To add to wewbull’s reply, as well as the change to where we’re generating power, it’s also how much we need. As transport moves from petrol/diesel to electric motors, and domestic heating from gas (currently widespread in the UK) to electric, we need vastly more power than we used to, so the transmission network needs beefed up. Hanging the conductors in the air gives you electrical insulation and heat dissipation for free, if you use buried cables you need to work a lot harder for these, ie you need to use far bigger cables, more of them. It is done a lot in built up areas, but not practical for the long distance transmission lines crossing the country.

I bring this up every time with someone who eats a panino for lunch!

Me, obvs!

In the UK I think there’s a scheme where you register your bike and engrave a serial number on the frame somewhere, so if it turns up stolen it’s easier to prove/legitimate sellers won’t buy it off thieves. Don’t know how well it works personally.

I slightly hesitate to ask, but what units are we working in here? 13 mm? Or 13 … 1/64ths of an inch or something?

Hmm, this aged poorly.

Perhaps instead of clients using two different security systems, Crowd strike and similar companies could have two or more completely independent teams sending out separate versions of their hourly updates. That way when something like this happens it would likely not bring down all of a client’s systems, and help resilience? It could be made into a requirement for providing security software to critical/strategic industries like healthcare, power transmission/distribution, defense, etc.

The local pharmacist in my parent’s village died from accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms ☹️

? isn’t scoring highly on the inattentive section consistent with having ‘some ADHD’?

Try ‘A dark room’. It’s a bit different, but it had depth and your can get into it. I also still love ‘Plague inc.’.

Regex are love; regex are life.

Or is it a non safety razor?

I mean, getting older and ‘gross’ health issues happens to everyone really… Or at least you should expect that it is likely to happen to you…

Is that a thing? Blowing up fully-fuelled airplanes just for fun?
