I just never got used to it. I grew up drinking club soda or sparkling mineral water. Also milk, I would drink liters of milk a day for a time, but no water. Flat water just doesn’t do it for me. If it’s ice cold, it’s ok, but I never think “I feel like I’d like some water now”.
It felt so creepy when I saw the picture and got a flashback of dreaming that bathroom. It got doubly creepy when I found a comment about it already. But I’m not American.
It shows all downvotes first, then all upvotes.
No, the kid’s answer is not “just as right”, it is the correct and expected answer. The teacher’s answer is wrong and proof the teacher doesn’t understand the question. The entire point of the question is understanding that fractions of a whole are relative to that whole and you can’t directly compare fractions from different wholes like that. 5/6 > 4/6 doesn’t mean Luis ate more pizza than Marty, it means Luis ate a larger share of his pizza than Marty ate out of his own.

That’s not small talk, that’s planning what to do today. You can open the same conversation with “hey, what do you want to do today?”
you’ve found out what their opinion on free will and almost every other deep conversation you could have with them in the first few years
I met my wife when we were 16-17. We are in our 40s now. It’s reasonable to expect that our opinions on such subjects have changed since then.
But there are plenty of subjects to talk about. How is the current environment in the US going to impact our kids’ lives going forward? Even if we know each other’s general perspectives on life, the universe, and everything, that doesn’t mean we can also predict opinions on complex scenarios and situations.
talking about things with very low impact or consequences
Isn’t that the definition of small talk?
The free will question is much closer to the conversations I was having with my wife before we got married. We were talking for hours every day, I can’t imagine spending hours on small talk.
I have aphantasia. I definitely cannot rotate a cube in my mind. I can with great effort and concentration kind of do what you describe, follow where individual edges and vertices would be in space relative to each other, but normally it would just be the idea in my head “there’s a cube and it’s rotating”.
My go to test for aphantasia goes like this:
People always answer with color and many times with a more detailed visual description, like texture, material, the surrounding scene, etc. I personally would very stumped by that question because when asked to imagine a circle, I just imagine the concept of a circle. It has no color, no texture, no substance.
But B is true
But quickly banging out a concept, to me, is the big win for python.
For me the best language for quickly banging out a concept has always been the one I’m most familiar with at the moment.
I never owned a 486 either. My first upgrade after the 286 was a Pentium.
Same in my company. Acknowledging that you’ve seen the message and are looking into it.
Never understood why, but it’s called “thick milk” in mine.
My cat has zero reaction to catnip anyway, so this comic wouldn’t even apply to him. But he does love to play and if we don’t play with him, he’ll find his own play. Find some small paper or plastic thing somewhere and swat them away then chase them. Or pick it up in his mouth and fling it up to then catch in mid flight. Lately we took out one of his older cat toys (a ribbon on a stick basically) and it’s his new favorite toy. He carries it around with him everywhere he goes, including up and down the stairs. And even though he’s over 13 years old, he’s more playful than he was as a kitten.

Like all Romance languages, number “one” has different masculine and feminine forms, depending on what you’re counting. Unlike other Romance languages, number “two” is also gendered.
But I’m genuinely curious what that is. Doesn’t look like a city manhole cover, which would have some identifying markings on it.
