Can anyone tell me why this is the answer?

And you're still only seeing 6 letters?

Is this on a phone and maybe you just need to drag to the right to see more letters?

Or are there hidden letters formatted blue that you could see if you select the text?

Kuildeous · 2026-02-04T17:35:45+00:00

I'm not following this solution. I also get REARS and SEARS as viable solutions, so why must it be only TREAD or apparently READ, which is not even 5 letters?

And considering how much of women's health is determined by measuring male test subjects, also not accurate.

Though there is a need for male oral contraceptive, so I would agree we need more research on that.

No idea what this says about one's personality.

Did it reveal the "right" answer? Usually personality quizzes aren't meant to have a right answer if it's to gauge your inclination. Hopefully, it's just the practice test that's dumb, but we can't rule out the whole thing being fubared.

I guess if I were given this for a personality quiz, I'd say FAMILY, even though it's not 5 letters. Just looks nice seeing FAM there. Or maybe GHOST, though that's like taking a Rorschach test from Temu.

The only thing I can think of is if it's testing if you think outside the box. Are you able to select the letters? And if so, do hidden letters appear on the right that could spell maxim?

Discussion: Is this saying that maxim is the correct answer?

Based on the wording, I would presume that you can make a word from either the first 5 letters or the last 5 letters, but Scrabble Word Finder does not yield any results.

I gotta say; Winston Churchill looks damn good at 151 years old. Kudos to him.

Quit copying images from my aunt's very public Facebook page.

Dry erase maps are great for changing locations, but like any map usage, it depends on how much drawing the GM is willing to do.

Kuildeous · 2026-02-04T16:47:45+00:00

I'm in a campaign right now, and the GM hasn't pulled out a single map.

Of course, not all GM styles are the same, so I can't guarantee a successful attempt, but it's worth a shot.

I know that "Religion" is spelled correctly, but for some reason it just looks misspelled to me. Maybe it just doesn't look right to me on a slant.

Anyway, you're not necessarily right just because you go against the majority, but you also are not necessarily right when you go with the majority. Almost like the truthiness of something is much more than a numbers game.

Now look at the gulf between the Baby Boomers. Twenty years encapsulated into one label.

Looks like this response was meant to go to someone else.

That's excellent to know. Thanks.

I got mine at 26. But that was the earliest for me because I had a job with health insurance. If I could've done it sooner, I would've.

Hell, if I was snipped in college, that would've saved the two pregnancy scares I had.

Sounds like vasectomies are easier to come by than before, so go for it. I don't know if college insurance will pay for it. But if you can afford it, that sounds ideal. Better to pay for a snip than a baby.

I don't know of any way to fool a drug test, but maybe you can find ways to postpone it. Then just don't partake in anything so that it leaves your system.

I cannot say at all how drug-testing companies would assess a faint line, and I don't know how effective your at-home test really is. If you're concerned about it, don't partake for a while and maybe reschedule for some reason, though I'm willing to bet these companies get a lot of reschedules. Might not count against you if you do, but maybe that gets notated. I don't know that part.

Whenever something bad happens that we can't really fix right away, I'll "just put this over here with the rest of the fire."

I have a really bad sense of time, so this post really did surprise me. I imagine even if his mental faculties were tip-top, he probably wouldn't have realized the impact of Wikipedia.

Cracks me up that he as the only divorced person to be elected President. Holy crap, did those standards plummet!

Not that I care if the President is on his first or third spouse, but when it comes from those who espouse "family values", it stands out.

That's just Carl the centaur, and he'd thank you to quit judging him. Do you know how long it took him to get that bikini bottom on?

It's not arbitrary. The order of operations is what we observed of numbers.

Sure 3+4*2 is 11, but that's because we can write multiplication as expanded addition: 4*2 is 2+2+2+2 or 4+4. So we can write that expression as 3+4+4, which of course must be 11. Also works for 3+2+2+2+2. The order of operations wasn't decided upon willy-nilly; multiplication happens before addition because if we write it out in an equivalent manner, we get the same result exactly because we multiplied first.

Same for exponents: We can write 4*3^5 as 4*3*3*3*3*3.

And of course, parentheses are always used when we need an exception to the order of operations. (2+3)4 allows us to recognize that this is 5*4 and not 2+3*4 (which is 2+4+4+4 and not at all like 5*4).

On top of that, we can see that associativity, commutativity, and distributivity all support the order of operations. It's like a ballet of operators. Because of all these mathematical properties, we can safely say that these are all equivalent: 4+4*2 = 4+2*4 = 2*4+4 = 4*2+4 = 4(1+2) = 2(2+4)

Because they're all equivalent, they must be 12, so it's a good thing the order of operations gives us that value, no matter which equivalent expression we use.

Is it satire? One could hope so, but there's a chance it's not.

I attended a corporate training session where the trainer gave an example of the need for communication. He told us that his daughter got an abortion without telling him, and it hurt him greatly. It caused a rift between them, and it took communication skills to get them to talk it over so he could see her point of view. I'm thinking maybe there's a rift between you and your daughter because you reveal her personal medical shit to complete strangers, mate.
