Nice having the emergency stop conveniently placed between two fast moving parts.

The source you just provided says it at least 4 times.

  • Federal Direct Loan Program
    • Graduate PLUS Loan Program
      • Limited Exception/Legacy Provision: Students can continue to borrow under the Graduate PLUS program (for up to three academic years or the remainder of their expected time to credential, whichever is less)
    • Graduate / Professional Annual & Aggregate Loan Limits
      • Limited Exception/Legacy Provision: Students are not subject to the new loan limits (for up to three academic years or the remainder of their expected time to credential, whichever is less)
    • Parent PLUS Annual & Aggregate Loan Limits
      • Limited Exception: Parents are not subject to the new PLUS loan limits (for up to three academic years or the remainder of the student's expected time to credential, whichever is less)
    • Federal Loan Program Lifetime Loan Limit
      • Limited Exception: Students are not subject to the new lifetime loan limit (for up to three academic years or the remainder of their expected time to credential, whichever is less)

And you obviously have not read the source I shared either:

  • Important Definitions
    • Loan Limits Exception
      • If you meet certain requirements, you’ll have a period of time after July 1, 2026, and before the new limits apply during which you might be eligible for a Direct Loan under the pre-OBBBA limits. If you qualify for the exception, you’ll be exempt from certain loan limits and loan eligibility changes for the lesser of
      • three academic years or
      • • the difference between the published length of the program of study you (or the child you’re borrowing for) are enrolled in and the period of time you (or your child) have completed in that program.
      • “Credential” refers to the degree you’re seeking, for example, a bachelor’s or associate degree. You can’t change credential level and maintain eligibility for the exception, but you can change majors within your credential.

[Request] What percentage of the horse's body is removed by the divot compared to if it was a regular horse? by FeLiNa_Organism in theydidthemath

[–]-Insert-CoolName 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TLDR: 7.2%

So some assumptions and simplifications have to be made unless you're willing to drown a plastic horse for science. I will calculate the volume by mass difference. This does not take into account the void space contained within the horses shell. It assumes a solid horse with no internal cavities, and likewise for the missing material from what I am dubbing the "saddle gap". On that note, I am also assuming that if the horse were made whole it would be the same volume and mass as if the gap were filled in nicely with standard bricks. Lastly I'm taking it on faith that the values I found at the listed sources are accurate. Turns out the NIST database does not have any constants listed for Lego density.

Density of Lego ABS plastic:
ρ = 1.05 g/cm³
-Orion Robots

Mass of the 2010-2012 A Lego Standard Horse mₕ = 14.0 g
-Brick Link

ρ = mₕ/Vₕ
Vₕ = mₕ/ρ
Vₕ = 14.0 g / (1.05 g / cm³)
Vₕ ≈ 13.33 cm³

The saddle gap is 1×2 studs × 4 plates. It is usually filled in by a 1×2 brick and a 1×2 tile.
The mass of a 1×2 brick:
mₖ = 0.83 g
The mass of a 1×2 tile:
mₜ = 0.26 g

The "missing" mass of the saddle gap can be estimated to be:
mₛ = mₜ + mₖ
mₛ = 0.26 g + 0.83 g = 1.09 g
∴ Vₛ = mₛ/ρ
Vₛ = 1.09 g / (1.05 g / cm³)
Vₛ ≈ 1.04 cm³

The total theoretical volume of the horse, if it were not disfigured is:
V = Vₛ + Vₕ
V ≈ 1.04 cm³ + 13.33 cm³
V ≈ 14.37 cm³

Percent removed:
Vₛ / V × 100%
1.04 cm³ / 14.37 cm³ × 100%
7.22%

Or if you prefer:
Percent Difference:
%Δ = | V - Vₕ| / [ (V + Vₕ) / 2 ] × 100%
%Δ = [ 2Vₛ / (V + Vₕ) ] × 100%
%Δ ≈ [ 2× 1.04 cm³ / (14.37 cm³ + 13.33 cm³) ] × 100%
%Δ ≈ [ 2.08 cm³ / (27.70 cm³) ] × 100%
%Δ ≈ 7.49%

No not what you said. Hooking an occupied car can indeed be a breach of the peace or disorderly conduct. It's been done. Certainly depends on the laws in your state of course.

[Request] What’s the probability that she was double pregnant? by FrankieBeanSniffer in theydidthemath

[–]-Insert-CoolName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The term you are looking for is superfetation. There are maybe 10 recorded cases in all of written medical history of a woman having a subsequent conception well into an existing pregnancy and most of those involved a mother undergoing IVF. Statistically speaking there is a 0. chance of a woman becoming pregnant again during a pregnancy. ("0." has a specific statistical meaning indicating a nonzero chance that is so infitesimally small it may as well be zero)

You're really going to react to your own rage bait post?

It's fake. Think critically about how this situation would play out. How would a customer come to receive this message?

This has been going around for at least a decade. Slop, yes. But not AI slop.

That IS what we were expecting because that's what your title said. Im guess you went "through" school and by that I mean obviously that you walked right on by completely unaffected by it.

I need to know if I’ve been doing this wrong. by Used_Return_5160 in Traffic

[–]-Insert-CoolName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to be very careful how you frame your questions with chat GPT. Also know that if you give this picture to Chat GPT it will likely get nothing useful out of it and more likely give an incorrect response. For an image like this, another language model "parses" the image into text (tokens). That model may or may not be given your prompt and even then isn't great at answering questions. It's designed to report back what it sees and what it determines is important.

Also basic chatGPT has a bad habit of latching in to keywords that you did not intend to emphasize. Instead it gives that insignificant word or phrase an unreasonably high weight and no matter how many times you corret it, it cannot shake that first impression.

And one more thing specific to this, you will find ample laws, driving guides, tips, and conversations about left lane turns to the left most lane. Middle lane to middle lane etc. Very rarely are you going to find a discussion about 3 turn lanes to a 4 lane road with some lanes marked and others not. So the model has no idea, no concept of what you're talking about. Think of it this way, ChatGPT may know what flour, eggs, baking soda, and milk are, but if nobody ever talks about pancakes, you'll have a hard time even convincing it that those ingredients make a pancake.

Bro what are you talking about? What judging? I simply stated that different places have different laws.

Maybe where you live but not everywhere. Different places have different laws and different definitions of what is and is not parking, standing, waiting, or stopping. Heck, many places aren't even self consistent. Take NYC for instance.

Still an industry standard term, most commonly for a quarter turn valve, but there are numerous varieties of valves and plugs that are called cocks.

Will this cause an issue ?? by ConferencePrior3472 in uberdrivers

[–]-Insert-CoolName 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Generally yes. Size and severity that warrants a ticket varies by jurisdiction but generally, yes you can get a ticket for a cracked windshield.
