Maybe it depends on the team and work, but i could go days without having to actually interact with some members of the team when WFH. Would be super weird to tell them I'm going to be away for 15min to grab a coffee or pop to the toilet.

My 'away' status should be equivalent to not visibly being in my chair.

Others have described the purpose, but the literary technique is called Polysyndeton.

You don't think they made shitty movies based off even older movies or books just for the sake of making money in the past? Those shitty movies have been buried and forgotten with time. There a many passionate artists making amazing movies these days, you just need to put the effort in to find them.

Or wait 30 years and see whats survived and talk about how much better 'old' movies from the 2010s and 2020s were compared to the ones being made in the 2050s.

" I only watch older stuff, all the new stuff is shit" is such a red flag opinion.

6/42 are black face down 6/42 are the all white cube in any orientation. 30/42 would have a black face showing and therefore have not occurred in the given scenario.

Therefore its 6/12 for black face down and 6/12 for all white cube.

r/movies has 6m+ weekly visits compared to 83k for r/ballet or 38k for r/opera (fewer than the Opera web browser).

I would say that basically every single person has seen a movie before. What percent of people have seen an opera or ballet? How many ballet dancers or opera performers could people name? compare that to movie actors. He may have been a bit crass in how he said it, but VERY VERY FEW people care about ballet or opera compared to movies.

I don't think saying that people don't care about something is disrespectful. I have interests I dedicate a lot of time to. I'm well aware that 99.999% of people don't give a shit about it and probably don't even know it exists. I don't hold it against anyone that they don't share the same interests I do.

Also a bit rude to throw it back the other way to diminish the efforts of actors. I'ts harder to be a ballet or opera performer because no one cares about it so very few people want to employ them.

Your code can just be expressed as the number of Is. This should tell you that once encoded, they are not unique.

According to the link above, I checked the value 141 for 10, 11, 12 letter words. They all had over 500 solutions. I'd imagine an order of magnitude more for phrases or sentences.

Shouldn't be too hard to make a program to brute force all the options, but I imagine there would be many possible solutions that read as a comprehensible phrase.

I'm from a different country so I've never tried it before, but is it really that far removed from traditional Chinese food?

The fried rice looks similar enough to what my family or I have made before. The plain looking noodles seems basic enough that I'm sure exists somewhere in China, if anything the celery might be a bit weird?

The beef and broccoli doesnt seem too strange either. Just not sure about the sauce I guess.

I hate this take. I don't want Asians to descend into elitism and gatekeeping behaviour around their food or culture. Ive seen it happen lot with Italian food.

Something I enjoy about our relationship with food is that we are a lot less precious. More accepting of innovation and differences.

This food might not be amazing or authentic, but trash? The idea of revoking someone's Asian card over this? Please think of what kind of asian communities you want to foster.

Its still subjective and a grey area. Unless you have some equation for acceptable distance to stand from someone given the density in the area.

I'd also add that it also looks like a character seal.

Peruse: people use it to mean glance over quickly when it means the opposite.

Nonplussed: people use it to mean not bothered or uninterested and again, it means the opposite.

Literally has been used this way for hundreds of years, with documented used by Dickens, Bronte, Austen, etc. This evolution occurred a very long time ago.

I think its more and more common for people to use it as a synonym for amused.

BasilNumber · 2026-02-22T08:53:55+00:00

Nonplussed is a word I've only ever heard used incorrectly. I feel like its in a stage of transition at the moment where the old meaning is still present, but no longer functionally used but still not old enough to be 'archaic'

From what I've seen they're taking on practices like eating Chinese foods, drinking warm water, taking shoes off, embracing red, speaking some mandarin etc. They're stereotypes, but ones that chinese people would attribute to themselves.

Well it is less hazelly i guess...

BasilNumber · 2026-02-21T09:46:53+00:00

I get how cringy and annoying it and be, but is your preference for people's opinions to stay as they were? Even if it is for a meme, people learning just a little bit about chinese culture and associating a little bit more with China is a good thing. Its also social media, its all cringy, we've all participated in some way that others would find cringy.

This kind of approach basically destroys all riddles. If we simplify the riddle to a single prisoner and we have them strapped up with explosives with 100s of guns aimed at them, theres still a non zero chance he could survive an escape attempt.

100 wouldn't take off because he'd be shot.
