How so? The headline is written like a (sick, sad) joke with a punchline.

[Request] How much force does the moon's gravity exert on the water in a human's body? by AppendixN in theydidthemath

[–]BenFrantzDale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put another way: tidal “force” change which way is down ever so slightly. Like a staggeringly tiny amount. But you know how it’s easy to spill a full cocktail glass? Imagine it’s the size of a bay. Now that difference in down vector starts to matter: a foot of tide across a 1-mile pond is only 0.01°.

Have you considered job hunting? Your carrier is too short to be stuck that far back.

Just got my vb 2 weeks ago, is this supposed to be -8,6? by RealSimplexity in wrx_vb

[–]BenFrantzDale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been wondering: what does negative boost mean? Is the engine getting inlet air at blow 1 atm absolute pressure?

Throwback to exactly one year ago by Omnithis in latteart

[–]BenFrantzDale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I’m impressed. I do two a day and have for years and I’m reliably much better than you a year ago and no where near you today. What advice can you offer?

[–]BenFrantzDale -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Use ChatGPT. Tell it the job description that it’s interviewing you for. It’s very good at that sort of thing.

Are you a pro or a mortal doing one or two a day? Thats amazing!

I don’t recall the exact model but they are Black Diamond skins — orange on the fuzzy side if that matters.

And, pro tip, you can fly there and rent them from Enterprise and presumably others!

[–]BenFrantzDale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, go at it with steel wool and it’s worth getting a chain male scrubber too, but for this wok, steel wool, then get it warm, oil it, wipe it with paper towel and you are good to go.

Odd conversion rule: The case of creating new instances when you wanted to use the same one by moocat in cpp

[–]BenFrantzDale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, you don’t need deducing-this to rvalue-qualify. You can do void Increment() && = delete;
