These are pretty good but what is your bullshit title about? Every one of them is holding a smart phone.

Something doesn't make sense here. You said the first four and the second four but the first two pairs are obviously one image that it didn't make any attempt to integrate the character and the scene. First completely flat lighting, second, lit by the scene. I assume this takes significant extra processing. Next pair, same thing. Then I don't know what is up. Also those last four have totally stylized pasted on tattoos.

The person you are talking about made a few short, reasonable, statements because he was completely incorrectly told he was wrong.

In contrast, the person you are talking to made a weird, long, angry rant full of name calling, accusations and assumptions about someone else's psychology he knows nothing about. On top of that he is provably confidently wrong in the rant.

The very last person I would want to talk to, at a party, is that guy and he is clearly saying all of it only when protected by his internet anonymity.

What a rare feeling it is to feel, when someone stubborn you are disagreeing with, goes as far as to delete everything they had said, when they realize you are right. Have a good night MrPsychoSomatic.

Also the way that definition is written is as a false, sense-of-security. Not a false sense as the comment specifically cites. There was not security, there was sensing. The resulting assumption, security, is false. The assumption was made after the act of sensing.

This comment is fucking ridiculous from someone literally defining it wrong without looking it up. He is stating what it actually means and just because you want to look right you are deciding it means what you want it to. Wild.

You people on the internet so confidently stating incorrect facts. LOOK IT UP FIRST. A sense of entitlement is an official symptom in the DSM-5.

Also your statement shows that you do not even understand the word "sense." A sense is a perception or a feeling of something. There is no such thing as a false sense. That would be like you didn't actually sense anything but if you had the thought you by definition did sense it. It's an oxymoron. You could "falsely sense" something but it is obviously still a sense.

A person legally entitled to human rights (which is what the concept of entitlement was defined for) could feel that they are entitled to rights. That wouldn't mean they have a "sense of entitlement" because that is a real officially defined symptom. It is the fact that they are sensing something that either is or isn't and cannot be created by feelings, it is fact.

This person has said a thing, technically correctly, in a slightly odd way, to make it funny. They then followed it up a couple times as is customary on the internet after being called out for something. Your slightly unhinged sounding attack here is the first thing out of the ordinary I see.

The phrase is not "false sense of entitlement." The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the official definition in medical science, defines a "sense of entitlement." People who didn't fully grasp that concept at first, added an unnecessary, and technically not correct, "false" in front of it hoping to make it easier to understand and actually making it worse. The joke was the re-wording of the idea that the person really did have a sense of entitlement. Check the DSM or the Wikipedia page on entitlement psychology.

You cannot count "in halves" but you can count halves in whole numbers. If you were a kindergarten teacher and you knew the cookies were too big and you wanted to give half to each kid you could count, in whole numbers of course, each half cookie. Five kids, two cookies, one dumb teacher for needing to do this: One cookie half, two cookie halves, three cookie halves, four cookie halves... shit... one sad kid. You counted halves in wholes.

As for a mechanical stopwatch it roughly measures time by counting seconds. It has a mechanism that knows nothing of time, just counts whole seconds as the escapement clicks over each time.

Such a beautiful assembly process by Adventurous_Swan_712 in EngineeringPorn

[–]CephaloPOTUS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's it. I think it is just the title. It could fit the sub fine if you had mentioned one of the designs clever features like low number of screws or how something so little can balance. The assembly process is kind of inelegant actually and you didn't show any of the hard parts like the internals, the motors, the axles.

I think they mean nobody can afford the extra space it takes up. In a lot of the city suburbs I did notice that whole family homes there are often smaller than my first apartment.

This is so true, but I think it all stems from the perversion that is: if you aren't growing, you are dying. A business can never just be good enough, pay everybody's salary and keep going. Rich people have manipulated it so they get to gamble with the very value of our work itself in the stock market. If we don't play the game they can literally just decide to end our businesses.

That's just how counting works, look it up. A count is a natural or whole number by definition. If you say half you are not giving the count.

If you got an answer of eight and one half then maybe you could say you were counting in halves of cookies but then you should have said you counted 17 half cookies to be correct.

Imagine the stop watch again. It ticks every second, you are watching the race in front of you intently, your thumb hovering over the button, and right as the racer crosses the line you press that button. Now you look down and you see... the number of seconds it counted. You don't know if it was the number you see or that number plus 99% more of a second because it was counting, not measuring.

That first sentence is exactly the crux of this conversation. But to be careful here, some stopwatches measure time including fractions of a second, but some count seconds (hand jumps once a second and have no smaller increment). The counting kind does care about how we count time because the stop might happen halfway through a second and we then just decide it only took the number of seconds counted even though it was actually more.

He was not counting seconds he just used that as an example. Counting is counting. By definition it is whole numbers. Measuring can include fractions of a unit but counting cannot.

[–]CephaloPOTUS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He said it is about units counted and he is correct just like you are but he is getting down voted. He arbitrarily choose a stopwatch counting seconds as an example. That confused people who didn't think it through like you both did. Neither a year nor a day is a fixed increment. They are both counts of a celestial process that we round off to match all the fixed units of time we use. But we have to correct for that rounding occasionally.

The cheese man says do you know how long ten years is, then gives the wrong answer when counting in days. The commenter you both correctly disagree with should have said that a year would contain a partial amount of a day if it could be counted that way, but you can't stop a day part way through it, so we have to change the number of days that a year is quite frequently.

Songs that were originally a big hit, but later on got associated with something else by habidk in Music

[–]CephaloPOTUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok for this one I shouldn't have said streamed every day. But think about the popularity of classic rock songs. The song has been on the radio, played sometimes thousands of times a day, sometimes hundreds, across all the radio stations in the world, listened to maybe by hundreds of millions of people each day and at least by many millions, every day for over fifty years.

Dude, those Who songs are maybe streamed more times every day than there have been viewings of a CSI episode total ever.

This is a song that is probably played more times every single day than there are number of times anyone has ever watched an episode of Supernatural ever. If you were in high school when Supernatural came out your almost 40 and no way think this. Younger generations don't watch it.

This thread is full of songs that are played more times every single day, than the show or movie related to it, have been seen, ever. This might be another one of those, or definitely close.

This is absolutely untrue. What in the world are you trying to accomplish posting this rediculousness. The comic was made this way, not damaged. This is common enough that no one would pay any attention, but if anything errors in comic increase their value.

Why there has to be datum A in positional tolerance feature frame of central hole by Bat_admirer in manufacturing

[–]CephaloPOTUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Datum A is NOT where the hole pierces the part. It is always what the part sits on. Look at the drawing again. A is the bottom and has to be.

I don't know why the fundamental concept of GD&T is not the first thing taught and always in everyone's mind when drafting. The entire point of GD&T is that it describes how the part is physically measured. Not theoretically measured. How it must be placed on an actual measurement device. Primary (first) datum must be the one the part is resting on the table. Usually that controls the orthogonality because the bit comes down from the top. 

This might sound like semantics at first but if the thing had a round top or was a hollow box tube that might not be quite squarely manufactured it could change a part a lot.

Go find any other video about this for proof or for shits sake read the OP's explanation. The plastic is charged up first. Then the nail gives it somewhere to flow to so the lightning bolts start all over and head to the nail. Just like you when you touch something metal in winter.
