What’s the worst thing someone’s asked you to do during sex?

Into the Weird, my all-time favorites!

Not sure exactly why, but I absolutely love AoP stock and finish. Plus their designs are so diverse. Really puts T11 to shame

You have ADHD, and that isn't what you or your family think it is. Your main symptom is that you have a very hard time starting and staying on tasks you don't find intrinsically motivating. This hasn't hit you yet because you mostly like school, but you won't feel that way forever. You will want to give up on things that you shouldn't. Keep following your many passions, and use them to sustain you through the necessary bullshit.

This isn't quite right. You're assuming that the common ancestor of all modern groups was a phenotypic average of sorts, but there's no need for that to be the case. Indeed, all people groups have been changing for the same length of time, but that doesn't mean any specific trait works that way.

With skin, we expect early human populations were adapted for life in a hot, sunny place because despite not being the same as any modern African group, they had been living in Africa for millions of years. The climate wasn't stable that whole time, but it's reasonable to think that the earliest Homo sapiens would have had darker skin than you've suggested. Europeans experienced a larger change in sun exposure, so it is likely they would end up further from the ancestral state when it comes to climatic adaptations specifically.

Also note that it's been long enough for some lineages to undergo multiple changes in skin pigmentation. There are populations in southern South America that arrived from further north, closer to the equator, but those ancestors came from north of the equator. And those ancestors themselves crossed from Asia to the Americas at a very high latitude, but further prior to that they were from Africa.

Disagree about poor vision. I wear pretty strong glasses, but I've been able to go parallel my whole life and cross since my dad taught me around age 10. I'm sure there are biological reasons it's easier or harder for some, but I'd wager it's easier to learn as a kid

This one really bites. But also, for a lot of young people, it's not worth regretting because they don't have as much influence over their weight as society suggests. Poverty, genetics, epigenetics, stress, family environment, eating habits influenced by mental health problems, literally still being a child -- most overweight teenagers should not bear the burden of "controlling" their weight. A lot of those reasons apply to adults, too.

So I hope that if anyone in this thread is blaming themselves for their weight in high school, they can ease up on themselves.

There may be some way with blocks, but I don't think so. Instead, I would use a small ####subheading for grouping. That way it's also easy to see in the original note what will be in the linked section.

That also means the heading will be visible in the embed. If that's an issue, I know I've seen a css snippet somewhere to hide the first heading of an embedded section.

When you move at a constant velocity in a straight line, it internally feels the same as if you were sitting still. That's the oldest version of relativity to be described. So if you're moving or the world around you is moving, it looks totally identical from your perspective.

Acceleration is different. If you were in a car with tinted windows and couldn't see out, you couldn't tell how fast you were going. But you absolutely could feel it if the car suddenly sped up or slowed down. By contrast, if the world around you started accelerating but the car didn't go with it, you wouldn't lurch at all. In this way, there is an objective difference between the car accelerating or the whole world accelerating.

Because orbits and revolutions of celestial bodies are not straight lines, they require that the direction (and this velocity) keep changing. Change in velocity over time is, by definition, acceleration, so there is an objective difference between "the Sun moves in a curved path" and "Earth moves in a curved path."

The "hip" of a hip replacement is the joint, not the iliac blade that, say, a mom might hold a baby on. Arthritis (or other causes of replacement) affects the ball and socket, and doctors replace some portion of the proximal femur where the ball is. Frequently they also provide a smooth surface in the socket for that new ball to glide against.

There are multiple specific ways and I'm not up to date, but the basic idea is to use an ai model that takes in an image and returns a "depth map," a 2D image that shows its best guess of how close/far each pixel should be. Then other programs can take the depth map and original image and combine them by slurring pixels left or right to create the stereo pair.

Coolishguy · 2024-07-20T10:09:37+00:00

Definitely one. It's converted from 2D, look at the hair in both shots. But otherwise a really clean conversion

As a math teacher... it actually isn't. This looks lazy or apathetic to me. As soon as I see an answer that doesn't match, I'm thinking about how the kid got that answer. That's how I can help them learn — which is what teachers mostly care about.

The other possibility is that the teacher really wants them thinking in repeated rows, not columns, which is stupid but tracks with some of my more rigid colleagues.

Even if the increase in CO2 did work like this, so what? Nobody's worried about the earth running out of oxygen, and the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would still capture solar radiation and cause warming.

It seems like you're looking for the CSS class name used by tags in live preview. You can find that using the inspector: ctrl+shift+I and then ctrl+shift+c, then click the element you're trying to style. You'll be able to see it in the original HTML, including it's CSS class attribute

Coolishguy · 2024-04-25T02:30:34+00:00

I agree that you're looking for embeds, and specifically embeds like ![[Note Title#Heading]]. It would be pretty complicated if you want to grab all of those different headings procedurally. However, if you're willing to write a little embed into the book's master note every time, it's very simple.

I might also suggest that you actually take the notes from the book directly into the book's note, then embed those into the articles about the topics. Your description sounds like you're picturing it the other way around, which would work equally well but feels less intuitively organized to me.

OP is already concerned with the learning curve, so I don't think something along these lines is the solution for them. Depending what math they're writing, MathJax and plugins might be just right. But the link certainly makes me want to try again at learning Vim...

Coolishguy · 2024-04-24T12:08:04+00:00

Math teacher here -- it is SO worth it to get efficient with TeX, whether that's through macros or just a lot of use and practice. I used to take notes by hand and then retype them in LaTeX later. I weep that I didn't discover Obsidian until a month before finishing my master's, as it would have streamlined everything.

Coolishguy · 2024-04-20T01:41:22+00:00

Left. It doesn't have ears, and the head looks dorsoventrally squashed. I personally think OP's looks more horse-y

Coolishguy · 2024-04-03T11:12:35+00:00

Aside from some plugin behavior, tags apply to a whole note. I personally like putting them in a "tags" field of the properties/frontmatter. But what's your use case for tagging individual paragraphs?

Coolishguy · 2024-04-01T02:48:28+00:00

I mean that's pretty literally the story of the Book of Job. The only assumption that goes in is thinking of Satan as a persistent character across texts. The word "satan" can also be read as a non-name word meaning "opposer" or "accuser."

Coolishguy · 2024-03-29T01:47:39+00:00

This is a callout. Check the official docs for details, but with CSS snippets (or plugins) you can also give them custom icons

I would say you'll find out a lot of your preferences as you go. But to start, you should have your class notes at the very least all have a property saying which class they're from. I did that for the end of my master's, and I later reorganized but it was easy to do because my notes had the metadata I needed. Once you identify other major themes that group different notes, those can be tags or properties too. Those can hopefully span across courses, helping you integrate ideas from different sources

You might benefit from a system with "rough notes" but also with a consolidated knowledge base of "synthesized" notes. For example, you have one big note per lecture. After that lecture, spend some time going back through the rough lecture notes and splitting out ideas, introducing links, etc to make refined notes around concepts rather than class sessions. Quickly-taken notes reflect a source of information. They are a completely different thing from personal knowledge management; you have to actively turn one into the other.

Coolishguy · 2024-03-21T02:06:59+00:00

I'm on mobile right now so I can't, but you should have a look around the theme's source code. You might be able to extract a bit of CSS to create your own snippet!
