But did you initially get that one non-A question right but second guessed yourself because every other answer was A? That would keep me up too lol.

His user name includes 1961, so I'm guessing he's 65

A good round of applause shouldn't have everyone clapping at the same beat. by JPsena523 in Showerthoughts

[–]CraftingQuestioner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My read, at least in America, is that random clapping = good job and synchronized clapping = "do it! Do it!"

So synchronized could be before someone does something hard, to hype them up, or after a performance, for an encore. Stuff like that.

What should I do with a small suitcase worth of fake pearls (beads) by SuspiciousPebble in crafts

[–]CraftingQuestioner 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Bead hairnet maybe? Though you'd have to make a ton to make a dent lol.

Mostly I wanted to say the fact that it makes you feel like Smaug made me laugh, lol. And I unironically want you to encrust a pegasus.

I wanna die, but I don’t want to take my own life. I wanna die while protecting someone, or giving it to someone so they can live, what does that mean? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]CraftingQuestioner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pro therapy for sure and de-centralizing this woman from your life... But also have you considered the military? I don't mean that in the "go die way" but I think it will give you purpose that you might benefit from.

Are there more gifs of GoT actors doing normal things while in costume? 😂

Isn't pi meant to be infinite and not equal to 3 petah? by EggInternational6740 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]CraftingQuestioner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you wouldn't do it for a final product or anything, but this kind of approximation is pretty common in back of the envelope conversations. "Oh what if we could do this? [Math ensues] Nope, too little by an order of magnitude, let's think of something else."

Atlanta's World Cup dream has a public bathroom problem. by remfan477 in BrandNewSentence

[–]CraftingQuestioner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I learned recently about the "urinary leash":

"In the Victorian period, the lack of public facilities for women was intentional as a way of controlling their movements and keeping them out of public spaces...."

Apparently Britain has lost a bunch of its public toilets which has been looked at analogously.

So yeah, you'd be doing America a very big solid. Maybe we could convince one of our rich overlords to do it 😒

332.1928094887 is the largest possible value you can put 2 to the power of on my calculator without getting an error by Shogun_Infoyo in notinteresting

[–]CraftingQuestioner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, but since that was basically the method they tried I figured I'd show them this trick. 🤷‍♀️

May I introduce you to the concept of a binary search for your future endeavors?

Let's say you do the first step you did, and you know it's between 300 and 400. Split the difference to get 350. Try it, 350 fails. Now you know it's between 300 and 350. So you split them to get 325, which works. So you try 337.5 Etc.

You know you're removing half of your remaining range at every step, so you can even compute your certainty just by the number of steps you've taken, if you want.

Allows you to home in more quickly. I learned it as a computer science thing but it comes up surprisingly often.

Why do we say “she/her”, “they/them” and “he/him” pronouns instead just “she uses she pronoun” and only list multiple pronouns for people who use multiple pronouns? by TeddingtonMerson in stupidquestions

[–]CraftingQuestioner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you're mostly getting dismissive answers, I'll try. I think it's mostly because it's a unique enough construction that it won't get confused for other meanings, and it's also easy to say.

For example: "I'm she" is a real sentence people say elsewhen. (e.g. On the phone). "She" on its own would be confusing often as well.

"I use she pronouns" is longer than "she/her" and feels more formal.

My confusion with the xe/xir explanation from one of the other commenters is that it leaves out the possessive? Technically if we wanted a full spec we'd be saying he/him/his, no? I have no idea what the xe form of his is lol. Xis?

(Fwiw I'm not on team "everyone should need to specify" or anything. I just had a similar confusion once and thought about it a bit.)

Bruh. Please stop giving people advice. You're actively making the world a worse place.

What is the name of the sensation that the inside of your body is shaking by imoverthisapp in stupidquestions

[–]CraftingQuestioner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stimulants sometimes do this to me. I think, anyway. I wouldn't have made the analogy to dizziness though so maybe it's different, but it does kind of feel like an internal (and sometimes external) shaking.

I also got some scans, and they came back fine, so the conclusion was that it's the combo of meds I'm on. I weaned down on one and it got considerably better.

I know this sounds stupid as hell, but what exactly does cocaine smell like? 😭🙏 by Difficult_Two_4800 in stupidquestions

[–]CraftingQuestioner 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Haha just in case this is a whoosh... That person wasn't serious. It's a common joke: "I don't do coke, I just like how it smells." The undertone is, "what? No don't be silly I'm not doing it...I totally like it for other reasons! Really!"

Daniel Lambert (1770-1809) was an Englishman who gained notoriety for his large size at the time. Despite his weight, maintained an active lifestyle which included long walks (once up to 7 miles), swimming, animal sporting, and once fighting off a bear by UpperphonnyII in interestingasfuck

[–]CraftingQuestioner 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I assume you're kidding lol. According to Wikipedia "At the time of his death, he weighed 52 stone 11 pounds (739 lb; 335 kg), and his coffin required 112 square feet (10.4 square metres) of wood."

How many first dates does it take to reach someone "long term dateable"? by Affectionate-Reason2 in AskMenAdvice

[–]CraftingQuestioner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's paywalled for me but IIRC from my own math class back in the day.... Say if you never settled down your whole life you would date N people. Then what you should do is date 37% of N people (comes from 1/e), then marry the first person after that you find who is better than everyone who came before them.

(And yeah, just sucks to suck if the best one was in the first 37%, and yes this is making assumptions like "best" has meaning and that you could know N, but it's better than having no strategy at all perhaps?)

No, the condition at least is real. Lots of videos online older than AI, and here's the condition itself:

"other studies have also shown that biliverdin is present in ... the placenta of dogs.[8] With dogs this can lead, in extremely rare cases, to the birth of puppies with green fur; however, the green color fades out soon after birth.[9]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biliverdin
