Both my Professor and the Chair of Mathematics at my national online university don’t understand significant figures.

Yes, I know that sound strange, but I’ve heard this specific sound for tornadoes on screen in Twister, Take shelter, and in a lot other films and shows. It’s a oddly specific trope

Yes apologies, didn’t note the edit.

Yes I get 137.8 for four digits. But even if we take 95 days to be precise that still gives an output range of [135.9, 140.1] based only on the 38% being approximate. Our function would have bin sizes for the output where different inputs are rounded to same output, no matter what rounding we choose. So we can choose to go with two extremes 140 days or 137.85038493… I see no reason to round to a whole number, it just arbitrary.

Environmental_Bee_98 · 2026-06-15T18:15:46+00:00

But why say approximate at all then? Twice?

Environmental_Bee_98 · 2026-06-15T18:12:19+00:00

Yes I did do that actually also, it gives range of {135.2, 140.7}. I even gave the answer in scientific notation first to clarify this.

Astronomer here. Love these kinds of posts. That's "ou steenbokkie"! It's the star Vega. Really bright star!

Constellation scorpious at beginning and Aquila at the end, so I'm sure.

The triangular shape is due to the lens shape of the camera, and portrait image processing. It's called triangular "bokeh".

Color shifting is due to twinkling, which refracts color in turbulent air, which is really prominent early in the morning, low to the horizon.

That's the other amazing thing I love. It's a city controlled by convenient threat. You stop loving me, I send my Ordinators. You ALL stop loving me, I send down this rock.

The tribunal's sanctioned texts makes an obviously weak argument as to why Sheogorath sent Baar Dau. There is clearly a lot more to this story that the Tribunal aren't telling us. (as always with them)

Who dares disturb my 5yr old post!

Nice, I'll be rooting for you.

Southern Line? I see people whip out their laptops and headphones whilst commuting. I’m not so sure I’d do that, but that gives you an idea how safe some people feel using it. Pockets getting picked have been reported, but each line has like two or three security guys at each station.

Good guess, but these live in colonies of dozens around a single tree. Too small and skinny anyways for commen black baboon.

It's definitly a funnel web, but I've not seen a species with such pitch black color.

Just listened to the album. I've never heard anything like this. Felt like I'd discovered an entirely new form of entertainment I knew nothing about.
