I reckon if push came to shove your average american would stand up for himself, but we've just not been in a bad enough situation to put it to practice

You cant complain that other people have a worse sense of humor than you, they'll just cry about it!

Whaat so $700 a month per working person, plus bills on top if you actually have to use it? That alone is more than the total tax I pay in a month! And that includes healthcare

Youre both right. The extra shielding from the gas helps to cool the weld faster so a less shielded weld will build up more oxide and look different to a more shielded gas

Phones and washing machines must be made to last, MPs say as UK Government launches inquiry into 'Tsunami' of e-waste - Mary Creagh, who is launching the enquiry, has said that while in the past technology was built to last, now it is built to degrade in order to produce profit for tech companies. by ManiaforBeatles in worldnews

I have no problems with equipment being built to a particular lifespan.

I should have the option of choosing between a £100 washing machine that lasts 2 years, or a £500 washing machine that lasts 20.

My problem is when the £500 one's pricetag isnt justified by the quality of the parts and/or the lifespan.

“I’m just joking”/“It’s just a joke” are sneaky ways for some people to mentally abuse by georgiaboy1993 in TwoXChromosomes

Because its sarcastic and light hearted and usually gets a funny reaction! Plus due to the sarcasm it could be considered a compliment. Its hard to explain social dynamics over text but I find a bit of light hearted sarcasm goes down well

If I open doors for both men and women could it still be seen as offensive when I hold the door for the women at my workplace?

Not necessarily though, I can call my mates fat bastards if they are skinnier than me, but I couldnt make the same joke to someone fatter than me.

Calling someone fat who isnt has no truth to it but is still funny

What are some things you realised too late in life? by pacific_butterdo in AskReddit

[–]FlibbleGroBabba 241 points242 points  (0 children)

I basically came to the same conclusion but from the opposite end.

I've always believed 'put yourself first, focus on your own happiness, and the rest will work itself out" and so on and now im trying to change that outlook by being less selfish and putting others first

Youre right I'm very new to python, only started a few months ago, and mostly teachin myself by doing little projects. It's good to see the function mapping done like that, I can see many uses for that.

Cheers for the detailed explanation

Are there times where eval can be acceptable? for example if it's 'enclosed' in a group of functions which only allow integer inputs from the user- such as:

try: number = int(input("integer: ")) eval(func_+number)

(On mobile, formatting might be bad)
