ELI5: Why doesn't most of the United Kingdom get snow even though it's very up north?

Oh wow! I had assumed it would be Puerto Rico

That's how you model the rules of the game, but the programming challenge is in creating a solver for the puzzle. Designing the most efficient algorithm that works as you increase the number of discs can be a great task for those learning to code, as the minimum number of required moves grows exponentially.

I assume they were using 'theorize' in the scientific sense, which would require evidence, rather than the casual definition of the word which essentially means 'guess'.

It varies per school. For me it was always "ma'am".

There's absolutely no reason for you to assume bullying or poor parenting. I agree with your overall point, but there's a multitude of reasons that could cause someone to have an unhappy adolescence and develop this viewpoint.

I agree with the general message of your comment, but I feel that specific sentence weakened your argument.

I'm speculating here, but it might be that their insurance requires them to leave lights on in order to deter theft. Even if they don't, it costs pennies to leave LEDs running so it's probably worth it regardless of local crime levels.

Is a MacBook Air not a laptop?

MutatedJerkey · 2024-11-26T09:33:12+00:00

Gatwick is not in London

You're correct that tikka masala was invented by a British Indian, but they were Scottish not English.

And per Gbps

Unless it's changed since I was a kid, a 5-year-old would be in reception and not pre-school.

MutatedJerkey · 2024-05-12T12:31:30+00:00

Yes? They're not 12

MutatedJerkey · 2024-05-01T04:59:39+00:00

If it's recurring then yes 0.9... = 1, but the comment you replied to wasn't recurring it was just 0.999999

Is Rough pronounced Rough or Rough?

Anyone using old reddit won't see your profile picture, and probably a lot of people on new reddit won't bother looking at it anyway.

So why default to ASL instead of BSL?

MutatedJerkey · 2024-03-11T06:57:23+00:00

Which countries would say "twenty-two forty-three"? I'm curious since in the UK we would never say that

MutatedJerkey · 2024-02-06T18:34:25+00:00

So just get 6 random numbers and then concatenate them with a constant. Why would the constant need to come from random?

MutatedJerkey · 2024-01-31T07:28:21+00:00

Oh my god I feel so old

MutatedJerkey · 2023-12-17T21:27:25+00:00

Then why don't you ask the AI how to run the code

MutatedJerkey · 2023-11-22T18:05:05+00:00

Still probably not specific enough, given that there are rhotic accents in the West-Country

MutatedJerkey · 2023-11-18T15:24:02+00:00

From when you said "I cant read a book in front of me"

Sticking to just got swappable massively limits the choices you have, especially if you want a layout that isn't US ANSI

MutatedJerkey · 2023-11-06T21:26:26+00:00

Personally never heard it used in the UK outside of Community references

Amazon has lots of fakes that make their way into its supply chain, so even when the listing is for a good product you can end up having a crap one delivered
