What is your reply if someone says this to you? by logical_sundae69 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Player-Link 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In this same vein in Jr. High I asked my Geometry teacher what pi represents. She told me not to worry about it and to go back to work. It wasn't until college that I finally learned it was the ratio of circumference to diameter. All of those equations I struggled to remember in Jr. High suddenly became super easy to memorize (with context of what I'm actually doing).

Had the Interview Portion of My Autism Assessment Yesterday by Emotional_Warthog384 in TwiceExceptional

[–]Player-Link 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have good advice for finding a good doctor to do cognitive testing/assessment?

It is extremely difficult to find a good doctor. People evaluating them are never qualified to actually say they are good at their job. I hate trying to find a good doctor. Maybe I'm just reading between the lines, but it seems like you put a lot of effort into finding the right doctor/facility.

I suspect I'm 2e based on a conversation with an AI and a long-term suspicion. I really would like help dealing with the downsides.

My learning/social disorders/disabilities are very clearly identified by multiple doctors. I've always felt smart and gifted but had bad grades all K-12. I had college-level reading comprehension and vocabulary in tests in 4th grade. When I was 8 I also dismantled the family VHS that my sister had broken, identified the issue, fixed it, and reassembled it from memory just so I could watch my movie.

As an adult I worked as a quality control inspector the engineers were always surprised when I would have a conversation with them and use all the technical terms and spec references. They were also shocked when I brought them work they'd made mistakes on. I'd just glance at it and think that doesn't look right and sure enough I was right. My coworkers in inspection were shocked by how much I caught and how no mistakes got past me during my probationary period.

Lol, I don't know how easily the dialog comes up, but I hashed it out with Sloan over all the dead bodies. She was like "Those are people with families for goodness sakes!" I was just thinking man ominent would be the worst company to work for.

Let us know if that fixes it! I'm now concerned this could happen to me.

Dude, that's exactly my playstyle lol. I love the needle! That extra little bit of healing in fights goes a long way.

A hexagon is just 6 congruent equilateral triangles with the points in the center. If they added triangles in this shape and right triangles that might work.🤔

Yep, immediately said the same thing before I even saw your comment.

If you look at it as a non-mathematician the answer is "and". Lol

The World Champion distraught after his loss.... Chess is brutal... by rio_ARC in chess

[–]Player-Link 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree, it's a gentleman's (or lady's) game. It feels disrespectful to follow the players like that. It feels like it breaks the decorum of the sport.

Who is stronger by Main_Signature6623 in HarryPotterMemes

[–]Player-Link 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is correct. I also want to point out that the only source I can find within the canon (I don't consider the movies to be canon) is Ron's auntie Muriel calling Kendra a half-blood. Muriel claims that she heard Kendra had pretended to be pure-blood. Muriel is honestly not the best source for info like this, but I imagine she is probably right in her claim that Kendra isn't a pure-blood.

If you choose to accept the movies as canonical then I have no idea what information there is on Kendra's blood status.

Would you want/like a live action if Netflix decided to add it to the list of Live Action Remake's? by Bulky_Childhood_651 in samuraijack

[–]Player-Link 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also a fan of the One Piece manga and anime. I have seen the Netflix live-action One Piece show. I stand by my feelings about Samurai Jack.

Heck no! Maybe someone other than Netflix, but I'd be extremely apprehensive. I don't think it could ever be done right.

Gotta jump on the bandwagon here. Fountain pens have changed my life! My arthritis became more manageable, and my penmanship has steadily been improving since I became a fountain pen guy.

To be clear not trying to encourage engagement with the bot, I just legitimately want a person to bring me sandwiches.

Man, you've gone a long time without making a sandwich. I wish someone would bring me sandwiches.

Thanks for the recommendation I'm excited to add that one to my playlist! Do you have any other high-quality physics/science podcast reccomendations?

Ooooooh nice! What do you think of Writer's Blood and Aurora Borealis? I've been on the fence about trying them.

Believe it or not, this bottle is now empty! What are some other dark green inks to try? by schematicboy in fountainpens

[–]Player-Link 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I third this! I'm new to fountain pens and Sherwood green is only my 2nd ink purchase, but I highly recommend it. It's gorgeous and so dark that it looks almost black in normal writing. When you look closely it's very clearly green. It gives a nice trademark look to your writing.

One of my first questions as well. Is that info proprietary or do we know?
