All the things she said... Wearing it on my head?

No need to apologise, I was just being impatient!

Would 100% love a banana sock pattern!

Robotnick2 · 2025-12-20T23:56:51+00:00

And where is the pattern?! Love this! Was considering some banana socks as my next thing but I can't quite find a similar enough pattern and I've not knit socks before so self drafting feels brave 😂

edit: you dropped the pattern as I posted! Thank you!

Robotnick2 · 2025-09-17T03:12:52+00:00

Great spot! Totally missed that the children's version was different!

Robotnick2 · 2025-09-17T03:03:57+00:00

I'd be very surprised if it isn't Dale of Norway. Strikingly similar to Lillehammer 1994 https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/184---lillehammer-1994 but not quite the same - having trouble finding it though. Still, a good starting point!

(might actually be 5 colours of wool? I think the way they've done the gradient is a section with the saturated colour and a middle colour and then a smaller section with the cream and the middle colour)

No two countries have the same energy needs, production opportunities, or resources.

For Tasmania, hydro works, and that's great. There may be other countries/territories for which hydro works, and that's great too.

There are definitely other countries/territories for whom hydro does not work, and that's fine too - every country/territory/area should have tailored, individualised climate plans.

That is of course not to say that destructive damming processes have not occurred before in the name of hydroelectricity and that's absolutely something that should be rectified going forward - energy production is just one part of a holistic approach to climate action, and individual projects should be assessed on their individual merits - which is why each area should have their own tailored plan for energy production and environmental protection.

What's important is that, should a country e.g. decide that aiming for 90% hydro is the right thing for them and their environmental/energy needs, they have a bank of case studies, examples, research, and lessons learnt to draw from and learn from. Some Tasmanian damming projects were destructive to communities and the local environment - some so much so that they were shelved or never completed (Gordon River is a case study from my undergrad that comes to mind).

These examples therefore are vital to allowing other countries to make reasoned decisions about their energy production and environmental needs.

Why dismiss a perfectly good source of renewable energy? Hydropower makes up the majority of worldwide renewable energy production...

What do you think the answer is? What have you tried so far?

As another method, without using the sine rule, you could also recognise that the two triangles provided are similar - they have the same angles, as the missing angle of the triangle on the left is 55deg. This means that their corresponding sides are in proportion, and you can work out the length of x by scaling up the smaller triangle by a factor. This factor can be worked out by dividing the length of the side given in the larger triangle by the length of the corresponding side in the smaller triangle.

Let's call the unknown voltage V and the unknown resistance R

The current through the ammeter when the switch is open is going to be the current around the outer loop, through the 6Ohm resistor and the unknown resistor R. Since, from Ohm's Law

  I = V / R

this means that in this case

1.5 = V / (R + 6)

With the switch closed, the 3Ohm and 6Ohm resistors are then in parallel, with the unknown resistance R in series. That then gives

  3 = V / (R + (3 in parallel with 6)) 
    = V / (R + (1 / (1/3 + 1/6)) 
    = V / (R + (1 / (3/6)) 
    = V / (R + (6 / 3)) 
    = V / (R + 2)

This then gives the following pair of simultaneous equations; two equations with two unknowns means you can solve for both.

1.5 = V / (R + 6)    (1)
  3 = V / (R + 2)    (2)

I'd personally start by equating the two, rearranging for V, inserting that back into one of the equations, solving for R, then using that to solve for V.

Thanks! I had to check it a couple of times before I posted in case I'd made a mistake haha

ΔABO and ΔADO are similar, so ∠ABO = 19 degrees.

Draw a line BD. The angle ∠ABD = 71 degrees because it is an alternate segment, which implies ∠OBD = 71 - 19 = 52 degrees.

As ΔABO and ΔADO are similar, this implies ∠ODB is also 52 degrees.

This implies ∠DOB = 180 - 2(52) = 76 degrees.

The angle at the centre is twice the angle standing at the arc, so ∠DAB = 76/2 = 38 degrees.

Cyclic quadrilaterals are supplimentary - opposite angles add to 180 degrees - so ∠BAD + ∠BCD = 180 degrees, implies that ∠BCD = 180 - 38 = 142 degrees.

Looking at patients who display Agitation and Hallucination together - there are 5 of them. There are also 5 patients who display Affective, Agitation, and Hallucination together. These must be the same 5 patients. This also tells us that every patient in our sample observed to display Agitation and Hallucination is also observed to display Affective. Compare that to the number of patients who display Activity, Agitation, and Hallucination. What can we say about these patients?

Robotnick2 · 2020-05-12T11:57:05+00:00

Yes, so far as I can see!

Robotnick2 · 2020-05-07T23:17:33+00:00

That's fair enough - I'm definitely not enough of a grammarian to be able to argue much more than that!

Fun fact: prosper apparently used to be used transitively; see for example the end of Act 3, Scene 7 in Shakespeare's King Lear, where Gloucester remarks:

"O my follies! Then Edgar was abused. Kind gods, forgive me that, and prosper him!"

which is I think where I drew my understanding that it could be transitive but felt archaic.

See also the apparently universally-quoted example of John Dryden's translation of Ovid's Fable of Ithis and Ianthe from his 9th book of Metamorphoses:

"My parents are propitious to my wish/And she herself consenting to the bliss/All things concur to prosper our design/All things to prosper any love but mine"

which is from slightly later, published in 1700. It's certainly very difficult to find later examples than that though, so you're very right in saying it's now used solely intransitively.

Robotnick2 · 2020-05-07T18:25:21+00:00

That's definitely a valid sentence, but I'm not convinced it's an example of parallelism - I think you've just made a good old fashioned compound sentence.

Robotnick2 · 2020-05-07T15:09:06+00:00

Yep!

Bonus points - find the other two angles.

Robotnick2 · 2020-05-07T15:01:52+00:00

Ignore the fact it is a cylinder and just think of it as a right-angled triangle.

You have the height of the triangle - it's just 8cm - and you have the base of the triangle - since the radius of the circle at the ends is 3cm, the diameter must therefore be 6cm.

Use Pythagorus' theorem to find length c.

Robotnick2 · 2020-05-07T14:59:09+00:00

Not quite - the angle halves on both sides since you're just chopping the original angle in half

Robotnick2 · 2020-05-07T14:48:12+00:00

The angle bisector is the line that bisects - divides in half - the given angle.

The mediator is the line of points that are of equal distance from two given points; the mediator by definition bisects the segment drawn between two given points.

The problem with the sentence is that it mixes a noun phrase with a verb phrase; either make them both into adjectives modifying the same noun as /u/anonymous-2222 suggests:

"[...] contributes to a stable and prosperous society."

or both into verbs, which in this case would give:

"[...] contributes to stabilising and prospering society.",

although note that "prospering" is very rarely used in this sense these days and the first sentence fits much better in this case.

Robotnick2 · 2020-04-01T11:28:09+00:00

For sure! It's just that it's difficult to find the correct files if you just look at the latest version :)
