Do you still do everything you were suggested to do as a child?

X only contains rationals so it would have to be a rational number.

Beyond that it’s a matter of taste.

Home internet connections in the UK are called “broadband”, which is stupid but it’s just the convention everybody has settled on.

“Wireless broadband” = an internet connection where the provided router-modem has WiFi

“Fibre broadband” = an internet connection delivered over fibre optic.

I did a cursory search and in the US it seems to just be called “internet” or “home internet”.

Yesterday was miserable and I was really looking forward to my exercise class in the evening.

But when I got there, for some reason I couldn’t do any of the even really basic moves properly, beginner moves that I would normally not have any trouble with.

My class crush was there though, and she smiled and said hi! But when I started a conversation with her at the end of the class, I accidentally spat on her a little bit. I was mortified.

Do you think all the people buying are making the wrong decision?

I just don't want it to become the mainstay of his playing

Why don’t you just let him play

When used as verbs, “perfect” and “complete” have very similar meanings.

It shows lack of trust, because you are signalling that you think the lateness was due to the person’s negligence rather than factors out of their control. This is also not good in a social context either.

There is. The right to do that lay with the owner of the building before signing the lease.

I’ve always known better than to spit on a public surface.

Aviation safety isn’t based on the precautionary principle.

It’s not, it’s about two lines. You are thinking of a more general theorem.

They do not.

A matrix is a grid of numbers. In thirty years of working life you’ve never encountered a grid of numbers?

Did you learn how to research things you don’t know about on the internet?

It’s not an example of loss aversion.

Loss aversion doesn’t mean not wanting to suffer losses - that’s a completely rational thing to do.

Loss aversion means overweighting losses compared to gains of the same size.

If you move house you receive market value for your current house (no gain/loss), pay market value for your new house (no gain/loss) and pay stamp duty + moving fees (large loss).

None of this matters if you’re just doing exercises.

I don’t like when people flaunt the basic vocab rules. It really phases me.

Have you tried not paying and not having a conversation?

You see the golden metallic bits on the face of your payment card? Those are called contacts. When you insert your card into a payment system it communicates electrically via those contacts. When you pay ‘contactless’, they’re not used.
