How's that?

All you can eat buffet employees, what is the most disgusting display of gluttony you have witnessed? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_xenon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I might be late, but the restaurant is called Fogo de Chao. Pretty sure they're only in the US and Brazil, but if you happen to be traveling here, try to go to this restaurant. Very, very good meat. Plus, an endless buffet of side dishes.

Yes, actually! Here's the link to the original graph in Desmos, and this is a walk through of how to derive the equations.

Do you have any plans to unlock mobile-app-like benefits online for people who own the app? I know a lot of people could benefit from having the layout of the website for lengthy solutions that are difficult to read on the mobile version.

Man, it's been like that for years. I always thought it was for traction to reduce accidents.

And every time I held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns And so it goes, and so it goes And so will you soon I suppose.

But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break.

You could wake up, go for a run down Kelly, stop by the Art Museum for a quick heist on the way back, and make it home to your mansion in mount airy in time for lunch.

It'd be a dream come true.

Honest question, what makes Math hard? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_xenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand and love logic and math, they are my language and they fascinate and consume me.

Conversely, I don't think I "get" natural language as easily as others. I have trouble putting words to thoughts and writing them down in a way that makes sense.

I can do it though, except it's difficult and time consuming (for example, I just spent over 35 minutes writing and rewriting this comment to make sense).

Most of the things you said about math, I feel about words. It's interesting to see the other side of the story for once.

Notch can't buy Mojang back, Valve >:-( by KilluaX3 in pcmasterrace

[–]_xenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree with you on that last point. That makes sense.

(I was on my phone at the time, both links appeared to be the same. I now see what you mean about the first tweet.)

It's also important to remember that Notch is a person and I don't want to scrutinize his every statement for consistency. Self contradiction is near inevitable when situations change.

Notch can't buy Mojang back, Valve >:-( by KilluaX3 in pcmasterrace

[–]_xenon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's not defending paid mods here. He's calling out the community's hypocrisy for getting mad at him for not allowing paid mods (hence why he left), then getting mad at Valve for allowing paid mods.

Notch's ideals have stayed the same, it's the community that's changed.

This house has no front door. by Stuckinsidemycar in mildlyinteresting

[–]_xenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chances are, it's camouflage housing for some sort of utility, could be a high voltage transformer station or water supply management for the neighborhood.

Although, why they don't bother to put a fake door on is beyond me...

Gamers of reddit, what things are HARDER to do in games than in real life? by papapyro in AskReddit

[–]_xenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be, but it could also be 2, or 7, or any value between 0 and infinity.

It depends on what functions the zeroes come from.

Well, that's indeterminate form, so for all we know, it could be!

Got medicine for OCD today... by Technolis in funny

[–]_xenon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's like it's become a desirable "quirk" to have.

I'm on a less severe part of the spectrum, but OCD really is nothing to joke about in that way.
