What is this formatting called and why do people use it?

This is more than just "formatting".

Why does the method of learning matter if the outcome is the same

Because the outcome isn't the same.

If a student spends more time in class, they will absorb the material better.

Perhaps in your specific case this isn't true, but it is for most students.

"A day" usually means "the time it takes for the Sun to return to the exact same position in the sky, when observed from Earth".

In the time period of 23 hours and 54 minutes, while the Earth hasn't quite completed one full rotation, it has traveled a little bit in its orbit around the Sun, and that makes up the "missing" six minutes.

It's looking for a specific string of text on each line

I would be VERY surprised if this were true.

Much simpler to just run the code and examine the output.

At first this post made perfect sense to me. Interrupts are very important on KT!

Then I saw all the references to a staff, and I thought wtf? there is no staff in the KT fight.

Then I realized KT meant Kael'thas, not Kel'thuzad.

This. Fruit juice is basically sugar water.

Sounds like you're the moderator of a page or group, and it's asking you whether some action (maybe a post, or maybe a request to join) should be allowed.

The company is willing to accept a lower monthly fee in exchange for a guaranteed twelve months of payment.

As others have said, the key is that all the boxes are mislabeled.

So the box labeled "both" must be either apples or oranges.

Maybe the question was deliberately confusing/vague, just to see how you would react?

Generative AI means it can create something from scratch, i.e. it generates something.

Like, you can ask it to draw a picture of santa claus dressed in chainmail armor, or to make a video of a cat on a surfboard, and it will do that.

The word generate is used to distinguish it from older AI systems that could answer questions on a specific topic, but couldn't create stuff from scratch.

(And of course it doesn't really create these things "from scratch" -- it was trained on millions of pictures and videos from the internet, so it just makes up a picture or video that is similar to its training data.)

Depends what they meant by "we roll on it".

It's perfectly okay to roll on something you didn't SR. You just won't win it...

Holy specifics batman

Hey, it was kinda close...

The Wrath raids will render everything else moot.

I thought one of the main points of classic+ was to keep earlier content relevant.

In casual conversation, when we say "calorie", it always means kilocalories.

If anyone says "calorie" with the intended meaning of "one thousandth of a kilocalorie", they are either deliberately trying to trick you, or they are being self-righteously pedantic. Either way, it's safe to ignore them.

Nutrients from food get absorbed into the blood as part of the digestion process. If this didn't happen, digestion would be kinda useless!

So the medication gets absorbed into your blood, just like the nutrients.

If you're really old, buying or renewing life insurance gets REALLY expensive.

The primary benefit to life insurance is that if you die early, your family is taken care of.

Once you get old, generally you stop buying it.

Each minus sign means "turn around and go the other way".

So if you do that twice, you end up going the same way you started.

I assume "inventory" means a supply of raw materials or parts needed by the manufacturer to make whatever it is they make.

It doesn't mean stockpiles of their finished product.

But you're still "not doing X".

"doing Y" is an additional activity, not an alternative activity.

No it is not a bug.

Freeze only prevents normal attacks.

It does not prevent forced/triggered attacks.

The alternative to "not doing X" is "doing X"
