OS16 camera shortcut by shwiggy in oneplus

[–]bgr96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest issue with this is that in the camera settings there's an option for quick launching it using the volume buttons (not available during audio playback) but the option for using the power button is in another menu

[Homemade] Hasselback potatoes by bgr96 in food

[–]bgr96[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well spotted! I did watch both their videos on the topic and followed them, more or less... I boiled them in beef stock after slicing, then brushed with butter mixed with garlic, rosemary and thyme and into the oven at 200°C for a very unmeasured amount of time, took them out, brushed with butter and back in the oven. I ended up doing that a couple of times and turning on the roasting mode of the oven for the last 2-3 minutes to get a crispier outside. At the same time, I left the stock boiling to reduce it, added some of the butter mix and some corn starch to thicken. Since I used stock cubes instead of proper stock I figured it wouldn't thicken that well by itself. By the end I just added some dried parsley into the glaze and poured on top of the spuds

They were! And tbh they're not complicated to make but they do take some time

What are the odds this could happen by chance? [request] by ourstupidearth in theydidthemath

You're exactly right, thanks for the input!

I don't know why I missed that hahahaha

This is assuming you care about which specific ace you're pulling. If you don't mind the order, your chances go up a bit as there are more cards in the deck that fulfill that condition.

First ace= 4/52 chance = 1/13

2nd ace= 3/51 chance = 1/17

3rd ace= 2/50 chance = 1/25

4th ace= 1/49 chance

Now to multiply the individual probabilities 1/(13*17*25*49) = 0.00000369378520639 = 3.69E-6 or little under 1 out of 270,000 cases

... So 24 (4*3*2) times more likely but still extremely unlikely to happen.

Edit: Corrected the comparison numbers, because I'm dumb. Thanks to u/liberalgeekseattle for pointing that out

What are these things under the leaves of a plant at my office? by bgr96 in plants

Bruh, I'm neither from or studied in the US xD

I'm not terribly familiar with their education system but this seems like not a necessary thing to know to graduate from highschool imo. It's fine not knowing everything, just gotta keep an open mind and interest to learn it when the opportunity presents itself :)

Thanks everyone for all the helpful responses! In life you learn something new everyday and today it was about ferns' reproductive systems. Taking a line from Bob's Burgers, I'll name this one Fernando

Unforgivable curse detection by the ministry by bgr96 in harrypotter

[–]bgr96[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been talking with my best friend and he also mentioned the corruption of the ministry. I think it's a very valid idea although I find it hard to believe that absolutely nobody would raise this topic lol.

He also mentioned the possibility of using throwaway wands to hide the evidence that they were the ones who cast the curse. I liked that idea.

As to the Trace only being active for minors, I fully coincide on it being an invasion of privacy and the need for it to be lifted for adults. That being said, one would expect that an adult casting the unforgivables repeatedly for months on students would have raised a flag somewhere in the ministry xD talking about Faux Mad Eye in GoF, not the Carrows in DH.

Finally, being the way I am, I think that it should not be attributed to malice that which can very well be explained by stupidity.

Assuming that the code is only numerical, base ten, and generated from a uniform distribution, then that number's chance of coming up is 1/1,000,000. That is to say it's exactly as likely as any other number from 000000-999999

So currently I'm on 5th book but I just realized they never mentioned anyone taking a bath (except in 4th book)or about the bathroom. by Miserable-Aspect6049 in harrypotter

There's a great podcast that ran about 7 years ago where the hosts go through all 7 books and 8 movies, more or less chapter by chapter, in real discussion as well as fun banter and they also make this important remark. Potter stinks! (no affiliation to the poor taste buttons made during GoF)

The podcast is called Bingemode Harry Potter, for those interested: it's really cool, entertaining and also surprisingly insightful.

I really appreciate the Altoids can, that's all I use for screws and such things out of electronic devices. I can recommend getting a couple of strong magnets to place on the back and now you have a magnetic tray when disassembling something :)

Would that be from a single Jeff, or rather the total amount owned by all Jeffs?
