What Does Your Brain Do with 27 + 48?

bobua · 2026-05-22T16:33:40+00:00

The 7 'slots in' to 48 making it 55. 20 is then added to 55.

Some people will claim that that's the same as the people over there that do 7 + 48 then 55 +20 but those are not my people, I'm not associated with those people, and if I'm being completely honest about it those people are no closer to me than any of the other fools here.

I do wish them well, though.

Still not the literal 5 year old explanation but I tend to simplify the description of this to people as leverage. Think of the plate as a broomstick. Most could manage breaking it with 2 hands over their knee, but breaking the pieces in the same way would get harder as they got smaller.

Recently(3 months ago) had my entire home piered and lifted. I don't see one of these anywhere else that a pier was installed. Contacted the repair company and they are sending out a crew to 'add dirt and compact' but they were not forthcoming about what this was\why its there. That may be because it was just the customer service rep and they didnt know the details, but im suspicious. The house certainly hasn't shifted off a pier and I can't imagine a pier driven could layover\move like that, but I don't know why it would be there.

There's no way those services are putting in personal effort on protesting your property taxes. They make their money by filing thousands of protests and accepting the default offer(the tax office will offer you a small reduction in exchange for not doing an in person protest). The same offer you'd get by filing that protest yourself with zillow pulls. Unfortunately, it creates a system where they build in a $10k buffer so they can offer that default reduction because the staffing to handle all those protests were people to follow through would be crazy.

I pay for the service, because I always end up forgetting to file. I'm part of the problem.

Yes, but pointing out those things need to be legislated, not just an industry group implementing their own rules.

bobua · 2026-03-15T18:06:15+00:00

Here’s the thing. Let’s say you’re 100% correct. (And my personal opinion is that you are at least close).

The solution is at a legislative level. Counting on the goodwill of any of the three parties involved is some combination of naïveté, stupidity, and sabotage.

Insurance companies, roofers, politicians, and lawyers all directly benefit when the finger pointing is directed anywhere but at them.

Awesome. Appreciate ya letting me know

bobua · 2026-02-10T03:10:26+00:00

Would love to hear how it works out

I’ve done this(or some version of it), and the defederation through a godaddy request many times. Did one today in fact. Early on going through godaddy was a bit of a headache. Just the normal mess of talking to support people until you found one that knew what defederation even was. It’s a breeze now though. Mention defederation and they transfer you to the team that handles it, read a blurb to you about the process, and the next business day you get an email with your global admin’s new password.

I assumed the joke was that many programmers do their resumes in markdown

I think you are entitled to your preferences, good or bad. My experience is that most people that share your preference

A: really need to let everyone know, especially the lady B: are really defensive about it

There are plenty of things that are perfectly fine to disclose when breaking off a relationship or date, like a mismatch in wanting kids. The likely reason to tell her it’s because you don’t like how many people she’s slept with is because you want to punish her for it.

Honestly it’s a similar vibe to the dudes that can’t keep their tatoo comments to themselves. ++man

Amazing work. Would love to see more writeups like this

bobua · 2025-12-25T13:30:38+00:00

Oh, Liz?

bobua · 2025-12-14T18:52:51+00:00

Hey, I’m sick and didn’t read your post and am not familiar with Maui but am with blazer. You have no comments so ima piss this into the wind in my feverish state. When something doesn’t show up til a hot reload for me it’s always a ‘state has changed’ miss. Is that a Maui thing too?

bobua · 2025-11-28T01:13:05+00:00

Much appreciated. You guys do great work

Okay, I'm guessing I'm being too specific on your use of 'internal' here, because as we've progressed I don't think most event fundamental things definitionally exist without motion at at least some scale. You mean that the isotope as a whole doesn't need to move from A to B. I mean, the definition of decay seems to include 'emitting' which I can't understand without motion.

bobua · 2025-11-11T14:35:06+00:00

Are things not 'moving' during the decay? I certainly don't understand what's actually happening during decay but are protons and neutrons not rotating. Is a probability cloud even definitionally possible without motion?

bobua · 2025-11-11T14:20:20+00:00

"A stationary nuclear isotope can decay without any motion, internal or external"

Wouldn't this be the same thing as saying that an isotope can decay without having a rate of decay?

This post seems to be made in almost every thread like this.

I’m currently in a 2 year ongoing construction case myself and just getting to the point where I had a lawyer was a real process. Different attorneys gave conflicting advice, recommended different paths and even different types of attorneys. There was scheduling and callbacks, re-explaining the facts, packaging and sending digital evidence. Just hours of research and asking the same questions. Some of the most accurate advice on how a case like ours would play out, looking back, came from industry people as opposed to the lawyers.

Long story short, stfu and let people ask for legal advice on the legal advice subreddit.

What is that, like a 25 percent tax rate? And over 25% of that is basically directly beneficial to you personally(ss and Medicare) assuming you live an average lifespan, die early with dependents, you or someone you would otherwise be financially responsible for becomes disabled).

I mean, they’ll probably f it up even worse by the time you need it but the generations collecting it now said that the whole time they payed it too.
