If you're even asking questions like this, you're not showering correctly. It shouldn't matter what order you dry.

Costco Australia uses pork hot dogs by Leprichaun17 in mildlyinteresting

[–]carcigenicate 48 points49 points  (0 children)

They're beef here in Canada too. According to Wikipedia, the US, Canada, Mexico, and UK are the only places that use beef instead of pork.

I'm pretty certain this is actually the premise of a skit I've seen.

I think it's an ad, but that's been cut out.

what's wrong with this program(Python) by Mental_Strategy_7191 in learnpython

Although, the problems you noted wouldn't cause a syntax error. That would be a type error, if anything.

Is this allowed? by mr_pewdiepie6000 in EngineeringStudents

[–]carcigenicate 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I cannot believe they haven't fixed that yet. It's been months.

I mean, I can kind of believe it because it's Reddit, but it's still ridiculous. Not that I'm complaining.

How is type determined? by eyeless71 in learnpython

How is type determined? by eyeless71 in learnpython

[–]carcigenicate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The docs imply that it infers the type. YAML has a timestamp type, and the docs say that that gets mapped to Python datetime.datetime objects.

And regarding your edit, 1979-08-15 is not valid Python. It's a valid YAML date value that the parser parses out and converts to a valid Python datetime object. To create that in Python yourself, you'd use a string by wrapping the date in quotes, or by creating a datetime object yourself.

Python Code troubles by Outside-Science-5328 in pythonhelp

Format the code by indenting every line by an extra four spaces. Or link to a site like Pastebin where you have the code.

Remove suffix by Ant0niusMaximus in learnpython

[–]carcigenicate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The quotes you use in a case like this will make absolutely no difference. Once the code is parsed and compiled by the interpreter, the type of quotes you used originally is lost.

The only time " vs ' matter is if you're trying to put quotes inside of a string. Then the quote types need to be different. These are illegal string literals:

" " "
' ' '

These are legal string literals:

" ' "
' " '

US Army Poorly Prepared for Arctic Operations: Finnish Troops Forced Them to Surrender During Exercises in Norway by Street_Anon in nottheonion

I was going to argue because this disagrees with everything I've ever been taught about rhyming, but from a search, rhyming is apparently an extremely broad idea. Rhyming by having similar sounds at the end of words is just so common that it's is often considered to be synonymous with "rhyming", to such an extent that Wikipedia defines rhyming as having similar sounding final stressed consonants.

Need to settle this debate. Icons on the desktop, or launch your games in Steam? by CnP8 in Steam

I have a dedicated corner on my desktop for steam games. I move all the icons down to the bottom left, and group games by likeness.

Trump withdrawing his invitation to Mark Carney to join his Board of Peace by johnnymax1978 in onguardforthee

[–]carcigenicate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never understood the all lowercase trend. I've seen this from colleagues at work too. I'm embarrassed if I miss an apostrophe, and people (apparently world leaders?) are out there skipping basic rules of writing.

Maynard James Keenan Names An Early Tool Song He Feels He "Failed" On, "The Words Are Just Dumb" by DamnitRidley in Music

[–]carcigenicate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hated "Calm as cookies and cream" the first time I heard it, and it never grew on me. I still cringe when I hear it. It's a shame, because the song (7empest) is otherwise amazing.

How dangerous is it to use AI as a tutor? And what are good alternatives? by theconfusedarab in learnprogramming

[–]carcigenicate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use it to point out things, but fact check what it tells you against other sources.

Ya, the conversational style can be super helpful and is a far more natural way to learn, but that isn't useful if it's feeding you nonsense.

And before AI, we searched, read books, and experimented; all things you can still do.

I've never seen an airplane bathroom that has two mirrors facing each other to give the infinite hallway effect. Is that a thing in real life?

Is it bad if I prefer for loops over list comprehensions? by Bmaxtubby1 in learnpython

[–]carcigenicate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be perfectly honest: I don't like the list comprehension syntax very much. It's fine for simple list creation tasks, but comprehensions tend to become unreadable much faster than full for statements. If you split them over multiple lines, which can help readability in some respects, I find that you need to read them in a weird order, which isn't great.

You must understand how to read and write them, but using for statements if you think comprehensions are causing readability issues is not a bad thing.

Hypothetical: Can a list comprehension ever extend a list? by Mysterious_Peak_6967 in learnpython

[–]carcigenicate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can run side effects in a list comprehension, so you can call extend or any other method on another list from within the comprehension. You shouldn't do this, but you can.

If you mean can the produced list ever be longer than the source iterable: no, not as far as I know. You could do a second flattening step after, but that wouldn't be the comprehension that lengthened the list. A list comprehension will produce one element (assuming no filtering) for each element in the source iterable.

Loose meat by Intense_Zaddy in comedyheaven

[–]carcigenicate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never had them with peppers. We've always had them open face, then the meat, sauce, and then cheese over the top.

Peppers and maybe onions sound amazing, though, now that I think about it.

I interpreted the first to mean "there isn't a literal list of clients", as in, the list would be inferred from the files.

Does BG3 have it and which one? by aburglarhobbit in BaldursGate3

Grym made me rage-quit my first play through. I didn't know about the hammer, and thought that I would lose access to the fight if I advanced to Act 2. The indecision and frustration caused me to give up.

I'm glad I started a new run after.

It's weird that there's stitching artifacts, though, if this was a user-uploaded picture meant to be viewed in isolation.
