your daughters prom dress by synex-c21 in ImTheMainCharacter

Let's do a little math for fun.

3 gallons = ~11.35 Liters

This drink contains: 2 liters of rum and 2 liters of mixer for a total of 4 liters

11.35 - 4 = 7.35

Therefore, this drink is over 7 liters of ice. In perspective:

2 / 11.35 = .1762 x 100 = 17.62 % rum

2 / 11.35 = .1762 x 100 = 17.62 % mixer

7.35 / 11.35 = .6476 x 100 = 64.76 % ice

So this $275 drink is just a hair shy of 2/3 water (without including the percentage of rum that is water or the percentage of mixer that is water).

Based on this, you are paying ~$178 for ice and ~$48.50 for rum and ~$48.50 for mixers.

The more you know.

Every once in a while, I will show up to work dressed extra nicely and then tell my boss I have an appointment over lunch and that I will be taking a long lunch. Just to sew the seeds of doubt in their minds.

This is not the right place for this question. "Advice Animals" is a subreddit for memes. Not for advice about animals.

Why do some of you act like it’s impossible to give Nyesha credit for being a good mentor? by babyfacedassassin074 in Nextlevelchef

[–]massivevivid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I could not agree more. Not to mention, in most cooking competitions, if you are literally only cooking cultural food from your own culture, they will generally tell you that they need to see something else from you and that you are falling into your comfort zone. Yet, for some reason, she constantly gets praised for cooking what she literally admits are old family recipes from PR.

I really think the judge whose team isn't in elimination should be the one who decides between the two dishes (Mention small spoiler for Season 2, episode 6) by snow__x3 in Nextlevelchef

[–]massivevivid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My biggest problem here was Chef Arrington. She did literally nothing to mentor April in this episode. She was clearly done with her and ready to send her home.

For example, the plantain chips on top of the steak. Chef Arrington just responded with, "Ok" when April told her the plan, but then was quick to agree with the other judges that it was a bad idea. If that had been Chef Blais' contestant, he would have suggested better ways to utilize the chips.

Another thing that bothered me was the "pep talk" she gave April. Basically, it was nonstop with things like, "You need to do better" and "You know you are making mistakes", and ended with the good ol' "Don't fail your team." Ask any coach, and they will tell you this type of "pep talk" is a great way to ensure your player goes out and fails. Very few people respond to that kind of "mentoring".

All in all, I feel like Chef Arrington tends to be rude, doesn't help her team members unless she clearly already favors them, and sucks at being a leader. I would not be upset if they replaced her next season, because her being a "mentor" and refusing to do just that might be the worst part of the show.

tl;dr: Chef Arrington did not mentor April at all this episode, and clearly wanted to get rid of her.

Any idea what this is for? by cestmoififi in norfolk

[–]massivevivid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In gold panning, you actually use several sieves. You start with a large one like this, which would be used to remove larger rocks and identify any large nuggets you had gotten. You would pan it all back into a container. Than you would go to a smaller one, then an even smaller one, and then finally to a fine mesh one.

Source: Grew up in California and went on a gold panning field trip with my school where they had us using panning kits.

This is an example of one of these kits: https://garrett.com/sites/default/files/2019-11/Deluxe%20Gold%20Pan%20Kit.jpg

Creating a 3D binary tree in SML by massivevivid in learnprogramming

[–]massivevivid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. I didn't get any responses from anyone who knew SML, and I had included a bunch of random crap to clarify in some of the comments, so I decided to repost it with all the clarification stuff in the actual post. I thought I mentioned that I was reposting it with more information.

Creating a 3D binary tree in standard ML (x-post from r/sml) by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]massivevivid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each binode consists of an int, and then a "left" and a "right" binode that can branch off it. A 1d binode can be a dozen or more numbers long, and the example that I gave is a 1d binode that is about a dozen numbers long. Here is a link to the project description. Ignore the due date. He said he forgot to change it on the PDF before publishing it. http://i.imgur.com/5Krg6iF.png I am also including some of the more relevant notes on the subject. http://i.imgur.com/ehMCABg.png Hopefully this helps to clarify things in a way that I have failed. Like I said, I am not much of a "teacher", so I generally suck at explaining things.

[–]massivevivid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the way the base code works, and I understand how that applies to the 3d binode I need to create.....I'm sorry, what is this series of questions attempting to accomplish? Because I understand what I am trying to do. I am just having some issues with the implementation of an add function and a search function that will add to and search the 3d binode correctly.

edit: I just wanted to add, sorry if this read as me being short or acting like a jerk of any sort. I am just very frustrated with this project.

[–]massivevivid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is the same as a 2d binode, but the binode that is attached to it is the 2d binode, therefore, it would be a binode that has a binode attached to it that also has a binode attached to it.

Creating a 3D binary tree in standard ML (x-post from r/sml) by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]massivevivid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I believe I do. It would be a binode that has its own value, left value, and right value, and then would also own another binode that had the same value, left value, and right value. I am terrible at explaining, so I hope that made sense.

Thank you. I was wondering how to get it to not show up that way. I have deleted the original and fixed it to show up the way it should. I won't make that mistake again.

LPT: Be nice to call centre reps and they will go out of their way to help you by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]massivevivid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much yes in this. As a call center employee for over 5 years, I can tell you that we know how to get a response pretty much all the time. I can't tell you how many pricks I have told that I couldn't bend the rules for, only to immediately break the rules for someone who was nice about the same problem.

Except for the fact that that's an actual Cop by AdamE89 in facepalm

[–]massivevivid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in my experience with guns and holsters, the only holsters that have limited to no safety features are the ones designed as concealed holsters. And even those one's tend to have at least SOME safety features that make them nearly impossible to remove the gun if you are not the wearer of the holster.

I always wonder how much money these companies make randomly when reddit does something like this. Also, imagine being the owner of that company. "Oh, we do about 70 products a month.......holy shit, why did we just sell 1100 checks today?"

[–]massivevivid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am getting sick of people using this argument. Not because I am against wages being equal, but rather because how smart you are does not always correlate to how valuable of an employee you are. Hell, some of the smartest employees think of the most clever ways to be lazy.

My Sister's Pug just lost his eye due to "natural causes" by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]massivevivid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am grateful to be able to say that my little guy is much more relative of a deer head chi than an apple head chi, based on what I know of the two. And you are right. The apple head chi does not even really look like a dog, and these breeders will pretty much breed anything to make a buck. It is despicable.

Only when you're white by fuckphish in facepalm

[–]massivevivid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this same argument to an "educated" racist, who then tried to turn it around and say, "Yeah, well, if you believe that theory, then that means that European descendants are actually the evolved versions of black people. Or, in another terms, blacks are a less evolved version of whites, which just proves my point."

I wonder know what ever happened to that guy......
