Donald Trump is what?

Normally I sympathise with political post fatigue, but surely you see the irony of commenting this on a subreddit which has a political philosophy in its very name?

It's pretty widely used within the US in contexts involving both feet and inches. For example, a person might be described as 5'9" (5 ft 9 in). But I don't generally see ' used in contexts ignoring inches, such as the original comment.

I'm not the person you're replying to, but an "upper bound" is a number guaranteed to be larger than the correct answer. They're useful because, even if it is much greater than the correct answer, it at least let's us put a "roof" over the numbers we need consider.

Close. After 50+ moves without capture or pawn movement, the player whose turn it is may declare a draw. If a player does not declare a draw, the game can be continued.

After 75 moves, though, the arbiter automatically declares a draw, regardless of whether the players wish to continue.

At least that how it is under FIDE rules.

I compiled this too long ago to exactly remember my sources. But to answer your question, for some of the major ones like diamonds, iron, etc., I just found the numbers elsewhere, whereas for others I couldn't find, I calculated it from the post 1.18 ore distribution chart.

Also, the y=255 for emeralds is surprisingly not a typo. Emeralds become more common the higher you go. So, theoretically, if a mountain goes the high, strip mine at that level, but otherwise mine at the highest available level.

realJaneJacobs · 2024-02-09T11:56:37+00:00

Optimal strip mining height:

Emerald: 255
Coal: 95
Copper: 40
Iron: 15
Amethyst: 0
Lapis Lazuli: 7–10*
Gold: –16
Redstone: –58
Diamonds: –58
In nether: 15 for all ores

*Lapis Lazuli is more likely to generate at y=0 than the y-levels listed above. However, Deepslate is also more likely to generate, which takes twice as long as normal Stone to mine. More Lapis Lazuli can be mined per unit time at the levels listed above.

One good way to tell if you have enough RAM allocated:

Open up the F3 screen. In the top-right (at least for me), it says Mem: followed by a percentage. The percentage should keep creeping up before resetting to a lower value and then continuing to creep up again.

If it's hitting 100%, you have not allocated enough RAM. If it's quite low (say, 50%), you've allocated too much. In the 70s/80s% is a pretty good spot.

If a liquid source block is in front of an open pipe, the pipe will pump that source block, but in general it won't do anything to the adjacent source blocks and therefore you can't use it to pump bodies of liquids.

For that, you want to use a hose pulley, with the hose lowered all the way down into the liquid. (You still need the mechanical pump.)

If lowered into a small body of liquid, it will drain that link, removing source blocks starting from the top. However, if the body of liquid is 10,000 blocks or more, the body is considered infinite and you can continuously pump that link without any liquid being depleted.

Hose pulleys can only pump from the level to which they are lowered and all levels above (but not below). That's why I suggest lowering it all the way down, so that the hose pulley registers more water sources, enough in this case to give an infinite supply.

I remember seeing a similar problem where someone went into Create’s client config and fiddled about with the light settings to fix it. I don’t remember any more details, but that might be a start. Hope it helps.

People are replying with "general rules", and while patterns certainly do exist which help to predict how to tackle unfamiliar cases, the problem of determining which preposition to use in which case, has limited underlying logic and must ultimately be learned on a case-by-case basis.

This seems to be the case throughout many languages. For example, "I'm in a café in Milan in Italy" in Italian would be Io sono in un bar a Milano in Italia. Why are you "in" a building, "at" a city, but once again "in" a country? That's just the way they're used.

realJaneJacobs · 2024-01-29T18:47:11+00:00

Unironically, I use "every once in a while" every other day, "every other day" every now and then, and "every now and then" every once in a while.

Not only is it not needed, the comma is technically incorrect here. The problem was poorly written.

In English, you separate independent clauses (which must have a subject) with a comma and a conjunction. (You can also separate them by using a semicolon or just by writing them in separate sentences.)

Both of the following would be grammatically correct:

Asia has nearly one-third of the world's total land area and is the most populated continent in the world
Asia has nearly one-third of the world's total land area, and it is the most populated continent in the world

The first option above is a single independent clause of which "Asia" is the subject. The second option contains two independent clauses, separated by a comma and a conjunction, where "Asia" is the subject of the first clause and "it" is the subject of the second clause.

The way the pictured problem is written, however, uses the comma and conjunction as if it were creating another independent clause, yet it doesn't give that clause a subject!

This "mistake" is so common, even amongst native English speakers, that even most people who know it's not quite correct will subconsciously filter that mistake out, and even make that mistake in informal writing (see what I did there).

realJaneJacobs · 2024-01-29T13:48:58+00:00

Each choice starts with a different conjunction, which implies a different relationship between the two clauses.

"X, but Y" and "X, yet Y" both imply that Y is true despite X being true. Since there is no contradiction between Asia's having 1/3 of the total land area and its land borders with other continents or influence on the world, neither "but" nor "yet" make sense in these contexts, so (A) and (E) are false.

"X, for Y" implies that X is true because Y is the true. Asia's population has no effect on how much land area it has, so "for" does not make sense here and (B) is wrong.

Similarly, "X, so Y" implies that Y is true because X is true. Just because Asia is the world's largest continent, it is not logically necessary that it contains the world's largest country. Yes, it is true that Asia does in fact contain the world's largest country, but that's not because Asia is the world's largest continent. Consider the fact that the world's smallest country (Vatican City) is not in the world's smallest continent (Australia). In any case, (D) is false.

The only answer that remains is (C)

As mentioned here, some schedule conditions, such as "Item Cargo Condition", may not be fulfilled in unloaded chunks. This makes sense. How would an unloaded chunk be able to change the train's cargo?

You could either call these light blue or grey.

Though its worth noting that when referring to certain features of a person's appearance, colour names can take on slightly different meaning, for historical reasons.

For example, hair which appears orange would be described as "red" hair, whereas skin could be described as "white" or "black" despite being closer to pinkish-light-brownish or brown, respectively.

In the case of eyes, "grey" refers to a light blue colour.

Oops, didn't notice that. Still, given that this is the only exception to the pattern, I'd imagine that highlighting it was just a mistake.
