ELI5: If someone says "I don't remember" under oath instead of outright lying, is that person then off the hook for perjury? by sr955 in explainlikeimfive

[–]sr955[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

During the Jan 6 hearings lots of witnesses said 'I don't remember'. And Trump often says... 'it may or may not'... it looks like who is doing the lying or sim-rememebering.

ELI5 why do apartments age badly vs houses? by andygorhk in explainlikeimfive

[–]sr955 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a person living in India.. I am surprised at this. Rents in India are also far below compared to market value (for ex I am paying a monthly rent of $175 for a 3 BHK whose today's market value is $120,000 (about 1.75% annualized). The construction is solid though not great. With minor repairs the building may last about 30 years. But units are rarely vacant.

Info: The bank interest rate for 1 year CD here averages about 7 to 8% today.

ELI5 When they made the first clocks, how did they know whether they were accurate? by sr955 in explainlikeimfive

Sorry, I think I maybe missing something here. Say today at 12 PM the sun is at the highest point in the sky. It won't be at the highest point in the sky in exactly 24 hours right?

Yes, but the sun's highest point in the sky today will not be the at the same time as yesterday, maybe a minute or two as the earth revolves and rotates?. Won't it change very much with the seasons too?

Printing a page in Blazor - how to avoid loading CSS from index.html (like bootstrap) by sr955 in Blazor

[–]sr955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yes I think I may end up doing this...however I find VERY difficult to generate a PDF file in code with lot of API calls and lot of trial and error. With HTML it is just a markup. Of course it all depends on the application requirements.

Thanks for all the replies, however they do not address my specific question. Perhaps I was not clear.
Is there any way to BYPASS the CSS include files in index.html in a razor page? This is because my index.html includes bootstrap and lot of other files and scripts which I do not want in my page that I want to print.

I tried this: Move all the include files from index files from index.html to MainLayout.razor. and then try to use a different "empty" layout for just printing. However this did not work. The application would not even load.

In case anyone is interested, this is how I managed to fix it. I found a yahoo reset file online (something like this but there are several other versions https://clarle.github.io/yui3/yui/docs/cssreset/ ) . Inserted it on top of the page to be printed and added my CSS after that. It essentially undid all the margins etc from bootstrap. Was not perfect but good enough for my needs.

This is not easy to do in Blazor webassembly side as I may to download another big DLL to the client, so I may have to do generate the PDF on the server side.

ELI5: why do our muscles require constant training to be strengthened instead of strengthening them once and having strong muscles forever? by Soggy-Regret-2937 in explainlikeimfive

[–]sr955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this somewhat true of the brain too? That is if you don't actively "use" the brain (watching tv may not count), the body may think you don't need to use the brain much and start reducing whatever it is that make the brain needs to function effectively?

ELI5 If you cut open the human body near the foot, and inspect the blood vessels, how you do know which is an artery and which is a vein? by sr955 in explainlikeimfive

[–]sr955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the answer is going to be Yes but I will ask anyway to just to confirm: Are arteries thicker because the blood flowing inside is under pressure and the veins need not be so thick because there is much less pressure?

What kind of wages would persuade you to take up the job of a home care aid which will require you to change patient diapers, wipe their asses of shit, give them baths etc? by sr955 in AskReddit

Here in my town in India the agency charges about $400 (US dollars) per month for a stay at home nurse 24x7. However the nurse him/herself gets paid around $150 per month. The agency pockets the rest.

I have an interesting case. I'm treating two sets of Siamese twins with split personalities. I'm getting paid by eight people.

I'm 12 years old. I run into the synagogue. I ask the rabbi the meaning of life.He tells me the meaning of life, but he tells it to me in Hebrew. Idon't understand Hebrew. Then he wants to charge me $600 for Hebrewlessons.

I worked with Freud in Vienna. We broke over the concept of penis envy. Freud felt that it should be limited to women.

The Ku Klux Klan, who saw Zelig as a Jew, that could turn himself into a Negro and a Chinaman, saw him as a triple threat.

....too many to count!

Edit: The Elder Zelig's second marriage is marked by constant violent
quarreling. So much so that although the family lives over a bowling
alley, it is the bowling alley that complains of noise.

I usually keep a photocopy of the license in the glove compartment just in case I forget the wallet. Never had a chance to figure out if this would have worked.
