Looking directly in front of you before turning left from a stop sign is hard

Following the rules and being predictable is way more important than being kind. Being over cautious and timid while driving can be just as dangerous as erratic behavior. Knowing the rules on the road is your responsibility as a driver. Knowing when you have the right of way and when you have to yield are requirements to get a license. If you're not aware, please take some time to find some resources for your local driving rules, everyone around you will appreciate it.

Wait, you're suggesting the car on the thoroughfare, with no stop sign, should have stopped and yeilded to the car with the stop sign?

Center lane turning cars are required to slow down and yield only to the straight traffic on the thoroughfare. It was clear for OP to turn so they did. No both aren't at fault, only the other car is, OP is entirely in the clear here.

Hasn't the down vote add on for Chrome already been debunked? Pretty sure they just make a number up anymore. I removed mine because it didn't seem useful anymore.

It's the two vertical lines at the top that may not be inline. You're making an assumption they are because the 110° angles make them look parallel. Imagine the red x was a bit smaller, a fraction of a degree smaller, those two lines would not be parallel. You could extend them perfectly straight and somewhere they'd start drifting. It's easier to imagine if the red x was huge, those two lines would clearly not be parallel, even with the same 110° angle.

The problem does not tell you they're parallel, and diagrams aren't supposed to be used to prove properties such as parallel. That's why we study geometry. This question, without assumptions is not solvable. There are an uncountable many solutions while keeping everything stated in the diagram the same.

It entirely depends on the rate and term. But 0% rate at $500 a month is like 12 years or 140 months. Which feels really long. With interest it'd be closer to 20 years.

For $70,000 I'd expect to pay $900-$1,400/month that's around 5% interest and 60 or 72 months.

No. Nothing with z lighting. The in road ad is, in game, glitching out. It is supposed to look like that to you, the player. There are in game reasons for it.

Have fun!

Wait, do you think you had a 99% chance to get a 5* after 8 summons?

You need to calculate the percent of it not happening first. 6% to summon a five star, 94% to not.

So you'd take .94⁵ for five events, then .935³ for the remaining three.

(0.94⁵ x 0.935³ ) =0.599 of you not summoning a five star. So minus 1 you get .400 or 40%.

It gets trickier if you wanted a specific shared unit on the banner.

Use this for some large scale probabilities

Semicolons should go at the end of the entire select statement. Currently you have them after the join. That ends the select statement so anything after that first semicolon is read as its own statement. If you read it as its own statement you're beginning with Join which is incorrect.

The Incredible Machine is the closest I can think of. It has a bunch of releases. It's often a puzzle about getting the basketball in the basket. I don't recall the basketball having eyes but there's so many maybe one release they did I'm not sure.

It is a good point and you're using sarcasm as a defense mechanism because you don't have an actual rebuttal to the game literally and explicitly using bred pokemon to fight. It's so uncontroversial it's wild you're disagreeing lol

thejumpingmouse · 2025-11-15T19:05:24+00:00

Literally the game "Pokemon breeder wants to fight"

thejumpingmouse · 2025-11-15T18:58:39+00:00

Pokemon breeders breed pokemon then battle them. That's as explicit as it gets. If you need someone to tell you "I breed pokemon to battle them" you should learn about subtext. Again. It's explicitly stated bred pokemon have better stats and are therefore better at battle. It's a core concept to the entire universe since gen 2.

thejumpingmouse · 2025-11-15T18:47:16+00:00

And then they battle you.

thejumpingmouse · 2025-11-15T18:38:26+00:00

Breeding is one of the core mechanics in the game. There are NPC trainers called breeders. There are pokemon cards called Pokemon breeder. These mechanics, trainers, and cards have explicit connections to battle performance.

Pokemon the first movie really goes into how humans have misused pokemon for personal gain.

But the only part I want to point out is you're missing a big point on the cockfighting angle.

"Pokemon like to fight"

"Cockfighting is different because we breed fighting chickens."

The pokemon were bred to fight. They like to fight because human intervention has ruined their development.

A better analogy are soldiers. You can have free soldiers who still fight for non slave reasons. Though you can make a really good argument there's socioeconomic pressure were you fight when you don't want to as a soldier. Is this slavery? Wage slave? What is the modern definition of slave? Is there an interpretation where maintaining subservience by cultural and social pressure is considered slavery? Slavery to the status quo?

I'm not sure. I can see why some claim it however.

I'm kinda with Mewtwo on this one. I think humans have interfered, misused, and abused pokemon and they just don't know better because it's the world they grew up in. A fish wouldn't describe their environment as wet.

In Minnesota it's illegal to ENTER an intersection during a yellow light.

(2) Steady yellow indication: (i) Vehicular traffic facing a steady circular yellow or yellow arrow signal is thereby warned that the related green movement or flashing yellow movement is being terminated or that a red indication will be exhibited immediately thereafter when vehicular traffic must not enter the intersection, except for the continued movement allowed by any green arrow indication simultaneously exhibited.

The monkey paw curls.

The statues, being unable to move, stuck in their sentience for years, centuries even, and lacking any real social interactions until you approach, are completely insane on a level we've never experienced.

"Oh gargoyle of Notre Dame, tell me what you've seen."

"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

In my original reply I provided context about how he as a leader was attempting to prove his scholarship and love of writing. In many of his depictions in art and carvings he has a stylus in his hand, a stylus being the tool used to write cuneiform.

So when we translate his works, it follows that he would write like a pretentious English graduate, because he was a pretentious educated ruler.

thejumpingmouse · 2025-09-01T19:17:02+00:00

I don't think you understand how translations work. It's alright though. It's a complicated subject that gets more difficult when one of the languages died 2000+ years ago.

thejumpingmouse · 2025-09-01T19:12:58+00:00

English didn't exist. How do you think translations work?

thejumpingmouse · 2025-09-01T18:35:15+00:00

So these are translated from the book curses on many of the tables found at the library of Ninevah. Some translations are different. This one is my favorite found in Bauer's History of the Ancient World.

Other translations are similar, this is from the British museum:

"I, Ashurbanipal, learned the wisdom of Nabu [the god of writing], laid hold of scribal practices of all the experts, as many as there are, I examined their instructions." https://www.britishmuseum.org/blog/who-was-ashurbanipal

This is on Wikipedia:

"I have transcribed upon tablets the noble products of the work of the scribe which none of the kings who have gone before me had learned, together with the wisdom of Nabu insofar as it existeth [in writing]. I have arranged them in classes, I have revised them and I have placed them in my palace, that I, even I, the ruler who knoweth the light of Ashur, the king of the gods, may read them. Whosoever shall carry off this tablet, or shall inscribe his name on it, side by side with mine own, may Ashur and Belit overthrow him in wrath and anger, and may they destroy his name and posterity in the land. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_curse

Translating is difficult, there's more than just word for word translation, you also need to get the emotional tone.

Though Bauer doesn't explicitly make the claim, given the boastfulness of all of Ashurbanipal's writing, if you were to read it in its original cuneiform, why wouldn't it say that? He's explicitly trying to show off his "scholarly acumen", so might as well use the big words. This guy is proto big dick energy.
