I suddenly understand why the mentor dies every time.

>During a regime change, he got ousted and exiled and died in shame. After his death, a bunch of calamities befell the government, leading people to believe that Michizane's vengeful spirit was cursing them

wait, I'm pretty sure I've read this story a on /r/sysadmin. It's good to know this problem is older than computers.

It gets even more fun when you look at materials like Ice or Steel, which have like a dozen solid phases each.

It sounds extremely convenient to me, to be able to model bulk properties like conductance instead of modeling individual atoms.

Why is the embarassment higher in everyone's mind than the public health hazard? Are we moving towards image-focused public policy?

>After one of her uncles got violently robbed, her aunt sacrificed a chicken on the altar to "ward off evil spirits following him"

tbh, it doesn't sound like the worst way of processing the trauma of getting robbed.

People do things for a reason, but, if you turn on the news, you'll see that a lot of the reasons are really stupid.

lmao rats leaving the sinking ship

>said it'll make our lives easier if we either only answer positively

That's really only true if you're trying to get out from under your lease.

I can't imagine being jeff and *not* doing that.

>if NASA are still CNC machining these they're missing a trick.

Was that in the article?

oh wow, we're jumping straight to racial prejudice today, and then doubling down when it's noticed. Nice.

The city actually has a downward population trend. Maybe Towson should take responsibility for their own mistakes, instead of trying to find someone to blame?

Those cities also have functioning police dpeartments, better education, and decent transit. We should try to do the same here.

But also, Baltimore has less than half a million people. We can't achieve the sorts of economies of scale that Tokyo can.

They did have some kind of paradigm. it may not have been as complex or complete as our modern study of microbiology, but it would have at least been isomorphic to the truth.

In much the same way, our modern understanding of microbiology will seem woefully inadequate to the people of the future.

Pure observation. Even if you don't have a microscope to see the bacteria, you can see(and smell) their work.

> “if these negotiations are successful, BGE will make a historic commitment of more than $100 million in capital improvements”

ok, but are they actually going to do it, or are they going to skip out with no consequence, like verizon did?

as long as constituencies respond to such things, we're boned.

>Do they have no self-awareness of irony and hypocrisy?

How many years will it take you to get the point? They've been making the same noise since 2015.

>Steam is droplets of liquid water suspended in the air which appears white due to light scattering.
>
>Vapor is colorless and transparent. You cannot see it.

When I took thermo in my country, we refered to it the other way around. Steam is the invisible gas phase, "vapor" is the white cloud of liquid droplets.

What comes out of the towers, if it's visible, is water droplets suspended in air. Steam is clear in air, but it partially condenses into visible clouds of droplets if it cools down too much.

Damn it, ea-nasir, get out of this office! I ain't givin' you no damn tree fiddy!"

What is this type of analysis called? In Compsci it's called "Big O notation" but I'm pretty sure that only applies to computational complexity.

"turning into" ???

"slowly"???

Have you ever heard of a flower called a "tulip"? This crap has been going for almost four hundred years. You just didn't notice.

Evidence the game wants you to win lmao
