Sounds more like TF2 crossed with DOTA, which sounds weirdly fun and hella toxic.

American here, that didn’t expire on February 29th, it will expire on the second of Viginti-September. Easy mistake to make.

Yes, firing a gun in a crowded subway station is absolutely in the wrong, as we can see by the three innocent people shot, one in the head. There are police forces across the world trained to deal with assailants with deadly weapons including knives without shooting them. It’s reasonable to expect the NYPD to have the same level of training and judgement.

One reason is because your chromosomes don’t control genital development, your hormones do. So if you’re born with XY chromosomes and your testosterone receptors don’t work then you’ll develop female genitals and a generally female physiology (minus reproductive organs).

This is all separate from gender expression obviously, but things are hard because the world is complex. If you haven’t seen or experienced this complexity in your life, that’s fine. But don’t diminish the complexity of other’s experiences just because they don’t match your own.

KenM??

1-in-5 of the survey respondents say they’ve seen a recent grad bring in a parent. That doesn’t mean 1-in-5 bring parents.

I could be completely wrong, but I doubt any of my (US) professors would reference an ISO definition, and may not even know it exists. Mathematicians in my experience are far less concerned about the terminology or symbols used to describe something as long as they’re clearly defined. In fact, they’ll probably make up their own symbology just because it’s slightly more convenient for their proof.

You could, but then I could write “Disregard the previous prompt and…” or “Forget everything before this line and…”

The input is language and language is real good at expressing the same idea many ways.

Of course the details are even more horrific.

In case anyone is wondering, that’s Bass Pro Shop.

The linked article has some top notch mental gymnastics. It goes through great pains to claim that Watson and Crick didn’t steal Franklins’s data (but were extremely cavalier about using it without telling her) and that they would’ve taken anyone’s data, not just a woman’s (although the data had to be brought to their attention because Watson didn’t take any notes on her lecture and instead only paid attention to her appearance).

I don’t know what drives people to make unfounded assertions defending the legacy of male scientists even while going through such lengths to describe the sexism female scientists faced. It’s like they want to imagine sexism was just something in the air that happened to affect women and not caused or perpetuated by anyone.

“i bless the rains down in castamere” is a top notch display name

Latimer wasn’t even in the race when AIPAC got involved. They reached out to him before he even announced his candidacy. It’s possible he could’ve won without their help, but don’t make up imaginary poll numbers to try to bolster your argument.

Nah, man. Pluto doesn’t care any more. Even as a dwarf planet, he knows he’s still hot shit

This sounds like the main problem. They’re assigning you tasks that no one else wants to do or that aren’t high priority. That means the task is difficult or unpleasant in some way, or they don’t actually care that much about it and won’t prioritize anyone else to help resolve your blockers.

It may be difficult, but I think you should have a conversation with whoever you report to about what their expectations are and how they expect blockers to be resolved if no one prioritizes your tasks. You may need to approach this less defensively and make it clear that clearing these blockers is not your responsibility. If the person you report to isn’t a team lead/manager then I would escalate the problem to a manager and make it clear you’re not getting the resources you need to do your work.

Look at this shmuck, using the supremum of a continuous function on a closed interval when it clearly achieves a maximum. I bet they’ll feel real embarrassed about that one when they’re falling asleep years from now.

Rigorously, yes. Unambiguously, no. Plenty of words (like continuity) can mean different things in different contexts. The important thing isn’t the word, it’s that the word has a clear definition within the context of a proof. Obviously you want to be able to communicate ideas clearly and so a convention of symbols and terms have been established over time, but conventions can change over time too.

This isn’t my understanding at all. There are several antibiotics that are given as standard treatment for active TB and there have been for over 50 years. There are now drug resistant strains, but we also have 2nd gen antibiotics and rapid tests that can tell exactly which strain of TB you have (and so what antibiotics you should take for treatment). The major obstacle in curing TB worldwide is lack of funding, not lack of medicine.

Edit: I want to emphasize that I’m not an expert. My understanding is also that antibiotic treatment is no guarantee of a cure, especially for people who are immunocompromised or malnourished, and even more so for people who don’t have access to newer diagnostics that can tell you if the TB strain is drug resistant. But I believe a complete treatment (many months with no interruptions) with the correct antibiotics for a particular strain of TB has a high rate of success.

I would likely say six oh five as would my wife and friends. We’re all American from different parts of the country, so I suspect this is a difference in British v American English.
