Topic | Honestly, math is so discouraging |
Sonic Cannon 02/12/22 10:56:11 PM #33 | The thing that really made simplifying fractions "make sense" for me was learning to split a number up into prime factors. Once you know about prime factors, you can just divide both the top and bottom by any of their common factors one at a time. Here are some examples of how: https://www.math.net/prime-factorization https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/6-min-1.png You can just try each prime number in sequence (2,3,5,7,11 etc). Anything that appears in both the numerator and the denominator can be divided out. Then do it again until they have no factors in common and you can tell when you've finished simplifying! --- Keep it green. |
Topic | How many miles does your vehicle have? |
Sonic Cannon 12/22/21 11:09:08 PM #7 | 83k. It's a 2008 model that we bought in 2014 with only about 20k on it. We've probably spent about $2000 on maintenance all up in the last 7 years. So that's pretty good. Was going to upgrade in 2022 but just bought a house so might not be able to just yet. Want the next car to be an electric or PHEV. --- Keep it green. |
Topic | Holy shit i got a ps5 |
Sonic Cannon 12/22/21 10:55:02 PM #9 | I still have never seen one IRL - in a store, or in a person's house - a whole year after release. It might as well not exist to me tbh. At this point I am unlikely to buy one until a hardware revision, whenever that happens. --- Keep it green. |

Topic | Anyone else canceling their holiday plans over omicron? |
Sonic Cannon 12/19/21 11:57:59 PM #11 | No, but that's because thankfully we don't have any omicron cases in the community in my country yet. So we should be safe for Christmas. SamuelLJackdson posted... I just dont feel comfortable with the contradicting articles I'm seeing about whether or not its less severe.It's way too early to be able to reliably say anything about severity. We're only just starting to see the uptick in hospitalisations in places with really high quality data (Denmark, UK), and some of that was starting before omicron anyway. Realistically, it takes like 4 weeks after diagnosis for most covid deaths. So it's always going to *seem* mild before that if you aren't looking at the data properly. --- Keep it green. |

Topic | Did you think Covid would last this long when it first started? |
Sonic Cannon 12/19/21 11:42:13 PM #40 | Once it had begun to fill up hospitals in Italy, NYC etc (i.e. February 2020) I was expecting at least 2 years. Honestly I didn't think we would even get a vaccine until around the end of 2021, so I was pleasantly surprised by that. --- Keep it green. |

Topic | Horizon Zero Dawn - Sell it to me. |
Sonic Cannon 12/19/21 11:13:30 PM #40 | NoxObscuras posted... I personally love post apocalyptic games where the player has to slowly learn what happened and why everything is the way it is. So Horizon Zero Dawn hit that craving perfectly for me. The mystery of how humanity went from an advanced civilization to primitive tribes was really compelling and it was well told. I loved exploring and seeing glimpses of how society was before things went south.These are mostly the reasons why I think it is a great game and one worth playing. The way the setting slowly reveals itself is excellent, and the soundtrack (especially the main theme) as well as the visual design are excellent. --- Keep it green. |

Topic | DoorDash drivers not taking orders unless they get a good tip prior |
Sonic Cannon 12/07/21 8:49:57 PM #471 | Cocytus posted... It's practical sometimes. I get deliveries and I know what to expect. If I believe there's almost no way to fuck it up, then I will gladly prepay a decent tip, especially if I can modify the tip if something does go wrong.If there's no way to fuck it up, what's the tip for? Presumably you are already paying a charge for delivery. For people agonising about low value deliveries and how the customer should tip to avoid them stagnating, I disagree. If the pay is too low for a driver to pick it up, that is the delivery company (UE, DD, GH) fucking up. The solution is to increase the payout, and charge the buyer more if needed. Of course the drivers are free to pick whatever jobs they want, but don't blame the customer because the company doesn't pay properly. --- Keep it green. |

Why are the xm4s memephones?For several years the XM3 was the default recommendation for anyone looking for noise cancelling headphones, and also a lot of people bought them. It became a bit of a meme. Not that there is anything wrong with them of course - they are good. That title has now been passed down to Memephones Jr. --- Keep it green. |

Sonic Cannon 12/05/21 1:32:42 AM #12 | TinAudio T2. I'm definitely an IEMs person for the most part. I think it's the best experience when listening on mobile devices. Very portable, good isolation. For console/PC I'm using Steelseries Arctis 7 wireless because it can switch between PC and TV output without moving any connections. So I can turn off the TV speakers and still hear everything. --- Keep it green. |

Topic | DoorDash drivers not taking orders unless they get a good tip prior |
Sonic Cannon 11/27/21 5:22:49 PM #237 | MrDrMan posted... Id really like to hear the explanation of how people think companies could eliminate tips and keep prices in the same stratosphere. A server usually makes like $2 an hour base pay. To even make the job attractive theyd have to pay servers minimum $20 an hour. How do you accomplish that without prices skyrocketing which people will then complain about? It really isnt feasible. Restaurants operate on pretty thin margins as it is. I really dont understand why people would rather pay non-negotiable prices over just leaving a tip. Theres nothing better about not having an option.I say this from the perspective of a person who lives in a country where tipping has never been normal, and there has never been a second-class minimum wage for service workers. I don't know what prices are like at restaurants there, but here are some points for comparison:

Sonic Cannon 11/25/21 4:01:43 PM #232 | Gwynevere posted... The venn diagram of people who think service workers should be paid more, and people who think they should get tipped better is pretty much a circle, so I'm not sure what you're even trying to say hereI am firmly in group 1 and firmly not in group 2. Tipping is not necessary for a good service industry. Most of the world does not do it. Pay your goddamn workers and if you need to increase the prices then do that. --- Keep it green. |
Topic | DoorDash drivers not taking orders unless they get a good tip prior |
Sonic Cannon 11/23/21 10:04:51 PM #120 | Tipping for something like this seems ridiculous to me honestly. You are literally paying a charge for delivery. Any costs and payment required to the driver should be included in the charge for delivery, not tacked on as some kind of guilt trip on top. I don't think I would ever pay a tip on a service like this, it's just Doordash/Uber being tightasses and wanting to increase prices without looking like it. --- Keep it green. |

But y'know, little victories.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLTGXblgUoc Yeah NZ has hit 80% (of over 12s) with 2 doses in most of the country this week, which is great.

Sonic Cannon 11/19/21 7:08:53 PM #13 | Irony posted... How's it still 39%? Technically unvaccinated people dying should increase the number.It does, but of course most people don't die. Even in high risk middle aged populations the risk of death is like 5-20%. So probably not enough unvaccinated people will die to really change the %.

Sonic Cannon 11/17/21 2:02:00 AM #4 | Schizophrenia in general is just really, really tough. The best you can do is have a close circle of a small number of people who you can trust, and then do your absolute best to know that trust is justified. Especially during times when you are feeling suspicious. Also less stimulation and avoiding media/news/opinion pieces in general would probably help. --- Keep it green. |
