I struggle with trig because it’s a lot of memorization. The fundamentals are pretty easy, but I never remember the unit circle and I never remember all of the identities.

That’s a valid email 🤷

I like graffiti. Every city I visit without it feels soulless.

Reddit was like that 15 years ago.

No it’s not at all.

It’s literally an aluminum sheet, it will slice your hand open.

One of the most common uses is when you remove something like a fairing or a panel, to access something else, when you put the panel back on there are gaps between them. They are not structural, but it does hurt the aerodynamics of the plane, affecting the fuel mileage and cosmetics.

The solution is sealant in the panel gaps, this helps prevent moisture from seeping, and improves aerodynamics.

The issue is that the sealant takes a long time to cure properly, and when it isn’t fully cured, it will splatter everywhere (I’ve seen this happen). A common scenario as an example is, putting the final panels back on after an inspection, it’s nighttime in the winter, the sealant isn’t curing, instead of the plane sitting idle for 48 hours while sealant cures, you can just put speed tape over it, the tape holds the sealant in place while it cures and then mechanics can take the tape of after it’s fully cured.

Yup, it’s just aluminum foil with an adhesive.

Worked in an mro so mostly was removing speed tape, but occasionally we would send a bird out of a heavy check with speed tape on.

I think you may have missed my point.

.gov is not the same as .gov.us (in this example, .gov is not the tld, .us is) Tlds like .io belong to countries, there is no going back to .gov or .com because countries outside of the US never just used .gov or .com.

You could create your own DNS server with its own routes and registrars.

If you got enough people to use your DNS network you could create your own registrars and your own rules.

Users would need to switch to your DNS, but otherwise there isn’t anything about how the Internet works that requires you to use the big dog DNS

Who gets .gov? The US?

Other countries never used just .gov or just .com.

Vote manipulation definitely has a benefit, comments and posts are still voted, and public sentiment is still swayed by votes.

It’s most likely a private school.

Damn, you just SLAMMED me.

Yes, honestly the fact that ‘youtube music’ is literally just a different frontend for YouTube drives me nuts, it goes both ways, the YouTube app for TV doesn’t have proper features either, it’s unclear if you are getting the music or video version and the most egregious of them all imo, on the TV app, you can’t freaking browse for a different song while music is playing, you have to stop the song to go to the search bar.

Cli doesn’t make much sense to me either when the *arr suite has a well documented rest API already.

They don’t convey the same information.

Infinity isn’t really an amount of something.

With docker it’s quite easy (assuming you are familiar with docker)

But docker / containerization is a skill that becomes really really helpful to learn if you are interested in this type of thing.

Something to consider is that any given instance can be a bad actor and do whatever the hell they want.

That’s possible though, if there are some really bad drivers screwing the average.

Edit: it’s probably even true in this case, it just depends on how you define ‘good’. For example if you define it by getting tickets, only 36% of drivers are issued tickets. The average number of tickets issued is > 0 but the majority of drivers aren’t issued tickets, the average is skewed, because most drivers are at 0.

Each person doesn’t need to host everything.

The Internet archive already has torrents that get automatically created, you can right now go and download/seed torrents for some items and you are immediately doing your part in decentralizing the Internet archive.

Yes, general investing is not zero sum, however many methods of advanced trading are. Options trading, which is prominent and easy to access on Robinhood, is much closer to gambling (and is treated that way by many users) and is zero sum.

Most active trading strategies require successfully arbitraging, or extracting inefficiencies out of the market, and you can’t do either of those things without someone else losing money.

Passive investment is investing in the companies that underlay the market, active trading is extracting value out of the market itself.
