I applied for a dev position with a salary range with the higher end fitting my requirements. I checked off basically all of the boxes in the job announcement as I had worked as a consultant for that very company in that same position for several years prior. After interviewing rounds and a programming task, the interviewers were very happy with me and were eager to get me started. However, their offer was in the lower ~20% of the salary range. When I asked for the reason, I was told that they had to cut back costs, so they couldn’t afford to pay me more.

So basically, the salary range was just bait to receive applications.

Unfortunately, yes.

The town I grew up in had several public apple trees. I have fond memories of climbing the trees with my friends to get apples.

Maintenance is a thing, though. If not properly maintained, the apples will often grow too densely, yielding only small and sour apples. I would never consider the apples in my home town to be filling food - at best it would be a small snack. It would require a lot of labour to maintain a tree to the point where it would feed people in need.

This just adds to the joke, right? 1st world problems being problems which would be wildly undermined if compared to other’s problems.

The dog seems to know when she needs to take me for a walk. She’s usually right about that stuff.

My dog solved this issue by fetching the ball, laying down at least 10 meters away from me and guard the ball if we attempt to retrieve it.

She’s not a very playful dog.

Maybe if the fourth panel was removed, it would hold some humor. An expiration date on something so special as a licence go kill could give a soft chuckle. But since the fourth panel suggests that he is about to solve the issue somehow, it just makes it confusing. What is the funny part?

All of their thumbnails are unfortunately click-baity. They spoke about ut in an older video. Apparently, the click-baity images drive too much traffic for them to justify something more subtle.

But how do you apply this with Lorentz’ transformation (i.e. relativistic factors)? You cannot approach the speed of light without considering relativism. It is known that p = gamma * m * v where p is momentum, gamma is the gamma factor given by sqrt(1/(1 - (v^2/c^2))), m is mass and v is velocity. If you study the gamma factor, you’ll realize that it approaches infinite as v approaches c, the speed of light. Since we are actually dealing with light here, where v = c we are breaking the equation. Momentum cannot be defined for any mass which moves at the speed of light. It’s asymptotic at that speed.

Also note that the same goes for E = mc^2. At relativistic speeds, also this equation needs to consider the gamma factor. So those classical equations break down for light.

The answer is that photons don’t have mass, but they have energy. There is a good explanation a bit further up in this thread on how this is possible.

Maybe it’s not a US-thing? Cars in Norway have a registered numbers of seats specified in the car’s registration, so I just assumed this was a general thing.

Or:

Easy. Just share the scripts in a reasonable advance to allow actors either withdraw from the project or brace/prepare themselves for the uncomfortable scenes.

Just to be a counterweight: I have ~15 hours in BG3. At some point I just realized it’s not for me. I can’t really put my finger on it, but it just doesn’t strike any nerve for what I enjoy in video games.

Skyrim, however was my favorite game through the 2010s, with probably north of 500 hours across multiple platforms.

Maybe it’s something about the pacing and freedom to disregard the story elements.

Does this apply further, though? If a car is registered for 4 passengers, would a fetus count towards that total?

Speed is always considered relative to something. It wouldn’t be too far fetched to consider ghosts to maintain speed relative to the remains of the body of their late life.

Does newton’s laws apply to massless objects?

Sich a dumb word, but somehow I never really clicked on this word: “question”. I have spoken the word a lot, but somehow I practiced speaking english less when I moved away from my parents to study. English became more of a read and written language than spoken, so the words became just things to read, not to sound out loud.

After attempting to speak a bit more english again, words were drawn from memory by how they were written. And for some reason the word “question” was incredibly weird. “Kuest-ion”? No, I’m sure there is a “ch”-sound in there. “Kwest-chien”?

I had to check out some youtube videos on pronounciation to get it right.

As a European, It’s crazy how I’ve started to compare USA to Russia. I mean, Russia is still the baddies by a decent margin, but god damn, that gap could be closing fast in 2025.

Don’t worry, it’s not like I’m yielding. The point is that I find them to be detractors rather than attractors to join our common goal of not eliminating ourselves.

I still subscribe to the theory that these people are hired actors from Big Oil. They are experts at being unlikable and naturally pushes me towards the opposing side. It sucks.

I rarely trust top results from google, since I’m uncertain if I somehow missed the tiny gray text saying that it’s an add.
