Who needs explosives? Spring loaded pointy rod to the skull or razor to the neck

Or boxes of chocolates?

Spring Surprise??!

I think a PC is a more apt comparison. Yes we learnt them in computer class but they weren't in the Math classroom. Hell learning software engineering I didn't use my laptop at all during lectures.

For some reason, we learn math as if we were farmers in the early 1900s. We do not learn (Bayesian) statistics early enough to tell fact from fraud, what city dwellers and voters could probably use instead.

And applied math on a PC would be great, but we barely have applied math on a calculator.

And kids love calculators: only digital numbers are numbers. 2/3 is cleary not a number to anyone below 20 years of age, that is two numbers, we have to write .6666666\dash_over{6} down as a solution instead.

At least when I was a kid 20 years ago in the US, the math curriculum worked toward physical science and engineering applications (i.e. algebra, geometry, calculus), which also sets you up to understand probability/statistics. My impression was that's more or less standard all over. Has that changed?

I'm not sure how to interpret your last statement, but that seems like a problem worth correcting if true? They're going to need to understand fractions to do any math more advanced than elementary school level.

Recommend me a design of small sailboat 12 to 15ft that can be easily rowed or fit an outboard which I can build at home out of plywood.

Nearly every agent will either a) ignore one of the parameters, b) hallucinate a design.

What do you mean by finish? I put all my knives in without issue but probably wouldn't do wooden handles

I don't know about that, Roller Coaster Tycoon is fondly remembered and sits on a special place culturally because it was written in assembly by a single person.

I thought this was very common knowledge, we used the technique in our first year EE project.

Cheaper being a big one. Here in Australia student allowance/minimum wage has hardly increased while everything else has gotten far more expensive, young people simply can't afford to drink out/attend events.

There was also a intensive effort to kill nightclubs with lockout laws

This is a big barrier for me replacing our gas stove with induction. I get why they use them (easy cleaning, flush profile) but I just find a knob 100x more pleasant to use.

I can't stand induction stove tops, partially for this reason and opted to put a gas stovetop in our kitchen with an electric oven. I cook a lot and trying to quickly adjust the heat when you have something on your hands makes them completely useless and infuriating. There's the whole sensory feedback side of gas too which I'm so used to but that's a separate topic.

I don't see any reason why not: https://plausible.io/docs/events-api although you'd have to come up with your own user-agent

I've been looking at propulsion options for my sailing dinghy. Electric is heavy, expensive and I'd like to be able to capsize at will. Something like Hobie's mirage drive would be cool but it's another hole in the hull. I also saw a hand cranked propeller with a 3:1 ratio but that would make steering with the other hand awkward. I think I'll have to stick to oars for now
