Reply to Credit card companies don’t let you pay back right away in hopes you’ll forget to pay when you finally can pay it off. by Trehn10
Don't let you pay back right away? They sure do. I can put a days worth of charges on my card and pay it off at the end of the day.

I'm trying to see Aus, but I'm not seeing it. Maybe outline the portion that fits best?

That's 5/8". It's everything else slapped on top that adds the depth.

Holup. Gotta stop you on the last one. I know I'm not the only one who has a visceral, uncontrollable reaction to the sound of mouth parts working food loudly. It's not something I choose to acknowledge, it's that I literally cannot NOT acknowledge it when it's happening. Its a super shitty thing to experience.

Currently I am learning Norton's Theorem, Thevenin's Theorem, Kirchhoff's Laws, the Superposition Theorem, and the Law of Voltage Proportionality. All within the context of DC electrical circuit analysis. (Part of the licensed electrician journey)
Any tips and tricks for making these things easier to do when it comes to the drawing of the circuit and implementation of the theories?

Reply to comment by patienceisfun2018 in AI Seinfeld banned on Twitch over transphobic jokes by asjonesy99
I believe the real big issue with Rowling is her misunderstanding gender/sex via tweets she's made previously. There's also an issue with her using the lesbian/gay community as a touch point to defend what folks are calling transphobic commentary.
Her tweets are all available online via a quick Google search, then you can make up your own mind about whether what she's said warrants the responses she received.

Reply to How much do you re-read, if at all, when picking a book back up the next day? by strikeblazer
Totally depends on the content. If I'm reading something by Pinker on neuroscience, I'll generally have to peel back about two or three paragraphs. When I'm reading something like Warhammer fantasy, I can normally just pick up and read and it'll fall back into context quickly.
When I set a book down for a while, I'll typically just skim the previous few pages upon picking it back up to see if I remember what was going on.

Though, I think Neitzche wanted the lack of god to be replaced with humanity striving to build themselves into the ideal species. I'm sure eugenics was born in that thought space. Not what I think he was going for, but his sister was a real piece of work and decided the Nazis would benefit immensely from a cruelly twisted and completely misunderstood philosophical thought process. If she hadn't misinterpreted his thoughts regarding the Ubermensch deliberately, who knows what could have been different.

Did Hedonism grow out of the Neitzchean ideal of god being dead and us necessarily having to fill that lack of purpose or sense of direction with distraction to minimize the pains of being alive?

Oof, that's annoying as fuck. I'd just slap a daily reminder ping to make sure you don't forget.
