Weirdly though it wasn’t remotely close to the right answer so I don’t think it was floating point malarkey. I always assumed some defect but I guess we’ll never know.now I wish I had kept it so I could have sent it to Matt Parker for his calculator reviews
I bought a cheap scientific calculator for math class. When I tried to multiply .5 by .5 it gave a long irrational number instead of .25. then I had to try to explain to the store clerk why that was wrong before they would accept the return
FTL. At least until you’ve beaten the game several times
I think they are actually molasses flavoured toffee if it’s the ones I’m thinking of. Always left to the very last, only to be consumed in the more dire of candy draughts
If the reaction of the kids who come to my door is any indication the best is ring pops. You can sometimes hear kids shouting to other ones down the street “hey, this place has ring pops!”
Worst: those molasses toffees with the orange/white/black wrapper
Mathias Wandel on YouTube made some good videos a few years ago about maximizing airflow through a house with fans. One big finding was that rather than having a fan directly in a window or door pointing out it is actually best to have it a few meters away and directed at the opening. That allows the fan’s airstream pull in and start moving much more air in the room out the opening. He used strips of paper hanging in doorways around the house and also I think took anemometer readings to get good measures of the airflow.
I think the general theory is to run the fans starting in the evening once the air temp outside is lower than inside, then close up the house in the morning to trap the cool overnight air?

And even more, the opening of Office Space https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XASNM1XEQPs
The removal of borders on buttons. I don’t know how many times I’ve been using a piece of software and haven’t realized for a long while that some icon is actually a clickable thing and not just some UI decoration or something.
The removal of text in favor of icons. I hate having to memorize what all your icons mean in your app. Please just make text unless it’s something insanely obvious. It’s even worse when they neglect to put tool tips to tell you what the icon is supposed to mean
Me when I’ve been home from school for hours and my parents get home late after having gone out for dinner
Possibly but I think Canada’s auto workers are pretty strongly against doing that and there’s quite a lot of them so the political parties are unlikely to do something that might cost those jobs. Unless they can work out some kind of deal like what was done with Japanese auto makers to bring some of the work here?
