Do you mean I can't just pause a street brawl to eat 8 bags of flour and a wheel of cheese to restore some health before continuing to fight?

I hate to burst your bubble, but not everyone in Norway lives in places like your image.

Source: I live in a village in Norway by the fjord between tall mountains, a lot like your image.

One inhalation on a single cigarette is said to reduce your life by 7 minutes. How does this apply here? Is the scale linear or exponential?

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.

But the post says "horse" not "house". You know, like the neigh-type of thing.

Those numbers are worringly low. I have been assuming that the vocal group, the ones taking to the streets with their little hats and grumpy faces, were a very verbal minority. I'd expect way more than 1/3 to prefer some other candidate. Not great.

I think you're fine in just 3 dimensions. If the person to the upper left and lower right have a separate elevation from the other two, this is basically just the shape of a 4 sided die.

A pretty general explanation is that a number consists of an length and an angle on the number line. Positive numbers have angle = 0. Negative numbers have angle = pi (or 180° if you want to work with degrees instead of radians).

Multiplication is an operation where you add together the angles to retrieve the resulting angle and multiply together lengths to get the resulting length (yes, kinda recursive, but we're only working with purely positive numbers here).

So 3 * (-3) means
Length = 3 * 3 = 9
Angle = 0 + pi = pi (or 0 + 180° = 180°)

Of course this is very pedantic, but it works in more complex scenarios as well (pun intended).

Imaginary numbers have angle pi/2 (or 90°) or 3pi/2 (or 270°). So if you for instance want to find the square root of i, you can solve it by finding the length:

1 = x * x

And angle:

pi/2 = y + y
(can use modulus 2pi to acquire 2 solutions here)

Solving the equations and resolving the real and imaginary part with trigonometry, we get

1/sqrt(2) + 1/sqrt(2)*i

And

-1/sqrt(2) - 1/sqrt(2)*i

Intellij: Has a modern GUI for Git with code cleanup, import optimization and visualization of changes.

Me: Open terminal, 'git commit -m "wrote code" && git push'. Then realize I forgot to add half of the files, so I make another commit. Then realize I forgot to cleanup bad indents, so I make another commit. Then realize my code doesn't even build, so I make another commit, etc.

Time-limited consumables as buffs can be a huge annoyance. In a ton of games I just end up stacking them, waiting for an opportunity where I need them, but usually when I need them, I don't have the time to stop and use them. I keep ending those kind of games with an inventory full of potions.

You should follow the general advice: Don't send messages to your X.

/r/place is impressive since we can see how incredibly many people get together to create something, and it lives with tons of active users.

Even though lemmy is rising, I don't think lemmy has nearly enough users to actually make a copy of the concept.

But can we be a bit more creative? Lemmy isn't Reddit - it would be great if we could make something original instead.
