No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Construction workers or people in business and all who is right in this scene the teacher or Rodney Dangerfield?English
7·21 days agoI am in construction (not manufacturing) and own my own business. Truth is, they are both right.
Rodney is right because there are a huge number of variables that the prof’s equation is ignoring. Also, it is generally a good idea to know what you are manufacturing and work to produce that product as efficiently as possible. The professor is sort of putting the cart before the horse by building a factory with no product.
That said, we are in a learning environment and seemingly in a lower-level class. You have to strip away real-world variables to teach the lessons at hand. The professor is right not to include corrupt politicians and mafia folk, it’s too much when you are trying to start with the basics. But he should’ve had the class decide on a product - he said it himself, it could be anything - and then build up from there.
Mafia payoffs are a 300 level course.

It would actually be an appropriate title for the episode.
I use Recipe Keeper for Android. It converts pics, text and URLs to recipes, has a shopping list function, and is a 1-time purchase after the 1st 20 recipes you store. It’s also very simple - does everything I need and nothing I don’t.

Fortnite? My kids don’t play it anymore, I don’t know.

Semisimian@startrek.websitetoData is Beautiful@lemmy.world•Top Apps By Age, Q4 2025English
2·2 months agoFucking Amazon. They’re dominating the replacement parts and hardware market so much that even the big box stores are decreasing their inventory for stuff I need daily for my job. Whatever I need, Amazon can get it to me faster and cheaper than anybody else - I know why and I hate that is the case. I am forced to participate to stay solvent in my work, forced to participate in the “land of the free.”

26·2 months agoIt’s pedophiles all the way down…
No one had to invent a cheese pizza scandal or any other far flung theory, it’s happening with photographic and documented proof right before everyone’s eyes. I know that right-wingers have a strict in-group vs out-group ideology, but when your in-group includes SO MANY known pedophiles… I mean, c’mon.

History@lemmy.world•Innocent African-American child George Stinney executed after being falsely accused of murdering two white girls | 1944English
47·3 months agoThe image is from a short film: https://youtu.be/5iL1f-jV32A
George Stinney’s execution is an example of how terrible we can be to each other. It has been depicted on screen a couple of times and is always gut-wrenching to watch. I just wanted you to know that this is not actual footage of him.
I agree, which is why I don’t see why people are saying the answer is 16. You add in the parentheses, you multiply, then you divide. The answer is 1.
This left-to-right business linked below is complete nonsense when it comes to equations. That’s how westerners read books, but not how math is communicated. Am I that old? Like Mr. Incredible said, did they change math!?!
Luckovich is a badass.
