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
7·1 month 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.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you think "coconut water" is corporate propaganda and it should be called "coconut juice"?English
9·2 months agoI call all of it “sugar water” so that my kids know the two main ingredients.
Fortnite? My kids don’t play it anymore, I don’t know.

Music@lemmy.world•Britney Spears Sells Entire Music Catalog To Primary WaveEnglish
11·3 months agoI hope some of it makes it back to her and doesn’t get siphoned off by debt, managers, handlers, etc.
This is for the 30-55 year old demo, for sure. Young enough that you had to learn to keep pace with technology and old enough that devices your kids use are mostly plug and play. Bit at what cost? AT WHAT COST?

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.

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•A new ‘solution’ to student homelessness: a parking lot where students can sleep safely in their carsEnglish
181·5 months agoGood. It’s terrible that this is a reality, but what is happening here is the decriminalization of being homeless and a student. Sure, you have to have a car, which isn’t great, but for those in this situation that need this service, I imagine it to be a comfort.
What this also does is make a very public safe space for people in dire conditions to congregate, commiserate, and hopefully organize. Please make a tent city; nothing will help illustrate the problem more. Create a safe place for unhoused people and see just how many show up.
A safe space for anyone to help meet their basic needs should always be a good thing.
