We did prohibition once already. The result was that all the little guys went out of business and the big guys ended up in positions to be the only guys. I wouldn't discount that as being a possibility for weed.

Yep, this is what I was saying.

Yep.

First, let me say that Trump is an idiot and I'm not defending him.

That out of the way... Imagine your circle landmass has a 'C' shaped mountain range around the edge. The center of the 'C' is a sea level valley that floods when sea levels rise. Then the amount of coast would increase.

Obviously if sea level keeps rising forever then eventually the total coastline will trend to zero. Really just pointing out that the circle may be a bit of an oversimplification and in some given time frame coastline could increase.

None of the this is intended to defend Trump or deny the negative affects of climate change.

Definitely don't want the extra complexity. Guess my question is if there is a third type of statement (function, method, ____) or maybe even more. From other replies it doesn't sound like it.

[–] joshthewaster 1 points 5 months ago (5 children)

Follow up question. Are there any other ways I would find the length? Or are methods and functions the only options?

[–] joshthewaster 4 points 5 months ago

Thanks this is helpful.

Function - probably has some limitations depending on what it is meant to do but generally I send a thing, it does it's function to that thing, and returns the result (or error).

Method - part of the thing itself. Would have to be defined for that 'object' and if it isn't then it probably doesn't make sense to ask for that info.

Probably have a ways to go to understand objects and why I would choose one VS the other.

Agree about the romances in BG3, they feel pretty shallow. While I can maybe see your point about the writing in general what I think makes BG3 great is that it felt like playing tabletop dnd. New bad guys every week, silly fights and absurd coincidence, maps with minimal markers and characters that are there for the party to use to progress as heros (biggest thing to me that didn't feel like tabletop dnd was having to loot every box VS just saying I searched the room).

Haven't played other CDPR games. Guess I don't need to bother lol.

My vote too. It's crazy, nothing can be trusted when it relies on ads. Everyone likes to think it doesn't work on them or is worth the free content but they are wrong and it isn't.

The annular one over north America? Because it was annular. While a cool event it is really a specific kind of partial eclipse. Totality is incomparable to even a 99% partial eclipse. I heard it described as the difference between mostly dead VS dead and recently I've seen the xkcd comic that does a decent job conveying the difference too.

And nanies cost money. So do you have another employee who could be productive now play babysitter half the time? That isn't going to help anything but a lot of companies seem to think it's the answer.

That last bit is HUGE. Part of what is great about working from home is flexibility and forcing people to be in on certain days just isn't ever going to work for everyone. Inevitably you will end up with meetings where one person has to dial in and now the rest of team is annoyed they made the effort to show up that day.

Anyway, I don't disagree with you that a hybrid where everyone is on the office together for some amount of time could be very good for productivity and teamwork. However, it just isn't a realistic which then, as you said, makes it pointless.

Just let people work from wherever works for them.

This is true but hard to argue within the universe as we just don't have the info and there are in universe contradictions about transporters. Been a while since I saw the episode but for me - 'nonexistentance' is close enough to 'dead' that Tuvix should have been allowed to live.
