Is it true to say that two numbers that are equal are also approximately equal?

Me on my bike going slower than cars: Of course cars are faster, that was never in doubt. There are a lot of other reasons I choose to ride a bike.

Does Rhubar count as a portmanteau of rhubarb and bar? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Based on reading the Wikipedia article, I think it would count as a "partial blend", where you use one whole word and one partial word. In this case rhu from rhubarb, plus bar. So I think you're in the clear.

Exactly π Upvotes and I will change community name to Hyperborean Hold 'em in c/[email protected]

TIL Haydn's "Surprise Symphony" was NOT written to wake up sleeping audience members; that was just a myth (discuss.tchncs.de)

Back in school I heard the story that Haydn wrote the "Surprise Symphony" because he was sick of people sleeping through his music, and wanted to startle them awake. It seems like this was a myth.

From the Wikipedia article:

In Haydn's old age, his biographer Georg August Griesinger asked him whether he wrote this "surprise" to awaken the audience. Haydn replied:

No, but I was interested in surprising the public with something new...

Why do all the cool stories from history end up being made up?

Just got my first Erratic Deck gold stake win using Obelisk (discuss.tchncs.de)

I was never able to pull off Obelisk before, but I had the perfect setup this time - the deck was mostly diamonds and clubs, and I got an early flush joker so I was playing nothing but flushes anyway when Obelisk showed up. Got up to 12 flushes before starting to play other hands.

Look out, drive-by modding! (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm kidding - just a non-violent heads up that I got myself added as a mod here, since the original mod seems to have disappeared (I'm not trying to "dirt road" them or anything).

I mainly did it just to get rid of the ~~black mold~~ sticky post that's been sitting at the top of the page for the past 7 months.

Anyway, let me know if you have any requests or suggestions! Also, it seems like since I'm not a lemmy.world user, I can't see reports here, so please message me if there's a post that needs to be deleted or anything.

Lates!

I was wondering if someone could make me a mod of [email protected]. The mod there hasn't been active in 7 months. I messaged them last week and the week before, but got no response. I mainly just want to remove an old sticky post. Thanks!

Edit: this has been taken care of, thanks!
