Grind up one of every official state bird, and make it into a hot dog.

Still not enough info. The race is legally a tie if the times are within a certain (I think a millisecond) interval, and with runners this similar in ability, the probability that nobody wins is non-zero.

I like that you include your art in the photograph. Pleasant as they are, I might not have recognized your breasts out of context, but I know I’ve seen your watercolors before.

Employers love it because it gives them plausible legal cover for two essential freedoms:

If they like you anyway, they can hire you and defend any discrimination claims with the fact that you had the strongest resume.

Whenever they stop liking you, they can expose the lie and fire you on the spot for good cause.

So really, it’s a win-win situation for both you and your prospective employer.

A Braille-to-speech app. Point the camera at the Braille part of a sign, and be told what it says.

Intended user base: Users who can’t read due to sight impairment, can’t read Braille directly either for whatever reason, and couldn’t find a general-purpose OCR app capable of reading the ordinary text.

All the potheads in my class knew exactly how many grams are in an eighth of an ounce.

They don’t deserve my opinion if they’re that irresponsible with the data. I just stopped doing them when I learned that.

Exactly. It’s merely our human preference for those types of files that allow them to work at all.

Regardless which lossless compression algorithm you prefer, it makes most files bigger.

*where “files” includes all bitstrings of a given length, whether or not they’ve ever existed

I did, and you can too. Here’s how: 4/17 is about 4/16 = 1/4 = 0.25, but a little less because 1/16 is greater than 1/17. The error term is about 4/(16^2) or 4/250, so subtract about another 2 hundredths to 0.23.

If I need more than 2 decimals of precision, I’d use the calculator. But by the time I type it in I already know to expect an answer of about 0.23. If the calculator give me anything else, I’ll redo it more carefully.

A good student knows enough basic math to know whether or not their calculator did what they thought it did, or if they mistyped something, had it in the wrong mode, missed order of operations, etc.

HRT was originally used to treat menopausal women at risk for osteoporosis, who are at higher risk due to being old.

I’m aware that transgenders also have a higher than otherwise expected mortality (whether taking hormones or not), but they may not be numerous enough to move the needle against millions of old women.

If I don’t block ads, then I’m stealing from the advertiser who’s paying per impression to someone who isn’t interested in their crap.

If the ad makes noise, moves around the screen, crashes my browser, or otherwise actively interferes with my ability to obtain the information I was looking for, It’ll leave me with such a negative impression that I won’t buy anything from that brand, now or ever – or from the creator who allowed them to break an otherwise good website.

So really, by blocking ads, I’m defending the good reputation of both creators and their sponsors.

Experience with bankruptcy law preferred

I was told it was better for load balancing if we didn’t all use the same one. So I just looked for one that had easy signups and didn’t seem overeager to block stuff. Apparently, some from this instance come form /r/china. I’m not, but I do drink coffee. Anyway, I think it’s working out so far; better than reddit anyway.

Some folding money, a bank card, some loose checks (ragged from wear as I prefer the previous items for most retail transactions), some ID cards, a gift card that I might use, another that I’ll probably give away to someone who shops at that store, a local library card, a library card from a place I lived 10 years ago but is probably still valid, a torn piece of paper with some unexplained writing on it (some phone numbers, but I forget whose; I think a pin for a card I don’t have anymore; a gate code for a storage locker I no longer use), a blood donor card with blood type (A+), a partially accurate vaccination card, some other things that are either expired, or never mattered.
