  • They will, but you have to follow some protocols, like not having beard where the masks is supposed to seal around your face, not using it more than ~3 times (iirc), not trying to clean it (just let it rest for some days on a clean surface) and etc.

    Basically always seal testing.

    Also, iirc the N stands for not oil resistant, so any oil staining ruins it. I’d guess that includes sneezing on it.

    I get what you are saying, it is unintuitive that you can call a water molecule water. Because water, when found in nature, is always a mixture, right? Needs more than a single substance to be a mixture.

    Entertain this, though: a group with a single element is still a group.

    Wouldn’t you say a pure water substance can be reduced to a single water molecule? It still is pure water substance.

    same as x * .5 = .25 if that somehow helps ya

    I suspect people might be getting confused by this because of colloquialisms like “divided in half”, “divided in the middle”, “divided by two”

    things is, math doesn’t care about idioms

    another area in mathematics that I’ve seen ppl (myself included lmao) suffer from this is propositional logic. like with the non exclusive nature of the OR operator

    but this is all just a wild guess



  • Remember: big corpo trains you to depend on them since childhood in schools, which all use Office.

    lmao I remember getting schooled by a math teacher when I tried to use libreoffice calc instead of excel on an assignment back in highschool

    detail: all the school computers ran linux. fuck whoever didn’t have a pc with windows at home

    she brought her windows laptop and attached it to the projector and expected everyone to have the assignment files in a format excel could read

    problem is, at least going 12 years back, not all calc functions and/or param names translate directly to excel ones

    so when she opened the file, which I made sure was one excel could read, there was a bunch of gibberish on some cells

    when I told her it worked as intended on libreoffice, she said something along the lines of: you don’t go to church using the same clothes that you use when going to a nightclub

    anyway, at least the school was trying not to depend on windows

    I don’t think a black hole would have time to form before the entire universal collapse, though

    that’s infinite mass inside infinite volume right there, we aren’t talking about only infinite density anymore

    we need to get a theoretical physicist on this… track
