This is why “divide by half” and “divide in half” are two different things

Any positive number?

Ehhh |q| = √p but close enough

What if, instead of a tattoo, everyone who voted just becomes that race?

The logistics would be tricky. Aside from the fact that race doesn’t exist, people within an ethnicity don’t all look the same. And would they still have the background of however they were originally born?

A lot of your hair care depends on if it’s curly or straight, oily or dry, thin or thick, etc.

For managing hair in your face, hair bands are good. If you’re not tying it back as tight as a gymnast or something, you’re probably not putting enough strain on it to cause balding. If you want better ways to hold it back, spiral hair ties like these are more gentle and tangle less than normal elastic ones. Long barrettes for the back of the head like this keep hair on the sides from falling into your face. They look especially good with curly hair, and if you’re worried about it looking too feminine (which you probably shouldn’t) you can get subtle black ones. Side braids are a really good way to control the sides, and make you look like a Viking. You would need to get good at French braiding or have someone do it for you.

For hair care, it really depends on what makes your hair happy. I have very curly hair that goes about halfway down my back. I wash it about once a week, more if it gets dirty. I start with a pre-wash scalp oil. I use a really gentle shampoo or none at all, then a really good conditioner or hair mask meant for curly hair. After showering, I use a de-frizz leave in conditioner, then a hair oil, then a pomade on the tips, all using the scrunch method. I never brush my hair when it’s dry, I carefully comb tangles out in the shower while the conditioner or mask sits. Brushing will destroy curls.

I highly recommend Jonathan Van Ness for care advice, and his products are excellent, but pretty pricey. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for, and it’s hard to find cheaper alternatives that work nearly as well.

Haven’t seen the dress and I don’t need to, 5 is the correct choice

Just wait until you find out how meerkats got their name

4 cups of cheese, almost 3 cups of soup, almost a cup of 7up, and somehow this yields 4.5 cups of sauce? It doesn’t mention reducing in the recipe even. What an atrocity.

The MRI is pretty likely fake too. Front facing MRIs are rare, and eyes don’t usually have that kind of contrast pattern

When you have to run resistive heaters the electrical usage skyrockets and makes a heat pump system vastly more expensive to operate.

More expensive than a heat pump without a backup/additional electrical resistance heater. Not more expensive than an electrical resistance heater on its own.

That’s what’s so strange about this, in most cases a heat pump would be replacing a non-reversible AC and an electrical resistance heater or gas-fueled furnace. And in nearly every case, even with the need for a backup/additional resistance heater, you’re still saving money. And it’s not like any of this is new technology, it just took forever for it to become popular in the US.

Or puzzles that are completely esoteric or unintuitive. Just replayed some of the Myst games, and it’s like “oh ok I was stuck on this for 30min because the lever was on the other side of the map and there was literally no indication that it was related”. That’s just artificially inflating your game’s difficulty, and it’s lazy puzzle making. Boooo
