Also not paying for LibreOffice, Linux and Gimp.

Sounds like an urban legend. Who do you mean anyway? James Couzens? Harry Bennett? Charles Sorensen? His son Edsel? They all died of natural causes.

Ok if it's up for two days and still not showing better quality than something different is going on. YouTube is typically pretty fast with encoding videos and most of the time all resolutions are finished between 15min and 1h after uploading the video, so it's maybe not that in your case.

There is very likely some step to sit on 🤣. To empty the water you just need a hose and do the same trick people use to steal gasoline (or a pump if you want to be fast and fancy).

"Only two crates used". What's great about reinventing the wheel? A closed source project with big claims trying to reinvent everything from scratch. Nice project 🤣

Early humans (before they prepared anything) it was actually evolution that made sure we know what to eat. It's a gradual process that leads to a situation that most common things that are harmful cause pain and everything that's poisonos tastes awful and bitter.

In very simplified terms, if you as a human found something to eat and it tasted good, you probably ate a lot of it. If it was poisonous you just died. If you didn't like it you didn't eat it, so everybody that was genetically predisposed to dislike poisonous stuff didn't eat a lot of it and reproduced.

Pain is a similar story. Everyone not feeling enough pain stopped being careful and died.

What also adds into the mix is that humans are social animals that learn from each other.

Note that evolution is a very very slow process so a lot of things started out as instincts (like some animals that just avoid yellow-black striped animals). If this is important in your environment this instinct will get stronger and stronger until it turns into some sort of pain.

So regarding poisonos, if they are common in nature chances are pretty high that eating a little bit won't kill you and it will taste like shit.

Update: That's also the reason why sugar tastes so sweet and good. We evolved to like it because it was important for survival during a time you couldn't just go out and buy that stuff in bulk.

In this case it's actually the absence of sources. I couldn't find a single credible source that states that ÷ has somehow a different operator priority than / or that :

The only things there are a lot of are social media comments claiming that without any source.

My guess is that this comes from a misunderstanding that the obelus sign is forbidden in a lot of standards. But that's because it can be confused with other symbols and operations and not because the order of operations is somehow unclear.

What is the correct answer according to the convention you follow?

Thank you so much for taking the time. I'm also not convinced that APS's notation is a very good choice but I'm neither american nor a physisist 🤣

I'd love to see how the exceptions work that the APS added, like allowing explicit multiplications on line-breaks, if they still would do the multiplication first, but I couldn't find a single instance where somebody following the APS notation had line-break inside an expression.

They do that to save bandwidth and money. It's not your bandwidth they are trying to save, it's theirs because streaming so many videos to so many people costs money. So they are trying to be sneaky and use lower quality settings as often as possible to reduce cost.

So now you are trying to use the Tanner scale to determine if somebody is an adult? There is no strawman here, you are writing those ridiculous comments yourself.
