how the hell do you mess up plain greek yogurt as bad as Target did

this shit is nasty

It has like the consistency of blended vanilla greek yogurt, and the taste is off

And it's like...reflective? in a way that it normally isn't

@rydwolf Yogurt is a living thing, never 100% consistent

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

When's my payday? Description I get paid on the 28th of each month, except where the 28th falls on a weekend (Saturday or Sunday). In that case, payday is the previous working day. For this challenge you can ignore national holidays, assume every Monday-Friday is a working day. Input and Output I...

@rydwolf I don't think I've ever heard anyone describe yogurt as 'reflective'

also feel inclined to ask

why are you buying yogurt from target of all places

lyxal

Their targets are probably different to ours

I think you can actually buy food at their targets

at least, that's what my research indicates

which would make sense

given our target isn't related to their target at all

source

so where we know target as the funny haha mostly clothes but also games and furniture and beauty store, I think their target could very well be more like Woolworths or Coles if they had more stuff

Hello all!

@lyxal woah new TIL

ikr

Americans do everything weird

Apparently you can buy TVs in the same place you buy shredded cheese

Redz

w h a t

lyxal

instead of going to dedicated tech store like JB HiFi or Harvey Norman

...I really just tried to write that as Harvey Normal

@Redz like proper ranges of TVs

Redz

speaking of dedicated tech stores

lyxal

not that stuff you find in the special buys sections

Redz

I went to one here in japan like an hour ago

six. floors. of tech

massive floors too

lyxal

I hear they're like that

Redz

11:56

@lyxal relatable

it's so cool though

lyxal

I bought the CRAZIEST tech in Japan

►

like that?

Redz

nah not really

more like shelves of camera lenses or chargers and adapters and stuff

lyxal

Also does this mean that SE nitro anime is potentially a thing now?

Redz

se nitro animatic is already coming

lyxal

Yes but Japan might leave a creative influence on you :p

Redz

12:04

hmm possibly

I can never draw anime style though

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Where is it midnight? With the passing of ex-president Jimmy Carter, a meme twitter account titled "Did Jimmy Carter Die Today?" erroneously tweeted the usual "No": Somme commenters argued that the post should really have been made at midnight, ensuring complete data about the last day, but this...

Q: Solving the high school algebra problem

We learned many identities involving addition, multiplication and exponentiation in highschool, for example: $$ \begin{aligned} (a+b)c &= ac + bc \\ (a b)^c &= a^c b^c \\ (a^b)^c &= a^{bc} \end{aligned} $$ etc. Can you write a program that, given an equation involving these operations, determine ...

CMQ given a random x+1 bit integer I want to compute the probability that it has two x bit factors. How can I do that in code reasonably quickly?

mousetail 'he-him'

So one friend who was coming to my new years games asked if one if his friends could also come, then cancelled himself. So now it's 1 friend 3 strangers

Themoonisacheese

15:51

that's fun

i have a horror story about going to a random guy's house for new years that broke like 7 people's friendship with a guy who hit me in the face multiple times while i was sleeping drunk

mousetail 'he-him'

Tell more

wow

@Simd x == 3 ? 0.5 : 0

since 100=10*10 and 110=11*10 are the only two solutions

Simd

17:11

An x bit number is between 2^{x-1} and 2^x-1

@mousetail'he-him' you could decide you can't go either!

Also I'm being evicted so great day so far

WHAT

mousetail 'he-him'

It was kind of expected but still rude to call new on new years day, then wish me happy new year afterwards

YEAHHHHH

Simd

@mousetail'he-him' oh!

mousetail 'he-him'

18:10

Ok everyone cancelled except one guy who can't because he missed the last train back home

Simd

@mousetail'he-him' :) are they all going to a separate party?

mousetail 'he-him'

Perhaps

Simd

Happy new year in any case

Which country are you in?

mousetail 'he-him'

With my current savings and income, I could just about afford to buy one of the cheapest houses. If I manage to do that, I'll be part of the elite. Otherwise, I'll be homeless.

@mousetail'he-him' good luck!

Do you have a coding job?
