Usually whan people make this argument with BG3 as evidence it comes with the implicit assumption that Larian is a AA developer, not a AAA one. I haven't done enough research on what constitutes AAA vs AA and where Larian fits in that so I don't know if that's reasonable, but that's the argument.

To me it looks like the artist fully redrew the frame again, and for the most part the differences are mistakes. They probably redrew it to make it undeniable that it's separate frames, similar to doing the same thing in animation to give a flipbook effect.

Gnocchi I wouldn't personally call a noodle but if someone did I wouldn't call them out on it. Hell, I probably wouldn't even notice.

Ravioli is definitely a noodle. Not the stuff inside, though.

Pierogi is a similar story to ravioli, even if it feels less "noodle"y to me.

Other dumplings it depends. Chicken & dumplings' dumplings for example definitely aren't, as that's usually leavened (and even when the aren't they're still quite bread-like). Bao isn't for similar reasons. Gyoza if steamed/boiled is again like ravioli, and I'd still describe it that way if pan-fried but only because of it's resemblance to boiling it.

Point is, the american english definition of noodle, or at least how I use it as an american, is boiled, unleavened dough. When you see americans refer to some food as a noodle it's more often a textural distinction, not a shape one (even if most would consider noodles to have a canonical shape, which is why the OP feels the need to clarify sheets).

While I do agree that math gets much easier with interest, and that it gets more interesting the further you get into it, and that math is inherently beautiful, etc. I feel this argument has to fall flat to people who don't already agree. It's the education equivalent of when someone says they couldn't get into an anime and then the fans tell them 'oh it gets really good around season 9'. You could be completely correct, as you are here, but it's utterly unconvincing if you don't already "know."

To be fair, I think this is mostly a problem with math curricula. Math classes up through high school and early college seem to focus on well trodden solutions to boring problems, and at some (far too late) point it flips around to being creative solutions to interesting problems. I think this could be fixed eventually, but such is the system we have now.

I've seen the occasional post here on lemmy making this point. I don't see anything factually wrong in saying she'd likely keep status quo or even make it worse. But when I see this said the one thing that I always wonder is never addressed:

How would the outcome be better if you voted against her?

Like, I have to imagine that someone making this argument thinks Trump would improve the situation. Because if that isn't the case, then this is not a decision I'm making at the voting booth, so saying she'd continue genocide as a reason to vote against her falls flat (and, if you're wondering, is why people are quick to downvote this argument). Is the hope that Trump will see the artillery shells sent to isreal as "librul policy" and axe it on that basis? Or that he'll do such a bad job that he'll get assassinated/arrested/overthrown? Something else entirely?

Enlighten me, because I can't envision Trump making anything better.

~~Yeah I'm on voyager too and home stopped working for me at the same time as this hidden community issue. Home and All are literally the same feed now. Curious if these issues are related.~~

Lol it refused to post this reply until I logged out then back in, whereupon the issue was fixed. Guess that answers that.

I've tried to hide all the moes but it feels sisyphean. I hide cyber moe, military moe, office moe... but the next day someone is going to start taco moe and I will see a half naked girl with cheese hair and a lettuce bra. There is no escape.

Hmm... the first three are the reals, but the last one is the rationals. Am I reading that right?

I live in Washington state and I'm pretty certain the sales tax here is 10% (slightly higher than your maximum figure of 9.56%). It's a pretty well known trick here that you can account for tax just by decimal shifting and adding (ex: 5.29$ without would be 5.29$ + 0.529$ ~= 5.81$ with tax). Is that 9.56% an "in practice" figure that accounts for rounding down? I'm curious where you read it.

 

The community server post says you should get whitelisted within 24 hours. I submitted a whitelist application a few days ago, and I haven't been added yet (and looking at the comments of that post implies it hasn't been updated in nearly a month). A wait period of longer than 24 hours is fine, but I think that should be reflected in the post.
