Greater Restoration
This thread asked about the most absurd, not the most dangerous.
Your order being fucked up or undercooked, or having an allergic reaction is a valid reason to have your meal comped, merely not liking the food is not a valid reason. It sucks you didn't like it, but it's no fault of the restaurant. That's what you ordered. It doesn't matter you only took two bites of it, all the restaurant can legally do with it is throw it in the trash, so it's still a loss for them.
Exactly. I would've left this country years ago if it was that simple. I can't afford to vacation in Canada, let alone move there, and I live in a northern state.
Who made you the authority on memes? Oh right, nobody.
So with the exact same amount of authority on the subject as you: Yes that is how internet memes work.
How you like it? If this were a human being, I'd shoot it in the face.
No, those companies aren't wrong, but they're not entirely right either. The answer to "6 ÷ 2(1+2)" is 1 on those calculators because that is a badly written equation and you(not literally you, to be clear) should feel bad for writing it, and the calculators can't handle it with their rigid hardcoded logic. The ones that do give the correct answer of 9 on that equation will get other equations wrong that it shouldn't be, again because the logic is hardcoded.
That doesn't change the fact that that equation worked out on paper is absolutely 9 based on modern rules of math. Calculate the parentheses first, you then have 6 ÷ 2(3). We could solve from here, but to make the point extra clear I'm going to actually expand this out to explicit multiplication. "2(3)" is the same as "2 x 3", so we can rewrite the equation as "6 ÷ 2 x 3". All operators now inarguably have equal precedence, which means the only factor left in which order to do the operations is left to right, and thus division first. The answer can only be 9.
You lost me on the section when you started going into different calculators, but I read the rest of the post. Well written even if I ultimately disagree!
The reason imo there is ambiguity with these math problems is bad/outdated teaching. The way I was taught pemdas, you always do the left-most operations first, while otherwise still following the ordering.
Doing this for 6÷2(1+2), there is no ambiguity that the answer is 9. You do your parentheses first as always, 6÷2(3), and then since division and multiplication are equal in ordering weight, you do the division first because it's the left most operation, leaving us 3(3), which is of course 9.
If someone wrote this equation with the intention that the answer is 1, they wrote the equation wrong, simple as that.
but does lead poisoning correlate with marked low emotional intelligence?
Yes, strongly. Lead exposure, especially in childhood, is known to lower IQ and also decrease empathy.
The other things you mentioned are definitely major factors as well, but yeah all that lead fucked the older generations brains.
Root by default is an awful idea.
