So you cut off the thumb and ship it

Or make a casting

There's a million ways they could do it

No, logical "or" isn't exclusive. XOR is one and only one.

"I want either steak or fries"- but not both.

"and" means "both" or "all" conditions must be true, or items present in a set

"Or" means "any/at least one" condition needs to be true, or item present in a set.

The condition of "and" is already covered if you use "or". Unlessbyou say "either or".

No? You don't think the courts would approve of a fishing expedition for forth amendment violation access to your computer?

Isn't that better than... Like, drowning?

What good does that do for society?

If a cup has a few drops of water after you pour it out,

Say a drop is 0.05ml (20drop/mL is rule of thumb for chemistry). Say your glass cup holds 16oz (mine does), that's 473mL.

(4*0.05mL / 473mL) *100 = 0.04228% of the original concentration. Now scale that volume up. That ratio is going to be much smaller, since you're right about volume vs surface area.

5ppb is the cutoff for benzene in stunning water in Oregon apparently. EPA says 5ug/L.

5ppb is apparently 0.0000005%. That's about 84,000x higher than the cutoff for that one potential contaminant.

Given how small the minimum acceptable level is for many chemicals in gasoline or fuel... Yeah I bet it would increase cancer rates in a statistically significant way.

Yeah but it's not like you eat it

It's also an extremely common surname for those of English/Scottish/Irish descent. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_(name)

I'd be more willing to buy that they looked him up on social media and didn't like what they saw. Whether or not that was his profile picture (race), or something he posted, is something I can't answer.

But the name alone isn't something I'd believe.

Holy shit this is incredible to read

I used to explore abandoned factories when I was younger. I always dreamed what the work was like.

I always feel insulted when I go to the fridge for a snack and my smart watch says "nice job staying active"

I hate my job... (lemmy.world)

My job is so fucking unbelievable.

I'll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with:

First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her hair or putting on makeup. She is extremely self-centered and has never once considered the needs or wants of anyone but herself. She is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I still find it surprising that she has enough brain power to continue to breathe.

The next chick is completely the opposite. She might even be one of the smartest people on the planet. Her career opportunities are endless, and yet she is here with us. She is a zero on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm not sure she even showers, much less shaves her "womanly" parts. I think she might be a lesbian, because every time we drive by the hardware store, she moans like a cat in heat.

But the jewel of the crowd has got to be the fucking stoner. And this guy is more than just your average pothead. In fact, he is baked before he comes to work, during work, and I'm sure after work. He probably hasn't been sober anytime in the last ten years, and he's only 22. He dresses like a beatnik throwback from the 1960's, and to make things worse, he brings his big fucking dog to work. Every fucking day I have to look at this huge Great Dane walk around half-stoned from the second-hand smoke. Hell, sometimes I even think it's trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Also, both of them are constantly hungry, requiring multiple stops to McDonalds and Burger King, every single fucking day.

Anyway, I drive these fucktards around in my van and we solve mysteries and shit.
