    Maths question

    Not really, it just shows the derivation of a standard solution. The answer is: y = 2/3 x Easy.

    Maths question

    x = residential element y = commercial element The maximum of the commercial element (y) is 40% of the sum of x and y, i.e.: y <= 0.4(x + y) So, if y > 0.4(x + y), we can use the formula to maximise y: y = 0.4(x + y) Rearranging: y = 0.4x + 0.4y 0.6y = 0.4x y = (0.4/0.6) x y = 2/3 x...

    Prime hydration

    Oh, look, the solution to the madness is right in front of everyone's eyes... Adequate parenting... It's sad to see grown adults and parents here perpetuating a rush on sugared water just to make a pittance from kids' daftness.

    *** Battlefield 2042 (Console) ***

    Just opened this up for the first time last night on PS5 and you have to do an AI bot battle before they let you play the actual game; however there are no bots in my match, is this normal? I was just running around on my own and gave up and went to bed. Have it on PC and got it free on PS5, so...

    Flashback 2

    Looks great! Did you ever play Fade to Black? That was a great game and the "original" sequel to Flashback. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fade_to_Black_(video_game)

    Military Bin Laden Helicopter raid questions

    Apparently Rob O Neill was not the person who initially shot Bin Laden (that person remains unnamed, the silent professional of sorts), but he did burst through the doorway afterwards and shoot him in the face when he was prostrate on the floor. Apparently they all had a go at canoeing him...

    Skiing with kids

    Perfect age. Last week our 5 yr old got her ESF Ourson badge, and our 8 yr old got her ESF 2 star badge, which is about the 5th level up from absolute beginner and 4 from the highest badge. The 8 yr old can parallel way better than me already. They pick up the technique much faster and don't...

    ASDA is owned by US Walmart, so I wouldn't expect anything other than mercenary behaviour from them.

    What are the 30 year old plus gamers playing?

    I'm 40 this year, very much in the can't be arsed with long games phase. Since Xmas I've decided to give myself a bit more time to game and it's been mostly BFV on PC, which is still very enjoyable. There's a Narvik movie on Netflix which reminded me to fire it up again. I tried BF2042 in the...

    Does something need to be done about dogs?

    https://people.com/crime/2-children-killed-pit-bull-attack-tennessee-mother-hospitalized/ Imagine your "pet" Pit Bulls eat both your children and leave you scarred for life. Unbelievable. I can only imagine the desperation, sadness, anguish and guilt what's left of the family is feeling. For...

    Entitlement what can we do about it.

    Obviously that is true, it has been true for millennia, but that's not what is being debated. What is being debated is the belief that in general, young people are entitled. I don't think that's true, and in fact I believe that any concerns they have are perfectly reasonable due to the lifelong...

    Entitlement what can we do about it.

    I don't have an argument? What? What exactly is your point? They are not expecting things to be different and they are not expecting everyone else to accommodate. They are expressing a desire for things to be different and managing their situation anyway. To call them entitled for expressing a...

    Entitlement what can we do about it.

    So what is it then? If it's not happiness, and they're not allowed to want the opposite, is it complete apathy that they must display? I'm astounded by the need to denigrate young people as entitled in a post like OP, seemingly triggered by an article in which the results of a survey say people...

    Entitlement what can we do about it.

    "Everyone else" is you and Dis86. Hang on, I have to come back to this. You believe that new people entering the workforce should just be happy to be disadvantaged compared to all of the rest of the living adult generations and that simply not wanting that to be the case is "entitlement". At...

    Anyway, I think we've established that not wanting regression does not constitute entitlement.

    What would you say to a grad on 25k who is demotivated and raises the point that they are mathematically screwed in relation to previous generations?

    I'm interested to find out why you hold so strongly to the belief that young people are entitled. What do you pay graduates in your team? What is the job?
