It leads me to think about writing a polynomial function that I know will have complex roots because I was taught the answer to that is "no solution", By the time one reaches calcu…

It is clear you are not a mathematician. When we write something like: x^2 + x + 1 = 0 And say solve it we are definitely not asserting that the two expressions are the same. Indee…

0x is the same thing as 0 so it appears my example is a good one in that you yourself don’t fully understand the concepts involved. This isn’t pejorative. Suppose I said solve x = …

Not everyone can learn calculus or even basic algebra. A person with a severe intellectual disability isn’t going to be able to learn these subjects. Between severely intellectuall…

Students don’t fully grasp concepts at the early stages and they never will. Very few students who master the quadratic formula understand that this formula allows you to factor se…

I think it’s clear what is meant by the title. In case it’s not to you then “aftermath” refers to: aftermath of the start of the war and the accompanying sanctions and ongoing glob…

I have no medical expertise but I do know that overwhelmingly those who do have expertise took the “vaccine” and the booster shots. It does not matter to me what word you use to de…

I agree with your overall point but at this time there are, thankfully, few believers of Scientology. Hopefully at some point in the future encountering an anti-vaxer will be as ra…

Let’s say we are in base 3. Typically the symbols used to construct representations for numbers using the standard positional notation would be the numerals {0, 1, 2}. We could use…

Don’t have to take off your shoes with pre-check and I’ve found that the probability of being groped during a secondary screening is far lower with pre-check.

So Gazprom is a monopoly within Russia. Germany is not solely the reason for the EU sanctions. Other countries were involved in the sanctions decision. The Baltics and Poland, etc.…

Russia’s economy, from what I’ve read, is contracting much more with sanctions than without them. I think it’s clear and obvious that the EU did not impose sanctions on Russia for …

Which other Russian companies supply Russian gas to Europe in significant quantities? I thought Gazprom was pretty much the only company doing this but I have only a cursory knowle…

It is meaningful to point out. As the poverty rate declines worldwide more and more people will start consuming like Americans do. There aren’t enough resources in the world to sus…

Russia’s economy is contracting so in what sense are sanctions not working? They aren’t 100% effective but they do appear to be having an effect and long term the effects, if sanct…

You have it backwards. The general statement by Fry is justly questioned by an example which, if true, suggests the general statement might be false.

The point OP made was that speech patterns can influence thoughts/ideas. The point wasn’t that their kids don’t have any biases or don’t have a new set of pejoratives they use. It …

But what does this have to do with the point made in OP’s comment? They gave an instance of changed attitudes based off of language usage. They weren’t saying their kids don’t marg…

I don’t understand your point. The person you responded to isn’t generalizing to all people based off of school age kids. They noticed something about attitudes and speech in their…

I’m interested in the reasons for downvoting this comment. What is written is thought out and done in good faith. I don’t like regulation of word usage but it is true that propagan…

Removing pejoratives involving sexual orientation still leaves quite a few left. Are you asking because you think his kids might not have a sufficiently rich vocabulary with which …

Loan servicers are paid a fixed amount per loan they service. The repayment pause has not hurt servicers. https://thecollegeinvestor.com/36556/how-much-do-federal-stu...

Capping material quantity is a fix for overconsumption provided the political system in place is robust enough and has the will to enforce the cap. What I address is solely quantit…

This is a good argument for not allowing people to accumulate so much wealth. There should be a cap to how much a person has.

If it’s not the implementation that is to blame then one should use an argument that consists of more than one example provided by the highly corrupt governing structures common in…
