1209 is 3 times 13 times 31, and cats are better at typing than they are at math.

In base 10, the sum of the digits of any number that is divisible by 3 is also divisible by 3, so 1+2+0+9=12, implies 1209 is divisible by 3.

Likewise, 1001 is divisible by 13, so if you split a number in base 10 every 3 digits, and subtract/add alternating sets of numbers, if the result is divisible by 13, the original number is, too. 209-1 is 208, which is obviously divisible by 13, so 1209 is, too.

Divisibility by 31 in base 10 is harder to check, but 999998 is divisible by 31, as is 999999999999999, so you can just split the number every 15 digits, and add those together, and if the sum is divisible by 31… I’m talking about math to a cat.

I had to read Shakespeare, then read another book about how witty and clever it was to the people of the time, then write a report about how witty and clever it was, once I understood the historical context. My conclusion that having to explain jokes is the death of humor got me a C-.

An r320 is new enough that iDrac Express (two IPs on one interface) is available in the BIOS. The server needs a license for some features (like remotely attaching an ISO, and remote KVM), but not for the basics like controlling the power.

In absolutely unrelated news, when I was 4, my mom helped me make cookies. They came out great.

Playing basketball is a social construct. No two people play basketball exactly the same, and many people don’t even play by the exact socially accepted rules. Despite all these things, we can still use imprecise, incomplete words to usefully communicate groups of shared behaviors and preferences, and even offer nuance about those sets of behaviors and preferences, when the situation calls for it.

The I²C bus on pins 12 and 15 is definitely a serial interface, and arguably each color is serial, even if they’re not… the traditional sort.

It is quite amusing how many less ambiguous serial connectors they could have trivially chosen. PCI-E, ethernet (8P8C), SATA, SAS, HDMI, FireWire… the options are numerous.

Especially at the national level, most politicians hire staffers they trust to implement their policies in accordance with their principals, and harshly punish those that won’t. The closest advisors tend to be either referred from their state party, or people that have risen through the ranks with them, so they’re often decades old relationships, or at least people that have been in the same circles for years.

The day to day does involve a lot of reading, meeting with lobbyists for specific issues (this includes a lot of non-money players, fwiw), and only rarely in depth policy discussion with advisors/other policy makers. They have to trust their staffers to highlight things they should hammer home/object to in legislation, and, because sometimes bills arrive in Congress already too complicated, they’re sometimes unable to actually read the whole thing before voting (even in a “you take 200 pages, you take 200 pages…” sense), so they’re essentially trusting that other people have reviewed it well enough.

It’s a job with long hours, but a lot of that is essentially socializing, so not “hard” in the same sense as digging holes or whatnot is hard.

Which arrow? Nothing is in a red circle, so I can’t tell what this image is about.

The roll to hit is a single die, so if the attacker could hit or miss on a regular (1-19) roll, the best outcome is to block the lowest number, AC+6. The extra number gives no benefit against an attacker that couldn’t roll that number on a (modified) ordinary roll, and gives a 5% miss chance against an attacker that could.

If the attacker has such a high chance to hit that they can roll AC+15 on a regular die, but cannot roll AC+6, you’re in trouble - they’ll basically never miss.

If you do only multiplication first, then 2×3÷3×2 = 6÷6 = 1.

If you do mixed division and multiplication left to right, then 2×3÷3×2 = 6÷3×2 = 2×2 = 4.

Edit: changed whitespace for clarity

I once had a dream where I played a game like warcraft 2, but with mythical animals. Basically age of mythology, with better controls, and a darker aesthetic. I still wish that existed, so I could play it.

Card number: 3141 5926 5358 9791 Expiry date: 11/25 Cvv: 238

You’ll notice that unlike many broke guys here, my card is not expired already, the luhn checksum is correct, and the issuer identification number… will probably exist in the future.
