I would agree with this.

Also, for the record, your username is the highlight of my day. Tell me, which ones are lies and which ones are true?

To be fair, every platform is an echo chamber. The only differences are to what degree.

Ohhhhh! I think I get it now!

So == means “equals” and is a declaration of the state of things, while = means "assigned the value of` and is a command toward a certain state of things. A description vs an action. An observation of a thing as opposed to effecting that thing.

Is that about right?

I think what I’m most confused about is I cannot for the life of me seem to wrap my head around the difference between “assignment” and “equality”. They seem exactly the same to me: when a variable is assigned a value, it’s equal to that value now.

Even if I were write the program

x = 20
print(x*2)

it would still print 40. Because x is equal to 20. Because it was assigned the value of 20.

Hell, I’ve even heard Dr. Severance say “equal to” in this context in earlier videos multiple times.

Because I live in America and there’s pretty much no public transportation.

Trust me, if I had a train, I’d fucking use that sucker. Travel into town for my weekly errands AND I don’t have to deal with people not using cruise control on a highway? SIGN ME THE FUCK. UP.

Dude, where’s your shirt?

Where’s your shirt, dude?

I don’t think that’s an answer that really exists in any meaningful sense since temperature is a macroscopic phenomenon. When you get down to the scale of the microscopic, i.e. of molecules, then atoms, then particles, you really only have amounts of kinetic energy of said particles, typically measured in the unit electronvolt, or eV.

When said particles interact, they impart kinetic energy to one another, which directly constitutes the thermodynamic fluctuations we see in macroscopic systems.

Put simply, microscopic energy levels create macroscopic temperature readings.

In other words, “temperature” is just a macroscopic reading of collective microscopic energy levels.

tl;dr: Molecules don’t have temperature; they have energy.

Where’s your shirt, dude?

There’s a cross in the top of his helmet.

…His head’s gonna get wet.

Somebody seriously needs to animate a head of Super Saiyan hair atop that little one. Haha.

Ohhhhhhhhh

Thanks.

I still don’t know.

Ah, yes, but what about a lying killer who also talks with their mouth full?

Truly diabolical.

DUDE, GIVE CREDIT

You shouldn’t have to rely on commenters to provide sources for your post.

Edit: Just noticed that bdonvr@thelemmy.club provided a source before me. Props to them. 👍

baby power

No one can stand up to the power of babies. They shall sow chaos amongst us with their crying!

That is such a 90s couch. :o

Thanks! Haha, I get it now.

Yeah, but at least where I live, using “and so” or “thus” is less common than “and also” so weirdly enough their comment helped me get it. Lol.

How do you prevent overflow with line breaks without having to use   every single time, though? With a visible separator, there’d be no need for that.
