Minor simplification: this works even without taking absolute value first of you use fix instead of floor.

Edit: I don’t know if fix is in the stock math library on second thought…

Blame it on the brain worm

Paywall. Can we get the cliff notes?

I’m in

I guess props to Dad for handling the situation in a way that leaves legal alternatives?

If someone is trying to take my wife and kids from me, some real, no kidding heinous shit is about to go down. We are not separating.

Heres a hot take: you didn’t have to be that smart to be any kind of medical doctor. Good at memorizing? Hell yes. Persistent? You bet. Good at associations and drawing on things you’ve seen before? Absolutely. Good at reading between the lines and really solving the tough cases? Sometimes. Magic hands? Definitely if you’d like the big big money.

At the end of the day most doctors are walking on ground someone else already traveled, and of course there are some greats who expand the field, but that’s not everybody. If youve got the tenacity to do any medical degree, kick butt. We need you and you earn your take with pride. You don’t need to win a nobel prize to be valuable.

It is, however, NOT a job you get for being a great thinker. It’s a lot of college and a lot of residency and a lot of shoveling crap. A lot of thinking? Not compared to other education tracks or professions. You can absolutely be a medical doctor and be an idiot.

This has been a soapbox rant about professional doctorates.

Definitely love is blind or any other shitty nick lachey reality dating show. You didn’t have to pay attention, and practically everyone is trashy or nuts. It’s great.

Wangs. Wangs everywhere

Agreed, but let’s be clear about what “evenly” means.

If you have two children and one goes to college and the other doesn’t, the one who doesn’t go is getting shorted money unless you make an alternate arrangement with them.

If your children are adults and one lives on your couch and one has their own house and job, if something happens to you, splitting the inheritance down the middle is not fair: you paid room and board for one and not the other. Itemize that shit and it comes out of your roommate’s end.

Starting at adulthood, equal is equal; it isn’t “equitable”. I’m not arguing that you gotta take Tommy’s braces out of his inheritance, but you gotta take out the car you buy him to get around as an adult, bail money, the money you have to help with house downpayment, it all counts.

I’m so tired of seeing this ugly bastard.

Cool thanks!

Don’t worry, the people posting those sovcit fever dreams are financially (generally?) illiterate too.

JFC, where did they find ugly trees that tall?!

It’s true, but it doesn’t make me any more sympathetic or less bitter.

People in general are just not that sharp. Sometimes you get exactly what you ask for.

Jumping jacks?

Sounds good. Looking forward to it

To be extra fair… They’ve been BY grandma for grandma.

The grandma vote wants this and is leaning into it.

It’s true. It is delicious.
