Anyone else had their youtube suggested videos suddenly change, like... a lot? In the last day or so.

Word for forming beginning with W?

Word for forming beginning with W?

Working\worked, as in to work with a material?

I actually have. It is very aggressively recommending music to me lately.

Waxing or widening.

[Kagus]

Also wrought, depending on your desired definition of "forming"

More or less the same, yeah. Was that the music suggestions were fairly uncommon, but whenever I made that post it had suddenly shifted to almost wall to wall music-y things with a smattering of random junk I hadn't been seeing and have zero interest in, instead of the usual melange of what I normally watch (smaller/indie gaming stuff, mostly).

[MrRoboto75]

tbh I use youtube to listen to like 90% of my music so I can neither confirm nor deny there's more music recommends.

The order doesn't matter as long as you understand what the symbols are doing to the numbers. Otherwise it's better to do them left to right.

5-2+3: you don't do 2+3 to get 5, making it 5-5. It's actually 5 + (-2) + 3. Once you have it like this, the order doesn't matter because it's all addition.

Same goes for multiplication and division. 5/2*3 is actually 5 * (1/2) * 3, not 5 / (2*3)

Well, if you convert it to all addition and multiplication left-to-right order doesn't matter, but looking at it linguistically "5/2*3" parses having the result of / being an argument to *.

It practical settings where you're computing the result of an expression (computer programming) you would expect most binary operators to have both precedence and left/right associativity. Simple arithmetic operators are generally assumed to be left-associative (evaluated left-to-right when of equal precedence) but other binary operators are typically defined as right-associative. A non-programming example is function composition, e.g. h ∘ g ∘ f is right-associative and evaluated right-to-left.

For composition left-to-right order doesn't matter, because it is associative. (h o g) o f = h o (g o f).

Any educated guesses as to wether adding 10-25% ethanol should increase the shelf life of propylenglycol? Elaborate your reasoning please, I can't find anything on it.

[bloop_bleep]

Apparently propylene glycol degrades mainly by oxidation, so adding alcohol as a competitor for oxidation seems like it could well help.

[dragdeler]

Interesting perspective! When alcohol oxidates, does it become water? Or will it just be "rustier" alcohol  ? I'm pretty sure I heard once that pure ethanol will allways turn like 98% as soon as it touches air.

I think it will go to ethanal or vinegar. The same thing happens in organisms.

I read that very wrong at first.

I'm going to point out that I'm genuinely asking here, not doing the "I'm just asking questions bro" thing that so many XYZ-phobes do, just so people are aware I'm asking in good faith.

Why is demisexuality considered a sexuality akin to the whole LGBTQ+ grouping? It honestly comes across to me less like a sexuality and more like a preference, or just a sort of way your sexuality works as opposed to a sexuality in and as of itself.

[Frumple]

I mean, if aro/ace stuff fits (and it's certainly lumped in with the rest of the non-cis pile) then something adjacent to it should to, yeah? It's only a small step from one or the other of those. Near as I can tell from a quick reminder it's pretty distinct from the common cis-het sexuality patterns, so... into the pile it goes.
