I mean, congrats and everything, but 'monumental'?
Umm hello, I ate every single Oreo left in the box last night, clearly that was a monumental achievement, no?

Would you make cheap jokes about cancer?
I mean...are they funny jokes? Sometimes, when confronting something as devastating and implacable as cancer (or schizophrenia) - comedy can be pretty damn useful.
Agreed. But before making the joke about mental illness, think of whether you would make the same joke about cancer.
And don't make the joke if you are not coming from a place of love and support. (See original post).

Would you make cheap jokes about cancer? If not, then maybe think twice about mental illness.

Arithmetic can be proven via set theory (going back to early 20th century) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
This is not convenient if you actually want to get something done - but that's a computer problem, not a maths problem.

transit process that moves at a “parade pace” of 5-10 miles per hour
I would consider 5 miles/hour to be a fast walking pace.
10 miles/hour is a decent running pace. (You would be doing around an 18 minute 5K race - which in my book is pretty pacey).
I would like to see a marching band at 10 mph.

Art class has the students painting tasteful nudes for a reason. That reason is actually seeing what human anatomy looks like.
The vast majority of images I see on the internet which have human content in them don't have nudity in them. They also don't have 3 legs or the head the wrong way up.

Hasn't China heard of the "copy" command? OK, so two lines of code, since they have to do a search/replace for the server info too.
They need to remove all the code which scans your phone and reports people for non-aligned opinions.
There is obviously quite a lot of that.
