For us slow kids in the back what does this mean, “[…] such that the nine 9-digit numbers formed by the rows of the grid has the highest-possible GCD over any such grid”?

> What's wrong with Stack Exchange?

Every time I have posted a question on SE it is either flagged as already answered (when it's not) or people screaming "XY Problem!"

My approach to SE now is "Look, Don't Touch".

> You should fight for some more rights, sometime <3

I wish we could fight for more rights. We are too spread out for protests to work. The politicians do everything they can to separate themselves from their electorate. And the average person doesn't have enough money to weather a week of no paychecks. Meanwhile half the populace gets angry at the thought of helping out anyone beneath them as they don't want them to get ahead.

The worst is that you have a very vocal minority trying to constantly burn down the house so that they can be king of the burn pit.

For my account, it restored to the actual original content, not the overwritten.

I can also confirm. I nuked an alt account last year using an app that replaces the content with [deleted] before deleting the post. I'd say at least about 40% of those posts have been restored to full text.

It very much depends on the company and the bosses. I've seen visa status used to keep wages low and to lock people into shitty jobs and positions. These companies also use visa holders as a tool to keep citizen wages down.

In both cases they will remind you of how easy it is to get someone else in who can do your job.

Apple and other mega corps really need to spend some money investing in training/education for these highly specific fields. Advancement in Siri shouldn't be dependent on 3 people that were lost to Google.

I know a bunch of capable programmers that would love the chance to go into one of these specialties but don't have the resources nor opportunities (time/money/location) to go back to school.

Siri could be so much better.

The worst part of even trying to have a discussion about men's health and issues today is how often it devolves into arguments about male status in society.

If we had more empathy for one another it would be easier to solve the problem instead of arguing about who suffers most.

We all suffer, we should help each other suffer less.

Unfortunately it takes that kind of language to get some people to even notice men face issues.

The constant bombardment of "Men's advantages" by many groups has had the effect that empathy for men's issues non-existent unless it intersects with problems that matter to them.

I've moved 4 times in my adult life. The two biggest issues I've had with making friends is the lack of a gathering place for like minded people, and being accepted by existing cliques.

If you don't drink, go to church, or have kids, it is damned hard to find a place to hang out and meet other 30-40 year olds.

These seemed like a humble brag by upper class jet-setters who get to crow about the "commute" and sacrifices they are making while patting themselves on the back for saving a buck.

I need to see more examples, as it stands the example photos look soulless. It's the eyes, they don't seem to be focused on a particular target like the camera. And a few seem like each eye isn't looking at the same spot.

Get all the sleep you can now.

Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Learn to accept you are not perfect and will screw up. At some point, when your child is older they will have some anger directed toward you for something you did (or didn't do). Likely something small and seemingly insignificant. This is normal.

Listen to your children, ask questions, be interested in what they are saying.

I'll warn you that Plex will do everything possible to get you to add an account. One update (several years back) locked me out of making any changes to my server until I created an account.
