I have no idea what it is. I downloaded it the other day when trying to find a funny reply to something about playing trumpet with the ass. It didn’t quite fit there, so I am happy that you asked for it.
Yes. However the upper management doesn’t care about that. They look at some figures and then go on to make up whatever savings they want the middle managers to do without regard to whether those idea will improve the figures. It’s a shot in the dark.
Now…if you’re in a civilised country where union agreements are well in place , it’s possible to require a coalition group, where middle management and employee representatives sit down to have a dialogue of what is best practice. More often than not this leads to improved figures, so the upper management don’t ever need to dig into the details but can spend time doing their actual job of making long term strategies.
Yes, that way it pays off for employers to have union agreements. They just don’t see it before they do it.
I’m procrastinating a bit here so you can skip the rest of the post - unless you’re bored too.
It’s only when you have to actually draw something that you need to plot in an approximation of π with however many decimals are necessary, and only then depending on the accuracy of your tools.
In a lot of math it pays off to save it for later and eliminate it from the equation on both sides or at least only do it once.
And even then it’s futile. In most construction cases, it’s probably better to construct the π physically using a compass, even if it means constructing a compass first.
Let’s step back. For straight lines, people say “measure twice, cut once”, but in reality you also hardly ever need to measure anything in any kind of unit at all. For instance, if you need two boards of equal length, you don’t need to make a measurement at all. Just put them on top of each other and saw both pieces at once. They’ll be more identical than any attempt to measure and cut both pieces individually. Or if you want all your terrace boards to end neatly, don’t even measure them. Just place them all and cut one straight line through the excess at the end. Copying a length of undetermined length is as easy as to place stuff next to each other and cut. “The length of some board” is just as good of a unit as anything else right?
The same kind of ideas also exist for trigonometry, but this might take a little more abstract thinking. Let us make an angle. Instead of measuring or calculating, you just place two sides of your folding ruler against the object and you can copy that exact angle. This can obviously be turned around and create the opposite angle and those kind of tricks.
So let’s say we don’t know the angle or have anything to copy from at all. Pythagoras is easy to construct. It’s as simple as putting stuff up with a 3/4/5 and there’s the right 90° angle. Using a compass we can also easily construct 60° or multiples or fractions of it. We do not ever need a specific angle that isn’t already a factor in or of 60 or 90. Want the gutters to drain? One end goes above the other. As easy as that. Want two sides to meet? Just lay down a straight line between the two.
Take a look at this which appears to be a mathematical work of wonder. I am willing to bet that they didn’t calculate a god damn thing with any amount of digits. It’s all made by using a (large) compass or “rig” as it is called when you attach two pieces of wood to make a compass.
Anyway. I don’t mean to put down to your skill of memorisation. I admire it, and I can’t do that.
If you have any interest in applied trigonometry, I can highly recommend the app: euclidea (android). I honestly think I learned more from playing this game than from any math class I ever took.
It’s close enough that you won’t find any difference when using it in any practical sense. However… How do you construct 355/113 practically?
No, if you want to do anything with a circle practically, you use the radius or diameter. That’s how it’s constructed.
In the rare case you’d like to know what the circumference or area of a circle is, your won’t find the fence or paint in those specific sizes anyway, so the rounding is not by decimals, but by arbitrary lengths of fence or buckets of paint.

To be fair, some of the institutional investors are part of the 20% who demands answers from Shell, perhaps because their own investors require them to make more environmental friendly investments.
It’s a double edged sword. They need to have stocks to have a say. Arguing from outside only gets people booted off the premises.
I still have my doubts if the tactic of changing Shell and others from the inside works in any meaningful manner. My pension company say that they’re using their investments to influence the companies, but it won’t change anything unless they can form a majority on the boards. 20% is impressive but apparently not enough to sway the cold dinosaurs.
Personally I have chosen for my pension funds not to be invested in fossil fuels at all. It may bring a smaller return right now, but even strictly financially considered, I really don’t want my money tied to fossil fuels in light of the quantity of electric cars being sold. Those customers simply aren’t coming back to the gas station. Fossil fuels are no longer a safe investment long term. They’ll be fighting to stay relevant for a long time, but it’s only going to get more difficult for them as time goes by.
Unfortunately and realistically, when you go searching the internet for ideas and inspiration for tiny homed, you’ll mostly find people who just want to avoid property taxes and building codes to go live in a trailer park.
Hej alle, jeg søger gamle industriområder/bygninger via street view, hvis I er bekendt med nogle må I gerne skrive en kommentar. Tak! Et par eksempler: NakskovÅrhus havnVarde
Der ligger en nedlagt fabrik på Høiriisgårdsvej i Brabrand, hvis du alligevel er på de kanter. De er begyndt at bygge der i år. Det ligner mere en byggeplads og der er kun betonelementerne tilbage, som vist nok skal bruges på sigt.
Kender det… Klochhuset i Hobro har også været forfaldet i mange år, og en lille men højlydt andel af nærmeste naboer er meget imod højt byggeri. De tabte så i sidste ende, men det har taget langt tid, og lorten er ikke blevet kønnere i mellemtiden.
Da jeg var dreng i 1980erne og mine forældre var hippier uden råd til bil, så gik vi hver dag ind til byen via de forladte industrigrunde fra 1950-1970 mellem forstaden og byen.
Det var ikke noget jeg ville ønske at mine børn skulle færdes i i dag med asbest osv. men æstetikken og modsætningen mellem de gamle forladte fabrikker og vores højteknologiske samfund (altså farve tv, Commodore 64, VHS og compact discs.) er noget som på forunderlig vis er nostalgisk.
Forfald er et smukt udtryk for at andre må tage over når vi ikke længere selv kan.
Der er ikke så meget af det tilbage. Det sidste “slum” blev fjernet i 1990erne med “byfornyelse”, men jeg kan da allerede nu se at det samme vil ske igen, bare lidt længere fra centrum.
Ja netop. Selvfølgelig er det bekymrende at der er en stigning blandt unge… og det er ikke for at lave “what-about-isme”, men det er åbenbart fuldstændigt normalt, hvis man skulle tro artiklen, at stigningen blandt de ældre er ti gange mere i forhold til den “bekymrende” udvikling hos de unge.
Når jeg læser kilden, så står det også i resumeet af statistikken, og den ordlyd har journalisten gået med, men det altså kun en betragtning af et statistisk underpunkt. Nogen har klikket på “udvid pivot tabel” og overskriften består af det punkt fremfor at se på det hele.
Det her interessere mig lidt, fordi jeg frygter en fremtid hvor vi får “working poor” i blandt de 50-70 årige. Hvor den gruppe tidligere har været meget højt lønnede, endda urimeligt højt, , så er de nu først i rækken til at blive fyret ved næste automatisering. Og hvad skal de så?
Jo, det har vi løst i Danmark. Man skal åbenbart melde sig syg indtil pensionen tikker ind, og så i øvrigt beskylde de unge for ikke at lave nok.
I doubt any game logic is going to be that fast ever. It might look better, but it won’t make much difference in how players or even the game itself can react to events in the game. Perhaps it’ll make VR more comfortable or something.
Let’s entertain the idea that an unknown staffer accidentally missed the word… Why was the word even there in the first place?? It really shouldn’t be necessary to check your drafts or templates for accidental nazi references.
Sure that would be a solution too. An airship would have an advantage in not using energy to stay up, so it could theoretically fly very long distances with heavy weight, where drones would need constant energy depending on both the weight and distance.
I’m not saying it is a good idea in practice, but theoretically it might make sense.
