Oof, I thought it was only constipated mathematicians that had to work it out with a pencil.

This works for both positive and negative numbers:

private static bool isEven(int number)
{
	bool result = true;

	while (number < 0)
	{
		number = number - 1;
		if (result == true)
			result = false;
		else
			result = true;
	}
	while (number > 0)
	{
		number = number - 1;
		if (result == true)
			result = false;
		else
			result = true;
	}
	return result;
}

Output:

isEven(4) = True
isEven(5) = False
isEven(-4) = True
isEven(-5) = False

They do work. It takes some practice to get them though. At first I used a pencil or something to focus on while I made the two dots merge together, stayed focussed on the pencil until my brain “saw” the image behind it, then it sort of locked in and I could take the pencil away. I’ve done so many of them now that I can just go crosseyed to bring the dots together, then look at the middle picture.

The 3D image works by tricking your brain into seeing a third image that isn’t really there. We’re used to constructing 3D images from two slightly different views; we do it all the time, so the two images are slightly different and when overlaid use the same mechanism to make you think it’s 3D.

Yes, but then where would we be without all those endless squabbles about X which are easily solved by pointing out that A::X != B::X?

He’d just grab it by the cloaca.

If you use too many parentheses you might have a lisp.

An IP address is a 32-bit number, usually expressed as four 8-bit numbers separated by dots. Converting 33333333 to hex we get 01FCA055; splitting that into pairs and converting back to decimal gives 1, 252, 160, 85.

Taggart sounds more like maggot than fan-art. Two example pronunciations here, the first closer to the latter but I think the second sounds closer to maggot: https://youtu.be/pb0CEn5YiIQ?t=94

Seems like an American thing to pronounce it “tag-arrrr-t”.

Not too hard to find. I DDG’d “current support for trump” and found in the first page:

I think it’s the one that rhymes with Taggart. And is another word for a bassoon.

He’ll soon be struck off.

On the contrary. A post with (currently) 45 upvotes states exactly “Thinking of putting up Palestine stuff in my windows just to dare them to come get me.”

Notably, it doesn’t say what you claim it says. You need to learn to read English.

Oh, OK. Please explain to me what it really says.

On the contrary. A post with (currently) 45 upvotes states exactly “Thinking of putting up Palestine stuff in my windows just to dare them to come get me.”

This is exactly what I mean. Putting up Palestine stuff is just fine, perfectly legal, and you cannot be arrested for it.

If she really wants to be daring she should put up Palestine Action stuff in her windows.

PA probably aren’t terrorists, just protesters who took it a bit too far, but the facts are: they broke into an airbase and damaged RAF jets by pouring paint into their engines. This will take those jets out of commission until the damage has been assessed; maybe the paint will just wash or burn off, but maybe they’ll need to be replaced, which is a cost that could run into millions because jet engines aren’t exactly cheap. So a case could be made that they are also terrorists, but it’s a bit of a stretch.

“rooting out opposition to the genocide” No, we’re not doing that. There’s plenty of opposition and it’s fine; we live in a democracy and people are free to support whoever they want to support (in this case: as long as it’s the Palestinians in general, not Hamas).

Someone should post this in ADHD Memes with the text “I’ve got ADHD and these organs therefore having ADHD is a pre-requisite to having these organs” and see if anyone notices.

Because they broke into an airbase and damaged some RAF planes. That was the problem, not protesting about the war in Gaza, which is still legal.

I think that’s about the polar opposite of where we’re going with this.

Am I the only one that’s disappointed the glass top is supported by their elbows?

That’s just bad teaching. If you’re not allowed to use negatives then the teacher shouldn’t be asking questions where negatives are the answer. 20-25 is NOT equal to zero whether you’ve learnt negatives or not.
