i sure hope this is still a thing. i started this viddie weeks ago when it was a spicy meme and then my computer box broke. i ordered another from the internet king but he was not able to upgrade my 28.8 kilobaud Internet connection to a 1.5-megabit fiber-optic T1 line. it was most unsatisfactory.

Yeah, that sucks. That had me looking up how old the rest of the cast is, and while I don't think we're likely to lose any of the prominent voice actors in the next five years, it is a thing they'd better be thinking about.

like who is more important to the show's "legacy" or whatever? julie kavner, who is a main cast member but only does a couple of voices, or harry shearer, who does half the show but none of the simpson family?

They might be able to replace some of Harry Shearer's characters, but certainly not all of them. And he's 75, so time is not long to figure this out.

The ambiguity arises because mathematics doesn't specify an explicit preference to multiplication and division operations, and because they used obelus (÷) notation in a deliberate attempt to make it unclear which portions of the equation are in the numerator and denominator. Added to this is that different areas of the world use conflicting acronyms to teach order of operations, so that people on the 'gram can have lots of boring arguments about which is 'correct'. So the answer is "probably 1, but maybe 16; either way you should get better at writing equations."

In conclusion, RDRR is a land of contrasts.

An actual mathematician says you're wrong:

No he doesn't:

A bit earlier:

quote:

When confronted with 8 ÷ 2(2+2), everyone on Twitter agreed that the 2+2 in parentheses should be evaluated first. That’s what our teachers told us: Deal with whatever is in parentheses first. Of course, 2+2 = 4. So the question boils down to 8÷2×4.

And there’s the rub. Now that we’re faced with a division and a multiplication, which one takes priority? If we carry out the division first, we get 4×4 = 16; if we carry out the multiplication first, we get 8÷8 = 1.

Which way is correct? The standard convention holds that multiplication and division have equal priority. To break the tie, we work from left to right. So the division goes first, followed by the multiplication. Thus, the right answer is 16.

I mean yes, it's a convention and arbitrary, but it's not something where there are two different conventions.

I can't remember the name of the comic, but there's a French superhero whose powers involve moving between comic panels like that. It's a pretty long running strip.

The one where Homer takes Bart to the strip club might not be the funniest episode, but I think that'd be my first choice if I were trying to explain to somebody why classic Simpsons was the best television show.
