“A slap in the face” is a common expression. It even has its own dictionary entry. To me, slap on the face would mean that it is very light, where slap in the face implies some force.

There needs to be universal justice here! There's a huge difference when you're in someone's face or on someone's face! 😂

Where did you get this nonsense? Animals peeing on things does not allow them to communicate. It allows them to mark territory. When they pee on a bush, they are leaving the scent of their urine (which is pungent) to let any other animals know that they are there, this is their area, go away. They are not saying, "Up Clarence, meet me at 7".

We haven't lost that ability, we just don't use it because we have other ways to mark territory. But if you were walking in the woods and came along a seemingly abandoned cabin and walked in and smelled urine, you would immediately know that that cabin was already being lived in.

yeah, there's plenty logic in your argument, there are many different so-called 'measures' to quantify sets of numbers, example the 'distance measure' (i think) of an interval [a, b] is just denoted by b - a.

This is makes the sets have different measure (and more useful ones than just "infinite"), even though they have the same number of numbers.

the measure we would have used before is called the 'counting measure', telling us we'd have to count to infinity for both sets, but that doesn't mean they have the same number of elements (see cantor's second diagonal argument, or yours with the 15), so it has to be shown using a so-called 'bijective function' (our correspondence function), which thank god is pretty easy to construct for any two intervals.

But anyway, good thinking and yep you are right about the example set including [1, 3] and 15, for the counting measure.

Go into an alley behind a bar, get down on your hands and knees, put your nose to the ground, and start sniffing. I guarantee you will very quickly realize that you are not the first person to claim that territory.

LOTR was, for me, a big exception to this. I read the books well before the films came out. Tolkien was so rich with his descriptions that while things were not the same as in my head they were, like, close enough.

Define "technically an entry level position"?

Either way they shouldn't be putting experience as a requirement on a grad role

Yeah, and going against that development takes… willpower.

One goes directly into something and the other moves onwards after impact.
