For those wondering, that’s apparently called a masonry stove, specifically a tiled stove. These were pretty common where I’m at and people still sometimes keep them for decorative purposes.

In relational databases (sql) tables are actually table representations of relations, where a relation is defined as any subset of a Cartesian product.

In the first sql example we have a “person” relation, which is a subset of namesXgenders cartesian product. Because of this an element of the person relation (“Jimothy”, null) cannot have “no gender” (as it wouldn’t be a member of the cartesian product namesXgenders).

All of this leads to the following: null in sql doesn’t mean “said element doesn’t have that property”, it means that said property is unknown.

With that in mind, the first example returns expected, if on the surface counterintuitive result: you don’t know what Jimothy 's gender is, so when queried with NOT M NOT F, that row shouldn’t be returned, because you can’t just assume Jinothy’s gender. The query should be, for those cases: not m, not f or unknown (ie is null).

Similarly for the second case. Email is not nonexistent, it’s unknown, so it makes sense that the db allows you to insert more than one person with unknown email addresses.

I wouldn’t say that either of these is an sql wtf, I would just call both of those tables badly designed.

As much as I understand us military, they are required to follow all orders (like any military, really) except orders that are illegal.

So, if Trump ordered an invasion of Greenland, the military should refuse that order, unless that order also comes with an act of congress declaring war on Greenland. However, Nixon bombed Cambodia without a declaration of war, so I don’t know.

If they have any balls left, they’d just release it anyway and have Biden pardon them.

I don’t think they’ll do it, but they should.

What happened with the electricity thing an self driving cars?

I won’t say they’re not making it up, but their screenshot has “AI overview”, yours doesn’t. It is probable that “normal” google gives different results than “AI” Google.

Yes, also, mice are obviously female.

Regarding RCD, where I live they’re allowed to be 30mA for wires that do not include outlets, but if an outlet is connected to the switch, the switch must cut off at 3mA…

Regarding the outlets, the type C is old, I haven’t seen those installed or sold since at least the early nineties (probably even earlier). I don’t understand why it being reversible is bad. I think switches can just cut of both wires, and you’re left with the ability to plug it in any way you like. I don’t really know whether the switches actually do that or not (or, if they’re required to do that). Can this be tested somehow?

I bought it last month on sale. It was on sale, but kind of weird, the game itself wasn’t on sale, nor were the dlcs, but the game with dlcs was on sale (and was cheaper than just the game).

I like the game. Reminds me of ufo-enemy unknown from way back.
