...Listen. The queen tells me her mom grew up in a baggage carousel and HER mother lived on a private jet. They are already on board your planes I think.

Is this a suggestion I give away my older devices more effectively so even fewer people need to buy new ones? Because that's the only correct way this could be called "hoarding"
I can think of a hoarding that's hurting a lot of people too.

@weirdestateOr maybe they are just very religious?

This door stop isn't very goodI think you misspelled "is very amazing"

...... these are my emotional support ants ...

@weirdestateListen. Someone knew who they were and what they liked.
The TV kind of kills me... mirrors AND a TV? My man...

Today I:It's nice! Knowing there is dirt causes creeping anxiety even if you don't see it...
The stove was really bothering me since I thought that maybe the tile was being harmed and slowly ruined, turned out it was in great shape and I just needed to glue one back down.
I hope I can get the major improvements done by spring if I do a little each week.

Today I:Today I:
* cleaned under the stove
* repaired a lose tile
* cleaned the paper lanterns with vacuum. (This was very enjoyable!)
* updated the bathroom lightsI am exhausted.

Is there a name for when someone thinks they are really bad at something (for example math) and they have learned not to trust their own intuition at all so they make really wild errors by second guessing themselves?@Bumblefish @3TomatoesShort @EverydayMoggie

I think some of the descriptions were fine. Those that mention it's not to scale. Maybe it's an example of when having the description is superior to seeing the image visually.

OK here is the trick question in the replies I show how to answer it with a compass.

Attached: 1 image @jetlagjen@gts.phillipsuk.org @futurebird@sauropods.win A, B, C for vertices, α, β, γ for angles? But what would I know? It's all Greek to me! 😉 Someone posted a link to this a while back; interesting in the context of the presentation discussion: [#AltTextForMe - help!] I thought it was obvious, but I'd seen in a Primary Maths Challenge (aimed at 9/10, 10/11 year old UK kids) … How many different isosceles triangles with whole number sides can you make from a loop of string 21 units long? https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/feb/17/can-you-solve-it-the-simple-geometry-question-that-fools-almost-everyone :

The reasoning you did to make this conclusion:
That’s a moray (@Bumblefish@mastodon.scot)
@futurebird@sauropods.win @3TomatoesShort@disabled.social @EverydayMoggie@sfba.social The opposite one will always be the same size.

... means you can understand geometry and congruent triangles.
To know those "slices" are equivalent is "Side Angle Side"
I think you just need to learn to like the compass better as a way to deal with lengths. It can be very powerful I'll show you an example. Someone posted a nasty trick question on this thread. Thinking about it with a compass makes the trick vanish.

The genus name for American harvester ants, Pogonomyrmex, means "bearded ant", and it refers to a basket of hairs on the underside of the head that helps these desert ants carry dry sand.The basket is called a psammophore and if that isn't a five dollar word I don't know one.

(Nor do I think you have anything to apologize for. )
It's fine to prefer a certain notation ... but the notation isn't really what it's about. I'm just suggesting that as a thread to pull to get past what isn't as important here.
I'm very particular about notation because I know it can be confusing as I explain here:
myrmepropagandist (@futurebird@sauropods.win)
@jetlagjen@gts.phillipsuk.org We use the numbers consistently because I find using three letters is more confusing for most students. eg ∠ABC = ∠BCA vs. ∠3 = ∠2 Which do you find less confusing? We could also do ∠B = ∠C but naming angles by single letter is a bad habit since there can be multiple angles at a vertex.
