    Right? As long as there are no crayons jammed in the disc slot, game on!

    I mean, I would definitely give the kids a talk about not drawing on things that are not meant to be drawn on, but better this than the TV or something.


  • This is kind of a weirdly phrased question.

    Mathematically, THE argument of the sine function is the angle in question. One definition of sine, using the sides of a right triangle, is the ratio of the opposite leg to the hypotenuse of said triangle: sin(theta)=opposite/hypotenuse.

    Edit: it occurred to me that maybe what you’re asking is how to compute the angle, theta, for which sin(theta) = a certain ratio of opposite/hypotenuse. There is an inverse sine function (often called arcsin) that does just that. Arcsin(opp/hyp)=theta. That’s the case where it would make sense to take the side lengths as arguments.

    How is this not believable lol? You act like renting is some kind of degradation and owning is some kind of release from slavery.

    Lots of things about home ownership suck donkey balls, and there are lots of benefits to renting. I’ve done both for significant chunks of my adult life, and while my life situation is currently such that I prefer owning my place, I can absolutely see myself opting to rent under certain circumstances.

    It’s just a really weird passive phrasing that implies it was your home before the landlord bought it.

    It’s more like they bought a house and then you rented it, at which point it becomes your home.

    (Not that the former never happens, I just don’t think the meme was calling out a relatively niche situation.)

    There are so many things to criticize about the housing market that it’s weird to rely on tricks of language rather than factual arguments. Like, “Renting out property that you own, and complaining about the upkeep required to keep it rentable” is much more accurate but not as memeable I guess.
