Again assuming the problem is the same for you and me, "plate + apple" selects every apple immediately following a plate.
There's no dot because that would make the following term a class, just like the number sign makes the following term an ID. Instead you use a space to denote that the following term is a descendant.
"parent item.class"
Assuming it gives you the same problem it gave me: "bento orange.small" selects each small orange within a bento-box.
@Absinthe can you clarify the situation with dollars? It's unclear whether (a) the US has large- and small-sized dollars, or (b) there is a single size of dollar that can be put into a large- or small-sized wrapper.
@tedvim individual users actually can effectively silence servers. On the web interface, it's in the three dots at the bottom right of each post (except the ones on your own instance, of course - you cannot block your own server). Click "Hide everything from example.com" and you achieve the desired effect.
What you cannot do is *undo* a silence that the instance admin put on. I wish for a feature that says, "Allow me to interact with users at example.com in spite of the ban. I am an adult with a thick skin. If the users at example.com are mean to me, I promise not to go crying to my admin, because he doesn't want to deal with their crap."
@tedvim yes, it does. So if you want to see the full chain of conversation, it's necessary to get the direct link to the post and open it on the originating website.
@tedvim keep in mind that, while you can follow people at spinster, qoto has an instance silence on them - the effect being that everyone you don't follow is muted. So you can't see the whole reply chain if it includes people from that instance whom you're not following, and they won't appear in the timelines either.
@snow if they're on our server show @freemo - block evasion is something he takes pretty seriously.
Great! Looks good to me :)

What you've written is true in the case where all reference frames are inertial. It is *not* true if the reference frames themselves are allowed to accelerate relative to one another.
Let's take a 75kg man standing in a windowless cube as an observer. He can stand up, and let's say there's a 735N normal force between his feet and the floor. Even with accurate measurements of his mass and this normal force, he still cannot determine his acceleration. Perhaps he is in an otherwise empty universe, and the box is being driven "upward", accelerating at 9.8m/s. Perhaps he is in a uniform gravitational field of 9.8N/kg pulling him "downward", and the box is stationary. Since he can't distinguish between these cases to determine his own acceleration, there is no way he can guarantee that he and an outside observer would agree on its value - it's relative to the observer.
That's begging the question a little bit, as acceleration is absolute only because we restrict ourselves to inertial (i.e. lacking acceleration) reference frames. If you allow non-inertial reference frames, acceleration can be relative - Coriolis acceleration, for instance, may be nonzero relative to a rotating reference frame but zero in inertial coordinates.
@freemo right, 538 weight pollsters by quality & adjust for house effects. They do a much more methodologically-sound job than just blindly "importing every poll known to man."
Trump briefly cleared his predecessor's rating once, but he's 4-7 points back now. So, given that you made the claim today, I wondered if you're maybe looking at a single pollster - Rasmussen, for example - with a big Republican house effect.
Edit: I see you mean Gallup. Still gonna go with the aggregate myself, to increase effective sample size, but I appreciate you providing the extra detail.
@freemo this isn't the first time you've claimed Trump has a higher approval rating than Obama did. I wonder if you are looking at a certain pollster who makes this claim, because the aggregate/average doesn't really support it:
I'm unclear on the animation aspect - do you need a cartoonist to provide animated images, or one to provide static images which you will move around via JS?
Any further info you can provide about how many images, how quickly they have to be produced, etc. would help me see if it's something I could reasonably expect to succeed at.
@snow Yes, the report contains the identity of the user who filed it.
@greylaw89 Signal used to use that. As I recall it was, even then, disabled in Iran because Google had a particular interpretation of the export control laws that considered it a sensitive encryption scheme.
@realcaseyrollins what is "spiritual warfare" in a non-charismatic context? I believe that's the only context in which I've heard the phrase.
Some animals can see polarisation of light, but I don't think phase is a meaningful property in this context. If I just draw a sine wave on a piece of grid paper, its phase is undefined until I add axes showing where the y=0 crossing is in relation to the x=0 crossing.
Further, we very rarely see pure monochromatic light; we are mostly exposed to unsaturated tones composed of anywhere from several to infinitely many frequencies at varying intensities. We can't even tell what frequencies a white light comprises without special instruments (this is why we can substitute LED or CFL lighting for incandescent, despite having a very different spectra).
@freemo what are these percentages of? Number of licences written, projects using each, sloc governed by each…?
@mngrif that takes me back. In fact, that might've been the first open-source software I put onto a device. And now Linux has been my daily driver for a decade, I've had Cyanogen/Lineage on my phone for the past five years, OpenWRT on my router for about the same... but it all started with RockBox on a little Sansa.
It's a gateway drug, parents.
