6÷2(3)and 6÷2*3 are, in fact

And yet, here is an example where the Distributive Property is useful in an expression, because it helps to eliminate existing parentheses.

I also am not a comics person, but what a small bit of googling taught me is that the comics aren’t settled on sentience or partial sentience in Mjolnir. In fact, I think some comics explored the differences in conceptualization of Mjolnir by different people who wielded it, specifically Thor and Jane.

I’m just disappointed that the scene in Endgame wasn’t Mjolnir deciding on its own to attract itself to Cap’s hand, as a declarative statement that Mjolnir had finally judged Cap to be worthy.

But 6÷2(1+2) resolves to 6÷2(3), which, while similar to 6÷2*3, is NOT that. It’s still 6÷2(3), meaning you need to eliminate the remaining parentheses, but which cannot be dropped because there is a value immediately adjacent to them.

You’re ignoring the fact that the 2 can also be distributed to the values inside the parentheses, meaning it also renders as 6/(2 + 4).

The professor at Berkeley literally says there’s no resolution, that both ways of calculation the expression are equally as likely because the single line notation is too ambiguous.

I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt on mascarpone, because the rest of your choices are just so goddamned inspired!

FTFY

It’s definitely more likely that he’s only a friend of the grays.

I genuinely thought this was going to be an entry in What Car Should You Buy and am a little disappointed now.

Although this comment of yours is funny on its own, I’m fairly sure BarackaObama was being facetious...

I’m literally a scientist who has conducted environmental research. Look through my comment history to see me talking about it.

You do realise your logic works both ways? That farms further away are no more deserving of privilege than local ones?

If you cannot figure out the base empathy people have for neighborhoods. Or the primary concerns they have with the ecconomy they actually live in you might be relatively hopeless.

Right, because I shortened your terminology, you now believe I meant literal factories for farming?

It isn’t in your vested interest to keep employment high in other communities? It is in mine.

I don’t buy local because I think white produced vegetablesare better.

And yet, fishermen and farmers in thousands of communities around the globe are also going broke. What specifically means the ones who live near you or near me are more deserving of business? I’d much rather focus on ecological and environmental efficiency/health.

Oh look, more people falling back on anti-scientific protestations, when already having been called out.
