  • It definitely had more games! Was very satisfied when the previews ended where they did, would’ve been amazing to have more but it was already so much,

    Absolutely 10/10 protection, added a fair number of games to my wishlist, and even bought a couple. And It was fun trying to guess what games were before their titles came up.

    Is that deep rock galactic going to be another free content update? At first I thought they were finally integrating what they learned from deep rock galactic survivors (and that would explain why they’ve never thought too long on multiplayer), but that has to be way too much for just a content update, right? Jeez coffee stain continues to knock it out of the park.

    Did you not notice the unit modifier in the my second phrase???

    Let me spell it out for you.

    3 (three) ’ (feet) ^2 (squared)

    You’d have me repeating myself like a monkey, which is, NINE.

    3 (three) sq (square) ft (feet) is THREE.

    but I suspect you’ll disagree at at this point I’ll move on, my only sadness is there was a person out there who agreed with your original argument that they were the same.

    Person behind this account, at this point you’re being deliberately dense.

    Find something better to do with your time

    Those are the exact same thing because they are the exact same thing.

    I understand English is difficult to parse, I hope you’ll get there some day.

    I guess you’re the person who this comic is written with thoughts of

    Maybe when you’re buying real estate or property some day it’ll click for you, in the mean time please ask for help before writing units in scientific papers, or interpreting those papers, and definitely don’t try to spread the results of those papers to others, lest we end up with world consuming insects.

    No need to add the comma if you say it properly, feet squared are not squared feet, quantifier (3) adjective (square) noun (feet) vs quantifier (3) noun (square) affective (feet), it’s the order of operations in the English language, one is quantifying the distance of the edge, while the other is quantifying how many individual edges (squares) of set distance (feet) you have.

    I am not writing it with any discrepancy, though I do get tripped up when talking about it, but generally nobody calls anyone on it, except that’s when expensive projects go boom sometimes.

    Read out loud 3sqft and 3’^2,

    First one: 3 square feet

    Second one: 3 feet (foot? If you’re pedantic) squared (square if you’re a pedant)

    3 square feet are 3 1x1 feet, 1/3rd of a square yard. 3 feet squared is a square yard, 3x larger than 3 sqft.

    Unless I’m missing your sarcasm.

    Also the purpose of this xkcd

    Edit to add, a 600 square foot studio apartment (about 3% of an acre) is much smaller than the 600 foot squared lot that a mcmansion will sit on. (About 9 acres)
