"Nitrogen oxides are released into the air from motor vehicle exhaust or the burning of coal and fossil fuels, producing tiny soot particles and smog."
NOx does not contain carbon, nor can it create carbon.
He doesn't say that it does. It is atrociously clumsy writing though; he's basically mixed two things together. s/producing/which also produces/ and it makes a lot more sense.
Yes he is. He used the present indicative second person singular of a verb meaning to extract by rinsing or soaking instead of the plural of a noun meaning a parasitic animal which paradoxically has some medical uses.
We had to do graphs by hand - graphing calculators were explicitly banned. Generally they were easy questions. Find the roots & find f(0) - you know where it crosses the axes. Diff=0 for the minima/maxima. Double diff=0 for the inflection points. I forget now how you find the asymptotes. Disembowel a goat, maybe.
I still have the physics/chemistry one, it's got corrections pasted in it because they redetermined the densities of phlogiston & aether.
There was a maths one too. Maybe it's at my mom's place. I'll pop upstairs and look.
While it's nice to have the book the teacher emphasised that if you need to look up Sin^2 + Cos^2 you're penalising yourself timewise, and I agree. Your brain is the fastest cache there is.
"We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere."
It's merely a convention, and a fairly recent one at that. Quite a few PMs have been peers, who are not even allowed to be MPs. The last one was well within living memory.
It goes further than that. Plenty of times my XP laptop would hang after an update, or the networking was disabled. The latter was great since it stopped you downloading the update that fixed the other update unless you had another machine.

I figured as much. It's the only thing that's left.

Nazi Germany & Tsarist Russia. Oh, and Soviet Russia.
P.S. Pol Pot's Cambodia.
Why not? It could hardly be much worse ... could it?

It's sounds like a lot of dosh for something they'll use once, but why don't they sell them on to the next cohort after the exam?
You could plot the price progression on the calculator.

I hope it only did that if you passed the -v option!
You had it lucky. I turned up to an exam one Friday and they said "you can't use that one, it's Tuesday's model."
Thank $deity for my trusty log tables & slide rule! But you tell that to kids today...

Well said. The Groaniad is like totally full of stuff like that.
I suspect it's one of the reasons why Belgians are such cunts.
No way dude the 70's not happend yet. Like, hashtag 2017.
Indeed.
Why are you telling *me* that, you dumbass?
Chaucer was two centuries earlier. His stuff sure doesn't look like Latin to me, but that's not really the point.
From the context I'd guess it's tu-vous. But then I'm not an oik.

When, pray tell, was that?
I suppose technically it qualifies as that.
Let me guess, American?

It's bigger than I thought. I thought it would be like Belgium.
But to put it in context, there's a single cattle ranch in Australia (Anna Creek) that's a quarter of that.

Still, it made me learn about restore points.
Hmmmm. I wrote "niches", not "ditches". If that was an attempt at a joke it was a lame one.
I don't know what you think gives you the right to call me naive. I'm the one arguing against the "there'll be new jobs, there always has been" tribe.
And yes, I have worked out that from the PoV of the 1% the have-nots are only tolerable so long as they're the do-somethings, thank you very much.
