> You cannot take a sick day by telling your team, “I have mental issues and need a day off.”

You can. I started doing this years ago and it has been an overall positive experience. Others on my team told me about their own struggles because I took the initiative to open up about mine.


I recommend thinking back through difficult events from your past which were hard to understand at the time to see if autism could help explain them.


They're doing it for me :O


It was a lot


If you enjoyed that, I can recommend the section in this video about computational photolithography in ASML machines.

Fabulous, thanks. Great to learn how ASML gets around wavelength and numeric aperture limits - just gotta see a different angle on the problem!


This is great. I've been using ChatGPT 3.5 for something similar, but the corrections and grammar explanations in this are much better!


The only time I ever see these group nouns being used is in articles about obscure group nouns.


I am almost sure they were invented so that people can randomly interject a conversation with "Did you know a group of X is called Y".


Exactly. It's interesting only to monolingual people or (needlessly) concerned language-learners.

"Did you know a group of sofas is called a"... just stop it. Use "group" and call it a day.


Do you know what the name for a baby cow is? It's: baby cow

and a male cow is called: a male cow


Separate words for male and female animals, and adult or infant ones, were (and are) useful for people who work with them — farmers and so on.


Indeed, but no need for everyone to care about such technical terms

Also who's farming crows?


I might be missing the point you're making, but isn't a baby cow called a calf, and a male cow called a bull? Unless castrated, in which case the bull is instead known as a steer.


What's the word for a group of baby cows? What about a group of male cows that have been castrated?

Let's use "group" and leave it at that.


Only technical people need to know such things though, in this case, farmers


You can also make them up as you go along.

A struggle of trees for a few scraggly trees clinging on to a rock way above the tree line. A knob of nudists for, well, for a group of nudists.


Indeed, you don't even need to kill to commit a genocidal act, you can also prevent people from having children.

Are you sure about that?

Indeed - more specifically https://bydeurope.com/byd-europe

    After over 20 years of development, BYD has grown from a brand that has never been known in Europe to a compelling new energy vehicle industry leader. Thanks to the efforts of the European branch, BYD's pure electric buses have already been sold in more than 20 countries and in over 100 major European cities including Amsterdam (the Netherlands), London (the UK), Ankara (Turkey), Madrid (Spain), and Turin (Italy).

    Besides that, BYD has one electric bus factory in Europe which is located in Komarom, Hungary.
but the point stands.


It should only sound out of tune if you have perfect pitch. Relative pitch stays the same.


Worth nothing it's less to do with the lens and more about distance to the subject. If you took a wider angle shot and cropped it, it would look the same (albeit lower resolution).


Yes, this is fairly counterintuitive but true. The focal length has nothing to do with it (other than letting you see the subject from farther away).
