You know when something can be either "or" or "and?" You may also say it is "and" and or "or"; "or" and/or "and," if you will. That's the inclusive or!

The Latin "vel" is a word for the inclusive or. I also just learned that the logic symbol, ∨, is called "vel" and is used for something called "disjunction" as opposed to "exclusive disjunction (⊻)," which is simply the exclusive or, which is the regular or in English.

Apparently the legal term "vel non" uses this word to mean "or not," which means there's at least a chance of it making it out of the courtroom and into the common lingo like quid pro quo, de jure, and de facto, did.

TIL The Cube Rule for categorizing food based on the location of structural starch. by Doctor8 in c/[email protected]

Ah, steak, my favorite salad! Oooh, and salad, the perfect nachos!! My steak is a salad, but if I cut it into bite-sized pieces, it becomes nachos!!!

  1. A salad is specifically a mix of more than one thing. Not a homogeneous mixture.
  2. The hell's up with the nachos? A food with many repeating identical objects? Nachos are a salad.
  3. A sandwich is supposed to be 3 layers; [bread-->content-->bread] from top to bottom. They cite a stack of 3 slices of toast as a sandwich, but a cake is defined as a food with >2 grain layers, a criterion in which 3 slices of toast fits.

Seriously, a good theory idea, but with unforgivable flaws.

Visiting the US soon - do I really have to tip? by Doctor8 in c/[email protected]

No, you don't have to tip. Really unfortunate that some people rely on tips for their wage, but If you don't tip, you're NTA.

What if we made the mouse's nose red and used it as the dot of the question mark?

I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack? by Doctor8 in c/[email protected]

Practicing for No Shit November I see.

You can take a man out of reddit, but you can't take the reddit out of a man.
