here is your government-mandated recipe for healthy kraft dinner: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/canada-food-guide/tips-healthy-eating/meal-planning-cooking-healthy-choices/recipes/mac-cheese-with-veggie-twist.html
god damn nanny state, at it again!

@ashfurrow I'm having a really big think over this.
@trickster it’s a puzzler 🤔🤔🤔
@ashfurrow I just checked this and it's true. Brackets change everything.
@adz @ashfurrow It does it without the brackets too! But so does Bing and DuckDuckGo.
@ashfurrow technically the minus sign is a multiplication with -1, therefore it could make sense that it has lower precedence than exponentiation.
Wolfram Alfa gives the same result (even for -3^2), and they are math guys.
@ytg @ashfurrow Precedence rules are PEMDAS:
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
So the calculator query shows "-(3 squared)" which is -9.
You have to type "(-3) squared" to get 9.
@ashfurrow @cj @ytg
Not in whatever calculator I appear to have on Ubuntu. pressing '-', '3', and 'x^2' yields -9.
When I use parens around -3, I get 9.
@ashfurrow negative numbers don't exist. 😉
@ashfurrow Isn't that the negative of 3^2, not (-3^2)?
@danyeaw that’s correct
@ashfurrow
It's a unary '-' minus, yielding 0-3^2
@erAck “-3” isn’t an operation, it’s a number. And the ambiguity of the natural speech “negative three squared” is highlighted by the difference of “(negative three) squared” vs “negative (three squared)” - I would argue the first is _more_ correct.
@ashfurrow
This gave me a good laugh, thanks Ash!
@ashfurrow your shipping some sort of CI then?
@tapi @ashfurrow I would argue that the picture gives away too much information on your secret project.
And Dave looks up from YouTube and asks, what kind of containers are you using?
@ashfurrow A transport system for migrants fleeing war torn areas?
@ashfurrow Y U HATING ON COSTA RICA??
@bremner BUT °C MEANS “DEGREES COSTA (RICA)”
@ashfurrow I guess they forgot about “?:”. Silly programmers.
@SuperFloppies aye
@ashfurrow I wonder if the formatting code is converting a number from °F but using the original number for the plural selection.
@ashfurrow
Hahaha ,true
@ashfurrow I keep thinking that one day we're going to spot buildings that are designed to remind us of legos...
@ashfurrow That's cute.

@ashfurrow I think I'll continue with the tried-and-true method of "buying a box of Kraft Dinner from Target" ;o)
(I'm in shape. Round's a shape.)

@ashfurrow Open box, pour into water. Boil until tolerable. Devour orange substance. Return to other tasks.

@ashfurrow but where are the instructions for making it in my instant pot! Trudeau just half assing thing left and right
@ashfurrow LOL 😂
@ashfurrow Love the description on this one! I laughed so hard LOL.
good morning to all the very smart engineers over at google
