Apples are not homogenous, the underlying requirement when asking for "equal share" is that no one is dissatisfied with his/her share, or envy someone else's share. The solution is a dynamic process :

After explaining it clearly to everyone, hover the knife above the left of the first apple as if you were going to cut it through but without doing it, move the knife slowly to the right until one of the three participants says he is happy with that share, cut the apple at that point and that participant gets that share. Then do the same with the second apple and the remaining unserved participants. Whoever doesn't have anything after that gets the remaining two slices.

Since everyone "could have" spoke earlierto get a share, everyone has a share that they consider the best in their frame of reference and everyone is satisfied.

This solution also works with more than three participants

Edit: I just now realised the goal was to do it in a single cut

Had the same experience, almost exactly.

I've noticed the opposite, people post reviews like:

I changed this, modified this quantity, replaced that, used another cooking duration, it was great, 5 stars.

Really helpful... /s

J'ai eu un doute :-D, ça me paraissait gros quand même mais j'ai préféré demander clarification

Je connais des gens qui tiendrai un discours identique au premier degré

Not sure if it's its name in English. From the triumphant light booster pack.

What I do is my scale is underneath my bowl, every time I need to add a quantity of an ingredient I reset it to zero with what's in it.

Though I get that filling a cup and dumping it in seems very practical at first glance, what happen when you need 3/4 of a cup ? Or 1.5 cup ? Do you have 20 cup in the kitchen of different sizes, then you need to grab the one of the correct size which isn't more practical than having a scale which can do infinite granularity, also I expect you would take the wrong cup on many occasions and get the wrong quantity

This guy does.

Where I'm from, flour is sold as packages of 1kg, which they say is 1000g (way too much in my humble opinion) , which cannot be easily divided with simple maths when I want to halve or double my recipe. Recipe specify flour in grams, which makes it so very complicated when I need to convert it to ngogn, in the end I'm always left with flour in my package when I want to double the size of my cakes, which wouldn't happen if the package size was sold in cubic potrzebies.

When I was in the UK, you didn't even need a slip from the doctor, just told your employer you were sick and stayed home, because everyone understood it is simply better that way.

 

My employer had us install a software called "fleet osquery", they said it's a first step toward inventory management of all the devices for IT. I guess it also adds a layer of safety by making sure nobody installs any dangerous software/malware on their work devices.

Looking at the docs , it looks like this can be used to remotely execute scripts on my laptop, should I be worried about my employer spying on me during work hours ? Or logging information about what I'm doing ?

 

Lost in ante 15, It needed 7.7e16, and I only managed 6.5e15.

If anyone is interested, the seed was KZ33819M

This is the furthest I've been ever. That was quite the rush of adrenaline :-D

 

Anyone know what this is ? I found it in my kitchen, I am in the center of France if that helps.

Claude 3.5 said it's an aphid, but I lack the knowledge to confirm it.

Whatever it is, should I be worried ?

 

I know it's not a new problem, but I don't know what I can or should do..

I'm made a design that I shared for free on thingiverse under a Creative commons, attributions, non-commercial license.

I've been made aware today that two etsy sellers are using my design, they didn't ask me and they don't attribute me. I don't particularly mind that people print and sell my design (I understand the added value of it already being printed for the user) , but I feel it is unfair to buyers to not be made aware that the design is free and they could easily get it printed cheaper elsewhere (design is small, it's like half a dollar worth of plastic).

It would also have been nice to send me a share of the profit made from my design..

What can I do or should I do ?
