Hoarding Due to Labor Strikes
If each person gets a dedicated bidet cloth to dry off after using the bidet, it makes TP unnecessary. Many modern bidets have a variety of ways to control water pressure, spread, nozzle angle, movement, and etc. I find they are more hygienic and less irritating than TP as well.- docnet

I Raising to the power of 0 or 1
For nonzero ##a##, ##a^0=1##, because $$\frac{a^n}{a^n}=a^{n-n}=a^0.$$ For any ##a##, ##a^1=a##, because $$a^1\cdot a^1=a^{1+1}=a^2.$$- docnet

Can't solve this elementary school problem involving area of circles
Maybe not obvious, but definitely derivable. Start with the double angle identity: $$\tan(2\theta) = \frac{2\tan(\theta)}{1 - \tan^2(\theta)}.$$ Let ##\theta = \arctan\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)##. Then, ##\tan(\theta) = \frac{1}{2}##. Substituting into the double-angle identity...- docnet

how do you read the signs (thai?) if you moved from the U.S.? It doesn't seem an easy language to learn- docnet

B Why does the trigonometry of obtuse angles use ref angles?
Simply, the answer to the "why" is that the sine function is defined that way. If you calculate it based on the y-axis, it would be a different function. Here is ##\sin(x)## graphed together with ##\cos(x)##. ##\sin(x)##, with the current definition, has very useful applications in physics and...- docnet

Can't solve this elementary school problem involving area of circles
I'm getting $$\text{area}=200 \arcsin\left(\frac{4}{5}\right) + 50 \arcsin\left(\frac{3}{5}\right) - 125\pi + 200$$ as the exact solution using integration. I don't know if there is any simple trick.- docnet

Using Capsaicin to Get Really High
Hi there. I'm a frequent enjoyer of spicy foods. Buffalo wings, tabasco, Thai food, chips, you name it. I find that my sleep and mood improve after I ingest spicy foods. I've been experimenting with different sources as well, from jalapeno peppers to pure capsaicin extract, at 16 million...- docnet

Music Why are ABBA so popular?
You're probably technically correct, but people more often seem to use plural when referring to ABBA. For example: https://abbasite.com uses "their" when referring to ABBA. :oldbiggrin:- docnet

Weight training for older people
I wasn't implying anything about your physique at all. I just wanted to post something drastically out of the norm for entertainment. For clarity, you seem to be in an exceptionally fit shape, kudos for that. My dad is around the same age, he works out every day, and he's not as strong or flexible.- docnet

Finding limit using integration
It must be as ##x=\frac{r}{n}## and ##\Delta x = \frac{1}{n}##. The boundaries are ##0## and ##1## because $$0< r \leq n\Leftrightarrow 0<\frac{r}{n}\leq 1\Leftrightarrow 0<x\leq 1,$$ which goes along with $$\sum_{r=1}^n\frac{1}{n}=1$$ for the traditional right Riemann sum $$\sum_{r=1}^n...- docnet
