    They get used all over especially in differential equations.

    Log10 basically only comes up in statistics for doing a log plot in base 10.

    Basically high school math won’t use the natural log much, but once you hit university higher level math it becomes apparent it’s the one everyone actually uses regularly.


  • The day after I moved to Germany I went to the hospital emergency room with what was later diagnosed as a kidney stone and stomach infection.

    I was given over the counter painkillers and some cramp medication and told to drink lots of beer to treat the stomach infection by the doctor.

    I am serious. I asked about the complications drinking on the pain meds and he just said it was OK.

    mixing those meds with alcohol fucks your liver


  • It’s functionally a way to communicate happiness with the service.

    The restaurants I am a regular at know if I don’t leave a fat tip I wasn’t happy with how they performed. Waiting 20+ minutes just to pay is unacceptable to give a recent example. They were understaffed and some old dude In the attached hotel insisted on print out copies of his reservation details that he then argued about. I could have paid, cash or card, and been out in under a minute while this dude was reading his papers but instead I just sat there for almost half an hour after finishing my meal.

    Should they still get paid unlike in the American system? Yes. But I’m fine with tipping as a general concept. In Germany we call it Trinkgeld and it’s usually 10%, and not exactly a thing you are expected to do every time you eat out, but I usually do 20%+ if I was satisfied.
