Puzzle for the Day
There are just three vowels (e, i, i). There are not many words made up of consonants alone... If each row and column must have at least one vowel, they cannot have the same x and y index (which simplifies their search procedure). If one word has two vowels, then some word will have be made of just consonants..

Puzzle for the Day
There is not just one answer.. Dunno why, Linux has built-in English word dictionary with 100k+ English words in /usr/share/dict/words (and a couple other locations). So: $ cat /usr/share/dict/words | grep -Eo [redlining]{9} | wc -l 48 $ cat /usr/share/dict/words | grep -Eo [redlining]{9} Unfortunately, this method will also include repetition of some letters.. Do you see the word wanted by you in this list?

Having Trouble Answering the Question: "Why Do You Want to Work Here?"
A related, similar HR question is "where do you see yourself in five years?”".. I searched the net to verify how to spell it and got this: I don't believe that people honestly answer such stupid questions.. "If I win the lottery, I will buy this company, just to fire you..."

Find the numerical value
Such math puzzles make little sense in the age of Wolfram Alpha. It solves them right away. An opportunity to try handmade Latex: [math]\sqrt[3]{7+\sqrt{50}}+\sqrt[3]{7-\sqrt{50}}[/math] [math]\sqrt[3]{7+\sqrt{50}}+\sqrt[3]{7-\sqrt{50}}[/math]

Woodworking: Amateurs, Craftsmen, & In-Between
@zapatos Ten years ago+ I bought a video camera with selfie feature and found that it didn't have a built-in timelapse feature. So I started poking around how to send commands to the camera via USB (WiFi/BT unavailable) and wrote an application for the computer that sends these commands by wire and then automatically downloads the photo and deletes it from the camera's memory. A cool project in the C++ .NET Framework for a weekend with a beer (or ten).. These days people merge 4x 2TB NVMe drives (RAID-0) to have one continuous 8 TB drive (600 USD investment), to be able to edit lengthy videos in UHD resolution (3840x2160). The better input source resolution, the better final quality on-line.. If you're doing timelapse, the sound/voice is added post-factum, so you'll tell what you want to the people watching it. They would have had no idea of the error if you hadn't said so.

Woodworking: Amateurs, Craftsmen, & In-Between
It would be funnier, and self-paying, if you set up a couple of cameras around you on tripods while you work, and create a "how I did it" timelapse and then upload it to YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, FB and IG..

Money and Labour Saving Tips
The optimal brewing temperature for coffee is 88-94 C. If it is unnaturally too hot, maybe it is damaged? https://www.google.com/search?q=percolator+coffee+espresso+maker+brewing+temperature "This temperature is controlled by the thermostat of the espresso machine and should be 190 to 196 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature of the brew in your cup will be between 160 and 165 degrees Fahrenheit." This is two to three times lower than the temperature at which breads or cakes are baked in the oven in the bakery. And it takes 90 to 180 seconds for each cup, instead of 3600-7200+ seconds for roasting/baking.. Maybe someone should do experiments on how much aluminum is deposited in food over some period of time, at some (different) temperatures? 3D graph with quantity, time and temperature on each axis. You don't buy bread from stores/bakery and just bake your own? Every day? Anyway, I listed what a "typical average person in this world" has. I do it every day if I have enough to pay for it. This saves me time. And no matter which restaurant is used, it comes in typical Styrofoam boxes and the meat is in aluminum foil. This prevents the meal from cooling down.

Money and Labour Saving Tips
..aluminum foil is used to 1) bake cakes and bread 2) keep food warm (restaurant dish delivered to your home) 3) cover a large amount of food bought daily in stores.. 4) drinks in aluminum cans.. etc. etc. In the grinder, the coffee has only a few seconds of encounter with aluminum. In the roaster, oven, it is one or several hours at high temperature..

How does ChatGPT work?
You did not take into account many details, for example, a daughter may be adopted, a mother may be a stepmother, a daughter-in-law often speaks to her mother-in-law per "mother"/"mom".. Maybe they taught ChatGPT about time travel,parallel Universes, simulation and virtual reality, etc It would complicate things even more.. You might as well ask about the sex/gender of someone - in some rare circumstances it can be complicated really.. 10+10 may be 20, but 10+10 may be also 100..

Money and Labour Saving Tips
Imagine what a time saver it is to buy a second monitor.. you don't have to switch active applications so often.. AutoHotkey https://www.autohotkey.com/ application allows you to create scripts to perform repetitive tasks. It can simulate mouse movement, simulate keystrokes, execute applications, perform simple mathematical operations. It is used e.g. to pull data from websites that have a control whether it is done by a human or a bot. Instead of going to website X and downloading page by page, thousands of times, you make a script which "clicks"/"enters data" in web browser. For the casual user: you can create email (or forum message) templates or sentence templates that repeat to multiple recipients, and assign them to different hotkeys.

Money and Labour Saving Tips
You should start saving money by analyzing your expenses. Sort them from largest to lowest. There are regular expenses and one-time expenses. There is little sense in saving pennies (e.g., ballpoint pens, or other things above mentioned) if at the same time you spend thousands more on other, much easier to optimize things.. I used to have a rather high IMHO power consumption. After buying a wattmeter I measured literally all devices. Within a month it went to 40% of the previous consumption. The cost of purchasing a wattmeter paid for itself within 2 weeks. I purchased power splitters with separate on/off buttons for each socket and only have them on when using the device. You should start saving labor time by analyzing your daily schedule. Sort them from the biggest time eater to the smallest. There is little sense in saving time that lasts seconds or minutes when, for example, you have to drive an hour to work and another hour coming back from it.. Buy a high-speed modern computer that has an NVMe drive, instead of an HDD, and it will read/write data 70 times faster than an HDD, or 7 times faster than SSD on SATA, meaning you won't be staring at your monitor all day for a web page to show up, or any other lengthy task completed.. Rearranging the equipment around you can save time (see McDonald's movie "The Founder" with Michael Keaton). I saw a documentary about some farmer who produced methane from crop residues from his farm. It was used to heat the cow barracks and his house. Visited neighborhood restaurants to buy used dirty oil from frying dishes and convert it into fuel for his tractor. Restaurateurs had to pay for taking used oil (garbage), so were happy to have someone pick it up from them for free.

How does ChatGPT work?
Maybe A.I. is mocking from you, thinking behind "humans are idiots, you should know it!"..
-
How does ChatGPT work?
...my questions to ChatGPT required logical thinking - lookup database with not precised by me directly records, take them, do some non-trivial maths, convert physical units, and so on.. A.I, might have problem, as any human, with different zero-point notations in different countries.. So 4.1 in one country is 4100 in the other country..

To be Ionic or Polar Covalent is the question!
The most appropriate way would be an ionization energy table. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionization_energies_of_the_elements_(data_page) ..but the higher the atomic number, the less data is in this table.. Here is yet another but requires conversion from kJ/mol to eV: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_ionization_energies_of_the_elements ps. It is clear from these tables that non-valent electrons require much higher energies..

How does ChatGPT work?
I asked someone to ask ChatGPT, IMHO a pretty difficult question in the fields of quantum physics, chemistry, mathematics, and ChatGPT gave, more or less, an acceptable answer (the experts on this forum could not give an answer right away, without searching the web and/or using a calculator - who among you has a database of stable and unstable isotopes of all elements in memory?)..

Can you please delete my account and my posts?
In most forum programs, when someone replies to your thread, their messages are emailed to every member who participated in that thread. So their contents are in their mailboxes and backups of companies hosting POP3 and SMTP servers. If someone uses a PC email application, copies of those emails (=posts on the forum), are on their drives.. I have disks with e-mails from 1997..

Check this page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronegativities_of_the_elements_(data_page) There is not a single way to calculate electronegativity. Even in Pauling scale, Kr, Xe, Rn have data (and they have unstable, hard to made, compounds).

If a professional web UI designer does it, it can be made useful. For example, it is possible to add a search/filter function. See: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_js_filter_table https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_filter_table.asp If the user starts typing, and the list gets shorter with each keystroke.. It is implemented in JavaScript, so the user's machine does everything and its speed will matter (an outdated computer will have sluggish performance).

There is a way to do in HTML5+CSS: https://www.google.com/search?q=html+css+sticky+table+header e.g. <table> <thead style="position: sticky; top: 0; z-index: 1; background-color: rgb( 255, 0, 0 );"> <tr> <th>Name</th> <th>Surname</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> [...] </tbody> </table> The background-color is needed so that you don't have the text from headers merged with the text below..
