I mean it’s a beautiful name, who really cares if it’s named after a genus of Cicadas? There are worse sounding “normal” names out there. Plus it’s named after OP’s passion, I think that shows a lot of love

Alright, fine. You can have 20 miles or so, but nothing more. Oh and all the islands around it are still our’s.
Could’ve told you that 10 years ago. Literally the moment online came out and they suddenly they stopped talking about story DLCs, I knew we weren’t getting them.
The story-mode campaign is now just a gateway drug to their online cash-cow - I bet you it’ll be the same for GTA 6
Could you simp any harder for Russia?
The Ukrainian people are out there fighting tooth and nail to survive the Russian onslaught, yet you’re in your armchair acting like they should just give up because Russia wants them to.
Thank fuck I got away from Authy years ago - cost me my Twitch account (because apparently Twitch straight won’t allow you to switch away from Authy), but it was worth it to secure the rest of my things
That was my first thought too. It was only when the pseudoscience started that I realised I was meant to side with Starbucks girl here, and not the soldier helping out sewer man
There are so many questions. How did the soldier know there was a sewer man? How did the soldier know the sewer man wanted coffee? How did he know that coffee was cold enough for the sewer man to drink?
Could the Russians stop invading another country’s sovereign land?
I too am absolutely pumped to live in a world where human artistry is all but confined to the wealthy, and we all get AI generated pseudo-art instead! Woot woot!
While I wouldn’t wish death on anyone, it would probably be one of the better things to happen to American politics this year, as you’d essentially be beheading the MAGA movement - it is unlikely that anyone else could retake those reigns with how centred the movement is around Trump specifically, man’s practically worshipped like a new Jesus to them.
Fair enough. Subordinate is the term I’ve always heard used. Direct reports just sounds like the sugar coated version to me.
It really saddens to me see how many managers out there treat their subordinates terribly, and then act surprised when their subordinates do the same - as though employees are meant to greatful for their terrible treatment
Well I suppose the answer I’d give is that because of how right-wing the US is compared to much of the Western world, it becomes a patient zero for whatever the far-right is cooking up - which inevitably influences far-right groups in other Western countries
Again, if you started writing 0.999… on a piece of paper, it would never suddenly become 1, it would always be 0.999… - you know that to be true without even trying it.
The difference is virtually nonexistent, and that is what makes them mathematically equal, but there is a difference, otherwise there wouldn’t be an infinitely long string of 9s between the two.
Any real world implementation of maths (such as the length of an object) would definitely be constricted to real world parameters, and the lowest length you can go to is the Planck length.
But that point wasn’t just to talk about a plank of wood, it was to show how little difference the infinite 9s in 0.999… make.
It is mathematically equal to one, but it isn’t physically one. If you wrote out 0.999… out to infinity, it’d never just suddenly round up to 1.
But the point I was trying to make is that I agree with the interpretation of the meme in that the above distinction literally doesn’t matter - you could use either in a calculation and the answer wouldn’t (or at least shouldn’t) change.
That’s pretty much the point I was trying to make in proving how little the difference makes in reality - that the universe wouldn’t let you explore the infinity between the two, so at some point you would have to round to 1m, or go to a number 1x planck length below 1m.
0.999… / 3 = 0.333… 1 / 3 = 0.333… Ergo 1 = 0.999…
(Or see algebraic proof by @[email protected])
If the difference between two numbers is so infinitesimally small they are in essence mathematically equal, then I see no reason to not address then as such.
If you tried to make a plank of wood 0.999…m long (and had the tools to do so), you’d soon find out the universe won’t let you arbitrarily go on to infinity. You’d find that when you got to the planck length, you’d have to either round up the previous digit, resolving to 1, or stop at the last 9.
I agree on them being safe - when rules are properly adhered to, they’re extremely safe, similarly to air travel. People only suspect their safety because when they do fail, they tend to fail spectacularly, again similar to air travel.
Having said that, they may be efficient to operate, but they are by no means efficient to build. They cost a lot of resources, and have a 10 year lead time - plus you need to worry about the cost of waste storage and decommissioning.
So sure, nuclear is better than fossil fuels, but you’re just kicking the nonrenewable can down the road.
That time and resources would be far better spent on renewables, because that where humanity is gonna have to go long-term no matter how well any other alternatives work.
The Internet Archive is currently fighting in the courts to maintain free digital library access to over 500,000 books they own from their own collection, yet Meta uses a pirated dataset of nearly 200,000 books to train their proprietary AI and is just allowed to get away with that??
Publishers will go after a charity making fair use of their content, but not the corporation outright stealing from them. What utter bollocks.
They’re noisy, very noisy
