Trump's picks aren't going to help make things better, but there has never been a time when our government would impose real consequences on a billionaire.

87.1tb of books is very little?? Have I just been downloading the smallest size pdf and djvu files by pure luck?

Vectorman had a ton of those. ABRACADABRA would restore your HP. BALL and BALD would both display coordinates in the screen corner, one of them had more precision than the other I think. That was more annoying that useful for someone just playing but I remember the codes anyway.

If you want to show there are infinitely many primes, one way is to first note that every integer greater than 1 has a prime factor. This is because if an integer n is prime, n is a prime factor of itself, and if n is not prime then it must have a smaller factor m other than 1, 1< m < n. If m is also not prime, it too must have a smaller factor other than 1, and you can keep playing this game but there are only so many integers between 1 and n so eventually you'll get to a factor of n that has no smaller factors of its own other than 1, which means it is prime.

Let's now suppose there is only a finite number of primes, we'll try to show that this assumption leads to nonsense so can't be possible.

We can multiply any finite number of integers together to get a new integer. Let's multiply all of the primes together to get a new number M. Then M + 1 gives a remainder of 1 when you divide by any prime number. Since dividing by a factor will always give a remainder of 0, none of the prime numbers can be a factor of M + 1. So M + 1 is an integer bigger than 1 with no prime factors. This is impossible, so there must be a mistake somewhere in this argument.

The only thing we said that we're not 100% sure is true was that there are a finite number of primes, so that has to be our mistake. So there must be infinitely many prime numbers.

There are only finitely many prime numbers and I will not hear otherwise.

I don't remember where I read this quote originally and I can only paraphrase it, but observing people living in a capitalist society and concluding that human nature is self-centeredness and greed is equivalent to observing workers in a factory that is poisoning their lungs and concluding that human nature is to cough.

I played this as a kid. I loved the game except for the fights. I would press '0' to sucker punch every time. I don't even know what Indy Quotient is, why should I care about it going down?

I remember trying yacy over ten years ago and I really wanted to like it but it was functionally useless. The results I was getting would be unrelated to my query almost every time. I checked back periodically over the years but that never seemed to improve much.

It's the first thing I thought of too though.

I haven't written next week's notes yet.

Oh my god she is adorable. This may be the most jealous I have ever felt of a poster online.

he has a list of things that will prop up his approval rating, because that is the only metric that actually matters to him

This almost feels overly forgiving to Trump, given what the remainder of our political body is. When judging US politicians by which metrics actually matter to them, "approval rating" puts someone way in the upper echelon.

Are towels supposed to bend?

I swear even the time I finally won I successfully clawed at Scar's face over a thousand times before I realized you just throw him off the cliff.

Living on my own I was really good about any mess I made in an instant being dealt with immediately. Dishes would not pile up, etc. Any problem with a longer accumulation time might as well be there forever though, dust bunnies can have eternal lifespans.

I didn't find it so bad, but a switch to living with someone who just does occasional cleaning can throw your living space into chaos. The tiny psychological difference between "making a new mess" and "contributing to an existing mess" has way too much impact on what tasks will get addressed, and it's difficult as all hell to break free from that.

Rushing on a snowy day, walked into an open manhole. To this day I have no idea what I landed on, I was shoulders-deep and when I came back the next day the snow was gone all I saw was the manhole cover.

I'm really sick right now and this makes me miss my boy so much.

Had a traumatic life event a couple months back and I've had to move far away and could not take him. I'm confident he's in good hands, but it's hard.

One time I got ready to head for grad school just like any other day and I realized I forgot to close my shirt drawer and was like huh, I've never forgotten that before. Nine or ten hours later I get back home and Buddy has not come out to greet me, instead I see our other cat Oceanborn, who is quite antisocial. I walk into the bedroom and Oceanborn paces in front of the dresser meowing and my heart sank into my stomach when I realized what I had done. For just a moment I felt so awful but opening that drawer just to see him do an enormous yawn and then a stretch and then jump out all happy, there's something to be said for moments of terror for someone's well-being that instantly turn to pure comedy when you realize they're fine.

Black cat snuggled up in my black shirts. Later that evening I saw him use his paw to open the dresser drawer and hop in again, so it turns out he had just taught himself a new trick without having the decency to inform me about it.

When I got my first cat about ten years ago I was young, naïve, and stupid enough to think paying monthly for pet insurance was a good idea and when she developed asthma two years later they said it was a pre-existing condition so they wouldn't cover any treatment. Ended up giving her up since we were barely getting by as-is, I still feel ashamed.

Never watched the channel, but I would guess that being tech-themed makes it a worse look that they promoted it for so long before catching the issue, so they were worried it would cast doubt on all other endorsements and tank the value of advertising with them.

I'm in the divorce process and in many ways I'm terrified of reaching the point where I am past the grief and feeling a need to fill that void.

We met over ten years ago because I posted a personals ad on a local r4r titled "Creepy guy seeks woman way out of his league". Everything seems 5000x more gamified now.

I'm somewhat awkward, so I'm a lot more comfortable putting off phone or video for a few days. With that said, I really want to avoid the shame and frustration that comes with taking a full hour to realize I've been treating a chatbot like a real human being.
