fun fact: the blind spot is because our optical sensors are installed backwards and that hole is so the optic nerve can pass back through the back of the eye to the brain. some other critters with independently evolved vision systems, such as cephalopods, avoided this particular evolutionary pitfall.

take a bit from the outer perimeter, rotate the zza slightly, then take another bite. repeat until you’ve spiral-noshed the whole thing

according to this list, nobody has gotten a billion from a lottery, yet. but sure, i guess that is the way to get rich, without having to exploit others. i also feel like i ought to point out that i never accused anyone of being evil geniuses, just evil.

edit: fixed link

i think super rich people do fucked up shit because:

1. that’s the only way you become mega-rich, and
2. they want more

if i already have ‘infinite’ money, why would i want more, and since i’m getting this via magic or something, there’s no incentive to be evil in order to become or remain mega-rich. in short, yeah, i reckon i’d be alright, and we’d all be better off in the long run.

what’s the association of noodles?

i don’t think we ought to be implying that colonization is cool.

maybe something derived from dekotora? it has most of the same associations as the term we’re looking to replace while not having racist or pejorative origins. deko?

is there meant to be an image here, or is that the joke, somehow?

are those not identical? regardless, i’d recommend checking out a vertical mouse. my partner works with a mouse a ton as a 3d artist, and swears by them.

did you just suggest a ratio as an irrational number?

he lost it at an underground lake, where bilbo found it. gollum found the ring in a river, or rather, his friend found it in a river, and then gollum killed him and took it from him.

holy crow i wish this was real.

eww gross what the hell.

hopefully by then it’ll all be sorted by whatever fix they implemented before 2038.

we’ve got a super tiny apartment.i clean constantly, and dust isn’t much of an issue cause just about every surface sees constant use.

i just figured using pi was an easy way to acquire a known irrational number, not trying to make any special point about it.

hell yeah. soon as its not way more expensive than normal meat, i’m down. your proposed technology also sounds like it should mean lab grown replacement organs with zero chance of rejection, which would be amazing.

no. it merely being infinitely non-repeating is insufficient to say that it contains any particular finite string.

for instance, write out pi in base 2, and reinterpret as base 10.

11.0010010000111111011010101000100010000101...

it is infinitely non-repeating, but nowhere will you find a 2.

i’ve often heard it said that pi, in particular, does contain any finite sequence of digits, but i haven’t seen a proof of that myself, and if it did exist, it would have to depend on more than its irrationality.

my understanding is that the nominal voltage you get out of a cell is always dependent on the chemistry it’s using. alkaline battery cells are always 1.5V until they run down. even a 9V battery is actually six little 1.5 V cells in series in its little rectangular box. NiMH cells are 1.2V. Lithium batteries are actually a variety of different chemistries, but i think all of them have upwards of 3V nominal voltage, so they wouldn’t make a good drop in replacement either without some kind of voltage regulation circuitry.

what you just wrote seems quite at odds with the definition you just posted two comments up. the google definition talks about belief in differing traits and capacity and a belief in racial superiority. your definition seems to only care about unequal treatment. it seems an equivocation meant to disparage those who might seek to counteract historical (google definition) racism with a bit of modern (your definition) racism. it strikes me as disingenuous in the extreme.
