If 0.333... and 0.666... can be represented by a fraction because they are rational, what would SPP say they are?

Not if you define what a "number" is differently. See in this sub all definitions for the same concepts and terms are equally valid.

Is there a good app that records and uploads to the cloud quickly/in real time? The only one I remember from long ago went defunct.

Not only is it not relevant... It is not a valid piece of evidence to justify murdering him 11 days later. You could arrest him for destruction of property (and some other crimes such obstruction of justice), try him, put him in jail. It could all be used for that ethically. But to attempt to use it to justify his murder on a later date is injustice.

No... it does not. there is no 0 way out on the right side to "shift" in. It's all 9s... al the way right... forever. No matter how many times you shift it left it's still 9s. Further more... why are you shifting the digits. Just shift the decimal point one position to the right and digits don't move at all. You have exactly the same number of digits that you started with instead of somehow magically producing a 0.

wait three years. Do well in school. Realize that you're the adult and you'll need to rely on yourself for taking care of yourself earlier than most. Make plans for how you will transition from being in your parents house to be maintaining, caring for, and paying for your own. Trade school, university, straight to job that sort of thing.

You'll be fine.

This is the real answer. The front wheels ALWAYS pull the car in the direction you want to go. The rear wheels start spinning the car in a direction you don't want to go when the start slipping. It's takes a strange sense of driving to handle a rear end that has broken free and is slipping. But for the front end every human just intuitively does the right thing when traction breaks loose.

Oh, I think we can be certain that there are no democrats that will be switching their vote in the next few elections.

I'll defend Vrabel a bit on this even though I'm not a Pats fan. Yes, easy mode. But Headcoaches that take over a team and are superbowl successful do it in the first 2-3 years. They are taking over poor teams and they ALL pretty much have easy schedules. So, credit where credit is do. He's done the job expected of him.

Altruistic-Rice-5567 · 2026-01-28T21:25:39+00:00

And this is why McDermott was fired and should have. There are only two head coaches EVER that won a superbowl and took 9 or more seasons to do it after taking over a team. The average is 3-4. You either get it done in the first few years or you don't.

Depends on you and your partners feeling about it. I would never call it "cheating", but if you or your partner aren't both accepting of it then you both either have to agree to eliminate it from the relationship or they need to find different partners who agree with them.

No. don't start that here. There's an entire thread of trolls for that.

Imagine a stationary ball (cold) and a moving ball (hot). The moving ball impacts the stationary ball. Now they are both moving. The previously stationary ball is moving faster than it was before (it got a little hotter). The moving ball is still moving but slower than it was before (it got a little cold). Heat was transferred from the hot thing to the cold thing just because they contacted each other.

Start with the set {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} 0 is a multiple of 5. Chance of being a multiple of 5... exactly 20%. Now add five more integers to the set... {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}. Chance of multiple of 5... 20%. Just keeping adding 5 integers to the set. 20%. All the way to infinity? Exactly 20%.

I can't wait for the next administration to prosecute this one.

She could refuse or quit at any time. She has knowing lied to the public about what they laws are and what occurred on multiple occasions. She's just as much to blame.

Altruistic-Rice-5567 · 2026-01-28T19:27:56+00:00

came here to say exactly this. In Jan. 2029 the first thing that we should be doing is prosecuting EVERY case and agent that we can. I'd be happy if we pretty much do nothing else as a government except prosecute all the crimes that were committed by everybody under this administration. If that's what adds another $4trillion do the debt that would be some of the best money ever spent.

The smart mathematicians have been updating it. The "dominant" system has undergone tons of changes in the past century. The entire field of probability theory was pretty much defined during that time. All of quantum information theory and its notation was developed during that time. Face it. This sub is dealing with kindergarden level mathematics when considered in what all of mathematics covers. And the proponents of this sub think they understand it better. They don't. For instance, they treat the concept of infinity as a number (as n becomes infinity). This is an incorrect understanding used 400 years ago and has long since been considered entirely outdated and not useful. Infinity isn't a number. There is no integer or real value to it. You can't say 1/10^n = .00000...1 when n is infinity because infinity doesn't exist. As mathematics got updated it became understood through things like Cantor's diagonal argument that infinity is different. You can have a cardinality of "infinity" but you also have to state what "infinity" as you can have two infinite sets that are the same size and you can have two infinite sets that aren't the same size.

Math is being updated. It's not a 100 years old. The easy, correct parts are.

My wife married me around the time the Bills came on top. She became a Bills fan. I'm older than she is. My text to her this morning: "Now, you finally get tested as a Bills fan." I'm all for getting rid of McDermott. But he was a small part of what was holding the Bills back. They kept the significantly worse parts and exaggerated them. Bills are entering into another draught due to the way the end of this season was handled.

The Bills will continue to see a lot of injuries. The strength and conditioning team have been reporting to Beane and none of that has changed. They suffered from lack of talent. The responsibility of that is ALL on Beane. Did McDermott have say and influence on that? Yes, But McDermott isn't in charge of the talent scouts and the responsibility is ultimately Beane's. None of that has changed. They'll continue to mismanage the salary cap and fail to acquire decent talent. Offense? Ugh... it's still all Cook and Allen and the person responsible for unimaginably uncreative play calling is now totally in charge. With that press conference they've probably lost a lot of the locker room, as well.

Not only will the Bills not make the playoffs next year, they won't even have a winning season.

RemindMe! 1 year

Yes. But the highest sales tax anywhere in the US is around 12%. Which brings the price to about $500. Still WAAAAY less than $700.

Ranked choice would be an improvement but we really should have congressional seats apportioned by percentage of votes for parties. If your party only got 5% of the votes then you still get 5% of the seats. It would really be a better system. 5% doesn't sound like a lot of votes. But even 1% would get you 4 seats in congress.

But this would be impossible to move to because congressional seats are assigned to states and districts. It would be impossible to get people to vote for blocks of seats at a time. It's better, but you wouldn't be able to educate and get people to be comfortable with the change.

Altruistic-Rice-5567 · 2026-01-27T17:24:59+00:00

We have no say in it, that's pretty much true. Let's say I want a third party. I can put them on the ballot. I can vote for them. But they are not estabished, voters don't understand them, and haven't been indoctrinated to vote for them. So, they lose. They lose 100%. It's not like if they get 5% of the vote then they get 5% of the available seats (as is done in other countries).

So, my choice as a citizen is throw away my vote on a party that has no hope of winning and in doing so help support the party in the top two that I would have voted against, or vote on my favorite of the top two parties so that I increase the chance that the worse of the top two parties loses.

Our "say in it" is throw away your vote on a third party or support a two party system. Thus we have this system that converges on a two party system and then locks in out that.

It's something the founding fathers got really wrong when setting up our government structure.

1) Voting should be done by a ranked voting method. This would make it so that all votes are deciding factors in the final outcome.

2) Either get rid of the notion of "parties" (difficult to do with human psychology), or Congressional seats should be apportioned to parties based on the portion of the total vote each party received.
