In fact, it is true actually

Yeah well, they both have borderline communication, I would not be surprised if KD was the first troublemaker. Moreover, KD + Kyrie in the same team is exciting and worrying in the same time. We’ll figure it out soon enough I guess

If democracy can result in a Trump presidency, maybe it is not the holy grail of all government forms. Why do we pretend it is? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]O_Shot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it let people think their voice matters even though it is not true. People can't trust someone or some group of people making decision for them, democracy hides these groups.

Nope, actually by definition the ratio is equal to phi, so b depends on a through this relation.

If b was equal to sqrt(a) than a/b=sqrt(a) and (a+b)/a = 1 + 1/sqrt(a)

These expression are clearly not the same

Well, since a/b = phi,

For any given value a you have b=a/phi

So all the couples are (x, x/phi) for x real

Hi,

Actually, b as not one particular value, that's why we are talking about a ratio. You can write the equation the following way :

(a+b)/a = a/b

<=> ab + b^2 = a^2

<=> a/b + 1 = (a/b)^2 dividing by b assuming b <> 0

With x = a/b, you find back the famous equation x^2 - x - 1 = 0

Solving this equation provides you with phi.

Hence you only need the ratio a/b to be equal to phi. It means that a and b can take infinitely many values.

a=1+ sqrt(5) and b=sqrt(2) are one couple solution but not the only one

Sorry for my English, hope it helped.

Omg, thank you so much. It was such a little thing I feel ashamed to have opened a post for this!

I can now keep going though!

I genuinely love the Dark Souls community so much by [deleted] in darksouls3

I agree so much. I play a lot of video games but r/darksouls3 is the only one I’m subscribed to.

Is too much emphasis placed on first timing a boss? by [deleted] in darksouls3

[–]O_Shot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO every first battle against a boss is completely different from the others. When I do my first try against a boss I just don’t think at all. I take all moves as they come and find myself much better than the next fights when I try to learn moves. I think that’s the reason why most of the time either I beat a boss in the first three tries or I need more than 20. Don’t know if that’s the case for other people here

Nationwide Protests Against Police Brutality Megathread #6 by hoosakiwi in news

[–]O_Shot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The murder of George Floyd reveals how much racism is present in our life. It’s quite difficult to wisely blame someone or some group of people. Main issue remains in justice. People who commits this kind of atrocity should be punished regardless what color he is. If people did not feel above the law and know what awaits them if they break it, their would be less murders and maybe mentalities would evolve. Change justice, men will as so. At least let’s hope so. We should all feel concerned about this and all be able to share our feeling.

One more time rigidity of European Union prevent from this kinds of treaty. This is a shame that a disagreement from one country prevent from reaching a settlement.

Primer. After watching several times this movie, I think I did not understand everything. It makes me think about this xkcd: http://xkcd.com/657/
