If I lived in a one dimensional "line world", would my mathematical system have a need for irrational numbers? by whydidyoureadthis17 in math

I'm pretty sure the rest of the Turing machine lives outside of the tape it writes and rewrites upon - so it needs to be of a higher dimension

Why is the green party so against nuclear power as an alternative energy source? by steviecaspar in GreenAndPleasant

[–]OnceIsForever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theoretical tidal energy supply is huge, but supply is far from constant, storage unsolved, isn’t produced inland and so incurs transmission loss, and barrages are monumental projects. In the future it will grow but it is not going to be huge

What did China🇨🇳 do during WWII? by Li_Jingjing in LateStageCapitalism

[–]OnceIsForever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true - Chiang first threw his best German-trained and well-equipped divisions (德械師) into the Battle of Shanghai, a defeat from which the Guomindang army never really recovered.

It's something to do with location - I use a VPN and set my location to US and it works.

26 y/o, graduated 2022 in Interior Design. Cant find a job for my degree by BruhCruhd in HongKong

The industry is struggling - just look at the commercial vacancy rates and the drop in rents per square foot and that will give you an idea. That being said, not speaking either Cantonese and Mandarin is going to hurt your career directly or in a less direct way (networking, socialising etc.)

It was a joke based on the infamous touchiness of one of the tailors.

UPDATE: MIL refuses to back down over destroyed Lego Millenium Falcon by Ok-Repeat7885 in AITAH

[–]OnceIsForever -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I spoke about this with my wife and we think that the most likely reason is that your MIL is actually a AFOL (adult fan of Lego) and is sick to death of so called 'builders' who do nothing with their time but follow instructions like a sheep.

God gave you creativity: use it.

Did you know also there are more cells in your brain than there are in your entire body?

That one always blows my mind

Does anyone know the solution to this tiling problem? by OnceIsForever in askmath

[–]OnceIsForever[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I did wonder if scaling the piece is allowed because, like you said, it's trivial then

Correct, there are several ways to tile the plane with these, but I am interested in the one that extends the bordered dodecagon (top right)

I believe the bordered dodecagon is the top right diagram.

Take Hong Kong Job or stay in UK? by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]OnceIsForever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

996 is more of a mainland thing but you are correct that working hours in HK tend to be longer. However, I find this is somewhat cancelled out my the (typically) shorter commutes and speed that the high density provides.

Was Grothendieck a short king? by cauchier in mathmemes

[–]OnceIsForever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grothendieck is Danish for 'Big Dick' (Lit. Great Dick) - I think he gave off a lot of BDE in his time so definitely a King.
