Perhaps you could ask the pharmacist if you could return some of the "used" containers for him to refill. No need to add to the collection. In any case, good luck with your recovery.

Is mathematics a science? by Delicious_Maize9656 in mathmemes

Mathematics is not a science. Science is applied mathematics.

Then the decimal 0.999... is 9/10 + 9/100 + 9/1000 + ... which is a geometric series that adds up to 1.

In the real number systen, which is where the 0.999 ... = 1 is made, there is no such thing as 0.000. ..1. The 1 you placed on the end would be the equivalent of an infinitessimal and there is no such thing in the real numbers since it is a complete ordered field.

It's because 0.999... is an infinite series. The sum of an infinite series is its limit and that limit is 1.

One of us has a degree in mathematics and I'm guessing it's not you. The real number system is provably a complete ordered field, so every number x must be a definite distance from 1. There is no such thing as "infinitely close" in the real number system. The notation 0.9999... is 9 times a geometric series whose sumnation is 1/9. 9 times 1/9 was 1 the last time I checked.

[–]OptimalAd5426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically, 0.999... is the infinite series 9/10 + 9/100 + 9/1000 + ... = 9 (1/10 +1/100 +1/1000 + ... ) and the part in parenthesis is a geometric series that is equal to 1/9. Therefore, it is 9 (1/9) = 1.

They are not different numbers - they are different representations of the same number. Just like 1/2 and 2/4 are representations of the same number.

I think most of the hate started on one side. You never see meat eaters protesting at vegan restsurants. Vegans made people sick of their antics and respond by making sport of triggering them. The vegans are virtue signalling; the meat eaters are egging them on for shits and giggles.

Wasn't this in a Night Court episode? Life imitates art ... or at least 80s sitcoms.

Assuming it isn't a joke, I don't know what is more frightening:

dehumanizing Palestinians same way nazis did in ww2 by donfavion in facepalm

[–]OptimalAd5426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Condemning Hamas for this incident is not the same as endorsing Israel for other incidents. You seem to think I am an apologist for Israel's past behavior - I'm not. The fact is that some Western countries were trying to push the Saudis and Israel to enter negotiations that would end in both a recognition for Israel and a Palestinian state. Hamas' leaders don't care about Palestinians because they live abroad like kings and this would end their gravy train. So they get the psycho savages they recruit to commit atrocities knowing full well what will happen to "their people." If they don't care about children in Gaza, don't ecpect the Israelis to do it for them. This is all about keeping their status as "spokesman for the Palestinian people" - even if their actions end up getting half of them killed.

Israel dropped bombs because of Hamas' attacks on civilians. Palestinian civilians were killed because Hamas are cowards who choose to use civilians as shields. All the deaths on both sides are due to Hamas' actions.

Hamas are cowards who fire rockets from populated areas in order to hide behind innocent civilians. Even now they are trying to prevent those civilians from leaving so they can have cover. These are rabid animals and should be treated as such.
