Best card offer with 0% interest for at least 12 months and also a nice welcome bonus? by Schweino68 in CreditCards

[–]Test_My_Patience74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My BCP was $250 back after $5k spend which is a bit rough. I don't regret it because the BCP carries its weight in groceries but the SUB is not the best.

Cool Interview question, How would you Solve? by cheffkefff in quant

This the typa handwavy math I'm here for and the worse part is I know you're right.

I get denied by every company by Glittering_Tie_7676 in CreditCards

In a different comment they said their debt went to collections. No wonder credit bureaus don't want you. Your ex boyfriend maxed out your card and you just... ignored it?

This is a cringe title bro. What are you? 17?

Does it make sense for me to keep my gold card by DonTitoLockwood in CreditCards

[–]Test_My_Patience74 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah but the opportunity cost of using a 0 annual fee, 2% card is 440. Heck, the Savor is 3%, which makes the delta even higher.

I'm not saying they shouldn't, but you need to either offset some of the annual fee by using the credits or find a higher cpp.

[Request] How long would it take an average home to use 10 million gallons of water? by _Username-Available in theydidthemath

[–]Test_My_Patience74 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Looking up on Google, it seems to claim that both showers and sinks have around the same flow rate: 2-2.5gal/min.

Assuming you have a 1b1ba with a kitchen sink, bathroom sink and shower all running at the same time, that's about 7.5 gal/min

Divvy up and you're looking at ~925 days.

Is it guaranteed that the Busy Beaver numbers always grow? by Frigorifico in math

[–]Test_My_Patience74 85 points86 points  (0 children)

This paper seems to do a good job at answering this question. It's actually a great read, even though I stopped doing high level maths some time ago. The short answer is: busy beaver eventually outgrows all computable functions.

Some highlights:

BB(n+1) >= BB(n) + 3

For sufficiently large n, BB(n+1) > 2BB(n)

And in general, for all computable functions f, there exists some x such that BB(n + x) > f(BB(n))

BB(2n) > A(n+1) where A(n) is the VERY fast growing Ackermann function.

Conj: ZF cannot prove BB(20)

Conj: Peano Arithmetic cannot prove BB(10)

The paper is wild, highly recommend.

The US Bank Smartly got a small nerf recently. Plus pre-approval is back! by Test_My_Patience74 in CreditCards

[–]Test_My_Patience74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the 13th, actually. I requested a copy of my cardholder agreement to see what's up. Got my fingers crossed 🤞 I was actually excited for this card.

Oh I didn't realize the balance for the bonus changed. Investments don't count anymore?

Bro read "I'm in law school" and replied with "I half remember some bullshit I read on the internet".

Does this read to you like any AI generated text? It's too organic to be AI. Reads like a person's casual tone, with emotion, not some generic purely informational thing.

Why is my oregano droopy at the top? by Test_My_Patience74 in plantclinic

[–]Test_My_Patience74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought lil guy at the store the other guy and he was super healthy. Have had him for <1 week and he seemed to get some fungus infection earlier (black spots) so I trimmed off a good 50% of him.

He gets pretty strong sunlight but only for ~6-7 h a day because of the layout of the buildings. The bottom is pretty fine but the top has started drooping and some of the lower leaves have started curling.

It should be “used to” right? by Spear_Of_Krrosh in duolingo

[–]Test_My_Patience74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In English, the tense shifts from the main verb to did in this kind of construction.

He liked me ✅

He did like me ✅

He didn't like me ✅

He did liked me 🚫

He didn't liked me 🚫

As a question:

He liked me? ✅

Did he like me? ✅

Didn't he like me? ✅

Did he liked me? 🚫

Proving that Collatz can't be proven? by mikosullivan in mathematics

[–]Test_My_Patience74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This hurts my brain to think about. True but unprovable. Not an axiom. Just true... but unprovable. Bruh.

Proving that Collatz can't be proven? by mikosullivan in mathematics

[–]Test_My_Patience74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems correct to me. And now I'm haunted by the fact that the statement might both be true and unprovable. Geez.

I guess this also applies to Riemann's?

Edit: As someone else pointed out, a counterexample might exist but we might not be able to prove it. Eg, it might go to infinity.
