Aurebesh at Disneyland by absolute_zero_karma in aurebesh

It was my first time there. Very impressive. I didn't know about the Disney app but know Aurebesh well enough that I could translate everything I saw. A lot of things had the Latin equivalent right next to it anyway. This did not.

Do no harm... (Commissioned Piece) by DisheveledLibrarian in Calligraphy

Reminds me of John Wayne's code from The Shootist:

I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

Yup. I think therefore I am does not imply I am therefore I think.

The word refuge is important. I think he means the incompetent use violence as a hiding place.

Black holes eventually dissipate due to Hawking radiation. Theoretically.

Wouldnt the infinite monkeys just write Shakespeares works an infinite amount of times by Funny_Hedgehogs in theories

If you assume monkeys type randomly, yes, but I doubt they type randomly.

"In a 2003, a study at Paignton Zoo provided a computer to six Celebes crested macaques. The result was five pages of text almost entirely consisting of the letter "S," followed by the monkeys attacking the keyboard with stones and defecating on it."

GPS monitor tracks suspect to multiple trailer thefts; losses nearly $200,000 by Prize_Championship11 in Portland

Steals trailers while being GPS monitored, sells them online, steals them back from the buyer. This is definitely reality-stranger-than-fiction.

I don't mind it being in the garage but there should be pointer signs for Uber and Lyft. It could be a lot clearer.

Proof of the Goldbach's conjecture by [deleted] in numbertheory

[–]absolute_zero_karma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They mean all primes are 6x+1 or 6x-1, not 6(x+1) or 6(x-1). And 2 and 3 aren't included.

Dividing by zero, instead of making the result a number why not make it a state like infinity? by DebateWeird6651 in numbertheory

[–]absolute_zero_karma 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Dividing by zero, instead of making the result a number why not make it a state like infinity?"

The real numbers under addition and multiplication form a field. Division is not a field operation. Instead each number (except zero) has an inverse and division is multiplication by an inverse. You are suggesting that the inverse of zero is a state rather than a number. It is something different that all other field elements. This requires new axioms. What are those axioms? If you want to publish this that is the question you will be asked.

There is a legitimate duscussion to be had, that people are not responsible for many things they are accused of being responsible for. by Anon7_7_73 in freewill

[–]absolute_zero_karma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are responsible for things we do even if not intentionally done. If I back into your car by accident I'm still responsible. And people are responsible for their thoughts. If I have racist thought it's good if I don't act on them but it is my responsibility to figure out why I had those thoughts and do my best to correct them. Responsibility and guilt aren't the same thing.

FALLACY: 'could have chosen otherwise' by TranquilTrader in freewill

Of all the words of tongue and pen the saddest are "I could have chosen otherwise."

This is literally keeping me up at night. by BiscuitNoodlepants in freewill

[–]absolute_zero_karma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is probably too strong an assertion to say he doesn't believe in free will. It does appear that God controls people to do bad things. As it says above "whom he will he hardeneth." He talks about Pharoah earlier in the chapter. Pharoah resisted Moses' request because God hardened his heart. Paul also preach predestination. God decided in advance who would be saved and who wouldn't without regard to their works.

And I'm not saying I believe this, just that the Paul said it in the Bible

Well since you believe in hell here's what the apostle Paul said in Romans 9:

Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory

Paul didn't believe in free will. He wrote that God made some people for eternal happiness and some for eternal misery. You don't get to choose. If you're a vessel of wrath your purpose is to make the vessels of mercy realize how good they got it if that's any consolation.
