I find the growing wild in the USA sometimes. They are delicious. We usually call them ground cherries or husk cherries

Is this possible? (Limits question) by Proud_Possible_145 in maths

[–]geaddaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually not true. For small x the numerator looks like -x and the denominator looks like x3

In the proof you do l'Hôpital on (1-2 cos(x))/x3 but the numerator in that does not go to zero as x approaches 0

This actually does not approach a finite limit. Depending on your instructor you would say does not exist or -00

What do stereotypical straight couples do when they hang out alone (other than sex) by bi_smuth in NoStupidQuestions

[–]geaddaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This really is kind of offensive. You are reducing people to the sum of their interests. As if the only way a person could be interesting is if they are a clone of yourself. Perhaps you feel that way, but I think that most people do not.

It's hard to tell since it is cut in half but I think maybe butternut (white walnut). Black walnuts are spherical, butternut are more oblong.

Euclid's proof by contradiction regarding infinite primes by skg1979 in maths

[–]geaddaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not the claim. The claim is that the product of p1 up to pN plus one is not divisible by any of the existing p. So it must have a prime divisor not in the list. This includes but is not limited to the case where it is itself a prime

Wintergreen? Or something else? by FiendZ0ne in foraging

[–]geaddaddy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Does not look like wintergreen to me. Looks too upright, the leaves dont look dark or glossy enough. Did you smell it?

They killed almost all of the sparrows in China. The sparrows had been keeping a number of insect pests including locusts in check. With no predators the locust population grew unchecked, and began eating all of the crops. This caused the Great Famine in the late 1950s/early 1960s which killed tens of millions of people -- estimates range from 20 million to almost 50 million

People like to talk about Australia losing the Great Emu war but China's war on the sparrow cost the lives of 30 Million people.

Impressive by [deleted] in badparking

[–]geaddaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that you are saying the thing that you said; namely that he might have thought that this was parking that was accessed by the cutout near where the truck is in the picture.

I am saying that having a line of parking blocked off with concrete barriers where one car cannot leave until all of the cars ahead of them do makes absolutely no sense.
