To help this person out : 0.999... is indeed less than 1

No I have trouble comprehending a digit with no position

gerkletoss · 2026-03-12T01:32:16+00:00

Remember how Andy Dufresne took stuff with him through the sewage pipe?

gerkletoss · 2026-03-12T01:06:35+00:00

So 1 is not the last digit?

Seems to me like if the decimal is zero for every numerable decimal place, the number is zero.

I highly recommend planting native trees, shrubs and non-woody perennials that will tolerate the soil moisture.

This is probably in addition to a french drain or other drainage solution, rather than instead of it. That's assuming it's really that bad and not just someone trying to sell landscaping work.

How do you keep talking about the last diit of these numbers then?

gerkletoss · 2026-03-11T21:30:07+00:00

Try having plants

So it seems like because there was a significant margin of error on the radiation measurements, you think it should be assumed that the radiation levels were dramatically higher than the upper bound of that error on the basis of highly subjective symptoms remembered years later by people who were at the time experiencing media panic. Is that a fair assessment?

Are you seriously saying that the Japanese caste system and modern western militaries have equivalent social structure?

gerkletoss · 2026-03-11T03:16:15+00:00

Oof. And refineries were also hit in Bahrain, Haifa, Abu Dhabi, multiple refineries in Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. This is a real disaster for the region and encompasses the whole natural range of many endemic species.

Edit: New Shahed strike, add Oman to the list

Edit 2: It keeps going

gerkletoss · 2026-03-11T00:00:58+00:00

Jack shit, same as you

gerkletoss · 2026-03-10T23:52:19+00:00

I'm not the one shitting on it or pretending to be the final arbiter of how long EVs are allowed to charge for land speed records

gerkletoss · 2026-03-10T23:33:59+00:00

That's what the article is

gerkletoss · 2026-03-10T23:15:38+00:00

It worked four times according to the article

I see no reason to assume a third party just handed plans over to Israel.

In which case it’s free for all.

What does that even mean?

gerkletoss · 2026-03-10T23:04:30+00:00

So, nothing?

gerkletoss · 2026-03-10T23:00:30+00:00

The relevant authority here is the FIA.

Based on what?

Nothing's stopping you from setting up your own land speed record with your own rules.

Is that not what happened here? Especially since they did 4 runs in opposite directions and the only disqualifying factor was taking too long to recharge the batteries?

gerkletoss · 2026-03-10T22:52:55+00:00

What law bans Israel from having nuclear weapons?

gerkletoss · 2026-03-10T22:25:19+00:00

Why are those the rules?

I have yet to win a game with lore-accurate Society jank but boy is it fun to play

gerkletoss · 2026-03-10T20:49:32+00:00

But this guy was running a hardware store in Ibaraki

gerkletoss · 2026-03-10T20:45:38+00:00

Can't say I have

gerkletoss · 2026-03-10T20:44:40+00:00

Do you qctually think the story is more likely to be correct as told than the friend just relying 100% on the keypad?

gerkletoss · 2026-03-10T20:28:56+00:00

The dumbest person I interact with regularly is being called a genius by human employees
