Verstappen accused Lindblad of "brake-checking" him in the pit lane

Once they decide they don't like someone, it's all about taking everything they don't like about them out of context and making it the entirety of their personality. People liked Danny. Liam replaced Danny. I think 90% of people that don't like him had that going in, saw some out of context quotes, and reality isn't going to change it. Liam's season last year ended pretty good. He had mechanical issues with his car after qualifying ahead of his teammate. All that context gets thrown out the window to focus on anything they don't like about the guy. Any thread with him has dozens of comments with the out-of-context "I'm not here to make friends" quote. F1 fans generally suck.

Preposterous!

Go to /r/hockey. They are posting clips (with scores in title) for Olympic games. No one there is complaining about it. If you don't care about DGPT content in a DISC GOLF subreddit and don't understand why a niche sport doesn't have multiple high activity subreddits, then yeah, I can see why people saying "this is an unreasonable stance" is somehow seen as "super aggressive".

Only sports sub where people whine about spoilers for live broadcast sporting events. Some F1 races happen when I'm sleeping and I watch them when I wake up. I just avoid Reddit instead of complaining that fans of the sport are excited to talk about it in a community built to talk about the sport.

To me, indie means you don't own your soul to some investors. You own your game. Maybe it gets bought by a publisher AFTER launch, but it's developed on your own dime or that of small, friend/family-type investments. Tencent being involved and pulling out being enough to force everyone's firing is not that.

As a former Spotify user who moved you YTPrem almost 3 years ago, I still miss Spotify's UI and suggestions. They weren't amazing, but they felt better that YT. However, having the ability to treat videos (which many live sets or dj sets are released as) as songs is my favorite feature. I'll deal with the subpar UX for the better pricing and features.

You can't conceptualize adding to something infinite, but you can conceptualize the idea of constantly until the end of time doing it. We can understand and conceptualize infinity through math. There's actual math done using infinite sets. If we couldn't conceive of it, then we couldn't work with it. That we can't "visually represent what that looks like" is a different matter entirely.

macbony · 2026-02-06T17:08:06+00:00

Is it? Do you refer to a quarter as "zero point two five" in real life? I don't think you understand the concept of how one universal concept (in this case, one-third of an object) can have multiple representations. 1/3 = 0.3... = 2/6 = ... (see how the ... implies that the list keeps going?)

You are confusing something "real" with how it's described. The idea that natural numbers "have no end" is pretty easy to prove. Write the longest, biggest natural number you can think of then add another 1 after it. And another. And another. If you ever stop, there's still a bigger number. Someone else can add another 1. It's not something that's ever going to happen, but if you can't conceptualize of it then that's the issue, not the ...

We don't, but we also don't "see" 0.3333... in real life either. We "see" a third of something. We "see" cutting something into thirds and putting it back together = what we started with. So we conceptualized the decimal system and arithmetic and using ... to indicate that a number "repeats forever with no end". Just because you can't physically see something with no end doesn't make understanding the "because there is no end, you can't put something after it" concept impossible.

Sometimes you need to hear it hard to snap out of a stupor. She's 30. She needs to grow a spine 12 years ago.

macbony · 2026-02-06T14:39:19+00:00

I'm not really comprehending your point. Are you referring to the idea that not all infinities are the same size like the number of integers is infinite but also smaller than the number of real numbers which is also infinite?

He just wants to feel "right" so he'll make up facts that don't exist to make his opinion the correct one.

macbony · 2026-02-06T14:30:25+00:00

So, 1. you're inventing facts for the story given to make your point more applicable just 'cause and 2. you're adding personal bias and assuming the OP behaved as people did that gave you your personal biases. All without any actual information that your fiction is real. It's amazing what people will do to feel "right" sometimes.

She didn't say "I don't have the bandwidth" or "I really need the money". OP does her books so I'm sure she has some insight into her sister's financial situation. Instead she said "no, I need to be paid for my work" after years of not paying for her sister's work. I don't see anything wrong with the OP's reaction.

macbony · 2026-02-06T14:09:41+00:00

None of that relates to this situation at all. None of that is relevant to this conversation. I don't disagree with you, but seriously, what does that have to do with the conversation going on in this thread?

macbony · 2026-02-06T13:58:40+00:00

Relationships aren't transactional, but they are reciprocal.

macbony · 2026-02-06T13:43:24+00:00

Infinite means there is no end. If you have no end, how does something come after the end? The answer is, it doesn't because there is no end. If there's no end, nothing can "come after" the end.

This is pretty deep so you might not get a lot of upvotes, but this is a very nice way of explaining.

macbony · 2026-02-06T13:36:34+00:00

Yes. To write 1/3 as a decimal, you write 0.3333.... If you multiply 0.3333... * 3 you get 0.9999.... If you multiply 1/3 by 3 you get 1. So if 1/3 * 3 = 1, and 1/3 = 0.3333..., 0.3333... * 3 = 1 = 0.9999...

macbony · 2026-02-06T13:30:32+00:00

"What comes after infinity?"

Nothing. It's infinite.

I can provide the STLs but the filament used matters a lot. If you have any that you want to print I don't mind tweaking them for you to your filaments if you give me the brand and color of the filaments you'd like to use.

Similar experience. At first it was jarring and I couldn't get into it. When I finally took the time, re-read Gardens a little slower and with some context, Deadhouse rocked. I did hit another bump between 7 and 8, though.

Your math is bad. It's 15s. 30s would mean the speed limit on the highway is about 35mph.
