Should she have stayed and essentially worked as a nurse until he died?
Just because they where in a relationship early in life?
If the illness didn’t happen, they might have fallen out eventually, but because one is ill the other is morally bound for decades?If that’s your moral standard, you better spend every free minute of your life volunteering and every spare cent on charity, otherwise go fuck yourself!

While it was probably not the best use of our time, it certainly made me think about relations and algebra in more interesting ways than the last uni course did.

But I am not taking about an amount of different things, but a parallel or branching number line being part of the set of natural numbers.
I am not talking about modular arithmetic on its own, but as part of the set of natural numbers.Under the missing axioms those constructs would be part of the natural numbers, including an
xin N such thats(x)=xand thereforex+1=x. While some might think this implies0=1, it doesn’t, because we don’t have the axiom of induction, an thus can’t provea+c=b+c => a=b.The usefulness of such a system questionable but it certainly doesn’t describe the natural numbers as we understand them.
- Comment on IT'S A TRAP 4 days ago:
There are also an infinite number of rationale between two integers, but the rationals are still countable and therefore have the same cardinality as the naturals and integers.

I know how how natural numbers work, but the axioms in the comment i replied to are not enough to define them.
Not sure what you mean by ‘loops’
There could be a number n such that
m=s(n)andn=s(m). This would be precluded by taking the axiom of induction or the trichotomy axiom.If we only take the latter we can still make a second number line, that runs “parallel” to the “propper number line” like:
n,s(n),s(s(n)),s(s(s(n))),... 0,s(0),s(s(0)),s(s(s(0))),...
there are no natural numbers that are negative
I know, but the given axioms don’t preclude it. Under the peano axioms it’s explicitly spelled out:
0 is not the successor of any natural number - Comment on In this essay... 5 days ago:
That axiomisation is incomplete as it doesn’t preclude stuff like loops, a predecessor to zero or a second number line.
- Comment on Why does information want to be free 6 days ago:
Hoarding information is like hoarding any other resources.
Information is unlike any other resource, it can be shared without taking away from the giver.
Hording it is not about protection what you have, it’s about intentionally depriving others with no benefit to your self other than keeping up a power imbalance. - Comment on Anon makes games 1 week ago:
[…] why not have a watch sized device that can store insane amounts of power?
Because Hiroshima was leveled by “only” 20 MWh (cost ranges from 120€ in northern Scandinavia to 1010€ in Greece) so having people carry energy wallets with enough to make more around day to day is like paying your groceries bill with C4 (which is perfectly save as long as there is no primary explosive).

He wanted to show that AC lines with their heigh voltages are dangerous, as he sold low voltage DC power.

I know, but otherwise there is no use for the knowledge that we live in a simulation. Unless someone can contact the outside of course.
- Comment on IF YOU TAKE ENOUGH YOU CAN SEE *THE PATTERN* BRO 3 weeks ago:
The only thing one could do with knowledge of being in a simulation, is trying to find bugs and exploits.
From now on, I expect anyone claiming we live in a simulation to have a working perpetual motion device, faster that light communication, or something similarly impressive. If they don’t, their claim is meaningless. - Comment on The Nutty Putty Cave System 3 weeks ago:
Should have gone with the rising star cave, with the homo naledi fossil location.

If an animal gets shot with lead, survives and runs away, there is now a wounded animal or an animal carcass containing lead somewhere in the wild.
If it is wounded or freshly dead a carnivore will eat it and accumulate lead. That may be large carnivore or a smaller carnivore that later gets eaten by a bigger one. Birds tend to have stronger stomach acid that most mammals, allowing them to dissolve the lead better.
Vultures having it the worst as they will eat any carcass and have the strongest acid. - Comment on Who is the enemy? 5 weeks ago:

Same thing with lead shot accumulating in large birds birds.

Yes, for mild winters and plentiful harvests
Bastards, we need harsher winters over here. Otherwise the moskitos and invasive species get even more numerous.

Just go with a typical fund and donate the amount of profit that makes you feel good with it to a good cause of your choice.

“Three Germans meet - they found an association (Verein)”.
Stop spreading misinformation on the Internet!
Everyone knows, that while 3 is the minimum membership (§ 73 BGB), 7 people are required to found one (§ 56 BGB). - Comment on Are the research projects for long-term storage already deployed? 1 month ago:
Unless you want to carve large holes in granite, your best shot at the moment is something like the Arctic World Archive.

It was build in 41 and bombed in 43, which is what I alluded to.
- Comment on be gay, do computers 2 months ago:
The first (turing complete) computer actually build was the Z3.
Not many people know about it, because central Berlin in 1943 was not a healthy place for a computer. - Comment on sardonic soup 2 months ago:
Because the tree would need to grow 100x as big. People often forget, that the carbon needs to go somewhere and in a tree that is mostly the wood.
A fully grown forest is just full and can’t take up more CO2 unless you take some wood out. That wood need to be used in construction or turned into charcoal and buried to make sure it can’t be turned back into CO2 by rotting. - Comment on GET BOMBADEERED, IDIOT 2 months ago:
No you don’t
You just have to make sure to terminate the line with two spaces. Unless you have a different markdown renderer than the web interface and most apps.Or does line break mean empty lines to you?
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 2 months ago:
Berlin has 1.4 times the population of Toronto and a train system comparable to Chengdu.
Our tram network is proportionally bigger than Toronto. It could be a lot better but all trams in west Berlin where removed while the city was divided. - Comment on the unseen worlds 2 months ago:
