It’s not.
I usually go into zapper mode on ublock to remove the pop up without agreeing, but they probably treat that as “accept and continue”. - Comment on Galaxy Brains 3 days ago:

Just switches and numbers, no foreign language support, no screen reader, no tool tips, no drag and drop, no night mode, …
The only convenience feature was converting metric to imperial for display. - Comment on Chaotic Evil 2 weeks ago:
Should have used display port instead of HDMI because from certain angles you only really see the rectangular side. Not that I ever tried to plug a USB thing into mine.

I haven’t seen many clips, but the effect on me was more humanizing than anything.

Have you tried fresh banana picked a minute ago?
No, but if climate change keeps accelerating, I might be able to eat a home grown banana. Unless the gulf stream breaks of first, in which case I can heard reindeer.
Both are horrifying to think about. - Comment on Smells Great 4 weeks ago:

While it could be read as 40*(1/4), it actually means 40+1/4. 401/4 would be true madness.

There is a reptile cannel on YouTube (think it’s called clint’s reptiles), that does annual skeleton reviews for halloween. The worst I can remember are where snail and octopus.

Had I not woken up then, I wouldn’t have remembered it at all.

Writing mine down so I don’t forget it:
Do you know those picnic huts that are all roof and open on one side?
Well in my dream I was going to supper with friend and family, came across a hut and felt adventurous.
So I climbed it to balance across.
Something I have done before irl.
proofBut in the dream it was very long and crumbled under my feet in slow motion like in an action movie.
I didn’t make it all the way across before waking up. - Comment on it's true! 1 month ago:
Moskitos live anywhere there is stale water, so either clean it or have it wild enough that other insects outcompet them.
Put your compost pile somewhere you don’t walk past a lot, because that’s where flies congregate.
Ticks aren’t that mobile, they need some animal to carries them there. - Comment on Anon watches Lord of the Rings 1 month ago:

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.
- Comment on In this essay... 1 month ago:
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 1 month 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.
- Comment on In this essay... 1 month ago:
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... 1 month 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 1 month 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 month 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).

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 2 months 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 2 months 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.
