The discussion centers on the splitting of larger threads to alleviate server load, with a focus on the continuation of a previous thread. Participants engage in light-hearted banter, celebrating a trivia quiz and discussing various topics, including creativity, humor, and personal anecdotes. One member shares a humorous proposal joke involving a "trivial ring," leading to a deeper conversation about mathematical concepts and the nature of "nothing." The conversation shifts to personal experiences, including frustrations with the medical system following a wisdom tooth extraction, highlighting issues with prescription management and insurance complications. Members express their opinions on dental practices, particularly the necessity of wisdom tooth removal, with some viewing it as a financial racket unless there are complications. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of humor, personal stories, and commentary on broader societal issues, maintaining a casual and engaging tone throughout.

I usually drive 5 to 10 over the speed limit. But, when I get tailgated like today, I go exactly the speed limit. :devil:

I just take my foot off the gas and see how slow the tailgater wants to go. That's a huge pet peeve of mine. Tailgating me is very counter-productive.
I do the same to people who are behind me with their brights on.

There's a lot of traffic related things that are my pet peeves. So many people just have no sense of manners on the road. They may be nice people in person, but in a car, somehow they don't realize what they're doing is completely rude and/or dangerous.

I don't remember where it was but I remember a thread once where someone was whining about the car in front of them spraying their freshly washed car with windshield washer overspray. I wrote that the only time that I'm ever that inconsiderate is when the person behind me is tailgating. While that post got a lot of comments and laughter, the OP never responded. :rolleyes:

For the highbeams, I usually adjust my side mirrors so that they point directly back at the offender. If they're just clueless, that usually wakes them up. If they're rude, then they get bothered by high beams in their face and pass. Either way, it works.

Let x=0.9999999...

10x-x=9

x=1
 
  • #127
the only way it can be true if it's some kind of notation thing where 0.9(9) is another way of expressing 1 or something. If you do 1 - 0.9(9) then it's 0.0000000000000000000000000000000...since there is no last nine in the subtractor, then there is no 0.00...000001 in the sum.

That's exactly what it is.

Any subsequent post on the subject in this thread will end with an infraction.

It has been discussed to death on the forum in the past. Sadly, it attracts crackpots that don't understand math at atll.

I think the cost per DU* is very reasonable.



*DU = delicious unit

I was just looking at an old cookbook from the 1970's, curry was "fashionable" and a recipe for chicken curry was just chicken mixed with creamed onions and "add 1/2 teaspoon" of curry powder. That's it, nothing else, not even a hint at what was in the "curry powder". Did I mentioned the chicken was from a jar? I've never seen a jar of chicken, I've seen canned.

I never made that recipe.

I tried a new cheap curry recipe recently that was made from bananas and used English tea instead of stock. The mix of spices was ok but on a whole it was vile.

I don't watch much tv but I'm feeling rather sad that I've finished all my (current) favorite series. Guess I'll have to clean the house whilst i procrastinate.

I have to eat chicken curry almost every day, and I'm fed up with it. :(

Anyone want to trade places??

I have never had an authentic curry, they look and sound delicious, someday, I will try to get to an Indian restaurant, the last time I attempted to go to one nearby, it had closed and the space had become a nail salon. :frown:

LOL :smile:

Since you've never had an authentic curry before, I have one advice for you: make sure that it's not too spicy! :-p

I've heard that they can get quite hot, I can't tolerate too much heat.

Just tell'em that when you order the food.

Only if you know what the staff mean by "hot" :smile:

There are plenty of Indian dishes that aren't "hot" at all. But the chef might be from a region where "mild" means "90% ghost peppers and 10% meat", compared with "hot" meaning "99% ghost peppers and 1% meat".

Ah.. I have to admit that I wouldn't know what to do in that case. However, I can handle hot spicy stuffs (even though I not a fan of it).
