I looked into container houses and I’d absolutely love a house that I can move from city to city. Moving without packing shit up. I just wish they weren’t as heavy and a bit wider.
I’d also love the idea of “stacks” where you can slot in your container home into a vertical grid. The problem is that you generally want your entry to be on the long side, so you’d need lots of corridors in such a stack.
Right? It was such a roller coaster ride with rather empty calories. But to be honest I didn’t like the book that much either, more like the start of an interesting universe. The first novel in The Culture series wasn’t that great either.
No, only ambiguous bones that could be anything and are interpreted to be dinosaurs by old earth creationists making you believe the earth is older than a millennium. Most bones are actually from giants, unicorns and centaurs depending on the color.
That’s like saying Huckleberry Finn doesn’t exist. Just because it’s made-up doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It exists as a concept which billions of people understand.
The Sun’s position on the ecliptic at the vernal equinox is not a “concept”, it’s a physical reality, recognised by the International Astronomical Union.
And the astrology signs exist as a concept as recognized by thousands of years of human history dating back to Babylonia 2 BCE. Yes we understand that they’re likely completely bogus, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t exist.
Disagree on the semantics. Physical realities are concepts as well. “Energy”, despite being an extremely useful physical measurement, is an abstract concept. “Physical realities” and “concepts” are not mutually exclusive nor antonymous words.
In this case, the Aries/vernal point is a concept used to define coordinate systems using physical measures from Earth.
I think it is pretty clear in the context of the joke that they weren’t saying the concept doesn’t exist they were saying the attributes of the concept doesn’t exist.
Wait I’m confused. You’re upset that somebody brought up a problem without a solution, and you’re upset about the idea of possible solutions to this problem.
Seems like you just don’t want to talk about this particular problem and have a traumatizing history of failing to convince people to not talk about it or the solutions.
I’m telling you I’m not upset, you just aren’t used to someone being direct and coarse. Anyone can list all the problems with the world and spend their life complaining about them. It’s just pointless unless you have ideas to help and I’ve upvoted those posters who did have ideas. Now go clean your vag out and stfu biotch ;)
Na, you are a whiny little bitch and you know it ;)
You can dish it, but you can’t take it. You could have simply denied my claim that you aren’t interested in talking about the problem/solutions. But instead your “direct” dumb ass played the “Who’s upset?” game.
I do appreciate the willingness to hear possible solutions problem though. I think your frustrations with what ifs are valid.
Sorry about getting uppity, but your initial post sounded a lot like the kind of people who want to cause more suffering in the world by denying these problems exist. You got to put those people in their place, you know.
The funniest thing about NaNs is that they’re actually coded so you can see what caused it if you look at the binary. Only problem is; due to the nature of NaNs, that code is almost always going to resolve to “tried to perform arithmetic on a NaN”
There are also coded NaNs which are defined and sometimes useful, such as +/-INF, MAX, MIN (epsilon), and Imaginary
