If that is a dick, it looks like it has some very serious STDs.

So… the dead server controls who is even able to enter the building? Wow. That is one big juggernaut of a problem heading for you.

Why not just not have gaps and have overlaps instead? Works in civilised countries. It’s not like the technology doesn’t exist.

I wish people who posted youtube links would say what they were linking to.

Not sure if you’re conceding the monoid part or not.

We can agree that the natural numbers are a semigroup, I think, which should make us all happy.

I think you’re trying to explain to me what zero means while I’m trying to explain that it’s not where numbers numbers start of from. It’s where array offsets start (but making humans make that distinction instead of compilers is on obvious own goal for language designers who weren’t intending to make off by one errors more frequent). It’s where set theory starts, but it’s absolutely not where counting starts, and number starts with counting. It’s not a natural number.

I think round the world, children and adults start counting from 1. It’s only natural!

They’re not a complete algebraically closed field either, but I don’t see you advocating for including e - i in the natural numbers!

Natural numbers include zero

Only if you’re French or a computer scientist or something! No one else counts from zero.

There’s nothing natural about zero. The famously organized and inventive Roman Empire did fine without it and it wasn’t a popular concept in Europe until the early thirteenth century.

If zero were natural like 1, 2, 3, 4, then all cultures would have counted from zero, but they absolutely did not.

Conservatives:

What is this woke mind virus? Up to yesterday I thought I was a man, then boom, I read something on social media and now I’m worried that I might identify as having no plans to purchase a new vehicle! My wife is still sleeping but I don’t know how she’s going to react if I share these feelings with her.

Hey, I just realised that there’s already a word for mind virus, and it is MEME!

I’d better confiscate my kid’s phones immediately. Man, they’re going to be pissed. I mean, person who has no plans to purchase a vehicle, they’re going to be pissed. Wait, THEY have no plans to purchase a vehicle! Neither does my wife! My whole family! I’d better vote for the most insane right winger who promises to ban the Internet!

Is not 12+12Z the exact same coset as 0+12Z? Is 12 not the identity element? Must group theory follow computer science conventions?

That’s fantastic and I want one, but it’s a BCD clock. Binary would say 01100 001111 101101

I wear my headphones doing household chores because I find them really boring and want to entertain myself during it.

DO NOT come to interrupt me. I don’t want to stop listening and I sure as heck don’t want to go back to the annoying chores after the pointless interruption.

I won’t tell if you won’t tell.

If I understood, I wouldn’t have to ask.

Yes, but if they’re just minimums, there’s no need for even using the third dimension, let alone the fourth.

I do.

So the fifth person to arrive moves to the centre of the tetrahedron and shifts roughly 1.299m into the past or future.

I have a few questions.

1. How do you attain time offset?
2. Doesn’t that make conversation difficult?
3. What even is the fifth dimension?
4. How do you convert a distance in metres into a distance in time? You would surely then have a universal m/s? Oh, wait, there is a universal speed, it’s the speed of light, which means 1.299m is equivalent to about 4.3 billionths of a second, which is considerably less impressive for question 1 and just not at all problematic for question 2.
5. If you’re using very fast motion for your time offset, doesn’t that make conversation even more difficult? How fast would you need to be going to dilate time for a few billionths of a second? Doesn’t Heisenberg uncertainty start to have an impact here? How can you be sure you got it right?

It’s not a square based pyramid, it’s a triangular based pyramid. Imagine the top right hand one floating up onto the air and moving to hover above the centre of the other three (which move to make an equalateral triangle). The distances work but the layout changes.
