All of the tasks are pointless. The boulder rolls down, the hotel for sure can accommodate him, the ship will be reborn. Which is most pointless seems to be the paradox now. “Is he happy?” implies that pointless tasks please him.

Yeah. It would have been depressing if the name was only on the tattoo and he was saying the wrong name. Maybe make him old as well to imply dementia. Hell, make it a cat tattoo and have him specify “You weren’t a good boy, but the best boy” to imply a dog and really drive it home.
I dunno. Just spitballin’. But I agree, as it stands, it’s more sentimental than sad.
Seriously, my first thought was “which of the numerous probes?” Haven’t we “known” this for decades now?
Gondor, stop burninating the countryside!
Ok fine, I’ll give you a cookie too…
Just doing my civic duty
I gave 'em a cookie. Now they’re happy :D
Sounds like a lot of people in Florida are about to become homeless too… I dunno, I say they completely, 100% enforce the laws right now. You didn’t fight against this bullshit because it “doesn’t affect me”? Well now it can affect you. Ticket everyone. Waste everyone’s time. It was so important to do this, then fucking do it. Be the fucking clowns you are. Ticket people who lost their home, who are camping in their front yard. What, they’re having a bad time right now and we should be generous? That’s homeless people all the time.
Suspending the law because it’s a weather emergency is bullshit. It’s being suspended because it might affect voters. Just trying to cover their own ass when they need it and shafting anyone else when it’s convenient.
Exactly. Eventually what we see now as cutting edge will become “bare minimum” or even “obsolete” hardware one day. Eventually the camera on your cell phone will by default be taking such high resolution pictures that anything less that a TB of onboard storage will seem quaint.
If you want to search and index it, you don’t want to do that on tapes. It’s doable, but difficult. And what benefits tapes gain in reliability/long term storage, a RAID system would negate. Cheaper large SSDs make these kinds of systems more economical to the average person.
The issue is, every time we make a great leap in storage medium, we tend to use that new storage for BIGGER files. Higher quality media and all that. Back in the day, the average movie file was measured in the MB. Now it’s GB. Think about an old floppy with 1.4 MB of data and how many text files you stored on it. You couldn’t ever imagine needing more space. Then came pictures and music files. Video files. Then higher resolution picture and video files. Suddenly even your text documents aren’t just raw .txt files, but Word documents and interactive PDFs.
As storage improves, what we expect to be able to carry around with us or have in our home computer changes. I’m currently running a home server with 18TB of storage. An amount that I would have never dreamed of possessing 20 years ago, and yet here I am debating when I grab that 24TB drive because I can already see me running out of space in a few months.
This is all to say that I really don’t think there will ever be a maximum amount a user could need. Give them that maximum and in a week they’ll have figured out a way to use it to capacity. I think video games and cartridge/disk size limitations and then the transition to digital games and balloning game size shows my point.
The purpose of the cap is to BE the lid. Otherwise it’s a bottle.
Except the original study wasn’t properly vetted for decades and it really set us back because we blindly followed the wrong path. Science institutions failed this time around. In this case, the money was more of a tragic loss.
I see your logic and had the same thought, but then wouldn’t a “No stopping at anytime”/“No parking” sign accomplish the same thing? “No Loitering” sign as well. If the point is for the cop to be able to point to a sign, those already exist and are much more broad and easy to use(or misuse, depending on your perspective). Like others said, an absolute minimum speed limit seems destined to harm pedestrians. Plus, you can see it’s before a stoplight. So not even logical.
I’m betting this is a fake sign.
“the choice is arbitrary”.
Except it’s not as many other have pointed out. You’re just confused and trying to spread your confusion to others. Yes, advanced math gets complex, that’s advanced math. Don’t drag trig into this when you’re just confused.
Also “I don’t use bottle caps or cars”? Seriously just buzz off with that. You don’t live anywhere where you’re not using the simple machine of a screw. I hope Archimedes is rolling clockwise in his grave right now.

Fair point. Car wheels are a bit of a bad example. Probably shouldn’t have included them, but I’ll at least argue that means that 50% of wheels are clockwise and 50% are counter, so it negates itself.
Tighten = on/activated. You use a cap buy putting it on to seal the container. You out a screw in to join the wood. You do the thing it’s meant to do in a clockwise fashion.
What’s the purpose of a cap? To keep things in. The purpose of the spout itself is to let them in.
Clockwise wins.
Ummm… Have you ever used a screw? Bottle cap? “Right tighty, lefty loosey”? A car wheel when going forward? Literally 99% of things tighten clockwise.
You’re the person people have to say “no, your other left” a lot to, aren’t ya?
I think the point is to highlight that the other person is refusing to participate in the process of democracy. He’s giving his opponent the choice to actually show up, or he can be represented by a characature. It’s up to him. Don’t like it? Then don’t say “you’re beneath me and I won’t even acknowledge your existence”. Takes two to tango.
