I don't know where you are in Europe, but from my experience basketball is popular in France and courts are everywhere.


Do you remember how accurately you were able to measure the gravitational constant?


asymptotically close as you add 9s, but 9 repeating means you DO add an infinity of 9s, so it equals 1.

The reasoning that persuaded me initially was 1/3 is .333 repeating, 2/3 is .666 repeating, and 3/3 is .999 repeating.

Your tone comes across as sarcastic, yet I cannot believe you haven't met at least several people who have used computers for 34+ years who didn't know you can change some basic setting.


Slight correction- Maine and Nebraska do not have proportional systems; they both use the Congressional District Method. Each congressional district votes plurality for an elector, and the 2 remaining electors go to the statewide plurality.

Pretty sure I can get close to mapping that to solving the halting problem


The key word is "decimated", as in, "decreased by 10%"


More like 90+%. https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/oil-and-petroleum-produc....

Fuel is by far the largest use of oil. Things like plastics and other oil products are a rounding error compared to that.


The correction was "decimated" literally means "decreased by 10%".

If you meant a 90% decrease you should have said.

Your link shows transportation in the USofA uses 67% .. that is not 90%, not in the USofA and not globally. Even so the linked article I posted talks of Electric Vehicle use increasing resource demand as more EV cars are built between now and 2050.

EV cars are not the full total of "Transportation" (in the USofA or indeed elsewhere) - a large chunk of that Transportation goes to mining equipment used to estract resources, the use of which will increase to meet resource demand created by EV growth.

With climate change increasing global unrest and decreasing security there will be greater military demand for fossil fuel reserves and use globally - I understand the use of batteries et al in the military and the cold fact that the energy density of fossil fuels is unrivalled.

I appreciate your enthusiasm, your word use and arguments could use some work.

You should know, such a mechanism was invented thousands of years ago...
