Science Memes@mander.xyz•Am I entitled to compensation?English
26·8 months agoYes, I’m aware of that, but being irrational alone is not sufficient. There are an infinite number of irrational base-10 numbers that only contain combinations of 0 and 1, for example, and none of them will contain my phone number, credit card, etc.
Not all irrational numbers are normal numbers, and only normal numbers are guaranteed to behave as described in the OP.

48·8 months agoI thought pi hadn’t been proven to be normal, only conjectured to. My phone number isn’t in the digits of pi that we’ve discovered so far, for example: https://www.angio.net/pi/

Technology@lemmy.world•The RTX 5070 reviews are in, and let’s just say people aren’t happyEnglish
14·9 months agoI agree with Steve from Gamer’s Nexus - I think if AMD released the 9070 for $500 instead of matching the 5070 at $550, AMD’s market share would probably double. As it is, we’ll just have to see what the market thinks about $550.
hakase@sh.itjust.workstoToday I learned@lemmy.ml•TIL Australia is home to 10% of the world's reptile species, which is more than any other country.English
5·10 months agoAustralia makes up like 7% of the world’s habitable land, and even more of the habitable land that could be inhabited by reptiles in the first place, so I guess that’s not too surprising.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your favorite quick, tasty, and healthy meal?English
4·1 year ago(This makes 2 servings)
I put one cup of dry beans (either pinto or black) in the pot with three cups of water and cook for ten minutes.
Then I quick-release and add the seasoning and 1 cup of rice, and also usually a cup of frozen veggies, stir, and cook for fifteen minutes, followed by another quick-release. Dish into bowls and add sour cream, cheese, nutritional yeast, whatever you like.
Takes about 40-45 minutes in total, but the vast majority of that is downtime that you can use for other things. Less than five minutes of actual prep/hands on time.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your favorite quick, tasty, and healthy meal?English
16·1 year agoRice and beans in the instant pot with a pinch of Goya Adobo, maybe a bit of sour cream when it’s done. Delish, cheap, easy, low cleanup, and good for ya.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Civ 7 will potentially launch with Denuvo, based on Steam update
191·1 year agoThere hasn’t been a need for a new Civ since IV so I already wasn’t gonna buy it, but now I’m gonna not buy it even harder.
Great question! The answer is that, well, you don’t, but that’s not what I’m intending unstained to mean here.
As it turns out, “unstained” is structurally ambiguous, because English has two different “un-” prefixes, each of which has different functions and different category selection requirements.
The first attaches to verbs, and means “reverse the action of”, e.g. un-tie, un-do, un-stain, etc. The second attaches to adjectives, and means “not X”, e.g. un-happy, un-satisfied, etc.
So, if we want to form the word “undoable”, we can either take the verb “do” and attach “-able” first, giving us an adjective “doable” to which we can then add “un-” to give us “undoable”, an adjective meaning “not able to be done” (“Flying by flapping your arms is undoable”)
OR
We can take “do” and add the other “un-” first, giving us a verb “undo” meaning “to reverse the action of something” to which we can then add the suffix “-able”, giving us “undoable”, a different adjective meaning “able to be undone” (“Simple knots are easily undoable”)So, while both of these look and sound like the same word, they actually have different structures that correspond to the differences in their meanings.
In my OP, you read “unstained” as “unstain-ed”, with “un-” attaching to “stain” to give a verb “unstain” meaning “to reverse the staining of”, and then added the participle suffix, while my intended structure was to attach “stain” and “-ed” first, giving a participle (adjective) “stained”, to which we can then add the other prefix “un-”, giving “un-stained” “not stained”.
This would be more like un-stained glass than stained glass.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•in your opinion which cartoon series timed their cinema movie debut perfectly?English
10·1 year agoTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The movie debuted at the height of turtlemania in 1990 and became the highest grossing independent film ever at the time. It’s also a genuinely good movie.

41·1 year agoGood.
I’m just waiting to see how they fuck up Monster Hunter Wilds at this point.
never use my main for anything
Are you sure it’s your main?
The problem there is that you have to know exactly what you’ve done to mess it up in order to fix the bug, and when I fuck up my system, I usually have no idea what I did.
Dunno why Pythagoras would be mad, since the Pythagorean theorem was known for at least a thousand years before his time.
