you need to make your hands sticky for it to work
what if the M1 doesn’t have a touch screen though
it’s floor 5 from monday to wednesday, and floor 2 from thursday to sunday
i wonder why people haven’t made a language that starts indexing at 2 yet. maybe some day
i wish the people making buildings around here knew that. some start at floor 3, others at 5. some start at 0. others at 2. every building has its own story. you need to understand the building before you can understand your position in it.
do you also have minced tables there?
i would try it. i like strawberries and i like pasta, so why not
he’s in a better place now
people can’t be in two places at once
gone but not forgotten….
the name seems to be an unfortunate choice that stems from their historical usage as “a means to an end”. i.e, they were first used as part of a method to find some solutions to cubic equations. this method would require algebraic manipulations of complex numbers, but the ultimate goal was to discover a real root. the complex roots would be discarded once a real root was found (if it existed).
the wikipedia article attributes the name to Descartes:
… sometimes only imaginary, that is one can imagine as many as I said in each equation, but sometimes there exists no quantity that matches that which we imagine.
which i think helps to highlight how skeptical the people at that time were about the existence of the “imaginary” numbers.

i’d strongly recommend reading the history section of that wikipedia page to anyone interested in the topic, it has some pretty fun history
you also can’t drive it on the roads too much or else the tires will go bad

libertarians are conservatives with even worse critical thinking skills.
most conservative arguments fall apart when you ask 3 consecutive questions, but it only takes 1 or 2 questions for the typical libertarian argument
not if you line things up right
“damaged by gunfire” is a weird way to frame it. it puts a bit too much emphasis on the property damage side of things and not enough on the terrorism side of things.
