  • I don’t understand why people drink water uncarbonated. I got mytself a soda maker, though as the water is just fine here. I usually only add a drop of lemon juice.

    I don’t get people binging on liquid sugar drinks. Only a hint of syrup gives my bubbly water the idea of sweetness.

    I wouldn’t buy this crap though, I’d happily drink it for free.

    Not really, though. Big numbers are a separate branch of mathematics. A googolplex, for instance is more than the number of atoms in the observable universe, but it’s way smaller than grahams number.

    What it counts is not exactly the point is more of a definition exercise of what the upper bound is of what we can imagine it put in words. Sometimes it has functionality, such as the largest Mersenne prime.


  • Elsevier is one of the biggest publisher of scientific magazines. Scientists are supposed to publish in those to be taken seriously as a scientist.

    Most scientists publish for free, do peer reviewing for free, whilst Elsevier asks big bucks from every academic institution for the right to access those articles.

    So OP thought it’s an apt comparison to most YouTubers making content for almost free as YouTube profits from publishing it. I kind of agree.





  • Well that his being handsome is ameliorating the situation, somehow.

    Maybe not sexist per se, buy it’s not entirely fair in a way. The brazenness of the expression is unchanged, and that people get a free pass due to their looks is sending the wrong message.
