            what i’m mad about is that you can divide by infinity and get zero, but you can’t divide by 0 and get infinity. make up your minds maths people

              Oh you totally can (as long as you’re working with implied limits, which you have to if infinity is in the mix), you just have to specify if it’s a positive or negative zero.

                  i mean, implicitly it’s just whether you’re approaching zero from positive or negative direction, since we’re working with limits.

                  Like you can shave down a stick however much you want, you can never reach 0 stick by doing so.

        I really enjoyed it and just reaatched it a year ago. Great show with a unique approach. Sad that there aren’t any current shows that are similar indeed.

        I really didn’t like her as an npc in 2 tbh. She was best when she was borderlands version of shrodingers cat. Maybe alive, maybe not, but always leaving recordings. Gearbox tried to hard to make her “the funny autistic” and ended up making her a bit character instead of part of the world you’re in.

    The paleontologists in the Jurasic Park. When I saw the movie for the first time, I thought they were unrealistic and very mad. Who would go straight to a giant herbivore like Brachiosaurus or Triceratops? Surely they would be aware of the huge danger, right? Then I got to know a few zoologists and yes, this is exactly what a field zoologist would do. They would also survive, magically.
