    @klaus True. Let’s say instead “due to all the work done to explore whether Goldbach’s Conjecture is true or not, we can safely say that...” Since Goldbach’s conjecture has been verified up to ~10^18, and we only need it to hold up to 198, that should work.

    @larry said in What a way to spend Christmas: @xenon said in What a way to spend Christmas: @larry said in What a way to spend Christmas: @xenon said in What a way to spend Christmas: @copper said in What a way to spend Christmas: Yes, of course that is the bigger problem The man-child thing He is a man-child That is how he built his business, by being a man-child That is how he became president of the United States, he is a man-child That is all he is, a man-child That is the problem, the man-child So being POTUS and having money absolve you of character flaws, or mean you can’t have character flaws? Trump is a whiny, small man. Having money doesn’t change that. A "whiny, small man"...... Jesus. Oh you’re right. He’s a magnanimous man who lets irrelevant slights roll off his back. He doesn’t do anything that’s beneath the office he holds. I just think it's funny watching a whiny, small man complaining that someone else is a whiny, small man. Well you shoulda recorded yourself typing this out, then put it on repeat. You’d have non-stop laughs.

    I just watched this documentary, Knucleball, last week on Amazon Prime. Niekro plays himself in a few brief appearances. There are not many knuckleballers left. Everyone tries to throw it, very few actually make it. We had a catcher who used to throw knucklers back to the pitchers as a joke. It drove them crazy, it was hilarious. https://www.amazon.com/Knuckleball-R-Dickey/dp/B08F2RJXFD/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=knuckleball&qid=1609122683&s=instant-video&sr=1-1

    It’s not acceptable to me, I would remove it immediately.

    @george-k i too have found this season depressing and much nastier at portraying the Windsors.

    It's not difficult. I've raised $10K in two different grants for my alumni association in the last couple months. All of my documentation emphasized that we were a very low overhead all-volunteer charity that was in no danger of going under. They have no resources to validate these things.

    Don't worry. It is safe to assume that congress will print them as much money as they need. And forgive their debt.

    Fraser-Urquhart and his fellow volunteers will be paid about $5,300 for their three-week stay at the hospital’s specialist diseases clinic, where they will be monitored around the clock, the Mail Online reported. Needs many more zeroes...

    @mik I tried to read The Stand in, oh, 1988 or so. I just couldn't get into it, and gave up about ⅓ of the way through. It really soured me on King, and then I thought I'd give him another chance with Salem's Lot. Wow, wow, wow, what a great story.

    @larry said in If the Wise Men were from Minnesoooooota: @brenda said in If the Wise Men were from Minnesoooooota: But of course they're not from Minnesoooooooota. There are very few Wise Men in Minnesooooooooooooooooota. And no virgins......, Maybe that's why we have so few wise men. They're too busy to get wise about anything.
