Which is why its an insinuation and implication and =/=. Lets be fair would you (anyone) be willing to spend tons of money for a supercar but only be delivered a car that is 99.99..% complete? You get delivered the car but no wheel lugs. @Shpaget prove it. Refer back to my challenge you replied to. Oh btw everything I used for my proofs youre wrong are accepted in the mathematical community by those who agree with me that 0.99 is not 1. So again, if you cannot meet: Then you are factually wrong. Implication and insinuation get used true enough, but, you are ignoring factual reality. You cannot cancel out infinite terms and thus cannot ever bring 0.99 to a whole 1, thus I am factually and functionally correct and will never accept implication or insinuation. Does this make me biased? Yes. Does your stance make you biased? Yes, just the reverse of me. Bottom line: factually I am right. But, that said, I NEVER ONCE SAID: implication and insinuation are not useful. I just said that 0.99.. =/= 1 in a PURELY FACTUAL way and implication and insinuation =/= factual reality. We are all on 2 sides of the same coin. We will never convince the other side. Nor do we have to. I have said now all I can or need to say and will now walk away. 104712192022

Prove it. No insinuation. Mathematically prove it in plain english. With every term canceled out to bring it to 1. While I am not positing a positive reply and am thusly not required to prove the negative, I will support my answer as to why 0.99 can never = 1. 0.999… only tends to 1. It is not equal to 1. We only have an approximation. 0.999... and 1 are not equal because they're not the same decimal. With the exception of trailing 0's, any two decimals that are written differently are different numbers. It's not possible to add up infinitely many things, so any infinite sum is only an approximate value, not a real value. Rebuttal: In proof 1, we cannot cancel the trailing 9's because there are infinitely many of them. We will always be left with one 9. Reply: Cancellation doesn't happen "term by term," where we compare the first 9 in 10A10A with the first 0 in AA. We are looking at the difference of these two numbers, and taking it all together. We get a trailing series of 0's, with no "9 at the end." Yet this rebuttal cancels itself in a rebuttal to a different rebuttal to why your suggestion that 0.99.. is 1 is wrong: Rebuttal: In proof 2, we can't just add the digits "term by term." Reply: This argument is valid in that the perspective that we're adding "term by term" is how we are evaluating the limit. Point is 0.99… is not now nor will it or can it ever FACTUALLY be 1. It can only be treated as an implied 1, but implication cannot now or ever change fact. 101812192022 102612192022

First: 2nd for @Deddly out of curiosity what comics are not readable? Im on an iphone xr and even with my janky vision w/out glasses the strips are legible… 180512182022

.33… isnt 1/3 any more than .99.. is 1. yes people treat it as such, but factually it isnt. 1=/= 0.99 161912182022

Simply put: no. Not at all. 0.9 is never 1. No matter how many decimal places you add, no matter how close you push it, it is not ever going to be 1. To me its that simple. 125112182022 162012182022

@Nazalassa has to now do it twice! I touch the opposite pole making the no song zone into the song zone! alter ego 2. 1 left. Why do i think @Nazalassa is gonna get me to post the third ego as well? 165212162022

@Nazalassa needs to now sing the Very Sorry Song at the post of shame, for: 1 alter ego down, 2 to go 163112162022

New rule: For the next 3 posts after this the user posting must post a calvin and hobbes comic featuring one of the 3 alter egos of Calvin, but you cannot duplicate the user above you. Once an alter ego is posted its posted. Failure means you must sing the Very Sorry Song, dance around the post of shame. 160312162022

@Deddly for breaking the rules you must enter the penalty box and sing the “Very Sorry Song” while spinning since the vortex zone is in the penalty box. 112212152022

@AtomicTech it looks like the backpack is a 1x2, a 2x3 and a tile 2x4. Im wondering if he didnt have a tiled 2x3 in white and needed that 1x2 to even out the 2x4 tile? But im just speculating on the parts used 180812142022

What funny/interesting thing happened in your life today?

<sobs uncontrollably> im so frustrated by my current flight. 737-700 from my city to LAX. A sector ive flown before. Today just setting it up has nearly broken me. I used simbrief and as part of my flight plan it gives a cost index, which is how hard the plan needs to work. I was given a CI of 70 then 71. This CI broke my autopilot and I had no clue it was the CI. I just knew my LEGS page was missing data, my route was broken and my VNAV refused to turn on. Seems a CI that high on this flight is impossible. I set to CI 40 and so far things seem to be working. Will update once i take off and reach cruise if my VNAV works. 161912142022 just took off. VNAV, LNAV, CMD are all active and on…. I really just want to scream… why is the 737-700 this cranky? 163112142022 ok fun edit this time! Im cruising at .804 mach at FL380 and ATC calls out a traffic alert. Had an aircraft about 3 miles out at FL390 to my 10oclock. I hear the ATC give that aircraft the alert about me. I hear its call sign and go check flight radar (i fly with live weather and live traffic when not on VATSIM, if on VATSIM only live weather) and i nearly pee myself laughing when i see it on flight radar. That aircraft is headed to my city in real life. Thats an actual first in MSFS for me! To get alerted in a SIM about a real aircraft headed to my city. Sure ive heard the atc clear real flights to land and take off in the sim at my cities airport or at other airports but to pass one in flight headed to my city is a first! Whee 170812142022 -
What funny/interesting thing happened in your life today?
AlamoVampire replied to Ultimate Steve's topic in The Lounge
I was out driving around earlier tonight and witnessed some instant karma! I drove past a fast food joint and a car pulled out. The driver failed to turn on their headlights. The drove like this 3-4 blocks when they drove past the most perfectly placed sheriffs deputy. I spotted the deputy long before this driver and began slowing. I think I surprised the deputy because I was already stopping to let them out before they lit up as they actually stared at me for a few seconds before going after the lightless driver. This is one reason the newer cars out there bug me. In the older days the numbers and stuff on your dash could be seen in daylight with out needing to be backlit and only lit up at night AFTER turning on the headlights. Now a cars dash is either an lcd screen or the dials require backlit illumination and are lit all the time. This is yet another feature cars simply do not need as it is yet another disconnect for the driver. Blind spot indicators, self parking, lane departure assist, autopilot, full self driving and dashboards that are lit regardless of headlights being on or off. Modern cars are making us worse and more dangerous behind the wheel. Sorry to go from instant karma to a mini rant… 222112132022
