    Imagine a shortsighted wolf with dirty glasses. Cleaning its glasses would make it a more effective predator, right? The same applies to the vacuum which is why you shouldn't clean it.

    It's a little more specific, I think the patent is about:

    • mounting either an air or ground mount
    • when riding the air mount, going close to the ground transforms it into the ground mount and you keep riding it

    But that's still something multiple games have done in some way I think.

    "I don't hate group ABC. I just hate group XYZ that happens to be almost solely composed of members of ABC."

    Next you will be arguing why hating blues, jazz and rap with every fibre of your being isn't racist.

    And to further show why your analogy doesn't work:

    P(Person being white | Person being male) = P(Person being white).

    Being white and being male is unrelated and separate (<=> statistically independent), unlike being a furry and being queer which is actually related as mentioned earlier.

    Fully agree, but the way it's worded makes it seem like log being a text file is the issue. Maybe I'm just misinterpreting intent though.

    I have no clue what you're trying to say. How many women are men?

    Exactly zero, because (excluding certain trans identities for the purpose of simplification) there is no intersection between the two groups. Talking about what it means to be a men doesn't involve a single woman, therefore it doesn't apply to them.

    Hating a primarily queer subgroup has very much homophobic implications, the same way the war on drugs is obviously racist:

    We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or Black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and Blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities

    Ok, but the second tweet is a bit redundant

    Like what else would a .log file be? A video file? A Word Document? An executable?

    Do you really need to inspect the properties to be told: "This .log file is certainly containing text. Thank you for installing Windows 10. Save 5% on your Office 365 subscription with code 'ILOVEMICROSOFT'"

    50% of mythology is just fetish, just check out Greek mythology. People most definitely masturbated to mythology in the past based on the amount of fetish oozing out of the stories.

    You can't tell me the ancient Greek equivalent to furries didn't think Zeus transforming into animals and fucking was hot.

    Not wearing a helmet on a bike isn't that unreasonable though. I've seen studies that show a positive relation between a cyclist wearing protective gear and cars driving more aggressively around them. So you might actually be less likely to have an accident than when wearing safety gear, since the vast majority are caused by car drivers.

    I genuinely believe the NSA et al is targeting those who attempt to avoid all targeting more than the average person. It's difficult to avoid being tracked, it's nearly impossible to additionally blend in with an unsuspicious façade. Might as well become a secret agent if you're capable of avoiding the NSA's gaze.

    I don't get what you're saying. Why wouldn't floor 0 be in the building if we started assigning numbers to floors?

    Yes, but I was talking about assigning numbers from a logical perspective, not a conventional one.

    Also, why is it called B1 for the first basement floor but not E1 (for elevated) for the floor above ground floor?

    You are completely wrong.

    Imagine assigning to each floor a whole number.

    Every time you go down a floor, the number should be decremented by 1, every time you go up a floor the number should be incremented by 1.

    In order to get symmetry, floor 0 should be the ground floor - not floor 1. What maniac would assign floor 0 to the first basement floor?

    But the first few values are:

    1 + 1/3 + 1/6 + 1/10 + 1/15 + 1/21 + 1/28...

    I really don't see any pattern there showing why it converges to 2 exactly

    Edit:

    After thinking some more, you could write the sum as:

    (Sum from n=1 to infinity of): 2/(n * (n + 1))

    That sum is smaller than the sum of:

    2 * (1/n^2^) which converges to π^2^/3

    So I can see why it converges, just not where to.

    For Celsius, 0 is freezing cold and 100 is boiling hot - that's intuitive too.

    I have literally never felt 0°F in my life and couldn't tell you how cold it is, just that it's very cold. I believe everyone has a rough understanding how 0°C and 100°C feel though.
