| Topic | Why is Pi [The number thing] so special? |
| Shadow Don 12/27/19 11:41:41 AM #17 | Bad_Mojo posted... Okay, thanks, everyone It's because some infinite sums of numbers can actually converge to a finite number. The series 1/2 + 1/4 +1/8 +1/16 + .... Converges to 1, which is the crux of the Zeno Paradox. It took mathematicians more than a century even after Isaac Newton and Leibniz invented calculus to truly work out some of the complexities of infinite sums. They are really tricky to use if you don't know what you are doing. For instance, if you have a series that doesn't converge absolutely and you try to rearrange the terms you can end up with totally arbitrary results like 0=1. A mathematician famously did that and thought he had a mathematical proof for the existence of god. Bad_Mojo posted... Then why isn't it just 3.14? Why all the other numbers? Like someone already said, it's an irrational number and thus has infinite digits. It would be really inconvenient to have to write out all those digits especially considering how ubiquitous it is in math, physics and engineering. That's why it's represented by the greek letter pi. It's simply the ratio of the circumference of any given circle over its diameter. --- sigless user |

| Shadow Don 12/22/19 10:37:50 PM #13 | Ethosian posted... How can anyone support this idiot? So fucking tired of hearing people pretend that this president has a functioning brain. It really is like a crowd of people telling us that the emperor does indeed have clothes. --- sigless user |
| Topic | Iowa home with Confederate, Nazi displays gets vandalized |
| Shadow Don 12/18/19 10:08:55 AM #134 | Tmaster148 posted... The Fox32News twitter appears to have posted a picture of what his home looks like with the confederate and nazi displays. Who do you think this guy voted for in 2016? --- sigless user |
| Topic | Statistics are REALLY confusing. |
| Shadow Don 12/18/19 9:48:06 AM #26 | Sunhawk posted... Also, explain to me the Monty Hall Problem. It's so confusing that...wtf. This can be really confusing at first but here is an easier way to understand it. Imagine the monty hall problem but instead of 3 doors we have 100 doors. You pick door A and I tell you ok sure... let me eliminate 98 doors and the only remaining doors are A and B. One of these doors is the correct door. Which door do you think is more likely to be correct out of A and B? --- sigless user |
| Topic | Iowa home with Confederate, Nazi displays gets vandalized |
| Shadow Don 12/16/19 6:32:34 PM #73 | DES MOINES, Iowa -- Vandals have defaced the <b>artwork</b> and property of an Iowa man who displayed paintings of Confederate flags and swastikas in his front yard. Fuck you abc news, that shit isn't "artwork", its trash. I also find it VERY curious that these free speech absolutists never have anything to say about the actual nazis in these stories. Supporting a political ideology that wants to genocide people seems to be a much more significant affront to free speech than throwing milk shakes or vandalizing nazi "artwork." --- sigless user |
| Topic | Greta changes her Twitter profile to mock ranting Dotard |
| Shadow Don 12/12/19 10:22:17 AM #35 | HagenEx posted... I don't care about that girl, I think her 15 minutes of fame should have ran out by now, but I have to admit that it is amusing to see how much she triggers some people lol. That's precisely why she's still a thing, so many people lashing out at her. I would have not know who she were if the right wasn't in perpetual meltdown mode over her. --- sigless user |
| Topic | Who are the 6 percent of Democrats who think Trump is better than Lincoln? |
| Shadow Don 11/29/19 4:59:46 PM #12 | The Republican numbers are pretty fucking crazy too. It's unfortunate that most of them wont live long enough to see trump being remembered as historically bad. --- sigless user |
| Topic | I'm liberal but can see why people get pissed at the cable news channels |
| Shadow Don 11/23/19 12:17:43 PM #28 | They are pretty bad for sure but at the same time I can't really blame them for covering Trump so much, its kind of their job. Maybe if Trump didn't do something egregiously stupid or blatantly commit crimes on any day that ends with y then he wouldn't be in the news so much. --- sigless user |
| Topic | House investigating whether Trump lied to Mueller |
| Shadow Don 11/18/19 1:50:30 PM #20 | garlic powder posted... Skype posted...You can investigate two things at the same time. This makes absolutely no sense and doesn't at all address the substance of the accusation against Trump. Once again the cult attacks the process and goes for character assassinations over seriously examining the allegations against dear leader. --- sigless user |
| Topic | So, the whistleblower's lawyer literally tweeted about a coup in 2017 |
| Shadow Don 11/08/19 10:31:15 AM #79 | ThyCorndog posted... [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Watching trump cultists whimper about CNN over and over is amusing considering that trump and fox literally brief each other on propaganda and talking points. --- sigless user |
| Topic | So, the whistleblower's lawyer literally tweeted about a coup in 2017 |
| Shadow Don 11/08/19 9:55:08 AM #32 | I dont give a shit if the whistleblower is the off spring of hillary clinton and satan himself. The whistleblower is irrelevant now as his claims have been corroborated by multiple people on the call and even the memo (which isn't even the full transcript) the WH itself sent out. --- sigless user |

| Topic | People attacking Tulsi is hurting the party credibility . |
| Shadow Don 10/19/19 11:37:25 AM #2 | She thinks the DNC is screwing her the same way they did Bernie in 2016 yet she has polled in the single digits or less since day 1. She is the one hurting party credibility throwing these stupid fucking tantrums when the reality is people just don't like her as much as the other candidates. --- sigless user |
| Topic | Turkey threatening the US over Trump's letter |
| Shadow Don 10/18/19 5:00:50 PM #74 | ResidentECVX posted... Im surprised he actually took the letter seriously instead of laughing his head off. I mean he basically wiped his fucking ass with it and then proceeded to massacre the kurds. --- sigless user |

Like instead of actually addressing the abysmal failure of trumps foreign policy with North Korea the talking point is... "the left would rather have nuclear war because orange man bad!" --- sigless user |

| Shadow Don 10/10/19 9:45:04 AM #14 | Sariana21 posted... When Rex Tillerson is the good guy.... I honestly think Tillerson went in with the full intent of being corrupt as fuck but Trump was a step too far even for him. --- sigless user |
| Topic | I don't get why Republicans are blocking for Trump like this tbh |
| Shadow Don 10/09/19 11:53:06 AM #54 | Combination of sunk cost fallacy and likely some of them having so much dirt themselves that they need to double down on going full blown tyranny. --- sigless user |

| Shadow Don 09/29/19 10:49:30 AM #40 | ledbowman posted... How do you impeach a President who has created the greatest Economy in the history of our Country, entirely rebuilt our Military into the most powerful it has ever been, Cut Record Taxes & Regulations, fixed the VA & gotten Choice for our Vets (after 45 years), & so much more?.......The conversation with the new and very good Ukraine President, who told the Fake News, at the United Nations, that HE WAS NOT PRESSURED BY ME IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM, should by and of itself bring an end to the new and most recent Witch Hunt. Others ended in ashes! If you believe Trump "entirely rebuild our Military" you're a dumb fuck. Full stop. --- sigless user |

Greenland belongs to Greenland," Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Sunday told newspaper Sermitsiaq. Yea I'm sure they would totally love the American healthcare system. --- sigless user |

| Shadow Don 07/19/19 4:30:24 PM #19 | BlkPopeIseem posted... He was obviously asking where the bodies were placed duh Trump told her he would look into it "very strongly." As she started to back away, Trump said: "And you had the Nobel Prize. That's incredible. They gave it to you for what reason?" --- sigless user |
| Topic | Mueller will make a public statement about the Russia investigation at 11AM EST |
| Shadow Don 05/29/19 11:41:58 AM #44 | The Admiral posted... Mueller then explained, citing Department of Justice policy, that a President "cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. That is unconstitutional." Literally nobody on planet earth thinks Trump is the mastermind behind this. What a hilariously sad attempt to sweep this under the rug. --- sigless user |
| Topic | Trump - is he a good President in your honest opinion? |
| Shadow Don 05/25/19 11:01:58 AM #59 | littlebro07 posted... Vita_Aeterna posted...Will go down as one of the worst presidents in history. Only because he is totally incompetent and has managed to do nothing policy wise outside of his tax cuts, which would have happened under any republican president. He is easily bottom 3 and perhaps bottom 2 for the level of corruption in his administration and for the way in which he has sowed division in the country. --- sigless user |
