Odd place Bosnia.

Here people generally talk about the weather and their health and other peoples health and all sorts of other mundane this and that, but rarely if ever mention logic.

Soft European southerners...Proper Canadians switch to seal blubber.

And the barber visits a gay grooming salon in another town, where his friend Alfonso gives him an a close all over shave, before he dresses up in Alfonso's favourite lingerie...Such is a logical hypothesis Gottlob.

Why does 1 = .999...

It doesn't actually...It's a bit like comparing English brie with French brie, and will only matter to a Mathematician or an Affineur.

Except it does actually, one divided by 3 is point three repeating, point three repeating times 3 is point nine repeating, therefore one exactly equals .9 repeating.

1/3 = .333...

.333... X 3 = .999...

1=.999...

In simple terms .999... is always .1 and as many relevant 0's as necessary, short of 1.

No, "as many relevant 0's as necessary" implies a finite number, but a repeating decimal is an infinite process, saying "as many relevant 0's as necessary" is like saying the necessary number of times you must traverse the perimeter of a circle to get to the end, there is no end.

The equation exemplifies incompatibility and simply has to make do.

It only demonstrates the incompatibility inherent in representing fractions as decimals because converting some fractions like 1/3 or 1/9 to decimals results in an infinite loop.

Yes, you just exemplified everything I stated...We have to make do with .999...

I'm not sure, but banning AI means banning AI art.

Hmmm...Yes, all very temporary...Ludditism indeed.

Do you think that it will be necessary for another intelligence to fashion itself in our image.

Will it regard us as Gods, or just an inferior predecessor.

Hi Debby,

That's true - but hear is another question - is the belief a condition for eternal life or a gift of eternal life? A small clue would be to check the Greek.

Hi Trade.

Yes, it was usually a Greek.

Fed up with the classical pantheon I suppose.

There are cheaper methods.

In human terms, everything comes under the umbrella of clever/stupid...Though progress never stagnates...Two steps forwards, one step back...Steady as she goes.

But we're here now, so will alternative intelligence be as cautious?

I'm a bit out of touch with such things, so tell me, has technology actually exceeded the on/off switch?

The Old Testament does not portray the coming Christ as a God, but a Messiah a human anointed leader from the line of King David and not as God incarnate.

it is only in the New Testament is Jesus exalted to God.

Maybe once upon a time in Middle Eastern tribal folklore.

And yes as I suggested, Christianity is a later Europeanised theo-political derivative.

And over yonder, Hindu's for example had other ideas.

Are they each God or are they parts of God? Cuz first one means you got 3 Gods.

Made up nonsense Lucy, designed as a method of mass subjugation by expanding Roman Catholic and later Protestant theo-political business empires.

It was once very easy to mesmerise uneducated yokels with clever cliches...Still mesmerises numpties to this day.

OMG, is SatanLucy a Trumper?????

No, I just don't believe in science, math and logic. These are usual characteristics of a Trump supporter, yes, but I am not a Trump supporter. I support Mao's China.

Well, certainly in terms of predictable outcomes, "belief" is somewhat futile....Though you have have previously, readily taken science, math and logic on board.

SO BK AKA Lucy is typically contradictory, just as modern China contradicts in the name of Mao...But hey, the masses need a figurehead, hence the Orange Clown in the red hat...Though I'm not sure that I've got a figurehead...and I'm not greatly into mass participation, if at all... What do you think?

As I point out from time to time, "BIG BANG" is a very loose epithet coined to represent a theoretical proposition.

So, BIG is relative to what?...And BANG is relative to what?...No one knows...And faith is irrelevant.

But did you know that some people faithfully accept that the BIG EVENT was the work of a MAGIC MAN and occurred sometime within the last 10,000 years...Such is a much better example of leaping.

Nonetheless, RED SHIFT is just happy hands, is it?

The phrase "baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" comes from Matthew 28:19 in the New Testament of the Bible

Yes, a section of the Christian rule book, loosely attributed to an unknown Jewish scribe sometime in the latter part of the 1st Century, and then some time later attributed to a guy referred to as Matthew...Though "Matthew" is in fact an even later anglicised derivative...As is "The Bible".

And for sure dunking people in water and chanting mystical things is a ritual that certain types find meaningful...Though it must be pointed out that in a vain search for meaning, ignorant people have long since entertained all sorts of daft mystical and non-mystical practices and chants.

Or was it, "not necessarily required"?

I would suggest that the RC Church set this precedent and that it lasted for a very long time.

You paint a bleak picture.

Yes I see what you are driving at...Catholic paedophilia and abuse was once the norm, but brave people eventually stood up and challenged it.

Did J..J. Geoghan ever confess?

And very very soon indeed, it will be next year.

And we can all sing "Imagine" by John Lennon and feel all warm and friendly for a nanosecond.

Remember when the Germans and British stopped fighting and played football in no-mans-land...How jolly civilised.

Yes, beast from the east, but only lasted for a short while...Followed by wet windy milder weather off the Atlantic, so a rapid thaw and flooding.

Haven't had a prolonged freezing winter in a long while...

Trouble is, the media exaggerates weather, all the time...So this summer was the best for ages in my opinion...But of course, too dry, drought warnings and wildfires started by twats...Media sensation.

Foggy weather these past few days and yep, we're all going to die in the fog.

Yes...Go Brewers.

So Debby, is that what you expect from your mom?

Does she still have to wipe your backside for you? (Metaphorically speaking)

A Zedku on the theme of FLRW.
