    Actually “whole numbers” (at least if translated literally into German) exist outside America! However, they most absolutely (aka are defined to) contain 0. Because in Germany “whole numbers” are all negative, positive and neutral (aka 0) numbers with only an integer part (aka -N u {0} u N [no that extra 0 is not because N doesn’t contain it but just because this definition works regardless of wether you yourself count it as part of N or not]).

    Not a Czech but now that you mentioned it I want this here too!

    I mean have you tried counting from either end using all your fingers i.e. thumb == 1? That dexterous shit is hard so making a single index finger two instantly makes it nice and smooth!

    (Instant edit: this obviously only holds if index finger+ middle finger counts as 3, otherwise there really only seems to be an advantage in calling out 2 and my argument collapses)

    Optimistic take: because they just rearranged it to equal 0 by subtracting something from both sides as is often done in “these quantities are conserved” types of equations in physics!

    So we still don’t know the true purpose…





  • Now I want to know wether the rules allow you to stand perfectly inside your mirror image (don’t have a 5th ed./any other D&D ed. rulebook to check myself, sorry)… Because if it does (without going all wavy or otherwise distorting) and it casts a reflection this could be a fun “find the hidden vampire in this banquet hall with mirrors” scenario!


  • IANAL and this obviously won’t happen (because it’s one of if not the stupidest way to go about it right from the get go) but still:

    They can literally demand any and all European ISPs block all their traffic, they can still raise the fees and if they don’t pay accrue interest/late claims on it. Will this change anything? Not immediately, but the moment that company does anything the courts can reach they are in a whole lot of trouble.


    Anyway besides this are there really companies that are so US centric that a European court can’t (like really absolutely can’t) reach them?
