    Let’s assume you can stack the apples, and passing through both is still 1 stroke. That means cutting through 10 could still be considered 1 stroke.

    Stack the apples.

    Cut entirely through the top one directly in half.

    Continue cutting through the second one.

    As you cut through it, one of the people takes the top apple, rotates it 60 degrees, and puts it under the bottom apple.

    Finish cutting through the now top apple and continue cutting through the now bottom apple (the original top that was already in half).

    Repeat this until you’ve cut each into 6 pieces like this (picture not mathematically accurate, for visual purposes only).

    Give everyone 4 each.






  • It’s because paying isn’t the issue. I’m not rejecting streaming on the basis of price (though, the current price of paying for even a couple at once doesn’t help), I’m rejecting it on the basis of it being a fractured, inconsistent and lacking service that fundamentally acts against the interest of its users. If a streaming service offered the same things stremio+debrid does I’d happily pay 10x the price.

    People used to pay others for burnt DVDs and CDs back in the day if they didn’t have a pc with a burner themselves. Same thing really.


  • 100% agree. I no joke own about 900 games I haven’t played between steam (most bought when I was young and naive, probably bought like 10 games in the last 10 years now I know better), epic free games, and playstation plus monthly “free” games (not even counting the catalogue you now get access to), yes they’re technically not entirely free but I’d be paying for plus regardless so they kinda are.

    Now as a lot of these games weren’t chosen by me, by no means do I want to play them all, and some are duplicates across platforms. But if even 10% interest me, that’s still 90 games. I probably play games at a rate slower than 1 per month. That’s years of games to me. And more will be stacking up in that time. I haven’t bought a game in like 3 years and it’s entirely possible I’ll never buy a game again at this rate.

    It’s believed to be true to a high degree.

    Pi is infinite. It’s also believed with a high degree of certainty (but not proven) to be a normal number, which basically means all the digits are evenly distributed over the infinite series. So if that is true, there would be an infinite number of 0s. Theoretically it could suddenly turn out to not be normal after a certain amount of digits are found, and then 0 could just stop entirely after a certain point, but this is incredibly unlikely.


  • I’ll just keep buying second hand cars. My current car is 20 years old, bought it when it was 10 years old and it’s still going. Put away $20 a week or whatever you would have been paying on the loan and you’ll always have a fund to get something. Treat it like a loan too, you can’t pull money out of the loan you’ve been paying, so don’t touch this money either unless for the most dire of emergencies.
