So that weird trend of the manufacturung of the bottle probably making up most of the price of a bottle of perfume goes back to the roman empire‽

Dare someone smarter than me explain what the ever loving fuck is going on there?

But that's how the "contract" explanation "solves" the paradox. Nobody is inherently tolerant. I'm just tolerant towards you because our social contract ensures mutual tolerance. One "clause" of the contract is however that I don't have to be tolerant towards you if you breach the contract with anyone else. Or in other words, if I see you being intolerant, I have the right to be intolerant towards you, too. Whether I'm "obliged" to be intolerant towards you is another question, but you could construe it as another "clause" of the social contract.

There's some joke about pointers here that I'm not C++ savvy enough to make.
I'll let you workshop it.

It's great to see that there are experts on all kinds of subjects in the fediverse. <3

I see what you mean. If it werent for the edge with the dark background it would be hard to tell where the edges are at all.

Thanks for the answer. My searches on the internet just brought up mathematical graph theory.

It's so cool to see what simple yet clever tricks they used to use. The tricks used today are probably still very clever but definitely no longer simple.

Absolutely not an expert or anything, but is it possible that the partition of your harddrive that you're trying to install Debian on (hd0) is too small?

Can you explain what vertex coloring does? Like does it create a color gradient between vertecies? And how does this help with making... "things" round?

"Look, I still like you and wish you the best, so I want to help you maximize your chances to move on. This really helps both of us."
Yeah, I can see it.
