What? Combining letters to words and words to sentences?

Well, according to the dictionary and Wikipedia (which I both consulted before posting) the word number applies to both 11 and 1. Since that was not good enough for me I added the words cyphers and digits to bring the point across.

Please explain how you missed that / why you pretended to?

That consists of ….?

You have 10 numbers (or cyphers/digits) and 26 letters (mileage varies by language). You can build infinite sequences with these.

It’s not that hard, is it?

Edit: stupid typo. It used to say I’d, not it’s. (Scribble typing, autocorrect and shit proofreading lead to funny things)

Pythagoras died a ‘thirdgin’ because of this. /s

I.e. you don’t even need algebra to use letters.

According to Wikipedia it was an actual fear that homosexuality is contagious. That belief is probably alive and well amongst idiots.

I always thought it to be more akin to hydrophobia instead of arachnophobia - as in fat reacting to water. Now I think that is to take as fat is neither attacking water nor is it insane.

That’s a different topic though! Don’t conflate collecting funds with usage/distribution of funds. We all need to accept that we have to pay (high) taxes. That the upper 10% haven’t paid their fair share in decades and that there is misuse has nothing to do with my tax rate. We need the upper 10% to pay way way more and we need better accountability for usage of the money. Pretty much regardless of where you live on this planet by the way.

I disagree with tax & rent being lumped together. I have no problem with my (high) tax rate as it supports education, infrastructure, etc. The outrageously inflated rent goes to the same guy that stole 95% of your pizza in the first place.

I love to hate on Americans (in a friendly way) as much as the next European, however American tourists aren’t that bad. This level of stupid assholery is 99% Chinese tourists, the missing 1% is Russians. No hate for Chinese, Russians, anyone that can behave themselves though- they probably hate their fellow citizens more that anyone of us ever could.

Sure, but some are more likely than others. I was hoping for a game of guessing and upvoting.

Let’s have a guess what country that guy lives in. 😉 The post with the most upvotes wins.
