Think you are too late mate, they are all around us. They come talking sweetly and seduce the minds of the smart and brave so that they become blather...

I doubt that many would call two or three stones a pile, but who knows. The same applies here as I said above, if the piles of stones already had a la...
March 04, 2022 at 02:46
Giving them a label is the key there, if the number label where part of the stone no one will need to "give" them anything Of course it could be repla...

Yes. No, I cannot remember even mentioning it. We were discussing the materialistic qualities of numbers, which is no existent.

Which natural forms are the base for books? On which natural form is animal training based? And how does this all intertwine with the OP?
March 02, 2022 at 00:40
But it is not always necessary to have physical representations. I would think that it would be impossible to have a man made physical object without ...

You two must be the oldest bullshitters in the world, at about 120 years old. :lol: :lol:

Before that was invented we used to play on 2 pieces of paper. Draw lines with a pencil to form a grid, letters on the top numbers down the side. But ...
February 27, 2022 at 17:38
The positional grid is not a material thing, it is an abstract. And numbers are also abstract ideas that have physical representations or icons so tha...

Did you ever play battleship? The numbers are part of the positional grid, not properties of the object.

Yep, that's the one I heard and saw. Maybe Mick's voice is the reason for it, but you can find the lyrics all over the internet.
February 18, 2022 at 02:16
Thinking about it, it might actually have made more sense.
February 18, 2022 at 02:01
Typo, been playing too much Wordle. I fixed it. :lol: :up:
February 17, 2022 at 15:34
Did you notice the mistake in the video?
February 17, 2022 at 01:00
No, something more important is why the pot is black, could be racist to make any comments about it if it was born like that. :wink:

A good guide for those with doubts. https://www.thepoke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Flowchart-Choosing-Your-Religion.jpg

Let's try this without pronouns and see what happens. "Holy fuck hurt! 'm scared as shit, the hell is place??! was so warm and safe back in there, how...
February 11, 2022 at 23:29
Actually, that is what happens. Babies do figure things out by themselves, that is how they learn to communicate. It also works for multi language hom...
February 11, 2022 at 02:29
Agreed, but this would then depend on variables such as final location, route taken, distance from starting point, time of day. It would not be standa...
February 08, 2022 at 00:04
I am not a hundred percent sure about the way you describe the idea, but it sounds like an idea I read in a science fiction series some years ago. I t...
February 06, 2022 at 21:56
and you did not read the article. That is why you are claiming it is a paradox. Taxi fare is not calculated by the drivers hurrying to reach the desti...
February 06, 2022 at 21:46
I already did that, and provided a link to the information. If you cannot do the same, then I think that you have no case to fight and that the discus...

I bet they are not happy when someone has a heart attack in those pranks.
February 05, 2022 at 01:07
Show me where you found this.
February 05, 2022 at 00:54
But both amounts are calculated using the same method, so this cannot be true. The payer's bill is calculated on the amount of time it takes the payee...
February 04, 2022 at 00:59
Yes, some people use it to describe things that don't make sense. But I cannot think of how to justify its use here. Can you? It is explained more or ...
February 03, 2022 at 00:18
Do you think politicians really care about things like that? :wink:
February 02, 2022 at 00:06
So you do not have a paradox. At least not the one you stated. Neither part actually contradicts the other.
February 02, 2022 at 00:05
Brown maybe!! :lol:
February 02, 2022 at 00:02
Politicians are famous for having their thumbs in many pies and for having that in places where the sun never shines.
February 01, 2022 at 03:06
You pay to be taken somewhere. Taxi meters are not calibrated just to take into account the distance traveled, but the time is also taken into account...
February 01, 2022 at 02:59
The same as it is for most people I suppose. A statement starting with something apparently true that leads to counterintuitive or unacceptable conclu...
February 01, 2022 at 01:24
No paradox at all, just different points of view on what is happening.
January 30, 2022 at 03:55
Ain't that the truth mate. But what does mine say about me?
January 16, 2022 at 03:58
Yep, but maybe some of that shit are the opportunities we don't recognize. :wink:
January 12, 2022 at 00:58
That would cause a paradox.
January 05, 2022 at 03:01
Can't wait.
January 05, 2022 at 00:46
Yep, for a couple of years at least. I had the third shot about two months ago and they say I will be getting another in February. I am supposed to be...
January 05, 2022 at 00:45
I wonder how much difference it would really make. All I need to do is make sure that I do not pay attention to my mates when they tell me to show the...
January 05, 2022 at 00:42
Happy new year to you as well dear lady. OK, now out with it. I need to get back to some time before 1970 so that I can stop myself having an accident...
January 04, 2022 at 03:19
Happy new year to one and all, even if you don't deserve it. :wink: We all have another chance to be the person we should really be and do the things ...
January 04, 2022 at 03:16
:smile: Hi there too, hows things been?
January 04, 2022 at 03:12
I only want to know how you are going to do it! And Can I get back to somewhere between 68 and 70?
January 04, 2022 at 00:38
I am still around, somewhere. I have been running around in circle doing decorating, repairs and some building in the house. Then falling into bed ear...
January 04, 2022 at 00:35
Happy Christmas to one and all, and if you do not like that then humbug to you. :wink:

I did enjoy. Congratulations on a job well done. :100: :ok:
