The fact that something is continuous rather than binary doesn’t make it a less useful distinction whatsoever. That’s like saying temperature is a rubbish metric because stuff can’t be exhaustively classified as “completely cold” or “completely hot”.

“Created the entire modern world” — erm no, not even close. He didn’t even have much of an impact on electrical technology. Who exactly do you think Tesla was..?

I think an analysis of his remains showed that that was unlikely.

Though a film about Archimedes would probably focus extensively on the sieges of Syracuse in which his weapons played a role?

Came here to say Archimedes as the most blatantly filmable scientist in history. I don’t think that’s true of just any other ancient Greek thinker — most of them probably lived pretty boring lives. But Archimedes? First off he is the single greatest thinker of the entire period, basically inventing calculus and also…

What’s the term or terms for striated clouds like these? Why do they form? Been seeing a few recently in my area.

Oh... you’re saying she’d be a hypocrite for not releasing it? Okay, that makes sense.

Yeah, analogy makes complete sense. That’s why a Reliant Robin is practically indistinguishable from a Hummer.

If you’ve ever seen the way ink spreads immediately after it’s injected into water, you’ll notice that it bears a striking resemblance to the billowing plumes of Calbuco. As Nicole Sharpe explains at FYFD, that’s no coincidence.

You’re on the internet.

But Apple changed their policy...

Yeah, it was noted at the time that Taylor’s open letter “criticising” Apple was actually sickeningly deferential. It sounded like she was writing a letter to Gandhi or something. Interestinggg...

Where do cars come from on flat motorways?

You think iPhones are so expensive because of the materials cost?

Yeah they definitely require two hands, good comment.

Congrats on communicating poorly?

But if I see 9, I’m not sure how silence will help me determine if my co-prisoner saw 1 or 4 villages.

That’s the puzzle.

The numbers are really pretty much irrelevant to the puzzle. The challenge is in working out how there could be any kind of logical strategy, not manipulating numbers.
