I often wonder if conservatives feed this (granted justified) pessimism in order to get younger generations to not fight for social security.

clearly ask for an EXT formatted drive

get an NTFS formatted drive

Wtf.

It's a controlled experiment, not a population study, so the acetaminophen sample weren't in more pain than the control group. But it's a relatively high dose, and while statistically significant the effect seems kind of small. I'm not sure there's really particularly big conclusions you can draw from it.

Acetaminophen doesn't exactly have a long lasting effect. And this is 1/4 of the maximum recommended daily dose administered at once. I think if people were regularly taking enough tylenol that it has a mass societal effect we'd be seeing a lot more liver failures.

That's like 5-10 turns tops in the early game!

Maybe the walls finished constructing while he was sending his troops across the map. Happens to the best of us.

Yeah, that's the same basic premise of using the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, I'm not sure of any particular pitfalls that come of it otoh. I'd probably mark it correct if I saw it on an assignment and move on. Though I guess it doesn't generalize as easily.

Idk to where the course went, but ultimately what the argument is getting at is that you can map the rational numbers, or pairs of integers (a,b) into the natural numbers without mapping to the same number twice.

Assuming an empty hotel the simplest solution i can think of is placing person k from bus b into room 2^b 3^k

For a filled hotel I'd move everyone from room n to room 5^n first I guess.

"How do you remember how to do this?"

"... I have the documentation I sent you open"
