Entirely reasonable view. However, one possibility is to explain IEEE floating point representation, where numbers do stop.

I shit a lot on the Phantom Menace, but it did accurately predict how most journalists would react to fascism
This is incredible content, it's the same "it's cheaper if you cook / I'm too tired from work to cook" discourse from BlueSky except literally no one posting actually cooks or has a real job, so nobody has any standing to argue either side and yet they're far nastier about it.

Expectations for the next Bond are much too high and it’s impossible to please everyone. Here’s the solution: don’t cast the role. Shoot the entire movie from a first-person perspective, allowing the viewer to imagine that they themselves are James Bond

If the academy gets pulled into coming out swinging against the biggest adaptation of Homer in probably a couple generations off the back of one prominent scholar deciding to be Reviewer 2 to Nolan's work, it will say, IMO, pretty damning things about academia's ability to foster public engagement.
Here's my shakedown of big US bond dealers on how they're thinking about tomorrow's Treasury Quarterly Refunding. Next week's note and bond auction sizes will be announced and, by convention, sizes through October projected. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Bond Dealers Expect US Will Avoid Signaling Auction Increases
The US Treasury will need to increase the sizes of at least some of its fixed-rate borrowing programs next year but is unlikely to signal the shift just yet, according to bond dealers.

I ran into someone on an economic game discord who insisted that the correct definition of “inflation” is the expansion of the currency supply (but not the money supply). Although this is standard internet Austrianism, “currency not money” was a new wrinkle for me.
It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better
The Simpsons is a show that started in the 1980s based on the creators own childhood in the 1950s that continues into the 2020s; fortunately future cultural historians will be able to refer to it simply as taking place in the 'late Washington dynasty'

It must be so humiliating to be running strategy for the IRGC. You run a perfect tit-for-tat strategy, clearly communicated, and maintain escalation dominance, all by the international relations textbook, and you are foiled because the enemy literally can't read.
Syndicate is my first choice, but Patrician III is my sleeper strategy choice. (There was a Patrician IV, but it was botched.) Although I started playing it as “let’s move ships back and forth,” I went down the rabbit hole and learned about optimised automated trading.
