ConsulCaesar: So half the freezing point of water is -136.575 °C.
This makes sense to me.

Hooyaah: If one looks to their right and then travels that direction away from the exact center of the north pole, what direction are they traveling?
From the north pole itself, every direction of travel along the earth's surface is of course south, by definition.

TwoHandedSword: If 0° is the freezing point of water, then what's half of that?
The freezing point of water is actually 32°, so half that would be 16° (around -9° for those using that other system).

(If you want a serious answer, it woud make more sense to use the Kelvin measurement, in which half the freezing point of wayer would be below -100° in the units we generally use in daily life.)
Problem uninstalling The Witcher. I get this message.

Runtime error at (-1:0):
Cannot import dll <utf8> GameuxInstallHelper.dll

How do I make sure the game is uninstalled and not using any space on the drive?
Format the drive and reinstall the OS. Always worked for me.
Yeah, I imagine that'd solve it, but I was hoping for a less radical solution if possible.

Divide by zero and find out.

tinyE: HOW IS IT WE CAN PUT A MAN ON THE MOON BUT WE CAN'T MAKE COLD MEDICINE THAT DOESN'T TASTE LIKE THE ASS OF A DEAD RHINOCEROS!?
Jokes on you. The moon tastes like the ass of a dead rhino too. The real question you should be asking yourself is "How did those damn rhinos get there before us, and how can we get to the next place faster than them." I think the only reason they have the lead for the time being is that their noses are a bit more aerodynamic.

ZyloxDragon: Does a pair of pants refer to 1 item, or 2 items?
Depends on if you breathe heavy more than once. Also if you want more than one leg covered.

tinyE: Any Bible scholars here?
Nothing faith oriented, I'm looking for some timeline information.

I just had a guest check in, and when I told them my cat's name was Ramesses, she said "Oh from the Bible."
I said, "Well, I learned about him in history class."
She replied, "And your history teachers got it from the Bible."

This is where I need a little help.

My cat is named after Ramesses the Great, which as I have always understood it, is assumed to be the pharaoh from Exodus. If he is, wouldn't it stand to reason that while Ranesses is in The Bible, he's not from The Bible, because he existed before it was written.
Many things in that book have chronological errors. Most very deep theological historians can tell you as much. For instance the entirety of the 12 apostles didn't even exist at the same time as Jesus. Around 4 of them were within the same timeline roughly but often not even at the same time. Often many would input their "books" or text of walking with Jesus several centuries after his death. Also little more known was that the AD timeline's zero is about thirty years off. So Jesus was still up and walking about until about 27AD.
What do you call a city whose wealth never depletes?

I'd like to know: is Fort Worth a place actually worth living in?

cose_vecchie: I'd like to know: is Fort Worth a place actually worth living in?
The answer to that very much depends on you.

Texas is very hot in the summer, and Fort Worth isn't that cold in the winter either, although very occasionally there is a little bit of snow. Expect a range of -1° up to 42° C (30°-108°F).

The cost of living is lower than NYC or LA, but not by as much as you'd think. Traffic can be a nightmare, and while public transportation (by bus and train) exists, using it on a daily basis can cost more than having a car.

Keep in mind that even though Dallas and Fort Worth are often presented as one singular megacity, they are actually more than 30 minutes apart, with several smaller towns in-between. One of those smaller towns might be more ideal for you, depending on your circumstances.

Your best bet is to already have a job lined up before you move there. Apartment hunting shouldn't be so bad, since the majority of the real estate agencies charge the landlords to find tenants, rather than the other way around.

Also remember that Texas is by and large a conservative state, with old-fashioned values. Country is by far the most popular musical genre; and while the cities (including Fort Worth) are somewhat multicultural, the main vibe is going to be Deep South combined with Tex-Mex.

It's up to you to decide if you'll be comfortable with that. If at all possible, I'd recommend vacationing there for a week, to get your own feel for what it's like (and possibly to contact some real estate agents and potential employers directly).

Now I feel ashamed for asking that silly question in light of your very articulate, detailed and exhaustive answer, which it didn't deserve and for which I thank you.
Why does every answer on the show Jeopardy begin with "What is...?"

My bad. I took your question at face value, and didn't catch the pun.

Of course it's worth it. It says 'Worth' right in the name!

(At least, if you can af-Fort to live there.)

Hooyaah: Why does every answer on the show Jeopardy begin with "What is...?"
It doesn't. There are also "Who is...?", "Who are...?", and "What are...?" Sheesh.


Can an omniscient being create a number so transcendental, that even He doesn't know how it ends?

In other words, does God know the final digit of pi?

An omniscient being doesn't necessarily have the ability to create things.

Your second question is like asking whether the being you call "God" knows the first note of John Cage's famous work 4'33" is, or what the second even prime is. (In other words, that question is wrong because it is asking about something that doesn't exist, and the deity is not what I'm talking about here.)

There's also the problem that the phrase "an omniscient being" can't actually refer to anything; if there is such a being, which I'll call X, there is one statement, which I will call Q, that I can make. Statement Q is: "According to X, Q is false." Some logical reasoning concludes that either Q is true or that X knows Q, but not both. If Q is true, then X can't know it and therefore can't be omniscient. If X knows Q to be true, then Q is clearly false, which means that X has false knowledge, which contradicts omniscience (or at least makes it useless).

karasutono: Divide by zero and find out.
I divided by zero and got multiple answers. Now what?

(Dividing x by zero is equivalent to solving the equation y * 0 = x for y; if x is 0, then we get multiple solutions.)

(Also, in the "never" topic I posted a proof that division by 0 is impossible (assuming arithmetic is consistent).)

I agree that that book is inconsistent. There are two different accounts of creation, for example, and many other inconsistencies.

Did you see my "nothing serious" PC build topic, by any chance?

Anyway, where is the best place I can order a QEMU Virtual CPU 2.5+ and have it shipped?
