  • Yes, sure it can. Mashed/blended spaghetti bolognese or lasagna are available as baby food.

    Baby food products are basically just ordinary food blended and packed in smaller convenient portions. Simply look at the package to see what it contains.

    Cat and dog foods are completely different kinds of food, which is often made from animal biproducts and not suitable for human consumption.

    Let’s have a look.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_number

    In mathematics, the irrational numbers (in- + rational) are all the real numbers that are not rational numbers. That is, irrational numbers cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers. When the ratio of lengths of two line segments is an irrational number, the line segments are also described as being incommensurable, meaning that they share no “measure” in common, that is, there is no length (“the measure”), no matter how short, that could be used to express the lengths of both of the two given segments as integer multiples of itself.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics

    Quantum systems have bound states that are quantized to discrete values of energy, momentum, angular momentum, and other quantities, in contrast to classical systems where these quantities can be measured continuously.

    The conclusion is wrong, i agree. That’s the joke of the meme.

    (Keep down voting if it matters to you. I’m only trying to explain a joke. The top post is in agreement with my statement.)

    The definition of irrational numbers is that they are the real numbers that are not rationel. So we need to look at the definition of real numbers. A real number is a number that can be used to measure a continuous one dimensional quantity.

    Quantum physics says that reality is not continuous. Particles make “discrete” jumps instead of moving continuously. So irrational numbers can’t exist.

    Why then are all living things trying to work against entropy?

    I am not just talking about human intelligence or behaviour, but every single living thing is trying to organise chaos into a habitable frame for themselves to survive and expand. Survival of the most symmetrical or whatever.

    The point is… Why did every atom in the universe arrange to make cells to make organisms to make life to make intelligent life to counter entropy, if it was just entropy happening? Some say that life is just a temporary disease, but then why do these functions even exist, if they’re not “supposed” to be used?

    I don’t think “the universe” has a say. Shit just happens, and it doesn’t have an explicit reason to be chaos nor structured. Both are extreme cases of idealistic outcomes. If we assume that either will succeed, we have to ask what happens “after” and also “before” the universe.

    I used too many double quotation marks. That’s because quite frankly, I think it’s a contemporary lullaby storyline. We won’t ever know.


  • The entertainment system in most cars are separate from the actual car computer. You can just turn it off, or only use the radio. I think it’s only Tesla where it’s necessary to use the screen in order to operate the car.

    EVs however is one place where it makes some sense to have some software connection to the car, if you want to time the charging to the electricity price or set a tine to preheat and such, that’d be difficult to make with physical buttons. I’d prefer just to have an simple app for it, because I really dislike the proprietary software in the cars.


  • I had that same issue. It turns out that my entire house has tilted ever so slightly at some point in the past.

    I had the gutters replaced this year, but even the carpenters had difficulties understanding the issue. The boards behind my gutters are sloping inwards in a 45° angle as it was customary to do in the 70s when the roof was changed, so when they moved the gutter downwards they’d also move them inwards, which inevitably resulted in the lower end being too inwards to catch the flow from the roof. Despite several attempts to explain this, it was apparently too difficult to grasp. I’ll see if it works with the summer rains, otherwise I will have to adjust them myself, by inserting incremental increasing sizes off spacers between the boards and the gutter hangers… it won’t be pretty, but at least it’ll be mathematically correct and functional.
