my mom just got an inflatable pool and showed it to me and i said "why do we have that" and my brother came up and saw it and asked "why do we have that"

Man, I accidentally used a racial slur. It's not even one that was part of my normal vocabulary. But somehow it slipped out.

It was more egregious than using "gyp," but it's along those lines. I somehow blurted it out.

So weird that growing up with normalized racism could let me casually leak one out 30 years later.

Yep.  My mother uses these tiny racial slurs all the time, and I'm sure eventually I'm going to accidentally use one.

My PIN appears somewhere in pi, right after my birthday in unix time.

I should probably be worried about identity theft, because my SSN, PIN, birthdate, and credit card number all appear in pi directly one after the other.

Guys, I hate to break it to you, but while it's hypothesized (and probably likely) that pi is normal, it's not proven yet.

I checked the first 200M digits of pi and my SSN was not in them, but you'd expect to need a billion digits to find most SSNs (on average).

Also, oblig:

Yeah, but like, how stupid would it be if pi weren't normal? Almost all real numbers are normal.

Not strictly speaking "almost all," though, because there are infinite real numbers which are not normal.

I'm assuming that liopoil meant almost all with respect to Lebesgue measure. 

Which, I imagine that's true, though I don't know for sure.

This is what I meant. I read somewhere that it'd been proven, though I have no idea how. Seems plausible though!

Okay, I suppose it's possible that it doesn't appear in Pi, but the chance is vanishingly small.

But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

Seriously, though, "almost all" sounds vague and informal, but has the precise meaning of a set whose complement has measure zero, where the measure is typically Lebesgue or whatever is most natural in the given context. For Lebesgue, sets of measure zero can certainly be infinite, even uncountable.

yeah, I got the gist of it :P unfortunately I've not yet had the lebesgue measure taught to me. The only time I heard "almost all" defined was by a prof who claimed that "almost all" = "all but a finite amount"

which is a bit of a funny definition when taken literally, because then you can say stuff like "almost all humans have horns" and it's true.

I'm about to start playing Chrono Trigger for the first time, something I probably should have done about 10 years ago if not more. I'm excited. I know small amounts about the game, like something tragic happens to someone called Frog - from the context it sounds like he gets killed and Lavos is the final boss and causing chaos throughout time but mostly, I know very little. I've also heard one or two of the music tracks before and enjoyed them.

Chrono Trigger is a pretty great game - it's just a really solid JRPG that doesn't drag on for too long.

I liked that after a certain point, you got to pick when the game ended, and got different endings depending on when you did so.

Just be careful that you don't spend too long on                                 Moat                                   

Also, no, you're wrong, this joke never gets old.

Is Titan's spoiler a legit Chrono Trigger related thing though? But to answer the questions, yes.

Yeah, it is. Although it's not a plot spoiler, and mostly applies to New Game +.
