I love cat logic. Laundry hamper with clothes in it = comfiest bed in the word. Box with old clothes in it = "I don't need your charity." -- nm

December is the best month of the year for our cats. - David Dec 12, 09:14
looking for logic from cats is a fool's errand -- nm - prisoner 24601 Dec 12, 09:04 12
- Yeah. You ask them if 0.99999999999999.....=1 and they say "that's right, homeboy" -- nm - prayformojo Dec 12, 09:10 11
  - Here's what bugs me about the .9bar = 1 argument. Would .8bar also equal 1? - TWuG Dec 12, 09:14 10
    - no. -- nm - znufrii Dec 12, 09:40
    - 0.8bar = 0.9, no bar. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 12, 09:20 8
      - Eh, this is not right. Even if it was, it would have to be 0.888888(acceptable level of precision)88889 -- nm - Beryllium Dec 12, 09:33 2
        
        That's the thing: "Acceptable level of precision" - TWuG Dec 12, 09:36 1
        
        But, because we know that 0.333bar is 1/3, we could bounce it back to fractional format and get the answer of 1 -- nm - Beryllium Dec 12, 09:58
      - *shrug* Maybe. But if one infinity can differ from another infinity then infinity means nothing. -- nm - TWuG Dec 12, 09:23 4
        
        No. -- nm - TFox Dec 12, 09:48
        
        5/6 = 0.83bar ... which is night indistinguishable (at sufficient levels of repetition) from 0.84 -- nm - Beryllium Dec 12, 09:26 2
        
        night=nigh -- nm - Beryllium Dec 12, 09:26 1
        
        No, this is a bad example because it's not a 9 repeating. There's the kink. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 12, 09:28
