Again, infinitude is a mathematical concept. Your drawn distinction is philosophical. I would call your arguments spurious. So too do I find Tar's questions in the OP spurious, let alone his assertion on infinity that I called out as nonsense. Beware those crowned in ignorance and bearing the scepter of stupidity. ~ Unattested

I can write out the definition of primes as well as an ordered list of some of its members which makes primes real* in the physical world. Moreover, infinitude is an intrinsically mathematical construct. *real Also see countably infinite in regard to measuring sets.

The infinitude of prime numbers.

That is not even English. You are not even wrong. measure

Nonsense. The set of prime numbers is infinite and this is measured by mathematical proof.

Does mathematics really exist in nature or not?

Now if only you can remember how it is. Edit: Erhm...to give some impression of staying on topic, it isn't Christian.

Sexuality and it's bichemical modification
Acme replied to Der_Neugierige's topic in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Ok curious. First, what matter does it make if a person is famous or not? Should be obvious my question is rhetorical and it makes no difference. Then, the biological differences are not unexplored, rather the differences are not yet understood. Biology and sexual orientation Moreover, before there's a bunch of whining about me citing Wikipedia note that the article I linked to references over 100 sources on the subject, all of which trump some forum poster's un-evidenced 'I think blah blah blah looks like yada yada' that smacks of pseudoscientific phrenology and its ilk. Sexuality is as sexuality does. Get over it. -
When did I say that ?I'm just an argumentative person. For the sake of argument I think 'were' is the operative term here, being past tense and all. As to the OP, I'm not a Christian because in some similar manner to Mig, I were one. Nothing like actually reading the Bible and its competitors to help one realize it's all more-or-less piles of dooky.

I found information saying that Common Purslane, Portulaca oleracea, is known to uptake BPA. It may or may not be native to New York State, but it is naturalized there and while it is edible I don't think it's commonly consumed by humans.

To what does the highlighted pronoun 'It' refer? Anyone who denies the law of noncontradiction should be beaten and burned until he admits that to be beaten is not the same as not to be beaten, and to be burned is not the same as not to be burned. ~Avicenna -
Not that I don't go all meta from time-to-time, but in this case I know what's going on because I used to administrate a board that used IP.Board software. This board no more has 74K legit members than I have 4 doctorates.

It is something of a doomsday clock. It's not the number of visitors as Swanson said, rather it's the highest number of members ever logged in at one time and the reason it is so high is because it's spammers that logged in. Of the [currently] reported 73,962 members of the forum, 98% BME are spammers. Many aren't caught because the spam is in their profile and they never post to a thread, and the memberships of those caught are never deleted. As times goes on the percentage of spammer members will increase. Tick tock!

Did I miss a citation to support the 'Religious youth exhibit fewer delinquent behaviors' claim? Even if true, a new study finds religious kids are less altruistic. The Negative Association between Religiousness and Childrens Altruism across the World

Recreations in the Theory of Numbers: The Queen of Mathematics Entertains by Albert H. Beiler Because OEIS made attributions to this work that others assured me are not in it, I ordered this book a few years back but never got it. On a whim I tried again last week and now have it in my hot little hands. A quick check of the pertinent section shows my friends were correct and OEIS mistaken, though this won't forestall my reading the whole of it for my own recreation.

Also of consideration is what gear -if any- the struck car is in, whether its parking brake is set, and the slope of the pavement.

You're welcome. Nothing always works but if my method works for Itoero then that's good enough.

Yes it is a problem with the forum software not playing nice with all browsers. But as I explain at the other thread I linked to, there is a workaround.

I'm not familiar with that device so can't say just how it differs from the handheld GPS receiver I have. Mine is about 10 years old and has no maps, but it does have a screen that has two resettable odometers as well as a scalable speedometer. Can't say either if newer handhelds have these features, but I have read the newer ones are accurate to about 10 to 30ft. In any case, your exercise regimen is better than none.

Handheld GPS receiver of course, though they may be too expensive just for your jogging. (If you have a smart phone you can probably get an app to track your jogging.) Inexpensive handheld GPS units can be had for less than $200. If you want very inexpensive, get a pedometer for less than $15. 'Cheap' handheld GPS @ REI for $112 'Cheap' Pedometer @ $12
