this person should be celebrated, not ridiculed. we all could stand to learn from him no matter how divergent our views on life are.

he sought evidence willingly and did not dismiss it out of hand when it didn't support his hypothesis. in fact, he has gone further and rejected that hypothesis.

his starting point may have been misinformed but he has had the courage to use the scientific method to recalibrate. i salute him.

for anyone else that felt they were left hanging by this 👆 person's story:

why didn't they just say 0.4chan and be done with it?

the only people who want to put in longer hours at the office have absolutely nothing to go home to.

they should be pitied instead of being vilified. drop them a "get well soon" message in social media should you encounter them.

such information, they say, is deeply offensive to the horrendous disease regardless of how many young, innocent victims it claims.

i put this question to my cat while parading naked in front of it.

i got no response other than a look of utter disdain.

from what one hears about the pressure of these exams, i dont think the reasons for those measures are as wholesome as assumed in this comment.

these exams are amongst the most competitive in the world and their outcome provides only a single window which dictates the rest of your life. that is not a system worth boasting about.

quite ironically in this context, san jose is named after st. joseph -- he of the legal dad of jesus fame -- who was once famously told there was no room at the inn and had to make do in a stable.

seriously, though. it's high time we thought of ourselves as co-passengers on a single planet-sized ship rather than attributing memberships to everyone on the basis of arbitrarily drawn lines on a map.

what have they replaced the X button on their controllers with, then?

well, that shouldnt have been a surprising find. we've already had millions of examples of people talking out of their arses over the years.

is it, though?

a stomach can stretch upto 4 litres in capacity when pushed (one source). that's 4000cm³ (or 244 cubic inches).

to fill that capacity, the volume of a pizza needs to be 4000cm³ or 244 inch³.

take πr²h = 4000 for thin crust pizzas, if we assume the average height of pizza and toppings as 1cm, our equation simplifies to πr² = 4000; which gives the radius of the pizza as around 36 cms -- or a diameter of 72 cms (or 28").

if we take a thicker pizza of an average crust thickness of 1", then our equation for square inches simplifies to πr² = 244. which gives us a radius of about 9" or a diameter of 18".

since most pizzas top out at 12"-14" diameter (thin and thick crust volume varying between 700cm³ to 2600cm³), if anything, we're nowhere near achieving our full potential!
