The point is, you can't compare an abstract construct as multiplying by zero with a real world example. The entire foundation for that line of reasoning is flawed.
dude, its not abstract

not unless you want to say every other addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problem is also abstract?

of COURSE they are not; 2+2=4 is applicable to real life all day, every day. there can be no philosophical or arithmetic exception for one process- multiplication by zero

Please explain to me how multiplication by zero is not an abstract concept.

I recently heard that math is racist so I just give the cashier 50 cents less than they are asking for and call it a day.

So, when Nature drops a perfectly good Maple tree down on the perfect spot...
of COURSE you make a bridge out of it!

fortunately had a good deal of leftover lumber from other projects, technically spent zero $ on this

before anyone says it... the 'crookedness' is due to 2 things
1- the far side (from the aspect of the picture) is much lower than the near side, thats why the railing looks 'bent', but all surfaces are relatively "true" to the lay of the tree

2- Its NATURE! You DON'T LEVEL NATURE!

Shangri La

aka, my neighbor's property :) he told us a long time ago we could come on to pick berries, mushrooms, gather already dead firewood, etc

he has a house a bit upriver and owns about 4 miles of river front, nearly all woods. he is nearly never there as is wife refuses to live "in the woods"

shame too- log cabin type finished 2 story home with basement; tennis court, in ground pool, professional made 1 lane firing range gun and archery... picnic pavilion. i think he rents it on air bnb and hosts guests of his company there sometimes

guy is way into trout fishing, its his main concern

Ah, there's a railway right behind your house. Not a very busy one I hope.

Where's the creek on that second picture?

First time I've ever seen the start button and all centralized. What kind of heathen are you! :D

The river is to the north, which is up, of course. The pic is just zoomed in

the RR has been officially abandoned since about 2013 or so, you cannot see it in the pic, but on the west side, I have a chain link fence going across it

there are massive wash outs now in places, some big enough to put a car into. another area where you cannot even find the tracks they are under about 2 foot of mud

the tracks behind my house / on my property and adjacent are now growing over with bushes and trees

again this pic is like 5-6 yrs old, don't know why GOOGLE hasn't updated

google earth is just as outdated looks like same exact picture

And yet here you are promoting her shit, lol. ;)
Not promoting but I wanted to know what you guys think of it?

Nerdrotic is very negative and serious but some of the things he does mention is true but it can become tiresome to hear that in almost video about woke hollywood. He is just trying to get views these days.
