cultural reviewer and dabbler in stylistic premonitions
For some reason that article doesn’t link to it, but it is a real tweet he made in February (and didn’t even delete after being called out for the highlighted search terms in his screenshot).
17 × 59 = 10003
you’ve got an extra zero in there, and you forgot the 1, but the rest of your divisors match my crude brute-force approach:
>>> n=31521281
>>> d = [ x for x in range(1,n//2+1) if not n%x ]
>>> d
[1, 11, 17, 59, 187, 649, 1003, 2857, 11033, 31427, 48569, 168563, 534259, 1854193, 2865571]
>>> yours=list(map(int,"11+17+59+2857+11033+534259+1854193+2865571+168563+48569+10003+31427+649+187".split("+")))
>>> set(yours) - set(d)
{10003}
>>> set(d) - set(yours)
{1, 1003}
>>> sum(d)
5518399
same conclusion though: 5518399 also ≠ 31521281
>>> isperfect = lambda n: n == sum(x for x in range(1,n//2+1) if not n%x)
>>> [n for n in range(1, 10000) if isperfect(n)]
[6, 28, 496, 8128]
(from https://oeis.org/A000396 i see the next perfect number after 8128 is 33550336 which is too big for me to wait for the naive approach above to test…)
>>> divisors_if_perfect = lambda n: n == sum(d:=[x for x in range(1,n//2+1) if not n%x]) and d
>>> print("\n".join(f"{n:>5} == sum{tuple(d)}" for n in range(10000) if (d:=divisors_if_perfect(n))))
6 == sum(1, 2, 3)
28 == sum(1, 2, 4, 7, 14)
496 == sum(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248)
8128 == sum(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 127, 254, 508, 1016, 2032, 4064)
yeah, they aren’t very active, but (presumably due to federation bugs) there is more there than your instance is showing you: from my perspective the most recent post on the mander community is from one month ago and the lemmy.ml community has three posts including one that isn’t from a mod.
you might be able to pull those posts into your instance by searching for their permalinks there (which you can find from the fediverse icons on each post in the web view of those communities on another instance).
I’d love a community here on lemmy for Meshtastic.
There are two:
The basis of this joke is the Simplified-vs-Traditional character sets for Chinese languages, but, there actually is a thing called Basic English which is sometimes called Simple English and which is used on the Simple English Wikipedia.
Building an optional, immutable/composable version of postmarketOS
that sounds great! is there more information somewhere about this plan yet?
Great Salt Lake
lol, i guess that must be why.
fwiw, regardless of its name or how great it is, it is not one of the Great Lakes 😂
There is a well-timed musical change just after 3:13:44 when Mary Landrieu is describing her surprise at learning about the severe racial disparities in US households’ net worth:
edit: fwiw the numbers she cites are substantially lower (though the disparities are similar) than what Pew Research reported for that timeframe.
This is also available as a book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Speech_(Sanders_book)
the option of a subscription is fine IMO
I am glad I live in a place where many grocery stores don’t have this problem, because they don’t have parking lots, because most of their customers don’t even have a car much less would drive it to get groceries if they did. (Yes, I do realize how fortunate I am.)
Sounds outlandish, but this was happening in 2010:
this comment was deleted by someone else for disclosing the identity behind a mod action, but since it was my identity being revealed i am choosing to reply to it.
These actions are being taken by .ml site admin Arthur Besse / cypherpunks. There’s nothing I can do as a mere community mod ^^
As a moderator, you could and imo definitely should remove the links to that instance from the sidebar, and in their place put a note mentioning that sexualized drawings of children are not allowed here. I’m not really into anime but I have enjoyed some and I would rather that we could have a community for it here than not. But, that requires moderators who are willing to delete things like that (not to mention not link to it themselves).
Any volunteers?
😳 i concur, it is in fact thursday somewhere 29.7619% of the time
it’s always Thursday somewhere
it’s only Thursday somewhere 28.6% (approximately 2/7th) of the time
this sounds like an easy problem to solve, the valve probably just needs to be rotated counter-clockwise a bit
Snopes says they haven’t found evidence that this is something he actually said, and also that even if he did say it, it was most likely “kayfabe” - a pro wrestling term for maintaining the story line outside of the ring.
Otoh, https://www.houstonpress.com/news/opinion-the-reality-behind-hulk-hogan-vs-andre-the-giant-16554572 is an interesting read i just found while searching for the above which includes some good reasons why Andre might legitimately have stopped being friends with Hogan. Also TIL Jesse Ventura tried to unionize WWF and later learned in court that it was in fact Hogan who had ratted him out to their boss (Vince McMahon). (Or maybe this is all just higher-order kayfabe? 🤡)
