Do people hoard food? I suppose preppers, but they aren't likely to want any kind of method to decide what to get rid of. Plus, if you do decide to you can just stop buying food and eat your hoard.

Your model is lacking in one area - poopy() has an inverse poopwash() where for some set of poopy objects Y, poopwash maps Y to a subset of the set of real world objects, but there exists a set of poopy objects Z for which poopwash maps Z to a subset of poopy objects.

My initial instinct was to suggest that for all z in Z, keep(z) = false, however I believe your million dollar example runs counter to this. Nonetheless, I suspect there is a useful subset of Z, let's say S, for which we can say, for all s in S, keep(s) = false.

I'm used to UK conservatives. They don't like poor people, I think religion is really a minor issue for most of them though (after all it does generally preach kindness to the poor).

Was not expecting the abrupt pivot into barely relevant bible study.

These just look like normal deep sea creatures. Ever see those videos with the marine biologists talking while they explore the deep with an unmanned submarine? They find weird shit like this all the time.

The sounds produced by plants aren't used for communication, at least as far as I've understood it. They are, as you say, just sounds produced as part of other processes. They aren't talking any more than a tree talks when in creaks in the wind.

Especially because it hasn't always and it won't forever. Humanity's existence just happens to coincide with the period of amazing eclipses.

Whoa, whoa, there's riot science? Man I've been taking the wrong courses.

No gambling, one of the rules.

Takes a long time to close sales like that... Although I suspect paying above market rate for things would help grease the wheels.

Ah, good ol' TEXTJOIN. I've used excel to write M before when I couldn't figure out a way to do something concisely but I also couldn't be bothered to write it out by hand. In hindsight, I was a shit programmer, but I'm at least good enough now that I can see how shit I was then!

 

Tricky to explain exactly. Sometimes the comment button goes straight to adding a new comment rather than the post's comments. To reach the comments I have to press it again. But because it's not consistent sometimes I have to press it several times to reach the actual comments.
