not a lot of rivets being used in steel frame construction anymore- it's all bolts.

That's a relief! Maybe we should start making noise-cancelling headphones for mindreaders, just in case. ;)

But you can sing baby shark in your head constantly, and that is a huge win.

Reply to Historical mathematicians must have been quite impractical by nature since they discovered complex numbers before calculus. by Shamon_Yu
Once you have the idea of roots, the problem of what happens when you try to find an even root of a negative number immediately falls out.
The idea that you can add up an infinite number of infinitely small things and get a finite result is totally weird and counterintuitive and it takes a Newton or a Leibniz to come up with it in the first place.

Reply to comment by Sentsuizan in The transition to digital currency is terrible for homeless people. by YoThatsFed
That’s super cool, Googling about that shows only results for PayPal and Google Pay in the US making me think it’s another USA only thing. Just goes to shows there is ways that it can be used to help homeless people they’re just not widespread enough yet I suppose.

Here you can simply add your PayPal account to your Google Pay or Apple pay wallet and it just works. It's what I use pretty much every time I'd tap to pay these days

We primarily use PayPal but I’m not aware of a way to use that to pay in stores either.
Stores tend to accept any major debit/credit cards, and Apple and Google pay.

....or maybe they discovered complex numbers then invented calculus to help explain them?
Newton developed his fluxional calculus in an attempt to evade the informal use of infinitesimals in his calculations.
