I live in reality man. It's 40 minutes after midnight and she's drunk. I mean there is a possibility this is innocent but it's not likely, and even if it's not innocent it's still wrong.
even if it is innocent it is wrong? or am I reading this wrong?

Because that is dumb.
It's wrong because she knows just as well as I do that Scott wouldn't be cool with it.

edit: well that makes a difference why didn't you say so in the first place.

i mean i still think your friend is dumb for not being cool with it, but that's their relationship boggle.

Contrary to popular belief... 0 is actually the loneliest number.

Okay, back to what I was doing right before the healthcare bill came around.

I am looking for a person at least reasonably knowledgeable on land mines, specifically antipersonnel mines, who is in favor of their use for an article I'm writing. I don't want devil's advocates; I want an actual person in favor. I was trying to find one earlier tonight, got a bit sidetracked, so we'll try it again.

Warning: you're going to be the opposition viewpoint in the article.

This is probably a stupid question. I'm trying to wrap my head around a foreign concept. How would you count past, say, 5 in a base-five system? That is, what word would you use for 6?
6 would be 10. You just move to the next digit like how you have to go from 9 to 10 in base 10.

err maybe what jebus said. I'm tired and am supposed to be watching movies.
Sssso..... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, etc.?
No, if it was base 5 it would be 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 30...

0 counts as a digit for purposes of what base a numeral system is.

Yeah. The funny thing about saying Base-2 or Base-5 is that we're expressing the system in terms of the number it does not posses

Exactly. So 11 in base-5 is 6 in decimal.

Yes, you got it. Except 31. That should be 30.

Ok, replace the 11 for 6 with 'arblegarble' but you've got the same concept.

The roll-over analogy makes sense.

But why do that? I mean, I understand different languages coming up with different counting systems, but why do that otherwise?

I understand how a bouncing betty works. And general land mines. But I guess I don't really have a position on it. Banning them seems silly. They are around all the military bases, pretty sure. It's cheaper than a strong wall.
