Stressful. Flying to PAX tomorrow and still putting my costume together. Gah!
Always wanted to go to that. What's your costume?

Errbody needs to take a chill pill. These forums should be a place of love, happiness, and 64.
I've never met a 64 player in real life and thought they were mean. Why can't y'all just love each other on the internet too. Barring that civility is really easy over text. Most of the time you have to go out of your way to portray hostility on a forum.

So Im studying japanese now, and I discovered that purin which is jigglypuffs name on japanese version actually means pudding in Japanese.

Jigglypuff confirmed pudding, not pokemon.

Oh and stop nagging at each other. seriously you are poisoning the community. I understand you hate each other as much as ness hates Bthrow on DL, but do it private or something. Majority here doesnt give a single **** about your soap opera. Try to care about others pls.

Oli the strict

That's a pretty sweet getup. Did you choose that because you play him in DotA? Hope you have a good time, dude.


Cobr is actually really friggin nice in real life. For real. His family is cool too and make awesome Italian food.
He's been nothing but nice and informative to me. Answered a lot of questions about the community when I first joined. I don't know what makes him target specific people for trolling so hard, but all the 'discussions' he's had on these boards with Studstill or others could've easily been made entirely civil. Like I said before it's very easy to be neutral in text, and most of the time you have to go out of your way to come across as hostile and elicit reactions.

I have no doubt Rob is a cool guy in real life. I'd wager I would get along with basically everybody in the 64 section in real life. It's kind of depressing people don't interact on here the way they do in person. Manners should extend to the internet.

Everyone is always flakey and they suck at doing anything or making a plan or sticking to a plan
2013 spring-ish: me and boom 0-death a deer on the way to NJ before sweet 12. Still got where we needed to be
2013 late summer sometime? or was it 2014 after apex? for some montreal tournament: Bloodpeach fiasco
2014 summer peru trip: Me and boom are taken to the airport too late cause they decided to try to print our tickets out at some random kinkos like place like right when the plane was supposed to board
2014 japan trip: Jouske brings boom to the airport too late and they both miss their flights home

ya'll are a bunch of noobs

what did I forget and what are your stories?
WHERE THE **** DID MY THREAD GO

Not really (though I do play him on occasion) Just more that it seemed to be one of the easier ones for someone who can't sew.

"Randomness" and "probability" are just mathematical models created that happen to provide the best predictions for what happens in quantum mechanics.
no, there is an equivalent deterministic model where "randomness" is not inherent, just appears as a consequence of certain environmental constraints

"Randomness" and "infinity" are just mathematical concepts. Don't see how they are ridiculous at all. Do you have an opinion on negative numbers? Is calculus "ridiculous" since it involves a concept of infinity?
Randomness: if you know what lebesgue measure is go look up incomputable number. or sets which are not lebesgue measurable. well, the lebegue measure of a set of numbers between 0 and 1 is equivalent to the probability of choosing a number from that set out of all those numbers. since you believe in calculus (axiom of infinity + axiom of choice) then non-measureable sets exist. which means that if i throw a random dart between 0 and 1 the probability it lands in that type of set does not exist. Not 0, not 1, not any number in between. Literally the probability of landing in that set does not exist in the mathematical universe as a whole. Probability theory is ****ing retarted anyways, just look up the bertrand paradox

Infinity: if you know what a cardinal number is, go ahead and tell me the cardinality of all the cardinal numbers.

Is calculus "ridiculous" since it involves a concept of infinity?
yes. its not real life. decent model for dynamical systems tho

Steve while we`re here can you hook it up with a 'good definition of true mathematical randomness',
hmm laymans way: you know how you can use 7z or winrar or .zip to compress a file? a file is just a bunch of 0s and 1s. you can compress files (data) like to 10% the original size. a truly random number, mathematically, cannot be compressed at all (if it were a file). In other words, the compression would have a length equal to or greater than the original dataset (number). The only numbers which fit this property are what are know as uncomputable numbers, and they dominate the number line. (the probability you pick a uncomputable number when you randomly pick a number from the number line is 100%. Every other number you have ever encountered in your life has a probability of zero)

I think Steve was alluding to how infinity really isn`t a number and is janky anyway, algebra-wise, or to layman rather, not that it`s 'ridiculous'. Of course they are mathematical concepts, just some are more concrete than others and 'infinity' and 'randomness' are a few of the concepts that are usually diverged from their correlating constructs in reality. ON infinity, for example, it`s better to think of it as a direction, +inf and -inf on ends of the number line. This is pretty easy to imagine, just start walking around a coastline or even back and forth across the US, counting each step. You`ll keep adding one, and the number of steps will always grow, never shrink (so you know the direction) but it will also never end on a particular sum, i.e you can always take another step.
no its more like infinity doesnt exist because numbers dont exist. just abstract concepts that can do neat tricks

I like every one here, including rob, he is a nice guy, and I've never met him offline (yet) he's even pretty funny on Skype when we played mario party together, he even helped me download the rom memory to play with them, multiple times, I imagine that was a annoying task, but he still did that, so I could play, and I respect that greaty

Can a mod or admin close my account? Can't even post in a thread about smash without people like karajan coming in and going completely off topic trying to criticize my social skills (pretty ironic isn't it?). No point in coming on this site anymore.

Opposite of corrupt is pure. It says, "give me the booty" under your name. pidgezero_one is a confirmed liar. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
there's nothing impure about appreciating the booty

Damn you, Steve.

Now whenever I get discs with Karajan as the conductor --
Well, the name is tainted. that is all.

Luigi sucks
the only recordings that I've liked from Karajan have been some Beethoven stuff (and I generally don't enjoy listening to Beethoven, so I guess that's why I think they're good). Aside from that, the other stuff he did that I've listened to hasn't been amazing or anything. Just OK.

I should listen to more of his recordings. Don't wanna hate on the guy without having listened to more

the internet is type of return to the caves in .html. a teenager leaning the history of christianity with .gifs is a return to the doodles of lascaux

too many debate/discussion junkies

Just got this text from Stranded:



"I drew a coked out Andrew Jackson. Taped it over an anti-bullying poster in the hall way. 2 days out of school suspension."
