In the 1960's you could buy around 21 burgers with an hours worth of work for average salary.

I know people with 3 homes because they bought them for $5 and a stick of gum.

At least change your own oil. If you don't have tools I know a few part stores will let you borrow them.

Ass on the toilet, face in the tub. I was in the bathroom from around 9pm to 4am.

1/3 of 10 is 3.333...

1/3 of 1 is .333...

It's like when people come to America and are surprised when tax isn't included in sale prices. The .0333... you forgot to add on will get you in trouble with the universes math IRS.

.333... Is a third. That's just a quirk of base 10. If you go to a different number system you won't run into that particular issue.

The most common other base people know of is binary. Base 2. So in binary the fraction would be 1/11 and then 1/11(binary)=1/3(base 10).

I remember talk back in the day that base 12 is good for most common human problems. Some people were interested in trying to get people to switch to that.
1/3 of 12 is 4.
So 4/12=1/3=3.33333.../10

.333... Is just the cursive way of writing 1/3.

I still don't "grasp" infinity. I'd recon you'd need an infinite mind to grasp infinity.

Can you elaborate on what you mean psych problems when you don't trust your brain?

I have memory issues and so when I'm doing something more complex than muscle memory I write it down. So I don't trust myself on specific memory tasks, like phone numbers.

For context I work on trash trucks and salt trucks. What are you doing that's making zip ties cut into wires? I need to make sure that the wire harness that runs along the body above and next to the drive shaft that will spin everything the trucks run over. If the harness is loose the cable will get caught in the debris.

If you're working in a server room with lots of wires I can see the utility of those fabric fasteners. I don't get the luxury of the wires only moving when I touch them.
