Do I detect just a tiny bit of sexism?

Do you really???

Well, at least you sound awake now.
Sober should be next.

You wouldn’t know sober if it came in a bottle....which for you it usually does...which is why you never are..... someday maybe you’ll figure out that you can’t get sober from a bottle of scotch

I avoid ever finishing a bottle of scotch by
only drinking half the contents, & then half
of what remains, & then half of what remains
of that, & so on....Thus I can never finish the
whole bottle. (No infinite series ever converges.)

That goes along with bullets never hit the target and there will always be more haggis.

Beautiful.

Dante and Beatrice, 1300 AD

Dante: What are the lunar marks? Those dark spots on the moon?
Beatrice: What do you think they are?
Dante: Well...I guess they depend on the fact that the lunar surface is not even, and the sunlight makes certain spots brighter.
Beatrice: No. It's the angelic intelligences that with their influx, give the asters a particular appearance.

Yes, but you do that with an infinite number of bottles at the same time

How much is infinity x a non-convergent infinite series?

6 x 9 does indeed = 42 base 13.

 

[Revoltingest]

6 x 9 does indeed = 42 base 13.

13 in base 10 is 10 in base 13.
Rather palindromic, eh.

13 in base 10 is 10 in base 13.

Oops. Turing test failed badly. Humanity is safe (for now):

Q: in what base is 6 * 9 = 42?

A: In base 10, 6 * 9 = 42. In base 10, the digits 0 through 9 are used to represent numbers, and each place in a number represents a power of 10. For example, in the number 42, the 4 is in the tens place and represents 4 tens, or 40, and the 2 is in the ones place and represents 2 ones, or 2. So, 42 in base 10 is equal to 4 tens plus 2 ones, or 42.

If you are asking about a different base, please let me know and I will do my best to help you.

Second try:

Q: In what base is six times nine equal to 42?

A: In base 10, 6 * 9 = 42. In base 10, the digits 0 through 9 are used to represent numbers, and each place in a number represents a power of 10. For example, in the number 42, the 4 is in the tens place and represents 4 tens, or 40, and the 2 is in the ones place and represents 2 ones, or 2. So, 42 in base 10 is equal to 4 tens plus 2 ones, or 42.

It is not possible for six times nine to equal 42 in any other base, because 42 is not a valid representation of the product of 6 and 9 in any base other than base 10. In base 10, the product of 6 and 9 is equal to 54, which is not equal to 42.

Well, I'm back and i bet no one even noticed I've not been playing tonight...

A major failure of internet put out a huge area including lil old me. Anyway they seem to have fixed it in time for my bedtime shenanigans.

I think that's a win
