Relativity? A light year is a measurement of distance, not time. A ship traveling at.95C would only take 4 months to travel 1 light year from the perspective of the crew. To outside observers it would take a over a year.

The current loan gets rolled into the next loan and becomes a revolving door of credit. As long as you don’t spend faster than the assets appreciate you’ll always end up ahead.
Age discrimination in the US only applies if you’re discriminating against them for being over 40. This doesn’t apply here since they’re being rejected for their birthday and not their age.
You can’t discriminate against someone for being older than 40. Being under 40 or having 4/20 as your birthday aren’t protected groups.

Darkaga@kbin.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the simplest thing humans are too dumb to grasp?1·2 years ago1/3 being equal to .333… Is incredibly basic fractional math.
Think about it this way. What is the value of 1 split into thirds expressed as a decimal?
It can’t be .3 because 3 of those is only equal to .9
It also can’t be .34 because three of those would be equal to 1.2This is actually an artifact of using a base 10 number system. For instance if we instead tried representing the fraction 1/3 using base 12 we actually get 1/3=4 (subscript 12 which I can’t do on my phone)
Now there are proofs you can find relating to 1/3 being equal to .333… But generally the more simplistic the problem, the more complex the proof is. You might have trouble understand them if you haven’t done some advanced work in number theory.
Darkaga@kbin.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the simplest thing humans are too dumb to grasp?3·2 years ago.333… Not .333
The “…” Here represents an infinitely repeating number.
In this context 1/3 = .333…
Darkaga@kbin.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the simplest thing humans are too dumb to grasp?41·2 years agoThere’s lots of proofs for this but this is the simplest one.
.333… = 1/3
.333… • 3 = .999…
1/3 • 3 = 1
Therefore .999… = 1

I bought a Zotac 4090 (AMP OC) on a whim when I saw them in stock a Microcenter. It was sitting 2 feet away from me in my open air case for 3 months before my waterblock arrived and I could barely hear it even at full tilt.
The term you’re looking for is “regulatory capture.”
