Wikipedia also notes that “Ramanjuan’s constant” was actually discovered by Charles Hermite in 1859 and it was a 1975 April Fools article in Scientific American that attributed it to Ramanujan.

Is it just me or is it weird to promote a writing app with an obviously LLM-written post.

I love the juxtaposition in one of the first pictures of this super advanced contraption being rolled into place using plywood and logs.

It totally looks like it could be a still from the a movie where medieval humans discover some sort of crazy alien artifact and drag it back home to put in the middle of their town as a trophy.

Agreed - a friend in Tokyo mentioned that his neighborhood had small apartments that didn't have their own bathrooms but instead came with unlimited access to the public bathhouse down the street. If you were down with that tradeoff you could get an apt in a super desirable neighborhood for ~$300/mo.

Sounds like an amazing option to me, but totally prevented by zoning / regulations in the US.

Just to note - unless we can't reach you, we usually end up just crediting the donor's account with a balance that they can use to support any of the other nonprofits on the platform, so usually you do get to donate to another project of your choice :)
