The bookstore I like to visit doesn't sell the books I want to read.

There have been huge improvements since the first petrol engine, and huge improvements in the last 20 years as well. Petrol engines are some of the most studied and meticulously engineered things ever created.

The resulting "dish" is a png that you can open in a new tab, or just download straight away.

Have you read anything by McCarthy? His writing style is as far from "Said Bookism" as you can come.

Yes, that is the definition (I am Swedish and I've endured many people asking me my "colour".) It's absurd, isn't it? Especially using so many emotive words.

Definitely not. Very few people die of traffic accidents, and that number has been sinking steadily since 1970. (1950: 595, 1960: 1036, 1970: 1307, 1980: 848, 1990: 772, 2000: 591, 2010: 266)

0, if we're talking natural numbers or integers. There isn't one if we're talking real numbers. Simple proof:

Assume x is the largest number smaller than 1.

(x + 1)/2 is a number larger than x but smaller than 1. Our assumption that x is the largest number smaller than 1 must be wrong. QED.

I mean, not really.

2. There is more than one substance that rewrites your mind.
