Pees In Spaaaaaace

Yeah, I'm still going to call the freezer vs nature guideline bullshit. Saying that there is a different between freezer made ice and jetstream made ice when the freezing process is the same is like refusing to call an apple from an orchard fruit because it didn't come from a wild tree.

It's just a scientific classification boundary condition is all.

And what's this Solid piece? Now you're going to tell me that gold is a mineral but if it melts it's no longer minerally.
!

Correct. Liquids are not solids.

I didn't make up the rules. I just let you know how to apply them.

I'm glad to see you agree that my assessment of the mineral classification boundaries are, in this case, totally insipid.


Now moving on I would like to postulate that .9999... = 1

Oh I totally agree. Ice cubes in the tray still aren't minerals though

Now moving on I would like to postulate that .9999... = 1

Show me a proof and I will show you a proof that 0 = 1

[Nicotti]

It's not the same .99... and 1, unlike icicles outside and icecubes in the tray.

Let's agree on the number of grains of sand it takes to make a heap of sand. Let's say it's a million. So if you take away one grain of sand, does that make it no longer a heap? Take away another. Does the sand lose it's heapdom at that point? If your answer is yes, there is a chance that you are somewhere between half and three quarter tard. If your answer is no, then is there a point at which heapdom is lost, and what is it? Following this line of logic, a single grain of sand could be considered a heap.

Okay. Let's say that there is a saucer of water sitting on a chair outside in 30 degree F. Placed 2 ft above the saucer is an air conditioning unit that is pumping out a constant stream of 25 degree F cooled air. The water freezes from both the ambient air and artificial A/C-ed air.

Is the ice block a mineral?

Okay, let's pretend, and follow me on this until I'm through, let's just pretend that there was no such thing as stupid hypothetical situations.

I was going to say I reject your premise that there is an air conditioner that reaches 25 F. Never seen one, neither has google.

I'd say you'd have to somehow figure out which crystals solidified because of exposure to 30 degree air, and which solidified on contact with the 25 air. You can't really, so you'd have a weird hybrid. The by-product of artificial processes I would define as artificial as well.

Also unrelated but just as relevant:

if (1+1)-(1+1)-(1+1)... = 0
and
1+(1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)... = 1
then 0 = 1

[Nicotti]

if (1+1)-(1+1)-(1+1)... = 0
and
1+(1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)... = 1
then 0 = 1

(1+1)-(1+1)-(1+1) = -2

1+(1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1) = 1

And if we're going to talk about pissicles in space we can damn well talk about a 25 F A/C unit.

[PANIC! on the Titanic]

Damn, I did my fallacy wrong. Eh, it's been a couple years.

And I answered your hypothetical.

Hey that was pretty cool.

Did you know, you can breathe this in and coat the inside of your lungs and be undrownable?

Fact.
