> In April 1941, Pedersen moved to Aalborg, forming the Churchill Club there. This was a very brave act and got lots of respect.
Someone doesn't know how to Wikipedia lol
@user Other common formats being "maybe my girlfriend/boyfriend/partner is a weird person", "I said a thing without thinking it through", and "you'll never guess what I did with my bodily fluids"
04:21
@lyxal Still unnecessary imo
probably
Although I guess it's better than my old school in India, where you could only borrow one book once a week (there was a Library class where we went and read for the whole class, then borrowed a book at the end of the class)
Occasionally, the librarian would decide we were being too noisy or whatever and straight up not let us borrow books for that week. I'm 90% sure it was mainly because she was lazy
She also restricted us to borrowing books from certain sections of the library (a different section every time, according to the librarian's whims) and during the Library class, we were again only allowed to read books from specific sections (a few times it was sections with only textbooks lol)
I hated that librarian so much
Books were all I had for entertainment at that time and the one book a week thing was like giving someone coke one day a month
My parents got me a membership at a proper library at some point thankfully
@RydwolfPrograms Reddit has taught me that if something exists, people will have used it to mess with their genitals somehow

oooh
came across a devious problem
"Given two primes (p, q), when is p^q + q^p prime."
you'd think that'd be very hard, but you don't even need complex prime theorems to solve it, just basic modular arithmetic
would recommend giving it a try
curious if there's an alternative approach
@mathscat rephrase: for which prime pairs (p, q) is p^q + q^p prime.
08:21
@mathscat Only if p = 2 (or q = 2) since anything else results in an even number
yup, but you can still narrow it down
Hmm... then if q is 6k+1, you get 36k^2 + 12k + 1 + 2^(6k+1), which modulo 3 is 1+2^1, or 0 - so it's divisble by 3...
And a similar argument applies for q being 6k-1
So the only valid q is 3?
yes
same approach

unrelated, but who tf dared to buy the license plate PM 127
you can't just steal my mersenne prime like that
(it can also be written as 2^7-1, 1111111 in binary, which is just super cool)

I've seen some funny vanity plates
- A red Porsche 944 with license plate "RUBY 944"
- An electric vehicle with license plate "PLUG IN"
- A sports car with license plate "NO AUTO"
- A Margaritaville-themed license plate that said "5 OCLOCK"
just off the top of my head
I once saw 69 NICE
I think I also once saw a number plate with TNB in it
and I thought to myself "this is it. this is how it ends."
I'm dealing with a lot more serious things than that at the moment ...

@user Coke as in soda or the drug. Ordinarily I'd assume soda but given who's talking I'm not sure
@mathscat Well that is what makes it a Mersenne Prime :p

@RydwolfPrograms good point

Vivaldi is an awesome browser
the mouse gestures are so useful
and the customization is insane
Okay are these reporters or coconspirators in an assassination attempt lol
"Trump is alone in a black car turning left on XYZ Street in exactly six minutes. There appears to be a weakness in the bullet shielding in the top left part of the roof, which you should be able to take advantage of using your Wz. 35 anti-tank rifle"

how can one not be creeped out by this
update: finally managed to build python from source on wsl
