But that would be fraud

How would it be fraud? Credit card cash advances are unsecured debt. However, good luck getting a cash advance large enough to pay off a student loan.

It is a local thing. Outside of NY, people still say "in line," though I have noticed an insidious rise in the British "queue," mainly written though, not spoken, and mainly in places that want to act snooty. That's how these language changes often start though.

I think Y(t)/t converges to 1. My reasoning is:

Given the Law of Large Numbers:

E[Y(t)]~=E[sum(x)]

E[Y(t)]~=n*E(x)

E[Y(t)]~=n*mu

E[Y(t)]/E(t)~=n*mu/sum(x)

E[Y(t)]/E(t)~=n * mu/(n * mu)

E[Y(t)]/E(t)~=1

Y(t) will grow without bound as t goes to infinity. It doesn't have an asymptote. You will always need more and more instances of x (over the long run) for their sum to surpass higher and higher bounds of t.

This isn't a very interesting question the way you've worded it which makes me think you might have missed something in the question. Can you go back to your HW and copy out the problem exactly as it is worded?

Good reply, thanks.

What is the opinion of historians on the House Select Committee report that concluded that a conspiracy was more likely than not? If the lone gunman theory is so well supported, how did the House Committee go so far off the rails?

Not that I necessarily believe this "shipwrecked Indians" story, but is a canoe traversal from Greenland to Iceland, thence onwards to the Faroes or Orkneys and Scotland or Norway essentially impossible? Let's assume a well-stocked Inuit canoe that had just finished a large seal or walrus hunt was blown into the open ocean by a storm. They reach Iceland and then decide this was an intervention by "the gods" or something and decide to press on. Could they conceivably have survived and reached Europe?

The dudes who believed God was five feet tall and went around beating up Quakers? I love those guys!

There are a lot of accounts of meetings with human-like "Nordic" aliens in UFOs, who might be humans pretending to be aliens, but beware this will take you down the Esoteric Hitlerism/Nazi survival rabbithole, aka people who think "Iron Sky" is real.

The drug is pretty much a key plot element throughout the series though, so I wouldn't call it a deus ex machina. The "machina" at the end of Dune was of a more literal kind!

After God Emperor, however, it does get kind of weird.

It's all kind of weird. I actually like how the series goes spectacularly off the rails at the end. It's a beautiful disaster of the first order.

They also have a very singular rare books library.

Ancient and rare mystical manuscripts housed in the NSA library? Now there's a good beginning to a pulp thriller novel.

Yes, it's impossible. The hypotenuse must be the longest side of a right triangle.

Triangle problems can be confusing when the labeling is unclear. Can you upload a picture of the problem?

Also, in the pythag. theorem, it's a² + b² = c^2. You seem to have b² as the isolated term, which might be your problem.

Me too, I just wake up. I've never experienced this void state.

Wouldn't surprise me. I think the "changing text" RC is one of the least reliable. There's all kinds of pseudoscience about how the higher reasoning functions in your brain are deactivated during dreaming so you can't read coherently or form complex thoughts. I think there's some truth to this (my thinking is always muddy in dreams, even in Lucid Dreams), but the reading stuff is not supported by the first-hand experiences of people on this board and others.

Sooo... I was a female librarian in Siberia, in the year 450 AD
