Edit: Funny though! permalink fedilink source hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] fidodo@lemm.ee 7 points 3 years ago (2 children) Continuity is consistency across a spectrum. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nougat@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago Continuity is the presence of a complete path for current flow. permalink fedilink source parent [–] elegantgoat1@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago Yeah, I can buy that.

Just two points. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) I think it's continuity, like a spectrum. At one end is thin ice, the other is thick ice. etc permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] elegantgoat1@lemmy.world -1 points 3 years ago Yeah, I think that's wrong. Since they are discrete and not a continuum. Since there are only two extremes. If his new relationships were true it would make the opposite idioms consistent with their non-opposite counterparts. Kind of the same concept as a contrapositive proposition, i.e. 'if A then B' implies 'if not A then not B'. permalink fedilink source parent
