It still equals 1, you can prove it without using fractions:

x = 0.999...

10x = 9.999...

10x = 9 + 0.999...

10x = 9 + x

9x = 9

x = 1

There's even a Wikipedia page on the subject

Saw it for the first time very recently. I did NOT expect such... versatility from racoons' testicles. Great movie for a wild ride

Didn't know about the third one. Thanks, I'll check it out!

Came here to say the exact same thing: To the Moon is definitely a game for ugly crying. I even replayed it a couple of years ago, and even when I already KNEW what was going to happen, I still found myself crying for hours and being overemotional for a week. Great games with beautiful storytelling. I can feel myself tearing up just by thinking about it. Maybe it's time for another replay haha

I'm curious, what's the definition of sex in the context of fungi?

I don't know how much of a "tip" it is, but I like to use my cellphone's camera as binoculars. Nowadays zooms can be very powerful and I use it regularly to read faraway signs, see details on distant structures and to see far things in general. The anti-shake software usually is enough, but if whatever I'm trying to read or look at is VERY far, I zoom in, hold my breath to snap a quick picture and then examine it calmly. I've found it to be very convenient, specially when traveling

Really like the concept. As a suggestion, remove the login. Making it absolutely anonymous discourages even further the risk of bots invading since there's not even a point in "karma-farming"

I know that nowadays there are some physics engines pretty advanced, capable of very complex simulations.

Are we at a point in technology where if, for example, we were to simulate a rock being dropped on the floor from a certain distance, the simulation can calculate the shape and weight of the rock , the air resistance experienced during the fall, the density of the floor where the rock will fall onto, and all the other thousands of factors involved, and from those things "calculate" the sound that the rock will make when hitting the floor, and then reproduce it?

Is there such a thing? Are we there yet? If not, is it something feasible?
