Microsoft blocks people from downloading stuff all the time for unknowable reasons. You have to either reset your IP or go through customer support to fix it. I did the latter and they did not tell me why I was blocked in the first place.

No. sqrt(2) is an irrational number characterized as the positive solution to x^2 - 2 = 0. It's described by a very small amount of data. Even its decimal expansion can be determined up to any precision by a simple algorithm.

No, I stand by it. People who cry about straight representation are goblins at best. That's who's being mocked, not straight people.

Yeah. Normal whoppers are crunchy. 1 in 4 whoppers is soggy and chewy and hard to eat

Whoppers are good but the risk of getting a bad one is not worth it. Ech

Well, it was a generalization after all. The point is that cheating is easy and indeed people do it. Not that nobody ever failed because they weren't given enough of a chance.

You might think most people who pass math classes learned what the class is about, but that's not correct. People pass by learning slightly less than the bare minimum and cheating.

We didn't. Students cheat on their homework and do poorly on tests and beg and whine for ways to make up the grade with other cheatable assignments.

I'm stuck on the homological algebra exercise

Don't think it saves bandwidth unless it's a DNS level block, which IT should also do but separately from uBO

No, it isn't
