But chew on this. On earth machines need humans. Humans don't need machines.

We are organic machines that have been around longer than artificial machines and thus are more complex. All you're doing is proving my point further. Enough of the pseudo-philosophical nonsense. Make an actual argument please or just stop posting in the thread.

What you're saying here disproves your previous statement:

We have computers nowadays that generate "random" numbers with algorithms that use natural phenomena as a variable such as atmospheric noise, which for all intents and purposes can be regarded as "random" by your definition.
So we already have computers that can generate random results. Far more random than a toddler flipping a coin, anyway

I'll make it easier for you, just answer this. Other than being made of different stuff and having been around for longer, in what ways are we different from machines?

Ok then I'll go first I guess. The big difference between a human mind and a computer is that while a modern CPU might have a few billion transistors, our brains have something like 100 trillion synapses. We're just more complex than any artificial machine because we've had billions of years to evolve naturally while machines have only been around for a couple thousand years.
The other obvious difference is that computers are created artificially using inorganic matter whereas living things are a naturally-occurring self-sustaining organic chemical reaction.
Now to your counter argument

The insecurity you must experience. Bill Krozby has never claimed to have money. Your the one who feels inferior as evidenced by your constant need to tell others how much money you have. The fact that you post here and think your wealthy is sad. Not one person here will ever have true monetary wealth. But there are a few lucky bastards that understand true wealth is not locked in a vault but found in freeing yourself from the chains that your idea of wealth forges. The freedom to go where you want as the years roll by and never having to worrying about food, shelter, clothing, or any other true needs us more wealth than one man can spend.
So sit there in your palatial hovel pricing it, your possessions, and your worthless paper as your enslavement continues.
Or to quote Neil Peart;
You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that’s clear
I will choose free will.

Christ you are so fucking boring. What difference does it make what the god damn cat was wearing, AND the reason why it was wearing that?? In fact it looks like that whole first part of the story had nothing to do with the rest of it, other than the fact that it's ALSO an event that happened during your lifetime.
Are you fucking 5 years old? Can you not sort through your own internal dialogue well enough to separate inane bullshit from the actual point that you're trying to communicate?
That whole wall of verbal diarrhea could have been compressed to maybe one paragraph and possibly could have been interesting enough to even read. MAYBE.
My god you're just a username on a screen and I fucking hate you. How can anyone in real life stand to be around you for more than 10 seconds.

I find it to be a nice effect, sexual desires are so crude and the pleasures fleeting, it traps you in a horrible cycle that cucks like Lanny attempt to rationalize.
What sounds more like rationalization: accepting you have inevitable biological needs and desires and acting to satiate them or saying that through pure rationality running on a shitty ape brain you've come to the conclusion the things that have defined your ancestors for longer than they've been human just isn't for you?
Like, why are you still with church girl? Isn't it an embarrassment on some level? Don't you feel any sense of self-disgust?
Because I like her, and sex feels good, and human companionship is nice? Is the courtship ritual absurd? Totally. Is the biological compulsion to participate in it frustrating at times? Yeah. But eating and sleeping and brushing my teeth are all annoying indignities too but they're all necessary to sustain higher order functions.

Heyyyyy, are you so socially inept that all your friends/acquaintances are in the CS field, or do you have anyone who would be interested in a case study in genuine anthropophobia?
No one who's in the social sciences. But you blew off your last psychiatrist right? You should go back, give treatment a real chance instead of thinking you always know better than everyone else.

Anyway, Lanny, since it was so easy to convince you to try meth you should also try cocaine:
I've done cocaine. I liked it but it was a little too rush-y for my taste.

It is true in a purely mathematical framework, assuming a defined end point and growth by size.
First, a tree is never fully grown unless you count it's end of life. Secondly, to answer Saturday assumes that by half grown, you are referring to having achieved half the size of the size designated as full grown. This is not a reasonable assumption. Trees, as all organisms, have a growth plate over time.
What would ordinarily be considered the wrong answer, Thursday, is the right answer with regards to its growth plate over time, assuming the tree is planted as a sprout. If not, the answer is "never" because the tree does not exist when planted as a seed. 2x0 is 0.
that's a really dumb gotcha answer bro
I guess it's non-obvious, but like in the same way as saying "I never actually planted a tree sucker! You sure look dumb now!"

Yeah, it actually has gotten pretty bad. I don't really want to police it because I can tell you right now every single person in this thread has a different idea of what's acceptable and what isn't and you're all going to get mad at me over some decision or another, but the current state of things doesn't work. TDR and bill got day long bans for this thread, it'll go up in the future. Some guidelines:
infinityshock: your gaysex jokes are literally the most unfunny thing anyone has done on this site. Remember when it was invogue to literally post pictures of your shit? Your shtick is worse than that by like a mile. I will start banning you if that's the only content in your replies to serious threads.
spacecat: zattex posting is borderline, the spambot situation is a lot better than it used to be, let's lay off the front page flushes if you're just posting some 3-fade macro instead of actually responding to threads.
TDR: I actually thought some of your image macros were like kinda humorous the first time you posted them. Spoiler posting and reusing the same image in every thread and dragging out little bitch-fights for pages is not. Don't do that.
everyone else: It's easier to manage the quality of threads if you make them in the topical forums instead of SG and report off topic posts (I don't read every thread on this site), I have limited patience for you if you make your thread in the commons and complain when other people shit on it.

I went to an agricultural high school, there's a lot more to it than you might think
traditional farming practices are easy enough to learn just growing up on a farm or picking it up on the job, but modern practices and methods are a lot more complicated.
