That would imply counting to some arbitrary integer. The joke was implying he was going to count ALL negative integers. So he would need to do what you said, and then take the limit as n approaches negative infinity.
What do you mean? I've been assured by many people that we can't do anything about car infrastructure because "its always been that way". Are you saying that cities weren't built for cars, but instead were destroyed to make room for cars over the last only 50ish years?
This is just wrong though. The theory of continental drift was proposed hundreds of years ago. We just didn't know how it happened. Plate tectonics is just the mechanism that explains it.
Just like people knew that they needed to breath to survive for a long time before we knew that it was because there was oxygen in the air that our cells needed to under go cellular respiration.
Funny you compare fire arms to cars, because I believe that both fit in the category of "things your average person should not have in public". I want more regulation on guns AND cars.
And just because nitrous mods are illegal, doesn't make your average car any safer.
Then you are in an engineering course.
