    Fractions are just funky when dividing. Dividing by 0.5 is the same multiplying by 2.

    Your analogy is really close, but backwards is all. If you have a quarter of an apple. In order to get half a whole apple, you need another quarter. Two quarters make a half, so dividing a quarter by 0.5 gives you 2 quarters. Dividing a quarter by 2 gives you 0.5 of the original quarter which is your 1/8th















  • MacOS is really the only one I never understood unless you’re really tied to the Apple ecosystem.

    I’d argue the “just use Linux” meme is more relevant for Mac users than Windows.

    I want to love Linux as well, but it does require some troubleshooting skills I’m too lazy for these days Additionally, some of my games require anti-cheats that just don’t work on Linux.
