while just looking at the scenario itself, that's all pretty fair. but the company's efforts to commoditize its labor directly brought that boring job into existence.

we probably need to transition to bringing our own reusable packaging/bottling for that stuff.
this is exactly what i was trying to get at
what about numbers after 64? comment OP and i were trying to come up with a universal rule which we did in his response to my first comment
what about numbers larger than 16?
i know about hexadecimal, but what if you need to refer to a base larger than 16? i'm not saying it isn't possible to create symbols for every number, i'm saying if you have to describe your base with more than one digit, you encounter a problem of not knowing what base that multi-digit number is in.
that's fair, translating down is a good idea
we'd only be able to represent bases for numbers with one digit though because what does base 15+1 mean? the 15 could be in any base higher than 5. the clearest way would probably be to just represent it with lines or something "base ||||||||||"
that's really interesting, didn't know that about humans.
yeah for sure, all abstractions are just that: abstractions. and it's fun to pick at their holes
only types 1 and 2 are really recyclable and even those can only be recycled once or twice before the polymers are basically ruined and can't be used again
i think it would depend on whether the genes from the mother or embryo build the shell.
