If only this was true. Because then 97.8% of the population would be on the fediverse

I always found it funny to read it as Sharon, and now you're telling me it's named after someone called Charlene? This keeps getting better

You could say something like "the image of exponentiation over...." to mean the set of values created by applying the function once, but it sounds slightly clunky.

Looks like there aren't really very many sets of mostly transcendental numbers that have names. Computational numbers and periods are two of them, I'd guess that both probably contain your set, so you could compare with those to see where it gets you.

Fun question! I don't know the answer other than to say it's not just the algebraics because of the Gelfond-Schneider constant

Are you sure this is well-defined? You say that a and b are algebraic but "closure" implies that they could also be any members of S. This might mess up your proof that it's not all the reals if you do mean the closure.

Currently, employees have the legal right to request flexible working, but there is no obligation on companies to agree. That balance of power is to be shifted, with companies instead legally obliged to offer flexible working from day one except where it is “not reasonably feasible”.

Seems this isn't about a 4 day week specifically, but about employers being required to give their reasons when they reject flexible working requests. The telegraph is just using it as an example of something an employee could request.

Lapsang Souchong tea, most people seem to hate it. Also plastic glue

Nice that this illustrates the relative apparent size of Saturn and the Moon in the sky, as you can only just see the moon's curvature. Makes Saturn seem more like a real place to see it next to something very familiar

Use it to find the mooving average

"could be"?!

Don't think I'd want to subject the poor spider to that, however funny it would be for onlookers!
