The jury is out on whether every finite sequence of digits is contained in pi.
However, there are a multitude of real numbers that contain every finite sequence of digits when written in base 10. Here’s one, which is defined by concatenating the digits of every non-negative integer in increasing order. It looks like this:
0 . 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ...
Imagine if we discovered a creature that evolved fourth-dimensional sensory organs (aka time eyes) that it used to predict its prey. From the outside, it would just appear to have absurd reaction speed. Such a creature might have a strange relationship with time, perhaps appearing to sleep most of the day because they already know what’s going to happen. I’m here today to tell you that cats are this creature.
Just to add another anecdatum, I had the exact same experience installing Windows 11 this year. I have never had this much trouble installing an OS in the 20 years I’ve been screwing with computers.
I don’t understand any of these analogies at all
Once upon a time, my landlord’s management company tried to shake me down for an additional day of rent. I pointed out that my rental agreement stated I would pay exactly $x every month, so they can pound sand. They, too, decided to “let it slide.” How magnanimous.
(Edit: I just remembered, first they tried to argue the contract shouldn’t have been written that way so I still had to pay. Wtf.)
I swear they must have created a new spreadsheet with an off-by-one error somewhere and mailed out hundreds of bills instead of double checking.
