carrying capacity of the earth is at least 15 perhaps 20 billion
No it isn't. It's just not possible to sustain our current world population and living standard without oil.
Israel seems to manage fine (though not without trouble and ingenuity)
Yes! Israel just takes all the water it wants, and leaves droplets to occupied Palestinian territories. How ingenious!
And when we don't have enough oil for everybody, we'll have a huge fucking problem.
Climate change and peak oil wouldn't be a problem at all with less than 1 billion humans on the planet.
Urban people have a smaller ecological footprint

There's an ecological optimum somewhere between a hamlet and a megalopolis. If you live in a remote place, you need to take the car for many basic needs. If you live in a huge city, you need to import all your food, and export all your waste.
we're going to drive the bus off that extinction cliff while singing happy days are here again.
I *love* that song. And boy, look at that wonderful view!
When you say no to beta anal fisting, you still get it very slowly, one finger at a time.
You're both correct for X divided by zero. It's simply not defined.
But GP was right for "Y plus red" and "Z times pineapple".
Both are defined in a mathematical sense :
* If Y is an integer, "Y+red" is defined in the free abelian group on the generator {1,red}.
* My math is rusty, but "Z times pineapple" should be defined in a multi-variable polynomial ring.
You don't need physics to define any of them. You can draw parallel to physical units, but you don't need to.
Finally, you're free to think that math is a human invention. My personal feeling is that we discover math more than we invent it, but I guess we'll never know for sure.
lim x->0 x^2/x = 2
Let's pretend you didn't write it, okay?
Exactly.
On a related note, could we please kill the developer(s) that wrote the CSV import for Excel?
Depending on your regional settings, importing a cell containing 3.14 could yield 3.14, 3140 or 14th of March.
Sure, kill the messenger.
All those facts are well documented : feel free to look for other sources.
It's typical of this damn conflict. Both sides are so extreme that they consider any centerish point of view to be extremely biased.
I was indeed talking about military-conflict situations.
How is ISIS not involved in a military conflict?
It hasn't been posted on Facebook, but the point is still valid :

For the US & Israel, a few months are actually enough.
Wait what?
If that's not news for nerds, I don't know what it is.
lunatics who behead people or burn people alive
Please name one western country that didn't do either of them in the last 75 years.
