People will complain about weather extremes until the end of civilization. ****! Extreme heat and cold are what us cyclists live for, dudes.

On monday i walked to the train, and took that into work, but still managed to sweat my ass off between the underground stations, and the walking. Afterwards i figured hell with that, and ride in, felt quite nice, with the rushing wind, and really only felt uncomfortable at red lights and the time i got stuck behind a bus. Its not all that bad, but i did hear that a women had passed out while on her bike on lafayette from someone who stopped by pargon, so don't over-do it.

and if you allow i to represent "n/0;as long as n does not equal 0," then infinity divided by infinity could be represented as:
i/i
or
1
which would make sense, as infinity is little more than a representation of an undefined groupset, and any group set devided by itself would equal 1:
{1,5,23,1888}/{1,5,23,1888}=1
another interesting way of showing infinity divided by infinity is:
(n/0) X (0/n); as long as n does not equal 0
since dividing any number by a fraction is the same as multiplying that number by the inverse of the fraction:
(1/(1/2))=(1X(2/1))
this leads to an interesting situation because the inverse of n/0 is 0/n, or 0. So basicaly you are multiplying infinity by zero:
(n/0)X0

a more general expression would be
(n/0)/(m/o) where m and n are not equal to zero
therefore, infinity divided by infinity would be n/m and can in fact be any rational number

yes while true, theoreticaly, what you are inferring are two seperate infinities, as to which could not exist, as infinity encompasses all. if two infinities were to exist then each would, seperately, contain the other, forming a singular infinity. But if you wanted to throw the laws of physics out the window, you could describe two seperate infinities as, "infinity A contains infinity B, which contains infinity A, which contains infinity B..."

also, as infinity has no value, no matter what the value of n nor m would be, the resulting value would be the same. to prove this look at the sum of their inverses:
(0/n)+(0/m)=0; where neither n nor m equal 0
Their value is irrelevant, as long as it's not 0.
(0/n)+(0/m)=0; where neither n nor m equal 0
Their value is irrelevant, as long as it's not 0.

and actually, my first statement was a bit misleading. infinity/infinity is actually undefined. however, the limit as a variable approaches infinity is a useful technique in many areas (yes, even physics
)take the expression
(1 + 3x^2) over (1+x^2)
as x approaches infinity, both the top and bottom sides of the fraction approach infinity as well (one might think of this as infinity divided by infinity, but it's really a limit as you approach infinity)
the entire expression, however, neither approaches infinity, nor 1, but 3. you can plug it into a calculator or apply L'Hopital's rule to verify.

For example- the set of intergers is infinite. the set of real numbers is also infinite.
however, for each member of the set intergers, there are an infinite number of members of the set of real numbers.
so [set of real numbers]/[set of intergers]= infinity.
for examples where there is a finite realationship btwn the sets, this does not hold, as in
[set of intergers]/[set of even numbers]=/ infinity
