What is associativity?

And how do you lose commutativity of muptiplication?

[Sheb]

And is there any hope that a mere biologist could understand why only numbers plotting on a space with 2ⁿ dimensions exists?

[Helgoland]

Associativity means  that (a*b)*c = a*(b*c). For an example of multiplication being non-commutative look at the 2x2-matrices (1 1/0 0) and (0 1/0 1), where / means a line break. Multiplied one way they give (0 0/0 0), multiplied the other way they give (0 2/0 0).

And is there any hope that a mere biologist could understand why only numbers plotting on a space with 2ⁿ dimensions exists?

I'll look up the proof.

Can't guarantee you'll be as successful picking chicks with math in Belgium as you were in Russia, but I at least would be interested.

Is Critical Role worth watching?

[Reelya]

IDK, watching a 3-5 hour stream per week of someone playing D&D isn't my idea of worthwhile time spent. I could literally finish an entire anime TV series in the time of each episode.

Or we could just you know, get some people together to actually play D&D.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I hardly see why you should do that, nobody actually plays D&D, it's just a Turing Trap to contain the AI population in perpetuity.

[Arx]

someone playing D&D

It's professional voice actors, so you're somewhat underselling it here. I know someone who absolutely loves it.

Of course, I'd love to do that. That is something I would love to do.
I would love to do such a thing as that, but sadly it is not really an option for me currently.
I was thinking perhaps watching a stream of D&D would scratch the itch/satisfy the longing I've had to play it lately. Assuming the players are bearable, of course.

As for other things I could be doing with my time, well, I could always play computer games, watch Netflix or perhaps watch PlumpHelmetPunk's SS13 videos, but I do plenty of those things anyway. Also, when I do stumble upon a show I like, other distractions are always a welcome thing lest I binge-watch my way through it too quickly and have none left to watch. Looking at you, BoJack. >.>

Ok...

Is there a term for something that is expensive but very trashy and garish?

Like... it is showey but shows such an extreme lack of class that you look like a rich idiot?

...'garish'. Also gaudy, noveau-riche, flashy and a ton of synonyms in varying shades of meaning.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

"Gauche" is probably what you want.

[Yoink]

Fashionable.     

[Neonivek]

Ok super DUPER embarrassing question...

I wonder this because I've seen enough anime, videogames, and risqué art pieces for this to come up.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

How in the way are huge boobs for women? Outside possible back pain.

I know the answer is probably "not at all", but goodness was simply watching some Huge breasted woman boil pasta making me seriously worry she was going to burn herself.

I'd ask this question elsewhere... but I REALLY want it handled with maturity and lack of porn.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

While I am neither a woman nor in possession of huge breasts, the sense I've gotten from the women I know is that constantly having them around means having the experience to keep them out of the way.
