This is true.  0.99999.... repeating to infinity is not really really really close to 1.0.  It equals 1.0.

0.9…, or in a variety of other variants such as 0.9, 0.(9)... 0. 9 ˙ {\displaystyle 0.{\dot   denotes a real number that can be shown to be the number one. In other words, the symbols "0.999…" and "1" represent the same number. Proofs of this equality have been formulated with varying degrees of mathematical rigor, taking into account preferred development of the real numbers, background assumptions, historical context, and target audience.

There are a variety of ways to demonstrate this to nonbelievers.

The most easily understood is to revert to other familiar repeating digits.  Everyone knows that 1/3 is 0.333... and that 2/3 is 0.666...  If you add them together, you get 3/3, which is one.

But now note that the sum of the decimals on the right side of the equation is 0.999...

Therefore, one is equal to (not close to) .999...

You don't agree?  Then try this.  Subtract .999... from one.  What you have is 0.000...  An infinitely long string of zeroes, which can only be equal to zero.  And if the subtraction of .999... from one leaves zero, then the .999... must be one.  But, you say, there's a one at the end that string of zeroes.  No, there isn't, because the string of 9s doesn't end.

Other proofs are offered at the Wikipedia entry.

Does the title seem ungrammatical to you?  If so, you're probably not from the Upper Midwest, where that terminal "with" is a common construction.  Last night I watched the movie "Fargo" and heard that sentence in the dialogue.

Historical immigration patterns are probably responsible:

In [North-Central American English], the preposition with is used without an object as an adverb in phrases like come with, as in Do you want to come with? for standard Do you want to come with me? or with us?. In standard English, other prepositions can be used as adverbs, like go down (down as adverb) for go down the stairs (down as preposition). With is not typically used in this way in standard English (particularly in British and its clone Irish English because of being distinguished as the original form of the English language), and this feature likely came from languages spoken by some immigrants, such as Scandinavian... German.. or Dutch... all of which have this construction, like Swedish kom med.

A few months ago, I learned that Cadbury was selling Oreo creme-filled chocolate eggs in Canada. Some early pictures made it look as though the cookies n’ cream creme filling would be soft, much like that of a Cadbury creme egg, though pictures of the product in stores showed a firmer center. Oreo fans in the US began to clamor for a taste of this treat and, earlier this year, it was confirmed that we would get to have a taste of a very similar treat. I admit that I put a notification on my phone to remind me to keep my eyes out for these as Easter approached and, sure enough, they’re now widely available in my area.

The eggs are a bit smaller than Cadbury Creme Eggs, but have a fantastic plastic packaging that is both easier to open than the foil-wrapped eggs and seems to offer a bit more protection to the egg inside. All of the eggs I opened looked picture-perfect. The eggs are milk chocolate and are filled with a cookies n’ cream filling that is a bit softer than that of a regular Oreo cookie, but firm enough that there is no risk it will run out of the egg and make your fingers sticky. The creme has a vanilla base and is studded with crumbs of chocolate wafer cookie. The whole thing is sweet, but the milk chocolate contrasts with the sweet center surprisingly well and the small pieces of cookie ensure that you will get some crunch in every bite. I don’t think that I could eat these as easily if they were any larger (they are excellent with hot coffee), so the size works well for me. I personally wouldn’t mind seeing a little variety in the cookie bits – some larger and some smaller pieces – just to mix things up, but it’s a fun, sweet egg to add to your Easter basket this year!

My family has always cooked our Passover brisket in the oven, low and slow. It’s delicious, but takes over three hours to make! This year, I wanted to see if I could speed up the process using a pressure cooker.

And you know what? You can.

Using a pressure cooker, you can make tender, deeply flavorful brisket with a thick, rich gravy in about half the time!
