I looked up Fermat primes, and was saddened that 256^2 + 1 was not prime. Those kind of facts are why I dug into math as a kid. Now that I'm old, I've forgotten most of it.   Violin Use it or lose it is so true.

Actually, 256^2 +1 =65537 *is* prime. The next one, 65536^2 +1 is not.

Blush I knew that, but I wrote 256^2 +1 instead of 65536^2 +1. I blame not being fully caffeinated.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I wondered if there was a connection to Jordan Peterson. He apparently thinks highly of lobsters.

No. I despise Jordan Peterson's views.

Yeah. Lover of lobsters is the content of the username. But what does that mean? Do you love lobsters so much that you oppose the killing and eating of them? -OR- Do you love the taste of their muscle tissue, especially when dipped in drawn butter?

That's two very different takes on the concept "lover of lobsters."

Well it could be either or neither of those (there are many ways to love something).

However, that was not specified. The point is that I love lobsters. That is what the username means. That I love lobsters. The form of love is unspecified.

P.S. There is at least one way in which I do not love them. Thank goodness.

RE: What does your username mean?
I changed my username. I tried to change it to simply L but it needed to be at least 3 characters long. Hence The L.

What does my username mean? It's simply a character from the anime Deathnote. A character that I identify with a great deal.

Here are some of his quotations:

'I just find [phones] distracting. I can't stand when people's cell phones are ringing when I'm trying to talk.'

'He who strikes first wins.'

'I have no idea what's going on.'

Quotes taken from Wikiquote.

It's my name, believe it or not. Also I'm a goddess. So my mother was prescient.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
