On the free open WiFi from my hotel in Poland 
Having a good vacation so far.
Seen some beautiful churches and buildings, had a small tour in a small castle and had a good walk in a forest (where we spotted a frog, a salamander and a snake!).
Tomorrow we're going for a big tour in a big castle and probably another walk.
The math is really fun too... How to fit an infinite collection into another infinite collection?
I hope to put that into practice on my bank account (∅) one day, I see no further practical uses for it

Is that the traditional question about the hotel with infinite rooms, all booked, and a coach with infinite people turning up to stay?
(Move the existing guests from room n to room 2 × n, and put the new guests in the now vacant odd-numbered rooms.)
If so, have you got to the infinite number of infinite coaches turning up yet?
Wait until you get on to the other Aleph numbers[^].

Yeah, I've had the hotel with infinite rooms (not the one I'm currently staying though).
Haven't read about coaches yet.

It's easy until you try and create an
InfiniteCollection<InfiniteCollection<InfiniteCollection<...>>>
and the Universe overflows.

That's the "infinite number of infinite coaches" part.
Just line the elements up in a grid, and number them diagonally:
1 2 4 7 ...
3 5 8 ...
6 9 ...
10 ...
Then read them off in sequence, and they all fit on the one coach InfiniteCollection<T>.

There's a very simple answer - use a Credit Union 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

To me, coffee is a poisonous, disgusting brew. I generally drink a good English Breakfast tea, although I have been known to forget it, microwave it, and drink it the next day. I prefer my tea 'stewpid', which affronts my English friends no end.

I like coffee and English tea. When I am done poisoning myself with coffee, I drink English tea as an antidote.

To avoid the coffee craving, just keep drinking it! Simple!

I don't avoid a coffee craving, since I have never had one. The stuff tastes horrible. I was once handed a cup after being up for four days straight fighting a small forest fire. That was worse than the actual fire, and I threw it away after getting a smell

I understand. But diversity makes the world interesting. To each his own: You like tea and I drink coffee (too much of it).
