>man's don't speak german

Without loss of generality, you can assign the mu-integrable function X sub S into the set of all partial derivatives, and take v, which is the set function v(S) as applied to alpha sub I times the characteristic function for S, through all characteristic functions of I. You end up with a lebesgue measure of the range of all partial derivatives for all numbers 1 through i in S.

And that, Lloyd Shapley is how you make a woman cum, and then do it again before you ejaculate in her tight pussy!

>>14825193
I mean jeez, I think we could have derived that simple fact without the use of the lebesgue measure, don't you think? Holy cow, what an unnecessary step that was Lloyd Shapley! *silly honking sound* Wee Wooo oopsie daisie! :3
