Theoretically it should be aleph-zero by midnight - if we ever get to midnight, that is!

But I’m assuming Zeno doesn’t send an infinite number of messages. I’m a little worried because I’m not sure if my phone can store that many.

Ha! In practice there’s a granularity of something like 1 minute or 5 minutes – I forget which.

So the max number is something like 9.

Of course you can control how many you get by picking when they start and by dispatching your beemergency early. 🙂

Speaking of transfinites, I saw on the QS page that one Cantor Soule-Reeves is speaking. I wonder if he was conceived on the Diag…

😂 Holy cow I almost spit all over my monitor. Did you also go to Michigan?

(Context for everyone else: The mathematician Cantor, famous for his diagonalization argument showing that infinities can have different sizes, is who one of our babies (the 2nd human one, not Beeminder or the [other human one](http://blog.beeminder.com/faire)) is named for. And at U of M where @bee and I went to school there’s [The Diag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diag) and, ok, I’m overexplaining.
