Mathematicians, a plea for understanding. Or at least I point out a curiosity.
I was playing around in ivy (high precision calculator) with Stirling's approximation and noticed something. I compute (Stirling N)/N! for successive powers of 10:
approx 10 100 1000 10000 100000 1000000
0.99170403955606148634 0.99916701656784300017 0.99991667014156998579 0.99999166670139157019 0.99999916666701389157 0.99999991666667013889
The successive approximations improve (approach 1.0) by one decimal digit of result for each digit of argument, but that's not the curious part. The curious part happens after the 9's: the result seems to be trending towards a limit of 0.9...166666...... It adds not only a 9 for each input digit, it extends the next part by a digit 6 for every factor of 10. Now 1/6 is 0.166666 and that makes me think there's something going on here.
Is this true? Is it known? Is it proven?

Free advice: When something Not Great happens that's relevant to Black folks or Jewish or queer or Arabic folks, such as hate crimes or laws restricting civil rights…
…please check in with your friends and colleagues who might be emotionally affected even if they're not directly connected
Sharing kind sentiments is as easy as "I heard about some recent events. You don't have to say anything, but I'm thinking about you and I care about your well-being ❤️"…

It’s exactly four weeks ago today that the Jeffrey Epstein story broke,
or re-broke in its current form.
On Friday, July 11, the world learned of the tense meeting that took place at the White House that previous Wednesday,
in which FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino clashed with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Epstein files.
Bongino was so incensed that he didn’t go to work that Friday
and threatened to resign.
He has, at least for now…
