Every turn of the wheel would still twist the strap, pulling it tighter

Psionic might have some extra sensory perception as well.

I don’t think they would care about that unless there was a long line and you left no tip.

10 shannons, that is, 10 bits, each with 50% probability would be equivalent to the amount of information gained from observing an event with 1/1024 chance of occurring, not 1/10. Thats because this unit gets combined multiplicatively. The wikipedia article mentions that if there are 8 possible events with equal probability, the information content would be 3 shannons.

I agree with you, but I don’t agree with the way you are presenting the point, and it could be a miscommunication, so I’ll explain:

Historically, ‘All Lives Matter’ was used to diminish the BLM movement. It is used as a response when it should be the premise. All Lives Matter, therefore Black Lives Matter, not the other way around.

I think the comment replying to you was using the All Lives Matter metaphor to say that your comment about it being a human being that was killed is deliberately ignoring the struggles for trans people. But the way they phrased it was very subtle.

There are only 4.29 billion possible values of an int32, so even if you used 2 lines for each case, it’d still be under 10 billion lines of code

bool isOdd(int num) {
    if (num == 1)
        { return true; }
    if (num == 2)
        { return false; }
    if (num == 3)
        { return true; }
    …
}

Because there are no units, the equation can only be used to compare one rate of work to another rate of work at a different time (or a different deadline).

ratio of rate of work at time t1 compared to rate of work at time t2

= rate_of_work(t1, d) / rate_of_work(t2, d)

= (1 / (d - t1)) / (1 / (d - t2))

= (d - t2) / (d - t1)

This works because the only variables left are in the same units, even if that unit itself is unspecified.

Im think it was designed with a clock in mind. That’s why it starts with north at the 12:00 position and goes clockwise. I learned it as ‘Never Eat Soggy Waffles’ but I’m sure there are a bunch of these.

I’d take a term of Mitt Romney over Trump. At least he

• had respect for the office
• could articulate sentences in a clear manor
• had a plan, and could explain it
• wasn’t a convicted felon/rapist
• had decorum in discourse/debates

Can confirm. I only had a bit of trouble with the last frame but was able to translate perfectly from context.

X is privately owned. Like all social media companies, it has no obligation to be a microphone for anyone.

Theoretically the electorals could go blue without winning any districts. It would require a third party to win at least one district though.

If voters were uninformed, they wouldn’t have left or right bias. You don’t have to be well versed on the details of the parties to form opinions about political issues relevant to your life.

I feel like faith provides a disproportionate of comfort compared to guidance. People take the parts of religion they agree with, and discard the rest. I actually think this is good practice, but it becomes an issue when they use the affirmation of the broader religion to justify their actions.

A moral compass is something you have to find for yourself, and acknowledge that it is not backed up or justified by any other entity than yourself.

For me, I’ve found a good starting point is the TST tenets. Compared to the 10 commandments, they are much more broad. I can use them as a lens to analyze a variety of different situations and organize my thoughts and feelings.

But that doesn’t mean that I use TST to justify my actions, the tenets are my tools of introspection. Heck, the 7th tenet even acknowledges that the tenets are only guiding principles and seems to encourage finding your own morals.

It depends on the type of vegan. If they are vegan because they don’t like hurting animals, then lab grown meat is fine. If they are vegan because eating meat has a negative effect on their health, then it’s not fine.

I uninstalled the YT app on my phone and use the desktop site exclusively now. Can’t stand watching without ad block and sponsor block. I also blocked shorts.

Its pretty clear that Mark and Micheal Reeves don’t focus as much on design and iteration so much as the ideas behind their creations. The content formula for their videos is different from the other youtube creators you mentioned. If that style of video isn’t your cup of tea, thats ok.

As for the inventions themselves, I have to disagree. I think some of Mark’s creations are fairly well designed, such as the later versions of the glitter bombs.
