@barefootstache @kohelet Uh, this was really about a mathematical model, one that is slightly too simplified to justify even vague interpretations like this. I don't think it applies to the real world, even if your attempts to make it apply have some merit.

I have just mathematically proven that you gotta be pessimistic to be effective.*

*might be a slightly unjustified interpretation of the result

nonsense 

@keith @dhfir
So I spent way too much time thinking about this and now you'll have to suffer my thoughts.

So first of all, we are most likely talking about humans, so we should be talking about stones instead of pounds, and getting stoned in bed is quite a different activity. This means it's probably euroed.

However, this does not really resolve the situation, because Americans don't get dollared, they get railed. This suggest we only have half the picture. To get the remaining information we have to look to Polish – a rail in Polish is "tor", and "pół tora" is 1.5, giving 3 in total. This means that the full phrase for Europeans should be "3 euroed".

Which, probably not coincidentally, is how much it costs when your mum is involved.

my 4yo: no... e-mail?

condescension 

@wizzwizz4 I like this general approach, but I worry about actual cognitive limitations in sufficiently young children (even beyond the obvious ones like babies). I think the approach is almost surely valid for anyone above 12yo and I suspect the actual age is usually lower, but I'm not very confident in any of this.

terrible idea, hopefully not offensive 

@Dee They should add dysphoria/euphoria for various body parts and gender expression within DDA. It would fit the already existing character perks, there is already support for extensive surgery because of bionics, and, most importantly, it would finally be possible to roleplay as a literally self-made post-apocaliptic trans cyborg.

Obviously a Blåhaj would be an early game item lowering the dysphoria penalties.

Someone added a shark plushie to Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, making it, presumably, one of the first Blåhaj-enabled post-apocalyptic zombie-themed roguelikes.

@chjara C++ is the bubble porn of programming languages - pretend parts of it don't exist and it becomes usable for its intended purpose.

I might also be misinterpreting this, the supreme court technically only said they haven't committed the specific crime they were charged with, perhaps this is just a case of pursuing incorrect charges?

What the heck am I reading? Apparently blatant political revenge on voters is legal in the US? Actually, I wonder in which countries that would be illegal, since it might be legal just because it's rare?

Knightian uncertainty is just intuitionism for Bayesians.

@schratze Only in euclidean flat space. Simplest example of a triangle that does not satisfy this is one that you draw on a sphere with one corner on a pole and two others a quarter of the equator away from each other on the equator. This one has 3 right angles, for a total of 270 degrees.

Such triangles have lots of fun properties wherever they pop up, if you like strange but relatively simple math I recommend reading up on Lobachevsky spaces.

My torrent is still very much alive and being seeded for those of you looking for a curated alternative to creepy/crappy YouTube videos for kids-

RT @RealSexyCyborg@twitter.com

Someone has found and seeded all the files on my list of Curated Children’s Educational Videos. It's approximately 400 hours of selected life and physical science documentary videos as an alternative to well...YouTube garbage.
