Damn. 😞

A wiser feller'n myself once said that pets leave paw prints on your heart. Good way of putting it.

@george-k experts predict that at least 60% of people exposed to DiHydrogen Monoxide will die.

I think it is closer to 94.3%. 5555

Statistics!! You can turn them to say what you want them to say.

Over 70% of cancerous tumors have shown high concentrations of DiHydrogen Monoxide...

@jolly Simple answer. $20 Minimum Wage FTW!

I'm sure Camel-toe had a freshly cleaned cage for them...

I think it’s great. I just don’t understand the sudden surprise. I don’t believe in surprises except for the recipient.

I have loved reading Meachum’s books. Franklin and Winston comes to mind. That said he is an active advocate of Biden which should be noted, not wearing dispassionate historian hat on this one.

@loki Yeah, that one got to me too.

Shit gotta file mine.

CBS: "Police in Houston have taken a 26-year-old suspect, who earlier on Monday was accused of fleeing from police with his pet tiger, into custody."

Etsy sent me those emails for both Mother's Day and Father's Day. I opted out of both.

Some people don't want to get those emails, and I'm one of those people. I wish more retailers would offer the opt out feature. Etsy is trying to be nice, and I appreciate it.

In light of what is going on in India is it possible that Denmark and Norway are just whistling past the graveyard?

@jon-nyc said in Puzzle time: the runt of random points:

@Horace My original intuition was similar to yours but with a different formula.

The probabilities would be additive, not multiplicative, no?

So if m is the expected minimum value, that meant that:

10 * p(x<m) = 0.5, or
p(x<m) = 0.05
which gave me 1/20.

But as you pointed out that would be a median value, the mean would be higher than that.

My formula gives the correct median. It's the chance of rolling higher than "x" 10 times in a row, so multiplicative.

An old white man is not allowed to have a position if it varies from the critical race theory crowd.

It is OK in Oklahoma.

I have been sent an email from Emily from China asking me to review products. Once my review was up, they would refund the price of the product through Pay Pal (like the article says). I did it once for exercise bands. They weren't terrible, but weren't great. I probably would have given them 4-5 stars as they did what they were advertised to do.

However, since I knew I was going to get the price back, I did feel bad if I did not give them 5 stars.

That was the only time I did it.

Mr. Biden, save your breath...
