    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.

    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.

    @loki said in "The President's words don't represent the position of the administration.": 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. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/oklahoma-governor-bans-critical-race-gender-based-theory-in-public-schools-and-universities Oklahoma governor bans critical race, gender-based theory in public schools and universities 'Now more than ever, we need policies that bring us closer together – not rip us apart,' said Gov.

    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.
