That escalated quickly.

You realize that some astronauts are actually accomplished scientists whose job in space is to perform experiments, right? Not all of them are military guys.

They each only get one guess. If they use the guess to tell the person in front of them what color their hat is, then they were wrong about their own hat unless the two hats happened to be the same color. You can’t both communicate to the person after you and make a correct guess about your hat without some more…

ONLY animals that prefer Beethoven to Mozart take taxis in Bond Street. Subtle but important distinction. The implication is actually the other way around, animals that take taxis in Bond Street prefer Beethoven to Mozart.

You messed up 2. If the animal prefers Beethoven then they take taxis. This means that no armadillos go to the parties and therefore no armadillos like pickled walnuts.

crack has a longer mandatory minimum than coke when they are the same drug but one is used by poor people and minorities and one is used mainly by white middle class people

Infinite. Given n points, there is a unique polynomial of at most degree n-1 which goes through all those points. So, given the finite sequence, choose any final number and there will be a polynomial that fits the original sequence and ends with your chosen final number.

If 1% of the time you walked outside someone was there to shoot you in the face, would that be acceptable? It’s only 1%, I mean come on. That’s barely any at all. Why are you upset about 1%?

Where did you get 22? That’s a crazy number, it is more like 5 times. But your point stands.

Yeah but what about people who don’t give a shit about organic? My grocery store (and others in poor neighborhoods) barely has any produce at all! If Whole Foods opens up a grocery store that has actual fresh produce, even if it’s not organic, it will be a significant improvement.

The difference is that Subway can be healthy if you order right whereas McDonalds pretty much can’t.

Except that’s not true... in Hampden a bunch of white protesters were out past curfew because they wanted to prove that the police treat white people different, but at 10:05 the police lined up with riot gear and pushed them off the street. Pictures of the police talking to them are at like 9:58 where they are saying…

They’re also burning down senior living centers and church buildings though... it’s pretty indiscriminate. Not that I am saying the narrative should focus on property damage over human life, but to claim that there is a larger reason for the places they are looting is just not true.

I don’t understand people who are all obsessed with their ancestry like that. They usually only care about the patrilineal ancestry (i.e. the “family” is only people with the same last name as them), which is weird and arbitrary. If you go back to the 17th century you could have up to 100,000 ancestors alive at the…

Well to be fair, Missouri is one of the states that didn’t think lawmaker should be an actual profession so state legislators only make $31k a year.

Tina Fey has said in interviews that the reason they felt they could do the whole Jacqueline plot in the first place is because they have two native american writers on their staff.

LoL has ARAM mode now which is 5v5 with just one lane. It's all team fights the whole time, maybe you would like that better.

The Florida-ness of all this really cannot be understated.

It's also only a 6% increase in divorce rate compared to marriages where neither spouse is sick... so about one in seventeen marriages where the wife is sick will divorce when they wouldn't have otherwise.

Yeah I'm not expert or anything but I did take a genetics class in undergrad and that was the example they used to explain aneuploidy. In humans if you have an extra set of chromosomes it usually leads to some horrible disease like down's syndrome, but in plants it leads to delicious seedless varieties. Weird.
