Some infinities are bigger than others, though.
Even if you have countably infinite monkeys typing countably infinite strings for an infinite period of time, there will be an infinite number of strings that the monkeys haven’t typed, that will never be in the set of completed typed strings.
Cantor’s diagonalization proves it.
Two new monkeys show up, and even though the infinite rooms and infinite typewriters are already occupied, you can make room for them by making all of the monkeys move over one room, and putting the new monkeys in that newly vacant room with the newly available typewriters.
It’s not just purely aesthetic, although that is a big part of it.
Some of it is actual quality not related to safety: if fruit is being processed after insects have already gone to town on it, that’s not the same quality of fruit that should’ve been used, and might actually affect the flavor.
Some of it is still safety. Freezing foods generally don’t kill bacteria, and sometimes don’t even kill molds or other fungi. Neither do packaging for shelf stable dry foods like flour, rice, cornmeal, etc. That’s why the danger in raw cookie dough comes from the flour, not the eggs.
And it’s an indirect issue, but insect contamination may also be an indicator of other dangers that aren’t solved by processing. Metal shavings or bits of rock can get into food, and having a tightly controlled process should prevent those dangers, too.
If you don’t have the time for homemade, store bought is fine.
Taco Bell was a cynical invention by Alexander Graham Bell to sell more Bell peppers.
Code switching is a thing.
I have my professional voice for work emails and meetings and stuff like that. I still joke, but usually it’s the kind of mild humor that can be broadcast on TV no problem. I also avoid self deprecating humor on anything actually related to the job (I can still joke about being a bad dancer or singer or athlete or whatever).
I have my parent voice when dealing with my kids’ schools, doctors, friends’ parents, etc. Most of my jokes here are relatable parent humor.
I have my casual voice when dealing with strangers outside of work: friends of friends, neighbors, etc. I joke but don’t really do anything with politics, religion, sex, profanity, etc.
And as I get to know friends, I have several distinct voices that I use, depending on our connection and their own style. I know whether they’re on my wavelength for political humor, crass/sexual humor, etc. And perhaps most importantly, the style of humor: I’ll make references to specific TV shows I know the other person loved (Simpsons, The Office, Tim Robinson, etc.), other specific interests (sports, programming, food), which style of online meme is popular with the other person, etc.
My wife has seen all of these parts of me. We still exchange funny stuff we find on the internet on our shared interests and style of humor, even if it’s only a subset of all the things we find funny.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, do these sound like the actions of a man who had all he could eat?
I wonder how much of it is horny old dudes and how much is actually lonely old dudes. These types of arrangements, somewhere in the gray area between transactional paid sex work and companionship between equal partners might not satisfy the loneliness part of the equation.
I’ve had 3 careers: cook, sysadmin, lawyer. Those three careers pay inversely proportional to how hard it is to do.
(I must say I disagree completely with that guy sharing messages from his girlfriend- that piece is very weird and a total breach of trust)
My impression from the original post was that kind of stuff was what drove most of the fallout. Leaked off color memes aren’t going to ruin people’s relationships, but leaked shit talk or breaches of someone else’s privacy will.
You’re thinking of bacillus cereus, which grows on cooked rice or pasta stored at room temperature.
I mean it comes up basically every day here where people complain about censorship in a screenshot submitted to some shitpost or meme community.
Evolution didn’t make your teeth to grow like this.
Modern diets are just selection pressure. Evolution marches on.
where saddam
Nobel Laureates Daniel Kahneman and Angus Deaton at Princeton University published a study in 2010 showing that money buys happiness only up to about $75k per year (in 2010 dollars, for Americans), at which point happiness plateaus and more money doesn’t meaningfully buy more happiness.
Years later, Matthew Killingsworth at the University of Pennsylvania published a study showing that happiness didn’t really plateau with money, but kept increasing at $75k and beyond.
They got together to see if they could reconcile their different findings from pretty similar methodologies.
As it turns out, Killingsworth’s data did show the same plateau, at pretty much the same place, if you focus only on the least happy 20%. In a sense, the Kahneman data was focused on only measuring unhappiness, and didn’t properly distinguish between people who were kinda happy, people who were moderately happy, and people who were really happy.
So now the most widely accepted analysis is that there are people who are deeply unhappy, for whom giving them more money might not make them emotionally better off, at least past $75k in 2010 dollars. But for the rest of us, the majority of people will continue getting happier with more money, well up to the $500k income.
Is the H intended to kinda look like a silhouette of a llama? Because if so, I like it.
When I learned how to drive, manual transmissions were higher performance and better fuel efficiency: side by side comparisons of the exact same model of car would show better 0-60 and quarter mile times, while having slightly better EPA fuel efficiency ratings, for the manual transmission.
At some point, though, the sheer number of gears in an automatic transmission surpassed those in the typical manual gearbox, and the average automatic today has 6 gears, up to 9 in some Mercedes and 10 in certain Ford and GM models. So they could start selecting gear ratios for better fuel efficiency, without “wasting” a valuable gear slot. There was a generation of Corvettes that was notorious for having a 6th gear that was worthless for actual performance but helped the car sneak by with a better highway fuel mileage rating.
And the automatics became much faster at shifting gears, with even the ultra high performance supercars shifting to paddle shifters where the driver could still control the gear, but with the shifting mechanism automated. Ferrari’s paddle shifter models started outperforming the traditional stick shift models in the early 2000’s, if I remember correctly. As those gear shifting technologies migrated over to regular automatics, the performance gap shrunk and then ended up going the other way.
At this point there’s not enough reason for a true manual stickshift transmission. It’s no longer faster or more economic, so it’s just a pure fun. Which is fine, but does make it hard to actually design one for any given model of car.
There are some steep stop sign intersections in San Francisco that I’ve had to use the e brake for.
Wait then what was My Chemical Romance’s “Black Parade” all about?
You don’t need a normal distribution or statistical independence. It just requires that any given key combination remain possible.
No matter how unlikely, anything that is possible will eventually happen in an infinite time.
