@andrastimot I'm not sure Dumb Strongman Hagrid or "Uncontrollably Turns into a Violent Animal" Remus being black is "absolutely fine".

@TwinkTheory Old money. So, really his dad's family's money.
The real question is what happened to the rest of his inheritance. Lands? Businesses? Artworks? I suppose artworks could have been put in the vault too, but what about the rest? Liquidated and the proceeds in the vault?

How did Harry potters parents have all that cash for his trust fund? They died at 21 and the only jobs in the wizarding world are civil servant, barmaid, teacher or shop owner. Or is it just like magic? And if so how are the Weasleys poor like how far does magic go? Are they just bad at magic?

@snitchin_bubs @tommy_crimes @wahoomatt @agraybee It depends. If they were losing 160 to 0, giving them more time wasn't going to arrange matters. If it was 3160 to 3000, sure, give them more time.

@tommy_crimes @wahoomatt @agraybee I googled it to see if a score is mentioned in the book and they only lost by 10 points, which means his team was only one goal away from being able to tie, and two goals away from being able to win. So dumb

I don't think JK Rowling really understands sports as a concept because what do you mean individual players can bring their own vastly superior equipment that gives them an advantage.

@ImShahinyan It gains a bishop, but I wouldn't call it winning. Rxf3 Qxh3+ Qh2 Qxh2+ Kxh2 Rc2 (to prevent Rh3#)

Another position from my analysis.
Do you think 1...Rxf3 is good move?

@raz_sauber_ Whiteness exists outside of America. Even if it doesn't mean the same thing everywhere.
English
“White” is an American political-sociological construct with no real meaning outside the U.S. but you’re not ready to hear that yet.

@JPBillingsgate @StatisticUrban Exceptions? That's what loanwords are for.
English
"This word in [language X] cannot be translated into English."
If the speaker is a native [language X] speaker, they just don't know enough English.
If the speaker is a native English speaker, they must not understand what the word means otherwise they would be able to articulate its definition in their native tongue.
There probably are some genuine exceptions to the above, but I doubt there are very many.
English
Maybe I'm just ignorant, but despite looking, I've still never found a true example of a word/idea that cannot be translated into English.
The English version may take multiple words, or even a sentence. It may lose its poetry. But it can be translated all the same.
English
@polidemitolog @StatisticUrban Yeah, I once saw a Latin translation of "disco ball".
English
@StatisticUrban I would say that those rules apply to almost every language

@oguzerkan I don't think you need humanoid robots for warehouse work. The environment is controlled, the tasks constrained. The humanoid shape sounds very suboptimal.
English
I am getting more bullish on $AMZN everyday.
It probably has the biggest upside from AI among all the mega-caps.
AWS side is no brainer. It can reach $300-$350 billion revenue in 2030 thanks to Anthropic.
What nobody talks about is robotics.
$AMZN has massive upside here and it’s not priced in yet.
Humanoid robots can now do around 20-30% of human work in warehouses.
Consensus projection is that they will be able to perform ~70% of warehouse task volume by 2035.
So, it’s not unreasonable to think that they’ll do 90% of the all work in warehouses by 2040.
Imagine what this will do to $AMZN margins?
We can see its net margin progress from 10% today to above 20% over the next decade.
This will lead to an immense valuation uplift.
I don’t own enough $AMZN.

@JulieCFrost "We've always liked Jews" is kinda doing a lot of work here.
English
Why is this confusing? We've always liked Jews. Our Boss is a Jewish carpenter. Jews aren't the ones threatening to slaughter us if we don't convert.
Whereas Muslims demand we convert at the point of a sword. Or a suicide vest.
It's really not that hard.
Mark Slapinski@mark_slapinski
I'm confused. Christians don't like Muslims, but they're cool with Jews all of a sudden?
