@JonahDispatch Is it illegal to say root(74770609)

Wait, they’re actually prosecuting Comey for that (dumb) tweet? Like really? That’s just so unbelievably lame.

@dannycantalk What does the predictor do if I decide via some sufficiently randomized process? (Im a one boxer though)

We're done rehashing the button question. Time to rehash Newcomb's Paradox. Are you a one-boxer or a two-boxer?

@kofinas Definitely a protocol change due to Trump's level of disability. He cant run (understandable given age) and fell over in the video.

The vice president was rushed off stage more than 10 seconds before anyone even grabbed Trump by the lapels. That cannot be protocol.

@EdLatimore Massive dude that can bench 405, and knee issue that tolerates deadlift way better then squat would be my 1st guess.

Trying to imagine how a person gets this distribution of strength.

@dogfoodforgirls Player gets double "destroy target creature" trigger, opponent has undying creature. Watched a whole pod agree that this lets him kill the creature then kill it again when it comes back from undying. It's not even worth trying to explain it, no one aware the stack exists.

you try to explain how priority works to a pod of casual commander players and u can genuinely feel three people trying to kill you with their mind

@wolftivy A car horn can be blown for any real number amount of seconds as part of speech, and thus language is uncountably infinite. Though I guess this depends on whether actual time is continuous or discrete.

"language is uncountably infinite" I don't know what nonsense you're trying to prove or where you learned your math or computer science, but language is obviously and trivially countable.

@Brady_H Grip strength is probably contributing some to things like reduced fall risk, even if the main causal chain here is health-->grip I'm fond of the example. "NBA players have much larger feet then average men, but an NBA scout probably spends nearly 0 time measuring feet".

Grip strength being a "proxy for overall muscle quality..." is precisely the reason you *don't* need to train grip strength.

@NateSilver538 You have to understand that Ken Martin is easily scared by new ideas.

Does it also require them to drive a horse-and-buggy to work wtf

@JosiahHawthorne "Chinese guy who formally invited everyone to celebrate Chinese new year" moment.

Counterpoint: I also choose [to name the crater after] this guy's dead wife.

@sentdefender Weak presidents like Washington only won their war one time, but Trump has won the same war a bigly number of times

U.S. President Donald J. Trump tells Fox News that the Iran War is over.

@benwfreeman1 @atrupar Went to kalshi, your first listed politics market was "straight of hormuz back to normal" So your post is the lie.

@atrupar To be clear, you can’t “bet on war” on Kalshi. We don’t have any war, death, or assassination markets. This is misinformation.

Ossoff: "The president apparently promised pardons for the entire WH staff, which I guess is the kind of thing you do when you run the WH like a casino. Now, maybe the West Wing is too busy placing Kashi and Polymarket bets on the war to care, but American are getting hurt ... in Donald Trump’s America, the rich get tax cuts, the well-connected get stock tips, and everybody else makes sacrifices."

@sentdefender Jimmy can't close.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance said that “We leave here with a very simple proposal. A method of understanding that is our final and best offer.” It now appears that the talks have concluded after failing to merit any form of U.S.-Iranian convergence on positions.

@prettycritical The tldr answer is that maintenance volumes are generally much lower then maximum progress volumes, so in lots of ways you can coast once you plateau especially if young. So it gets very goal dependent, especially if you're super locked in and still plateued.

on reddit, a woman asked what would happen to her body/muscles if she just kept doing the same weight forever. no one would answer her! clearly they hadn’t really ever pondered it, but instead of saying “idk” they were just like “you need to be doing progressive overload, dummy”

@delucinator 1 2 1 5 10 2 1 2 2+1+10+2+2=17

so whats the answer to this, is it that the flashlight is not needed or that in times of need we simply tell the analyst to off himself

@xwanyex Its possible people are only inagining "good" historical arguments and unaware of how common really bad historical arguments like "Martydom is proof" get used by bad apologists. This is even weirder (in U.S.) after 9/11 obviously.

I can’t believe I actually have to explain this, but, “I just find it impossible to accept that the accounts we have of the apostles would exist unless they really did behave exactly as described on the basis of having witnessed a resurrection” is trivially defeated by, “well, I find it impossible to accept that there was a resurrection, mate.” You are creating a case of, “which is more likely” and, “a guy rose from the dead” is definitely the less likely of the two possibilities, from a purely scientific and secular worldview, even if the other thing is really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really improbable. Even if we grant that the accounts that we have today of their behavior are perfectly accurate, that nothing has been left out, that no mistakes were made, that literally everything occurred exactly as described, and even if we therefore grant that they went to their deaths genuinely believing they had firsthand evidence of a resurrection, one would still have to say, I think, that some other explanation for their behavior, no matter how unlikely or improbable, is still more likely than that a guy genuinely rose from the dead. If your acceptance of Christianity is based on arguments like this one, then I think it will always be flimsy. These just aren’t very good arguments. That is to say, at the very least, these arguments are not going to be convincing to most smart, scientifically-minded people. I would just simply resist the urge to try to compare probabilities in this way. Most smart, rational people see these two options and think that resurrection is the dramatically least likely of all available explanations. ”But without the resurrection, these accounts of the disciples make no sense!” just simply cannot overcome the improbability of a literal resurrection (again, from a purely secular, scientific worldview). I think it is a mistake to base your Christianity on these kinds of arguments. I think you will find that these kinds of arguments are not very convincing to most educated people. And I think also that the reason for this is that it is in fact not a very convincing argument. We cannot hope to construct Christianity on logic in this way. If one believes, as I do, that Christ was in fact resurrected, as I proclaim in my recitation of the Nicene Creed every Sunday, then one must have the courage to accept that this must somehow be possible absent the intuition described above.

@avidseries That map is wonky, apparently part of WV joined Ohio prior to the war.

Assuming it was purely a civilian conflict without any US military involvement, 3 would win. It has more economic and financial power, and a smarter population (its mean IQ is somewhere between 5 to 10 IQ points higher than that of 2).

@nosilverv Knee length arms means he probably had crazy deadlift strength.

Why am I only learning know about the purported characteristics of the Buddha

@nic_carter I have a play money (manifold) bet against a billion dollar 1 employee company by end of year. Amusingly my reasoning was that it was just so likely you'd have 2 or 3 employees even if a tiny company made it to scale. So its funny I still haven't lost due to +brother

first vibecoded billion-dollar company?

The masters is the worst major because the coverage is just people competing to see who can fawn over Augusta the hardest.

@JeremiahDJohns Manchin/Fetterman 3rd party ticket that spikes to 10% but finishes at 1% coming together

Honest question for anyone who might know - is Fetterman going to run as an independent? Or is he even going to run at all? He seems like he hates the job.
