@engineers_feed I immediately have this weird sense that these numbers are awkward because of their shared relationship with two. You can take two from the 37, add it to the 48, and then you have the simple sum of 35 + 50 = 85.

Protip: If you ever want to start an argument online, just use "the best" instead of "my favorite" it literally does not matter what you are talking about, go ahead try it out

@CrowofLove1 @cjsnowdon I take your point. It's consistent with what I said. I hope no-one reading this ever has to come into contact with the NHS's shortcomings. As Brits, many know it can fail us and our loved ones. The Olympics is an example of us pandering to the world's perspective of the NHS.

@DavidFoster @cjsnowdon The people who clapped for the NHS during covid, like they were in some weird cult, took it a level above admiration. And then there was this display at the 2012 Olympics:

@LeilaHormozi You should learn statistics again. It's like saying "you should buy lottery tickets over and over. It will increase your chance of winning." Wrong. Common sense and math are not the same.

Becoming successful is not luck. It’s math. If your probability of success is 1/100 and you try 100 times, you have a 100% chance of success.

@ofcrdeonjoseph Incredible commentary. Utterly captivating. Random thought: why is it that basically every human intrinsically roots for this bunny? We're ecstatic, all celebrating that our team won when bunny got away. As the apex predator on Earth it's a nice thing that we think this way.

@ATabarrok This is such a wonderful, concise, psychologically vivid example of this class of probabilistic reasoning error. Thank you for this gift.

@bluewmist A men’s option: an exquisite Autumn/Winter coat. Seriously, spend like $1000 on one of these things. For one, they cover 70% of your body so you’re most of the way towards looking completely slick. They last forever, they keep you warm, they make you feel great about yourself.

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?

@Noone1137202 @Math_files For sure. Given Ramanujan’s track record of absolutely miraculous feats of revealed truth of mathematics, I actually thought it was possible he found an integer here via some dream revelation from the goddess Namagiri or something.

@Real_shadmxtgp Gotta be Spain, right? S + Pain? Can't lie though: I played around with bonkers ideas like S + Sit Knee = Sydney. Weird to include a chair and sitting if the key concept is merely pain!

@lifelikedrone @Rainmaker1973 One society dies at rates of ~20% to homicide, infanticide, or accidents, and ~65% to infectious disease or parasitic illness. Lifetime maternal risk of dying in childbirth is ~7.5%. Human-caused extinction is awful, but I'm siding with whatever team minimises human suffering.

@Rainmaker1973 The society on the right preserves the earth in it's most natural state. They live amongst nature rather than destroy it for their selfish ends. The society on the right doesn't lead to extinctions of fauna and flora, the destruction of the ozone, or the need for a new planet

@knitrockchick @F0ODHub Many Brits will call that sacrilegious! I’m a massive fan of Branston pickle so maybe it’s time I do a blind taste test of Heinz vs Branston beans. I’m open to the idea that Branston could be superior!

@LincolnMargison @stevenspohn We're thinking deeply about making our game maximally accessible. It's more than a want for us. There's a richness of game experience that'd be stifled if it were superseded by every individual's right to access. A symphony's merit remains if there are those who cannot hear it.

You have every right to access any game you want. If you can't play it or don't enjoy it for any reason (ability or otherwise) then refund and get something else. You have no 'right' to ensure the game is suited to you. Developers should WANT their game to be as accessible as possible so that they have more players, less refunds, less bad reviews, etc. But you can't expect every game to work for a tongue input device because someone out there might feel a right to play it.
