  • not to mention the squirrel got injured to the point it's bone was sticking out of its tail and the guy didn't take it to the vet because they wouldn't let him keep it as a pet.

  • if it's infinite monkeys then an infinite amount of them do it correct on the first try

  • stormy Daniels

  • eh, scientology already did it better

  • The other part of it is there's not only one monkey who does Hamlet correct on the first attempt, there's two, three four, guess what - an infinite amount of them.

    And another infinity that get it right after 5 minutes

    Another infinity that take exactly 10 years 3 months 2 days 3 hours 4 minutes and 17 seconds

    And another infinity that takes one second less than the life of the universe

    And another infinity that takes a googleplex of the lifetime of the universe to complete

    that's the point of the thought experiment

  • I was saying boo-oops

  • Ah yes absolutely no Hispanic, Jewish or Middle Eastern people have the name "Mary" or a close equivalent (Maria, Mariah, Mariam, Maya, Marie, Molly, Maryam...)

  • So they're just straight up taking bits from Succession now?

  • this must be a new thing. my old boss just posted on LinkedIn about keeping calendars visible for seemly no reason

  • And a 14 year old kid using a VPN is probably not the target audience for a lot of the worst abuse.

    Not saying it won't happen, but a drastic reduction is better than none.

  • I'd counter argue that a test that is not communicated, reported, described or otherwise transmitted to another party is identical to it not happening, therefore one needs to tell "someone" (even if that is a private journal), and while in theory falsifability is possible solo, it increases the problem of induction, and science is, in essence, a language: a description of phenomena not the phenomena itself.

  • ignoring the other examples you've been given: it absolutely does even when it goes well. The scientific method is literally based on "other people must change and refine this, one person's work is not immutable nor should be taken as gospel"

    Also what science is has changed. Science used to be natural philosophy and thus was combined with other non-scientific (to us) disciplines. Social sciences have only been around 200 years tops.

    Some would debate that applied mathematics is science, others would say all sociology isn't science.

  • Yes I was agreeing and adding to your point if that wasn't clear!

  • In the uk: arts investment on average returns twice what is put in to it. The problem is this is often non profit funding that is returned back to communities and organizations and not realized as profit and thus people think it's bad. No, it doubled the money, but then used the money on good shit and didn't just leave it sitting in a bank to accrue interest. That's a good thing.

  • TIL engineers use gazillion

  • also - does this distinction matter? Is someone who runs 100m dash vs an ultra marathon runner both runners? When I run for the bus I'm also running. Sonic the Hedgehog also runs. They have distinctions in context that make sense - but they are all running.

  • that's less than a job interview though

  • i imagine the average high street or mall shop uses more plastic in a month than an average common or garden household uses in a year, and it goes up in magnitude from there.
