This is amazing advice! Saving it for when I have a kid.

Inflammable means flammable? What a country!

Because wait staff can be (and are) paid less than minimum wage due to the tips.

No one needs an AR-15 for self defense.

Ugh, I had a trans coworker who was conservative. Had an AR-15 “to defend herself”, and was against non-binary people and immigrants. Joined the police as a volunteer, and was doxxed for hanging out with some white supremacists.

The report in the first link is 1 page of affirmations, without any evidence, backing, nor references. Followed by 50 pages of names of random people, including a veterinarian and my old scuba instructor (really!).

That’s not a report. I’ll pass.

The beauty of it is that 10! seconds = 6 weeks.

^ this is a Venn Diagram showing people who would fall for that scam, and people who would be able to figure out how to buy Bitcoin if their lives depended on it.

Fun fact: you can convert from miles to kilometers using the Fibonacci sequence:

1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 35

• 5 miles = 8 kilometers
• 21 miles = 35 kilometers
• 10 miles (2 + 8) = 16 kilometers (3 + 13)

So this means 1 mile = 1 kilometer.

Man, the Brazilian constitution of 1988 is such an amazing document. More countries should have modern constitutions!

Brazil, Spain, Egypt, Denmark, Argentina…

You hire more people.

I’ve been using Alacritty for a while. It’s fast and does everything I need.

That’s just for colorectal cancer. It also affects other types of cancer (like breast cancer) and increases the chance of dying from heart disease considerably.

How many people do you think would be needed?

It’s less than you imagine. As long as the sampling is random and unbiased, assuming 100 million Republicans, a sample size of 1000 should be enough for a 3% margin of error with a 95% confidence level.

• Ethical reasons: hundreds of billions of animals are killed every year (not counting fish), after living a miserable and short life.
• Environmental: greenhouse emissions (CO2 and methane), deforestation for pastures, water pollution, are all caused by animal agriculture. If everyone went vegan we’d need only 25% of the land we currently use for agriculture.
• Health: there is some evidence that meat causes cancer, and convincing evidence that processed meat causes cancer. Also, the use of antibiotics for animals can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Cow farts are methane, which are a more aggressive form of greenhouse gas, though with shorter lifespan.

Here’s more info about meat and the environment.

Related: every time you shuffle a deck of cards you get a sequence that has never happened before. The chance of getting a sequence that has occurred is stupidly small.

Thanks! I guess I’ll wait a little bit then before giving it a try.

Has anyone played it on the Deck yet? What’s the experience like?
