The tricky thing was we didn't have the original rules, we had rules for how to modify it into a gambling game, written with the assumption that everyone already knew how to play, so we needed to derive the original rules from that.

Silent? I fucking wish you idiots were silent.

That's unfortunate, I liked Oppenheimer. Always sucks to find out someone involved was a total dickweasel.

Mike Johnson, the previous and likely current Speaker of the House, believes the Earth is 6000 years old. Yes, it's exclusively the crazies that believe it, but there's more of them than you'd hope.

Particularly if one were to stray out of the heterosexual category. I wouldn't put it past any of those states.

They're not scared enough yet.

The stated jackpot isn't just before tax, it's the future amount that it would be worth after collecting interest for 30 years.

Yes. The exceptions are a smaller cardinality of infinity than the set of all real numbers.

The IDF is a terrorist organization.

Because conservatives are deliberately sabotaging it.

Let's be fair here. Reps do both insider trading and rape.

It's all a weird act. Kids swear around other kids, adults swear around other adults, but oh no, you can't let kids hear those dangerous swear words that they already know and use every day.

One of those exceptions is a carveout for the KKK. Not even joking.

Opinion articles are the opinions of the NYT staff. You're thinking of op-eds.

Bret Stephens is an absolute clown.

He deliberately brandished a weapon to incite bystanders to try to defend themselves so he could kill them and call it self defense.

I think there's something else being withheld. This might sound a bit crazy, but there have been a lot of 286s involved. Denial code 286, Breloom, 286 tweets, following 286 people, caught 286 miles away from the scene of the crime, and the manifesto is not 286 words, but 262?

Anything with a nonzero probability will happen infinitely many times. The complete works of Shakespeare consist of 5,132,954 characters, 78 distinct ones. 1/(78^{5132954 ) is an incomprehensibly tiny number, millions of zeroes after the decimal, but it is not zero. So the probability of it happening after infinitely many trials is 1. lim(1-(1-P)}n ) as n approaches infinity is 1 for any nonzero P.

An outcome that you'd never see would be a character that isn't on the keyboard.

Dolphins are pretty much the only other animal to display straight-up malice.

It's the NYPD, they don't care who actually did it, they just want to pin it on someone. Corrupt bastards, even by pig standards.
