I think this makes them a good human... Since like 99% of humans are bad at math it makes sense since they would make this mistake....

The issue is that multiple winners split the jackpots, which is why playing common numbers like dates (birthdays) is a terrible strategy since so many people play those.

When the Powerball exceeds the value of being able to purchase all of the numbers it is common that the number of tickets sold more than doubles the Total number of numbers which statistically guarantees multiple winners. Almost nobody wins those billion dollar jackpots by themselves.

Even if we grant you your invalid position, you are still wrong. So close. You claim the unborn person has rights, but so did the mother.

In no legal jurisdiction in the United States is one person ever required to give up their bodily autonomy for another. This the mother, according to your argument, is under no legal obligation to provide the other person, according to your argument, the mothers body for any reason. If the mother wishes to discontinue the use of her body she can. If the other person dies as a result of this decision, the mother bears no responsibility.

This is well understood case law and common law.

GTFO with this terrible argument.

fkn ,

You don't like being called a fundamentalist because you know they are abhorrent.

You don't like your own argument. You can't even stomach the inkling that your own hypocrisy.

fkn ,

You know how I know you are lying? Because your first reaction to me expanding on your argument was to tell me I am a sinner.

If you treat any of your "friends" that way you are truly a terrible person.

fkn ,

Lol. This isn't my argument. This is your argument followed more completely.

You don't even know what my argument is or what my beliefs are. All I have done is point out your own hypocrisy.

Could Taylor Swift tilt Florida blue? It’s Democrats’ wildest dream. ( www.politico.com )

“Florida Democrats don’t know why Taylor Swift is naming an upcoming song on her new album ‘Florida!!!’ or the reason she chose to hold three concerts in Miami less than a month before the November elections,” Politico reports....

And? Just because I am not a fan of how the democratic party is run doesn't mean I'm not going to vote for them.

There are a lot of problems... But this argument is awfully close to apologetics for Trump.

fkn ,

Again. And?

It still sounds like you are one of those "it's broken so don't vote" assholes.

fkn ,

See. This is the big where your argument seems insincere.

fkn ,

I haven't made up shit. I stated what it looked like and they failed to repudiate it followed by calling me names.

fkn ,

Exactly. The points you put together made no argument. I asked "so what?" And indicated that the points as presented appear to be the same points people use/put together to say: "so don't vote." / are used by the same group of people who are trying to disenfranchise or discourage voting. This is a common propaganda technique.

If it's not specified, monthly. Otherwise it's specified.

For lithium batteries (phone batteries) it's actually more important than draining to 0. Many studies indicate that the average phone battery should last several thousand cycles while only losing 5-10% of total capacity provided it is never charged above 80%. Minimum % (even down to 0%) and charge rate below 70% is also unrestricted.

The tl;dr is that everytime you charge to 100% is the same as 50-100 charges to 80%. Draining a lithium chemistry battery to 0 isn't an issue as long as you don't leave it in a discharged state (immediately charging).

Maybe I am confused why you can't play them on a smartphone?

fkn ,

Lol. That's my thought. We use the virtual keyboards a lot already. Like the other poster said there are some drawbacks but I find it much easier than any physical mini keyboard (far less strain).

fkn ,

I wasn't trying to be dismissive. You bring up several good points. I asked because what seems to me the most obvious small form factor answer hadn't been considered at all.

fkn ,

This was me in 2013...

fkn ,

Formative and summative assessments need metrics by which we can demonstrate successful learning objectives and the degree to which those learning objectives were accomplished. Theoretically grades are supposed to represent the degree to which a student's advancement between formative and summative assessments demonstrates a student's progress in mastery of the learning objectives. At their core, across all students they represent the successes and failures of the teacher, the learning materials and teaching methods. Provided that a significant number of students show sufficient success and the grading mechanics are not compromised, these grades are a reasonable approximation of an individuals progress through the learning objectives.

Now... Obviously there are just a plethora of problems in practice across educational institutions. Most schools abjectly fail at any form of reasonable formative assessment and compromised grading (favoritism) is rampant which results in systemic failure of adequate assessment (grading) mechanics and a next to complete breakdown of objective assessments throughout the system. This provides fertile ground for corruption from external pressures (school funding and management cronyism/job security). The result is systemic grade inflation.

When grade inflation is rampant, it provides an othering mechanic for the social hierarchies present in the institutions that is sufficiently backed by science to be unassailable by the average participant... Even though due to poor implementation it should be rather meaningless.

Everyone paying attention knows. Unlimited water extraction from wells? When technology let you pump 100gallons a day, sure whatever. Oh, today you are watering fucking pistachios in the god damn dessert to sell to China. Fuck me... Gotta pump 40-100 gallons per tree per day. Got a thousand trees? 💀💀💀

Every single pistachio takes 1-2 gallons of water to produce.

fkn ,

It's both. Your inhibitions are lower so you speak more naturally and use more words without consideration of correctness which, if you think about it, is fine generally. Native speakers of a language are amazingly good at deduction of what a non native speaker is intending. You also don't pay attention to your mistakes, which makes the conversation flow easier for everyone.

fkn ,

Generally yes with two huge caveats.

First, It has been widely demonstrated that diverse teams are more productive and produce higher quality products than homogeneous teams.

Second, selection criteria is heavily biased towards homogeneous teams and has also been demonstrated to stifle innovation.

Desire/inspiration is nearly as important as capability and non-optimal teams (according to most, if not all selection criteria) will consistently outperform "optimal" teams in any tasks that require innovation.

To be clear, it is kinder. Not much, but it absolutely is kinder. Pasture raised is what free range should have meant... But fortunately we have a word for it now.

fkn ,

This is an excellent answer. My eli5 addition is this:

It depends on your distro. Distros that do more hand holding and more compatibility without additional operator involvement will be more likely to backport or use a stable kernel with backports like these. Examples: Ubuntu/Fedora/Mint. Distros that focus on system stability will take much longer to integrate backports like these, ex: Debian. And masochists will tell you to do it yourself, ex: lfs, arch.

fkn ,

Red Hat and Debian both backport security fixes but don't backport things like laptop device support. It can take a year or more for versions of those distros to gain the kind of functionality that is looking for.

fkn ,

This is one of those comments that causes Arch to get the reputation that it does. You aren't wrong and you probably don't intend to be off-putting but here we are.

fkn ,

Have LTS kernels started backporting non security fixes like this? To be fair I haven't looked at this in over a decade but this kind of patch wouldn't have been backported then.

fkn ,

Here is the rest of the story: the people who chose the subdomain chose .ml because they want it to mean marx-lenin... that's why it means that for them.

Generally you are right. In this specific instance it was chosen for the fascism.

fkn ,

To the people who say they don't run into jerks here or they don't understand when people say it's worse than reddit... what rose colored glasses are you wearing? Huge swaths of lemmy are little better than 4chan.

"Oh, you just have to curate your communities."

Stop. Take your superior than thou attitude and just stop. You are part of the problem.

fkn ,
  1. it's a form of victim blaming.
    Example:

"I went to India and I was sexually assaulted on a bus."
"THATS YOUR FAULT FOR NOT GOING TO THE 'GOOD' PARTS."

No. Fuck you. India has a rampant sexual assault problem.

Lemmy has rampant problems. To ignore them and say it's the visitors fault is such a fucking asshole position to take. If the first time you came to lemmy was when csam was being spammed and you were subjected to it... it 100% isn't your fault. If you make a comment on something that interests you from All and you don't see which community it is in and you get spammed with slurs and attacks for having a different opinion... it's not your fault.

  1. it's toxic as fuck and super passive aggressive.

"You don't know how to curate your experience. You aren't very good at it. You must have issues."

That's what people are saying. They hide behind the bullshit example you gave "what's wrong with selecting your interests." No. Fuck you.

fkn ,

I don't believe this to be true. Fairness only matters to people who value fairness. Many people value fairness, but it is irrational to believe that everyone values fairness. Some, not most or even many, don't care about fairness fundamentally. For these people, interesting fairness does nothing for them. These are the people we need to protect others from while also providing an environment that didn't necessarily mean removing or killing them.

fkn ,

You answered it yourself, but I will elaborate.

Humans are different between individuals. Some people are dumb. Some people are mean. Some people are evil. Fundamentally the paradox of tolerance applies to fairness as well.

fkn ,

Ah, good old fashioned Nihilism. Another thing that I think is silly.

It is irrelevant what you think personally. Other people don't necessarily think those things and assuming that they will or do abide by your positions without an incentive is folly.

fkn ,

So your suggestion is to force people to agree with you and to submit to your interpretation of fairness... with violence...

fkn ,

So your solution is to kill everyone because some people disagree with you?

fkn ,

I don't even know where to go from here... you are proposing to exterminate all human life because some things are unfair as you see it and you think that forcing, with violence, your vision of fairness will cause the world to be boring... so nobody deserves to live.

fkn ,

I'm sorry, but there is almost nothing of value in this diatribe and I see no value in continuing to talk about any of these... points.

fkn ,

Wait... you are trying to disprove my claim that there would be people with antisocial traits even in a society that is based on fairness? That is what you are trying to do? Holy hell...

fkn ,

You... honestly don't understand humans very well do you.

Let's just use the extreme case; are you familiar with mental disorders?

fkn ,

If you think this is getting sidetracked...

I'm sorry, but conversation with you is incredibly difficult. I can't tell if you have a coherent position or capable of creating a cogent argument... I'm not sure you understand your own position well enough to convey it to another much less consider the counter position I presented.

fkn ,
