That's Threads, not Twitter.

Also, fucking good for her. She's awesome.

What happens now? Does the DNC pick a replacement or will they be holding a snap primary?

The review found that local police ignored evidence that directly pointed to one of their own officers - Michael Holman – who later went to prison for another crime and died in 2015.

Holman’s truck was seen in the area the day of the murder, his alibi could not be corroborated, and he used Patricia Jeschke’s credit card after claiming he found it in a ditch.

A pair of distinctive gold earrings identified by Ms Jeschke’s father were also found in Holman’s home.

What the actual fuck.

And to make it worse, I'm like 85% sure that this is an AI generated image, so it's him asking AI to show him what he looks like in cosplay.

The problem here is two-fold, I think. Disneyland can 100% afford to pay a lot more, for one, but also the rent in California is insanely inflated and needs to come down.

Oh I totally missed that. Thanks for clarifying!

This might just be my computer-focused life talking

I'm a software eng too, but I have broad interests. Like I said, the philosophic use doesn't really have a place in this discussion and I messed up by bringing it in. The only way it would be relevant is if the universe is a simulation because, as you guessed, then free will itself becomes part of the equation.

I also don’t know why predictability would be solely based on the numbers that came before

There's a miscommunication happening here, and I'm wondering if I'm not explaining myself well. Election predictions use polling as their dataset, and there are no calculations that really go into predicting the results other than comparing the numbers within those sets. That's why they're notoriously garbage (every single pollster had Hillary winning in late October 2016, for example). Also, there aren't any calculations that go into a CEO/Boardroom's intuitions on how shareholders will react to policy changes, so I'm not sure about the relevance here. In the case of pi, there is no dataset that you can use that tells you what the next unknown number in pi is. The only way to get that number is to run a very complex calculation. Calculations are not predictions.

You misread the number of grams in the milkshake, I think.

Installed yesterday and immediately went ad-free. It's such a beautiful app.

Anyway, question is in the title.

 
 
  1. Thoughts are energy.
  2. Einstein proved that energy is mass.
  3. Expend mass every time you think about stuff in the shower.
