Try dropping your phone from a hot air balloon and see which one hits the ground first.

Is this some kind of meta-joke? What does Saddam have to do with 9/11?

Doesn’t the death cap mushroom work by destroying your DNA? I would imagine the effect would be similar.

What’s with the slut shaming? I thought we liked sluts.

This relatively new. Only “recently” (last couple decades) was it easy to get type info for a variable where it was used.

The other problem is that if your type is merely an alias, in many languages you can still do

interval_minute = interval_second

without the compiler catching it.

That’s how I do it. I’ve got a wide variety of plants which leads to a wider variety of bugs and even rabbits for a few years, but they were killed or run off by a cat.

You’d call most people who play chess “absolute beginners”. Most people would hang their king if they could and would never remember the stalemate rule until it was too late.

That’s only true because Kings can’t move into check. This is an unnecessary rule that, like stalemate, makes little difference to high level players, but is a bad rule for low level players.

They are an important part of the game, but they aren’t a good twist. If you got rid of stalemate, then the losing player would just resign. Nothing wrong with that in a game that’s effectively over.

There’s a whole level of players who simply weren’t thinking about stalemate at the moment. They know the rule, they just weren’t thinking. Trapping the king so he can’t move and nothing can be done should be a win.

The first part of your comment doesn’t justify the second part. But it also isn’t true that it rarely happens randomly. It rarely happens randomly in high-ranked games. Bad rules like stalemate have a much stronger effect on low ranked games, which is what most people play.

Stupidest rule in chess.

The individual electron just behaves randomly in a way that we can only predict statistically and not absolutely.

That’s the non-boring part, for lack of a better expression. Quantum Mechanics only predicts the outcome for an ensemble, and that imperfectly. It can say nothing at all about the outcome for a single particle.

Why? Prosecutors dogged Clinton for 8 years.

Congress definitely can and should ban him from office but obviously won’t.

An a380 is so big when it takes off it looks like it’s moving slow, just kind of hanging in the air

Thanks I used to know that one but forgot it.

It’s true love I tell you
