Everything in science is made up, including math. Then it is tested if it passes scrutiny.

I agree with you, but I’m afraid some people don’t care if everybody loses, including themselves, as long as no one has it better than them.

That makes sense, thanks for clarification.

I’m pretty much the same, but for the games of chance; As long as the prize isn’t monetary, I tend to do really good. Coin flip because two people asked the day off and only one can take it? Sorry for the other guy.

Another thing that I’m really good at is pushing a button. If for some reason something doesn’t work after pushing a button (either computers or machinery), just complain to me it isn’t working. I’ll ask if I can try, and somehow it always works. Actually a very usefull skill when I worked as an operator in various chemical plants. Coworkers had mixed feelings about it tough.

There are people who are always lucky, and those who are unlucky. The lucky ones tend to win more coin flips, have less accidents, and if they fail it will be upwards.

it might sound preachy to those who are ignorant

Am I reading it wrong, or are you saying that people who have a different point of view are ignorant?

Depends on the kind of stupid. I’ve met the kind of stupid who inspired the likes of Dunning and Kruger, and those people are dangerous. I’ve also met the kind who very well what their own capabilities were, and they could do better than some of the people that were considered “smarter”.

Current research states Neanderthals were generally as smart as us.

How would you measure the time it takes to wake up without somehow monitoring brain activity externally? I mean, you start sleeping, so at best a dodgy perception of time, and at some point in time you’re awake. For me it would be impossible to tell the time it takes, might be a second, might be an hour.

Did you write this post deliberately to trigger us? Some examples; The phone died when it should have 7% left, spilling soup at a store, smelly euro village and of course the main question.

Maybe search the lock picking lawyer’s channel on youtube for the make and model.

Is it an old fashioned one with a number wheel? Try 0-25-0 or 25-50-25. I learned that one from Richard Feynman.

“I can’t pee with an audience…”

TIL Whatsapp has channels.

I always wondered how that works? Do you have phases 180° against each other? Our (Europe) phases are at a 60° angle to each other, so while one phase is 230v, two phase is 400v.

edit: re-reading, it should be 120°, not 60.

One of the funniest things I saw when this was unfolding on youtube is that McNally works for Covert Instruments, AKA the Lockpicking Lawyer’s company. Proven Industries couldn’t have fucked up more if it was deliberate.

Reddit is main-stream, so should be (and is) mostly centered. Lemmy is more niche and while it has some far right people, it overall leans left.

I once had a girl in a bar tell me (after some flirting and kissing) that she was wearing white panties with pink hearts, to which I responded “That’s nice”.

He doesn’t get the power to shut down the internet. The internet is shut down wether he likes it or not. And this guy might post that he would love it, but let’s be honest, he craves the attention.
