Oh fuck off. You didn’t imply or even suggest that anyone had Alzheimer's and you made a joke out of it. You suggested that he sent you an email instead of hitting “Allow”. That’s not something that people with Alzheimer’s do. People with Alzheimer’s have memory issues not an inability to read.

Did he learn and grow or did he just change his mind about this one thing? If he didn’t have empathy before, it’s likely he still doesn’t realize why he was wrong before.

Screw this guy. He didn’t care about all the terrible crap his uncle said before. Now he finally cares because he said it about him.

Bro, we start selling a Christmas decorations in July in the US. People need to be making money off this shit.

Additionally, Benevity could also have an option for donations to pro-Palestinian groups too since the only requirement for registration is that the org be a 501c3 which can be obtained by any non-profit. It’s not like Apple is choosing sides by allowing employees to donate to whichever causes they support as individuals.

The 4th wall breaking is in character for her, though. She’s the only major Marvel character besides Deadpool who can do it (and she did it first).

I mean, he’s dead so you’ll never know if you have the same tastes as him…

I’m not sure but that’s a potential solution. You’d have to find the older APK somewhere but I feel like it should work since it’s just a Bluetooth connection to the toy.

The funny thing about this is that the first time I had that moment of realization was when I got the Sphero BB-8 toy from my kids for Christmas. It had a dedicated app. The reason it’s funny is because, out of all the things that I own, it’s the only app-driven one that still works. Sphero just merged it into their main app. Once that app stops getting updated, this toy will cease to work despite everything about it being functional. ☹️

There are multiple ways. Statistical significance is largely used to determine whether a sample size is representative but it’s flawed on its own for some sample sizes as small effects can get exaggerated the larger the sample gets. Look up the methods for determining effect sizes and confidence intervals to determine the best route to go to see what minimum sample size is necessary to both have high confidence in the accuracy of the hypothesis and to ensure that the results have enough statistical power to detect the effect in question.

I depends on the size of the population you’re attempting to represent.

 

It used to be a given that Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon followed along perfectly with the movie The Wizard of Oz. If you started the album after a specific MGM lion roar, you could play the album on repeat and it would fit eerily close to certain scenes.

For me, this question comes up because I was playing Spider-Man 2 for PS5 and had Unicorn by GUNSHIP playing. I may have had it on shuffle but the number of times things lined up was crazy good. “Tastes Like Venom” as Peter gets the black suit for the first time, “Monster In Paradise” as he beats the snot out of the Hunters, and “Darkness for Dreams” as Miles and Martin Li enter Peter’s consciousness are literal perfection. The only outliers are the parts of the game, like Howard’s mission, where the song is meant to accompany that section of gameplay. Otherwise, I could play it on repeat and feel some kind of weird connection between the two separate but awesome pieces of art.

Lemmy, what’s your video gaming equivalent? I don’t just mean albums that are cool combined with a game. I mean a combo that gels in the same way as DSotM and Wizard of Oz.

I just swiped accidentally from the top of the screen and uncovered an off-screen ad in Voyager. What is this and is this disclosed anywhere?

Edit: Why is this post being downvoted? This is a legitimate bug/issue. What an unwelcoming community…

 

At the Comedy Cafe for a stand-up show and this woman in the very front started ignoring the headliner comedian for making sex jokes because she was a woman. The comedian (who handled it expertly) dead-ass had to stop the show to ask the woman what her deal was cuz she was on like TikTok or some shit. The lady then started to complain that the comedian wasn’t very good at making jokes so the comedian let this stupid fool get up there with the mic to explain why she was ok with ruining the show for everyone else.

I have never seen anything like this. The first 2 comedians were men who made just as many sex jokes (including a whole bit on Jackson Pollack using semen as a painting medium). This woman even participated in one of the bits with the men saying that she was trying to convert her friend, who was with her at the show, into a lesbian by “serving her some clam chowder”. I’m just still in awe that this lady had the nerve to get up on stage and try to steal the mic back from the comedian. It was such surreal iamthemaincharacter bullshit. I can’t believe it happened in real life.

 

First time playing through AC: Revelations after 100%-ing the first 3 games and I can't seem to find all the Animus Data Fragments. When I hit 50, it gave me a message that they've been unlocked on the map but I'm at 92 collected and there are no more shown on the map. Is this a bug? Did I miss a few early ones or something? I'd rather not have to go through a guide online and check if I got every single one by going to each spot one at a time.
