That's very interesting to me (I am a bit mathematically illiterate when it comes to probability). Wouldn't it still have a lower chance of being a 1 if you said you want your second roll to be the one that counts beforehand? Or would different permutations screw with the odds, say rolling a 12 then a 1, rolling a 15 and a 1, etc, counting towards unfavourable possibilities and bringing it back to 1/20?

I mean, depending on the price of the car, the discount could very well be worth it, regardless of how much money you already have.

I was a kid when ENT was airing, I wasn't able to watch it consistently, but it was my first brush with Star Trek and I remembered how hopeful the song made me feel for the future. I can admit it is corny, but I was a kid and I didn't know much English at the time so I didn't get the religious undertones and to this day hearing it makes me incredibly nostalgic. I long for that feeling of hopefulness now and I'm thankful I get to experience at least a little bit of it when watching that intro.

Calm down Cruel, you just didn't get the joke

Oh, I know there are none currently, but that doesn't mean we as a society can't decide to have something akin to a community centre where people could meet and do stuff for free. It would also probably boost birth rates while helping people be less lonely and I think it would be more effective than trying to ban birth control and abortion, so it would also make sense for Western nations to fund this if politicians actually cared about these sorts of things

We should make some places where people go to flirt and meet new people. It isn't healthy for society as a whole not to have any place where it is appropriate to approach each other. That used to be bars for older generations but that seems to have changed and GenZ also consumes much less alcohol than older generations.

You will, of course, pay a monthly subscription for your transmission to each wheel as well as for the breaks and if you say anything mean about the US online you will be in breach of TOS and the car will brick itself.

“20 Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property."

Exodus 21:20-21

Don't forget the AMOC shutting down and sending most of Europe spiralling into the opposite problem as the rest of the world boils!

No, we are not over capacity for survival. We waste a ton of water on stuff we don't need, like having lawns in the desert or choosing to grow almonds during droughts when people have to ration water usage at home. . Top soil is the same, we could, collectively, switch from beef and to a lesser extent pork to focus on much more efficient chicken, thus freeing a lot of land used to feed livestock.

Stop this Malthusian nonsense, we have enough resources for everyone. They are just severely mismanaged to the point of killing us all. We could live sustainably if we wanted to, we just choose not to.

No, they are. Everything that lies outside of my narrow-minded and ignorant view of how attraction should work is bad and you should be ashamed!
