At least you get paid to be a juror. You can buy a sodie on the way home

Yeah, try and go naked outside in the middle of the night. Or better, try sleeping naked outdoors. You will slowly but surely get cold and even if you survive a couple of nights, you’ll definitely get sick and this will start your path to your demise.

Generally.

Publishers fund all or part the game, advertise the game, and give logistical support for the game.

In return publishers take a share of the money the game earns.

Depending on the publisher they can make demands on the developers or won't.

Like ea for example generally has a hands off approach..they give the dev team a bag of money and then say make your game but I expect 2 bags of money back idc how your get it.

Other companies especially in the past had rules. Like in older days publishers would force games to be difficult so you couldn't beat the game if you rented it

One thing I'm not seeing is that we tend to look at probabilities being 'fair' - If I roll a die 6 times, and it comes up 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, that feels 'fair' because each face has an equal probability to roll.

However, if I roll the die 12 times and it comes up with three 1s, three 2s, two 3s, two 4s, two 5s, and no 6s, that feels unfair - and it feels like we should roll two 6s to make it fair and match the probability.

However, probability doesn't really behave that nicely in the small scale. If I roll that die thousands and thousands of times, yes the results will be roughly equal per die face, but that doesn't mean that each set of 6 rolls maintains the large scale probability.

Cahokia. It’s one hell of an interesting place. I used to go on elementary school field trips every year, so didn’t realize how special it was until I went back as an adult. But wow, it’s a cool place.

Have you been naked outside in the wilderness trying to travel, find food, avoid predators? Being naked is easy when you remove every environmental pressure, but when exposed to the elements its very different

Again, if it’s guaranteed to be mathematically exactly fair, then by the maths I posted earlier, claiming you have better than 1/6 chance of getting the next one right is mathematically impossible, by definition.

To be clear: you’re defining a situation whereby you are guaranteed to only have a 1/6 chance of getting the next number correct, whichever you pick, and then saying “isn’t it better to stick with the number that came up before?”. Simply, no, it’s not, because of the way you defined the system.

The eggs don't need to touch the water if it's a (mostly) closed system.

If you consider the entire system as a whole (water, air, eggs), more eggs means more of the heat applied to the system goes to the eggs, which means less available for the rest of the system including the water, which should cause the water to boil off at a slower rate. If the water is meant to act as a timer, then you'd need less of it corresponding with the slower boiloff rate to result in a comparable cook time.

That is a completely different unit, with a completely different abbreviation of lbf. Pound-force is defined as: "weight of one pound"

Pound has abbreviation of lb, it's a unit of mass and is equal to 0.45359237kg

You cannot treat pound as unit of force, because it isn't one. Same as you can't treat pound as unit of torque or unit of energy. Pound-force, pound-foot and foot-pound are all completely different units of completely different quantities and they are definitely not the same unit as pound.

You can aerate water. This happens naturally where air meets water. You can do it more quickly by spraying the water in the air like a fountain. So a fountain can keep pond fish alive. Or you can use a pump to make bubbles underwater. So probably a waterfall would be the best natural way to get oxygen back into the water, but rough waters would also work well.

I've been naked so many times in my shower and I'm still alive, why would anyone ever need clothes?

Clothing provides protection against colder temperatures (by keeping the heat in), against warmer temperatures (by keeping the direct sunlight out), against accidental scratches (by being the first layer) and against serious damage (gloves, footwear).

As such, clothing saves the body from using energy, which then can be used for something else and the community overall will gain from it.

The taboo of the absence of clothing, or the social pressure to wear a certain set of garments (pants, shoes, socks, shirt), that has nothing to do with the basic survival part.

I'm not trying to construct an actual scenario. I am constructing a hypothetical scenario that says there is no chance that the system is rigged, and there are a quintillion throws that are all identical, which is entirely possible, but highly improbable. In real life we can say, "that would never happen", but the math says you are incorrect and it 100% could happen. Now, this situation, which is mathematically possible, plays out (hypothetically). Which bet are you going to make after the one quintillionth throw? And are you a fool if you use past information to say the next throw will remain the same as the past quintillion?

Clothes are considered only essential for survival in areas where you would else freeze to death.

I'd have to assume you live in a climate that affords you that luxury. Not all do.

Anyone that's ever faced the 60 mph frozen winds of Lake Michigan would probably take a different stance on what is considered essential clothing than someone on the dry arid planes of Texas.

>Right, but engine braking reduces the excess energy leftover once the tires would start skidding,

Again, it doesn't. Think about where the energy for revving up your engine comes from when you're engine braking... It's the wheels rotating against the road, which via the driveshafts make the gears in your gearbox rotate, which via the clutch will turn your engine over.

If you have a motorbike, you can try this out relatively easily - apply rear brake until just before you lock the rear wheel, and then downshift. You'll see that your rear wheel will lock. It has happened to me.

Fun fact, the government lawyers don't make that much money. The government doesn't pay that well for anybody.

A tie is mostly for looks. And it have been a fashion item for as long as we can tell. It did have its origin in the cravat which is a larger piece of cloth but worn in much the same way as a tie. Again we do not know exactly what purpose this was serving initially before being turned into a fashion item. But it could have served similar purpose to scarfs. That is to keep warm during cold days, keep cold in hot days after being soaked in water, keeping the wind and dust of ones face in windy days, protect the shirt from dirt and even clean things with it and generally a utility item with lots of uses. The tie came around in the late 1800s when people wanted smaller more comfortable and cheaper clothing. They did not actually get rid of the neck wear but made it much smaller. So it does not fill much of a practical role any longer, just fashion.

>Engine breaking transfers the energy of you moving into engine rotations instead of via the wheels to the road

This is the part you're getting wrong. When you're engine braking, you're still using the friction between the wheels and the road to transfer kinetic energy - only into the engine instead of the brake discs.

The wheels and road play the same role in both cases - the road is your frame of reference for how much kinetic energy you need to shed, and the wheels are your contact point with it. So in both cases, the friction between wheels and road is the initial limiting factor. And if you can break that limit with your brakes alone, there's no use for any engine braking.

>Not spreading during wet weather

Farmers will respond: "Farming doesn't wait for weather"

So to get them to comply you need some laws, monitoring (water testing, sensors), and enforcement vehicle (serious fines that help pay for the monitoring).

Yeah, some will. However the cold may only cause a biostatistic condition(no/little growth). The food item (let's say steak) is dead and has no way to repair damaged tissue. On top of that, cows regulate their body temperature and don't need survive winters with their individual cells at or below freezing temperatures. Bacteria and other microorganisms do. So they can regulate the amount of water in their cell(s) and have other safe guards to rupturing at freezing Temps. Let's say.... fish are safe to eat raw if they have been frozen at a very low temp for a certain amount of time. Standard home freezers normally can't reach those Temps.

TLDR: little guys are built different

>I had thought the closer we got to the Center of the mass the more intense the gravity and the further away the weaker ?

As the other answer said, it is a very small difference. The earth has a mean radius of ~4000 miles while going from Death Valley to the top of Everest is only about 6 miles, so a pretty small change proportionally.

Edit: said diameter instead of radius

The poster is conflating two different and unrelated things. Determining whether a coin is fair, or putting a probability on it being fair after observing a number of tosses has very little to do with “if I just got three heads in a row with a fair coin, what’s the probability of getting a fourth?”.
