look, I just retweet things on this hellsite because it makes me feel briefly, futilely better about the world, okay? (He/Him)

@littmath For a real proof, I'd obviously need to cite something specific for that claim, but otherwise I think that finite automata/graph method is fully rigorous if you include the three partial states (_, _H, _T) and their transitions.

[Hugh @IonicBlather]

@littmath From there, powers of the adjacency matrix of the graph make it clear there's more ways to walk to the HH (or TT) scores state than to the TH (or HT) scores states.

I forget what theorem I'm citing here since I haven't been in a combinatorics class in a decade.

@john_harper I've learned tons about being a better player or GM from being in the peanut gallery and watching people play ttrpgs in real life, but that's always seemed *very* different from what people do when playing for a (possibly hypothetical) large audience.

@riseupcomus And the floorplans make for good dungeons in a pinch!

@AdamBlumenau A. Failing to meet weekly.
B. Playing through defined story arcs that change the world in some big ways and then resuming with some combination old and new players/characters.

@FranciscoSkyJac @trimet As we've seen recently from other public transit adjacent crime, the woeful inadequacy of the states mental health system and the inability to provide public defenders would be huge barriers and hypothetical "crackdown" anyway. 2/2.

[Hugh @IonicBlather]

@FranciscoSkyJac @trimet No, of course not. But there's a difference between the bulk of the tweet and its first line. The idea that a "crackdown" is some kind of fix is ludicrous, and obviously loaded political rhetoric. 1/2

[Hugh @IonicBlather]

@FranciscoSkyJac @trimet If directors or managers of TriMet want to, say, represent their judgment or their employees interests, that's fine, at, say, a city council or state legislature hearing. But this is public political advocacy paid for by tax dollars. It wouldn't be appropriate for any viewpoint.

@thysane Some extremely gothic violence dialogue choices/non-combat outcomes too

With the strike EXTREMELY imminent at this point, I thought I’d offer a visual guide to why UPS teamsters are fed up, free of UPS propaganda. This is what it looks like when our preloaders are sorting and loading all the packages for delivery that day. 🧵 1/?

@lorenschmidt ...cheat and use the same arguments from classical E&M + Special Relativity to show that accelerating masses should cause gravitational waves (and therefore radiate energy). I think that's what you're getting at? That was Poincaré's original argument for them before Einstein.

[Hugh @IonicBlather]

@lorenschmidt Mmmmm "lost" was a poor choice of words. Energy is never lost, it's just in this case *radiated out* away from the spinning masses. The real proof of gravitational waves comes from (a) general relativity and (b) the experiments at LIGO that won the Nobel prize, but you can (1/2)

[Hugh @IonicBlather]

@lorenschmidt ...of energy that's lost this way (so little that the sun will be gone aeons before you would notice) would be imparted into other massive things in the cosmos as very tiny amounts of kinetic energy. Or propagate indefinitely.

[Hugh @IonicBlather]

@lorenschmidt In the earth/sun example they can't *miss* either because they are radiated *out* away from both. Locally, the gravitational field is dominated by the normal direct effects of *mass* rather than the effects of *mass-in-time-varying-motion*. Eventually the very small amount (1/2)

Holy shit what is wrong with you?

“Sound of Freedom” is a dangerous child-trafficking exploitation film being weaponized to incite a death cult to target Democrats in order to destabilize American democracy.

It was funded by actual sex traffickers and accused sexual predators.

The brainwashed “star” believes Satanic Democrats are drinking children’s blood and regularly appears at Mike Flynn’s QAnon radicalization events.

The alleged “hero” of the film has funneled tens of millions of dollars from donations to his own bank accounts after raising money from conspiracy theories like children being shipped in Wayfair furniture—and from selling “the raid experience” to wealthy donors.

At the end of the film people are invited to donate money to frauds using their phones.

Your “review” elides all of this and gives it credit for having an authentic purpose or story.

It’s QAnon propaganda and you just helped it along.
Par for the course for you guys these days I guess.

[Hugh @IonicBlather]

@pikuma Nah, this is exactly as sloppy as it sounds. They're using direction in an intuitive sense that's not mathematically rigorous here. This comes from the also not rigorous def that a vector is a "thing with magnitude and direction" which implicitly takes magnitude to be positive
