  • Hammond didn’t pick him, the insurance company did. The company insisted on only him, likely because he was a notorious skeptic who would be able to look past the sensationalism of the dinosaurs to let them know a realistic risk assessment. The dinner scene where he and Ellie criticize Hammond is exactly why they wanted him there.

    Point being, no indication is actually given that he was smarter or more published than the others in his field, because that isn’t really what the insurance was after.

  • What nonsense. Debate questions aren’t exactly rocket science.

    I predict at the VP debate:

    • Both will be asked about the economy
    • Both will be asked about immigration
    • Healthcare will get at least a mention
    • Vance will be asked about Springfield, Ohio
    • Walz will be asked about his military background
    • Project 2025, January 6, and Vance’s contradictory comments about Trump over the years and during the campaign itself are likely to be brought up

    There, just fed both candidates 90% of the debate questions.

  • But she wouldn’t have?

    Before Netflix I wasn’t buying hundreds of DVDs per year. It doesn’t make sense to claim that use of a service, even a free one, constitutes “savings” based on hypothetical behavior where you would have bought all the content individually at list price.

  • Dpkg is the low level tool for Debian packages.

    Apt-get is the original frontend for dpkg. It is a full featured tool that lets the user give commands to dpkg, along with apt-cache, which displays information to the user.

    Apt is a high level tool for user friendliness. It combines some features from apt-get and apt-cache, as well as adds progress bars and other quality of life features. It also strips down some features the average user doesn’t use.

    So neither is a wrapper for the other. They are two similar tools that do the same job. Apt-get is better for scripting due to being a more rigid tool while apt is nicer for end users.

  • Sure you can!

    Get a coin, and flip it 100 times. Record each time it lands on heads/tails.

    Now get a devout believer, and have the believer continuously say devout prayers petitioning God to make the coin read heads. Then, flip the coin 100 times, and record heads/tails.

    Do statistical analysis to see whether there is a statistically significant difference between the control group and the prayer group. Pretty easy to verify if true.

  • They’re not endorsing her because they think she’s conservative. They’re endorsing her because they know Trump is on his last leg and they are trying to distance themselves from him.

    Immediately after the election settles, they will start criticizing everything Harris does again while trying to build up their version of the Republican party. They’re looking to reboot it without Trump, and this is the way to do it.

  • Lemmy’s feed is 1000% better. No constant reposts, no ads, and ability to filter out read posts so it’s actually unique every day. I like it way better for news than reddit.

    Reddit is better for browsing individual communities.
