Rookie numbers, I was once a trillionaire, it was awful and probably the worst time in my life.

Well, you see, this is in the US. So women have rights and autonomy only on paper. In practice and according to a lot of people, women, specially when pregnant, are mere objects to be treated as cattle. The drug tests are part of the quality assurance. You wouldn't want damaged goods.

What do you mean? Are you talking about Lucio, Mario's brother? He has always been Lucio. Poor Lucio is scared of ghosts. Who is this Luigi you speak of? Are you thinking of Walucio? Wario's brother?

Except, that's in the real world of physics. In this mathematical/philosophical hypothetical metaphysical scenario, x is infinite. Thus the probability is 1. It doesn't just approach infinite, it is infinite.

It's not close to 100%, it is by formal definition 100%. It's a calculus thing, when there's a y value that depends on an x value. And y approaches 1 when x approaches infinity, then y = 1 when x = infinite.

Indeed, the formal definition actually doesn't specify how many monkeys will write what given an infinite number of monkeys, it's unknowable (that's just how probability is). We just know that it will almost surely happen, but that doesn't mean it will happen an infinite amount of occurrences.

The infinite amount of time version is just as vague, one monkey will almost surely type a specific thing, eventually, given infinite time to type it. This is because when you throw infinites at probability, all probabilities tend to 1. Given an infinite amount of time, all things that can happen, will almost surely happen, eventually.

Almost surely, I'm quoting mathematicians. Because an infinite anything also includes events that exist but with probability zero. So, sure, the probability is 100% (more accurately, it tends to 1 as the number of monkeys approach infinite) but that doesn't mean it will occur. Just like 0% doesn't mean it won't, because, well, infinity.

Calculus is a bitch.

In typical statistical mathematician fashion, it's ambiguously “almost surely at least one”. Infinite is very large.

I used Mint for almost its entire existence so far, but recently I've started main driving immutables, and gotta say the experience is even more user friendly. That's my current experimentation stage but, so far, it doesn't feel experimental at all, it just works out the box, no issues.

The whole point is that one of the terms has to be infinite. But it also works with infinite number of monkeys, one will almost surely start typing Hamlet right away.

The interesting part is that has already happened, since an ape already typed Hamlet, we call him Shakespeare. But at the same time, monkeys aren't random letter generators, they are very intentional and conscious beings and not truly random at all.

Sure, but the support, both technical and reputational that a steam OS compatible machine brings would steer the market for more accessible and purpose made components. Bazzite is awesome and my daily driver, but it doesn't have the fancy endorsement of Valve, the owner of the largest game store in the world today.

No system management. A set once and forget it system, ala console style, but with the potential of off the shelf high power components for PC games on the living room is a quality proposition.

Dude committed several genocides because he had mommy issues and killed the first woman he had sex with because she sided with his adoptive dad on whether being strong or being reasonable was more important and then decided to join the literal fascists. It doesn't get any more masculinity troubles than that.

Continuing this take. From a storytelling point of view, they should've made it so that having a lightsaber was extremely difficult, the defining feat of a master Jedi knight. Something that padawans trained to use eventually but was an actually really hard, life threatening even, object to create. Crystals should've been an statistical impossibility, involve a pilgrimage and ceremony, you'd have to be a keen user of the force, train your sensibility to it, master the skill of manipulating life and matter through the force to construct it. Sabers had to be relics, with names, history and mythology. Handed from master to padawan when they became knights through the ages. Further symbolizing the master-apprentice relationship. Thus there can't be any more apprentices than there are masters. Sith would have to kill Jedis and steal them, corrupting the sabers.

But Lucas was a meh world builder anyways, so whatever.

Thats the funniest part about this belief. The pop version is not even accurate to the original research, just a gross misinterpretation. The original bogus hierarchy started with the alpha couple, who are supposed to be the only reproductive couple of the pack. The rest of the population was simply defined by feeding hierarchy, who ate first. This might sound plausible but it only makes sense when you live in a fenced enclosure and there's only like 8 of you, no den space for offspring and you can't leave to find non-family mates. But then people made up a bunch of zodiac style personalities for this shit, and they're just as scientific.

Zodiac signs are about as accurate as tarot readings or reading tea leaves. They're even wrong about what they are based on. The star locations and sun precession hasn't coincided with the original 12 zodiac constellations for centuries. People use the dates and signs as they were set by astrology tradition ages ago, but the dates when the sun changes from one constellation to the next is also absolutely arbitrary to make it match exactly 4 and a half weeks.

The personality descriptions for zodiac signs are textbook examples of cold reading. A technique of making intentionally ambiguous but agreeable affirmations so that people project their self-view onto the descriptions disregarding evidence or specifities.

It is a superstition as it is the belief on the supernatural influence of the relative apparent position of stars in the sky over the behavior and personality of individuals. It's a, mostly, harmless superstition, but superstitious none the less.

It's most likely a troll attempt. The mix up of race with sexuality and the vague ambiguous wording of the question aimed at confuse and enrage the audience seem intentional. It is not a stupid question. But it has been phrased with all the hallmarks of bad faith, including the "I'm not a troll" remark.

Much efficiency, such genius.

Or you could, you know, pay a person a living wage to be physically present at the store to assist shoppers and review the sales.

Or, hear me out. Maybe a 70% review requirement is not automation at all. Just saying.

Percentages can hide the impact of tendencies. Steam has 132MM monthly active users, assuming the poll is a representative sample. Then, 2% is a bit over 2.6MM people using a linux device. This doesn't include steamOS. That's at least equivalent to an entire small country's population using Linux.
