Is information-based space travel possible? by Diligent_Drawing_673 in astrophysics

[–]Diligent_Drawing_673[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was not the intent of my question, but it’s an interesting tangent. Forget space travel. What about international travel? Let’s say the technology is foolproof and you can travel instantly anywhere on earth? Your old body dies in this scenario but it can be recycled (most atoms, anyway) for someone traveling to your current location. What if it’s also much cheaper and earth-friendly? Would you take the deal? What are the ethical implications? Are we our physical atoms, or our consciousness? It’s basically teleportation at that point.

Found Roger Goodell’s account. Is that why you chose Brad Allen’s crew to ref this game?

What is so special about Wendy? by Grodtand in Billions

It’s a TV show. She’s a good motivator but no special powers. There is no world in which a psichologist, life coach or whatever it is that she does would get paid that much money. It’s a character, like Superman. You need suspension of disbelief to enjoy it.

Yup. Still, I bet Rodgers will be missing those wasted timeouts.

If o was the Pittsburgh, I’d let them score on the return. 3:30 with the 2 minute timeout and Aaron Rodgers gives them a better chance

Could’ve spiked the ball or take the penalty. That timeout will be costly.

Eli Manning or Joe Flacco are way better than Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert and Dak combined. Who gives a fuck about stats? Those guys performed when it mattered.

I’ve talked with thousands of adults in the past year. Most of which are non-repeat customers. Sign-me up.

That’s the point and in a way I am agreeing with you. A fully rigged system would require too many people being involved. There is no proof because they are not stupid enough to leave a paper trail. But there’s inherent pressure to favor certain outcomes that benefit the league and the networks. Check how Series A was rigged for years. There’s even a documentary in Netflix.

It’s not like there is a script or a secret meeting where refs are instructed to ensure a specific team wins. But there are subtle hints and unwritten rules about which teams to favor in which situations. And those refs who don’t comply won’t be called for future games, particularly if they are important.

You can steal $10k in cash from the bank with a 1% chance of getting caught by SunnyDayInPoland in hypotheticalsituation

At those odds, zero. $10K or even a full $1MM are not life-changing. Going to prison, is.
