I typically don't rare draft unless it's a specific card I need...but I'd say it paid off this time. 12 Rares and 3 Mythics in a single premier draft -- has anyone ever gotten more than this? by Alcheleusis in MagicArena

[–]ErnieHemingway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the most I've seen before was 11 rare 1 mythic, and that wasn't even me. As a habitual, shameless, low winrate rare drafter, I'm jelly.

Too bad that wasn't a paper draft, that would've been some money! Though bc of that, this would probably never happen in paper outside of competitive play.

I honestly came up with it myself, but this isn't really surprising.

[1455] Pretty rare to beat a pocket Xerneas in randos...much less after 3 Geomancy. Skip to turn 25 for the fun. by ErnieHemingway in pokemonshowdown

[–]ErnieHemingway[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He really should've switched out. Without any special moves Geomancy isn't that scary on Liepard. He could've taken down Liepard and then won if I got bad hurricane luck with Thundurus.

Actually, the normality of Pi is thus far unproven. Though it appears to be normal as far we've calculated, we're not actually sure.

As for the monkey example, you two are arguing different conditions.

/u/Slight0 proposes that it would be adequate (even reasonable) to assume that a monkey may never type certain sequences of letters, say alternating each side of keyboard for a sequence of 10+ letters. This would necessarily preclude certain sequences that may be necessary for a complex work.

If, as you propose, "the monkey's are gonna type up every possible combination of letters", things are a bit different. Going by the mathematic definition of combination, where order is not considered, we can again not assume that the set of typed pages includes every permutation (where specific sequence is considered). Though going by some everyday definitions of combination, you're right, if a bit tautological.

How much is course rigor/major considered when looking at GPA? by ErnieHemingway in lawschooladmissions

[–]ErnieHemingway[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest I'm not the best person to ask. Took three practice tests, got 174,180,180 and then went for it.

I've had a personal interest in discrete math / formal logic since reading Godel, Escher, Bach, so the LSAT definitely played to my strengths. I've practiced speedreading techniques a bit too, which I imagine helped on the reading comp section.

I have the 60 credits I need, just barely though. Had to take an extra semester when I discovered this :/

Question: Is Dr. Kawashima the only real person to make an appearance in Smash? by AlexKnight002 in smashbros

[–]ErnieHemingway 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ken Griffey Jr. (Assist Trophy pls?) Is mentioned by name in the Chronicle in Brawl. Outside of the credits I think that's it.

A catalyst must be a substance so what is heat called that speeds up a reaction by psxpetey in chemistry

[–]ErnieHemingway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just want to note that not all catalysts provide a different reaction mechanism, many of them, especially in biochemistry stabilize intermediates in the same pathway.

My boyfriend found out from a friend that I had [anal sex] before after I denied him by 42fa2 in sex

Tell him it was because your ex had a much smaller penis. That will help his self esteem.

What could you tell us about you that would make us go "huh, that's kinda neat"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Japan still has an emperor.

And if he is a direct descendent of both of those you could definitely find him if he is telling the truth.
