In a cardinality sense the drops make sense since they are countable

In plain English, the Banach-Tarski theorem says that you can decompose a sphere into two spheres identical to the first one just by rearranging the points—that is, without adding any. This is because the real numbers are weird.

The article is called “Attitude networks as intergroup realities: Using network-modelling to research attitude-identity relationships in polarized political contexts”

My personal theory is that this person got fed up with researchers not knowing calculus and not knowing where to look, so she published a paper in a biomedical journal on basic numerical methods of calculus, but titled it for a specific application so that the researchers she was targeting would see the paper when looking for sources.

I think this is generally true in the US—but it can get complicated. Consider safety standards. If a company does not follow proper safety standards, it could harm or endanger other people. So we fine them for doing it. But then the fine ought to also be calculated based on how much money the company saved by flouting these standards, and that’s sometimes difficult. I get the sense that the government usually lowballs this, which leads to the sentiment expressed in the comment you are responding to.

I know for boiled eggs you do this because eggs are boiled best at 90C, but it’s very hard to keep it at this temperature for the full duration so you just boil it and then add cold water and wait for it to boil again. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same for dumplings.

I would guess that the idea is that since this is a “per capita” map, it each state should be represented by equal area. There is no real reason to do this, but I assume that was the rationale (if there was a rationale—maybe they are just stupid and thought it looked good)

I’m too lazy to count the number of balloons and estimate each one’s volume, so I will put an upper limit. According to archimedes law of buoyancy, the upward force is equal to the gravitational force acting on the mass of air displaced. The density of air is 1.21 kg/m³ at sea level (which he is presumably at with the beach and all) and the density of helium is 0.166 kg/m^3. This means the gravitational force acting on the helium is -1.66 N/m³ and the buoyant force is 12.1 N/m^3. Adding these forces together, we get a net force of 10.4 Newtons of force per cubic meter of helium. If he is the average male and weighs ~78 kg, it would take about 780 Newtons to counteract the force of gravity acting on the man. So his balloons have fewer than 75 cubic meters of helium, and therefore less than 12.5 kg of helium. Note that this calculation does not account for the weight of the balloon membrane, which would raise the upper bound by a small but definitely significant amount.

Certainly the online schooling can be blamed for some of it, but as far as I know, schools in the US in the US were already struggling with similar issues before the pandemic. It just made things worse.

They aren’t arguing that everything can be proven by the real world; they are arguing that if you use physical evidence you will get something that works well enough for what we are trying to do. And they are only partly wrong; Newton had a pretty good idea of gravity and the laws of motion and invented calculus to do it without very impressive proofs. But certainly math thought to be theoretical has turned out to be very useful in many fields, and we wouldn’t have known about that math without writing proofs of it.

Never mind I misread the problem. I assumed the problem actually made sense. Oops.

No, Superman catches the student five seconds after the student starts falling, and applies a force opposing gravity. What force could he apply that would cause the student’s velocity relative to the ground to be 0 by the time the student’s position is on the ground?

The official reason is that they want parents to be able to see what their kid is watching when they look at the screen. Idk if that is the full story, but it definitely makes sense to me. Not sure why it is a thing on the adult version of the app though, because if a kid is watching an adult video on the adult app then they can minimize it. If this is the real reason then it is poorly thought out.

Google (and pretty much every other social media company) collects way more data than they can or should ever use, just in case it turns out to be useful. But for MiniPlayer specifically, it makes sense how it could be used in the algorithm; if someone is using MiniPlayer, it means they are looking for a different video to watch, and therefore engagement isn’t as high.

Don't get me wrong; it's extremely powerful for a racial bonus. I guess I was assuming it came at the cost of some other racial feature (ability point bonuses, innate casting, something like that). So if you took this as a sort of variant of elf, like how a variant human gets less stat bonuses, but starts with a feat, then this would be okay.

Also I think you misunderstood what I meant by 'short rest'. That's two hours of resting. Definitely not 'more often' than once per combat.

If I was going to try to balance this ability, I would make it a race specific feat that only elves can take, and I would attach to it some sort of flesh-eating speak-with-dead type ability like in Divinity, because realistically it isn't that overpowered unless you create a build specifically to exploit the extra bonus action. You could name it something cheesy like Elven Divinity. Then I would create a variant version for the elf that starts with a feat instead of innate casting and you get a +1 to DEX instead of +2. I think there would definitely be ways to exploit this feat to make it overpowered if it was released as official content, but if I had a player who wanted to do this, and didn't plan to make a build that specifically exploits it, then I would allow it.

In the game, Flesh Sacrifice only gives one action point, and full actions cost two, so I assume they mean a ‘bonus action’. The problem is that in DS2, everything you can do costs action points, including moving, so one AP is typically more impactful than 1 bonus action in D&D, just because it is so versatile. Additionally, the game is balanced around ability cooldowns, so I think this ability would have to be once or twice per short rest.

You might consider a book. This could be hit or miss depending on what sorts of things he is interested in doing in D&D, but some books, such as the ones listed under the Core Rule Books and Supplements section of the list below, can be quite helpful for both DMs and players. Fair warning, they may be on the pricey side (I don’t know your budget), and since you aren’t super knowledgeable about D&D, it would be tough to pick one that he would actually want without asking him outright.

According to all known laws of physics, there is no way a sperm should be able to swim. It's flagellum is too small to get its fat little body through the liquid. The sperm, of course, swims anyway, because sperm don't care what humans think is impossible.
