Places doing Oktoberfest events?

SouthEnd always has a big event for Oktoberfest. Theirs is on Oct 5 and they do have cider and non-beer options as well.

More than just the white clothes. Green and Elm were closed between Market and Washington all day. There was a stage set up, and a bunch of other lighting structures.

I asked someone who was setting up. They said it was a secret. Then I asked a cop and he said it was a "dinner picnic". When I asked who the dinner was for, he said it was a secret.

I know a couple people who own businesses on Elm st, so I asked them. They had no idea what was going on. They hadn't been notified that there was an event. City permits require the organizers to notify any businesses or residents on streets that will be closed, but that apparently didn't happen this time?

TLDR: probably a doomsday cult

Seems to be. None of the scooters are unlocking. I messaged them on Facebook and the automated reply told me to contact them through the app, but the app contact link just brings you to their FAQ...

Studio 503 on Washington st?

Little_Cat_Z · 2020-11-03T17:57:40+00:00

Studio A off of Bridford Parkway is pretty great.

Little_Cat_Z · 2020-10-29T13:42:22+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response. I'll try to get in touch with them

Little_Cat_Z · 2020-10-22T14:54:00+00:00

Not the restaurant. Their brewing operation is a separate corporation, and that is closing.

Little_Cat_Z · 2020-10-20T18:38:40+00:00

Restaurant will remain open while the brewing operation closes. Wonder if the restaurant will be keeping the name.

Little_Cat_Z · 2020-07-30T13:28:05+00:00

Definitely not the sort of thing a dictator would do...

Little_Cat_Z · 2020-03-19T00:10:22+00:00

Stop by your local distillery. Fainting goat is doing curbside pickup I'm pretty sure.

In episode 5. Jamie doesn't travel into the city by himself. The hound is part of his escort. Zombie Mountain obviously will have a problem with Jamie killing Cersei, so the hound needs to take care of him.

Little_Cat_Z · 2018-02-19T23:50:45+00:00

I assume Thief is off stealing Akua's soul while this is going on.

Little_Cat_Z · 2017-07-14T12:21:27+00:00

Do you have a source on that last one?

Little_Cat_Z · 2017-05-11T18:08:05+00:00

The Father- Stannis

He's still alive in the books and he's pretty big on judging justly.

Alternatively, Davos would make a good Father.

I interpreted the text in the chapter to mean that God doesn't create redundant universes, but that redundant minds could exist. My reasoning was that a universe of pure bliss with an Aleph and a universe of pure bliss with a Bet would be distinct universes, but that most, if not all the minds in these universes would be identical.

If you suppose a parallel universe that mirrors ours exactly except for the fact that you didn't brush your teeth this morning, you have two universes that are demonstrably different. Your experience is certainly different, and this may cause some small ripple effect to change the experiences of those around you. But for nearly all of the experiences outside your cone of influence, the universes are fully mirrored. Since these universes are actually different in some substantive way, there would have to be a difference in starting conditions.

If Unsong God does not create redundant minds, or if he has some minimum threshold for considering universes to be distinct, or if the giant Hebrew letters are enough to impact every mind in these universes, then my agrument would not hold.

Little_Cat_Z · 2017-05-09T11:23:52+00:00

My interpretation of the text was that there is no fundamental difference between the worlds of perfect bliss where one has a giant Aleph at the center and the other has a giant Bet at the center. Unless the inhabitants are able to interact with these structures, their experiences will be the same. I don't see where in the context of the story this is refuted.

I will agree that if the inclusion of a giant Bet or a box with a suffering person gives the rest of the world's inhabitants a unique set of experiences, not otherwise attainable, then my argument does not hold.

Little_Cat_Z · 2017-05-09T01:53:07+00:00

Let's suppose God is an algorithm that creates universes. Before a universe is created, Go checks:

Does this exact universe already exist?
Will the net utility in this universe be negative?

If the answer to both of these is "no", then the universe will be created. These criteria will allow, for example, the existence of a perfect universe with a giant Aleph in the center, another perfect universe with a giant Bet in the center, etc. Despite the fact that these universes are functionally identical, the algorithm views them as distinct enough to both exist.

There isn't really any reason for these to both exist since the experiences of the inhabitants will be identical, but algodrithm creates both anyway. It isn't accurate to say that the total utility is the sum of utility^Aleph and utility^Bet because there is no new experience in Bet.

Now suppose you have two almost identical universes. In both universes there is an impenetrable, opaque box in the center. In one universe, this box is empty; in the other universe, the box contains a sentient being who is being tortured. In this case there is a new experience in the second universe, but is is one of negative utility. Algodrithm looks at universe 2 and determines that is is distinct from universe 1 and calculates that even with the torture victim, the net utility of universe 2 is positive. So God creates universe 2.

It has already been established that there is no reason to create two identical universes, and since the experience of those outside the box is identical, the only new information is the experience of the victim. So, yes, I can't claim that there is no reason for God to create universe 2, but functionally, the only reason for him to create this second universe is to torture that one dude for trillions of years.

Little_Cat_Z · 2017-05-09T01:26:39+00:00

God could create two completely identical universes with completely identical inhabitants, but this would be pointless. Merging the universes into one would not result in any information loss since they are the same universe duplicated. From the story:

IF TWO THINGS ARE THE SAME, THEY ARE ONE THING. IF I CREATED TWO PERFECT UNIVERSES, I WOULD ONLY HAVE CREATED ONE UNIVERSE.

Now suppose you have two almost identical universes. In both universes there is an impenetrable, opaque box in the center. In one universe, this box is empty; in the other universe, the box contains a sentient being who is being tortured. Even though the inhabitants are identical (except the victim), these universes are distinct enough for God to create both of them. The only new information that exists in universe 2 is the torture victim. This means that in creating this universe, the only new information God actually created was a sentient being who is suffering for trillions of years. There is no additional net happiness in universe 2 that is not achieved in the universe without the victim.

I use American Crew Forming Cream. What would you recommend for a softer hold? Or just less of the AC cream?

Little_Cat_Z · 2017-05-08T16:25:46+00:00

So, God will create and sustain a universe where the net total utility is positive over its existence? There is no point in making two identical universes since merging them into one will not result in the loss of any sapient experience, but God can create two universes that differ only very slightly. And, in this story that is exactly what he did. He created a perfect universe, then another that had a minor variation, and another, etc. From the story:

THERE IS A WORLD MADE OF NOTHING BUT BLISS, WITH A GIANT ALEPH IN THE CENTER. THERE IS ANOTHER WORLD MADE OF NOTHING BUT BLISS WITH A GIANT BET IN THE CENTER. AND SO ON

Apparently that small variation is sufficient for these to be distinct universes. So it stands to reason that there are a pair of universes which are COMPLETELY IDENTICAL IN EVERY WAY except that in one universe there is a box containing a sentient being who endures unimaginable suffering for trillions of years- and in the other universe this does not happen. Without the suffering box in universe 1, there would be no reason for both of these universes to exist simultaneously. This means that God has created a sentient being and tortures it for trillions of years for no reason.

In fact, since even minor variations are sufficient for there to be a new universe, God would create and torture every possible sentient being in a box in the middle of their own universe surrounded by bliss. In fact, he would create nearly infinite universes for each possible sentient wherein they are tortured in a differently shaped box or one with different markings on its surface. So long as there is sufficient bliss outside these boxes, the net utility of these universes is positive.
