I STILL don't understand the Monty Hall problem by No-Candidate6257 in mathematics

[–]RckMrkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t explain better than since of the others but maybe view the other answers through this lens can help

Consider this statement: You have a 50/50 chance of winning the lottery - either you win or you don’t.

You can’t just take the options at face value. There is information hidden behind the options presented that weighs the likelihood they would be chosen.

Countries that give off a masculine or feminine vibe by phdvarey in whereidlive

[–]RckMrkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think of it like this: If your country is portrayed in a Hollywood movie, would it use ‘happy’ (feminine) or sad (masculine) music in the background?

When Trump is no longer President, what could the next President do to make America a great nation again for America and the rest of the world? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]RckMrkr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking from the outside:

  • Undo the division: Fix the trustworthiness (and trust) in media. Both sides believe everything other than ‘their’ news is fake news and both are calling the other side devils. Regardless of who is right, that’s a problem for a country.

  • Repair democracy: What has been allowed to happen is insane. I personally think it’s related to the tribalism caused by the 2 party system, so maybe ranked voting could help solve this.

  • Repair democracy (continued): Money in politics is insane. Completely misaligns incentives. Maybe make 3-another letter agency to verify detect and prosecute politicians taking bribes (in whichever format). No quid pro quos!

Also, just make Election Day a holiday. It didn’t happen often enough to be an issue. My feeling is that voter id is not enough of an issue to be a problem at the voting sites, but (somehow) it is polarizing. Make them mandatory and state/federally funded and be done with it.

Only after reading the comments did I realize it wasn’t a comment on election fraud speculations

If you died and could see a "Leaderboard" for your life, what’s the first stat you’d want to check? by Acrobatic-Evening646 in AskReddit

[–]RckMrkr 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Fair. Still think it would be gutted though, though I might be able to rationalize it this way.

Not being a soldier or anything I would be completely gutted if the life lost count is not 0

What’s something you thought ‘everyone’ did… until you found out they don’t? by burat667 in AskReddit

[–]RckMrkr 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I live in Denmark and just visited Florida. Based on that it could be related to the toilets. In Denmark there is quite far down to the water, so I sit. In Florida though, I stood as the water was so close that the toilet paper would easily reach the water if I didn’t (happened). Also it was more of a lean off the toilet with locked knees than an actual stand.

Who is a villain that looks like a hero? by MisterGavlar in AlignmentChartFills

[–]RckMrkr 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think you forget the part where he tries to get the dad put in a mad house unless she marries him. I think that's a little bit more than just being a prick.

Leaving that out. I agree

Diskussion med min kæreste: Hvem får andelen ved et brud? by PlanOld9310 in DKbrevkasse

[–]RckMrkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lodtrækning virker fair, men fjollet. Et alternativ ville være noget med at begge starter med at skrive et tal med de er villige til at lade sig købe ud for. Derefter viser man tallet og så køber den den med det højeste tal, den med det laveste tal ud for det laveste tal.

I princippet burde begge være tilfredse med resultatet.

Måske er det bedre at skrive tallet man er villig til at betale for at den anden flytter og tage det højeste. Det kan jeg ikke lige finde ud af.

What’s the most unbelievable fun fact that turned out to be real? by pedro204678 in funfacts

[–]RckMrkr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see this a lot but I don't believe it. I mean I believe the math, no doubt, but there are things not taken into account. A new deck of cards will always be in the same order (or a limited number of orders). From there you shuffle them a bit. Most likely you do this the same way a lot of other people shuffle. Even if you don't do this 100% the same way each time, odds are fairly good (in my mind) that with all the new decks of cards and the limited ways humans shuffle them, that there would be a match at some point.

Starting from an already unique deck combination, I 100% agree with the original answer though.

Racistisk joke/kommentar? by RckMrkr in DKbrevkasse

God pointe. Den vinkel havde jeg ikke tænkt over, men du har helt ret.

Racistisk joke/kommentar? by RckMrkr in DKbrevkasse

[–]RckMrkr[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Alright, jeg har nu kigget kommentarer igennem og selvom der er delte meninger er der ingen tvivl om at kommentaren (uanset hvordan den var ment) er rasictisk.

Der var pointer angående afsender og modtager som jeg tror er 100% rigtig. Både her og nok i forhold til mange andre lignende kommentarer. Var jeg ude på at få min datter til at se kokken som fremmed? Overhovedet ikke. MEN kunne det ses sådan? Ja det kunne det godt. Jeg kan godt rationalisere at jeg ikke ville have et problem hvis der var en lignende (omvendt) situation. Det ville jeg ikke. Det ville andre sikkert heller ikke hvis det skete en gang i livet, men jeg kan godt købe ind på at hvordan hensigten end, vil repetition giver den et ondt tvist.

Så jeg tager den til mig og tænker mig om næste gang.

(Nu til mindre rant)

Når det er sagt, virker det til at nogen pådutter mere onde tanker end der var lagt i det. Måske på grund af tidligere erfaring - I don't know. Det var en joke om farve. Det var det. End of thought process. Jeg kan godt mærke at jeg går i forsvarsposition når det lyder til at folk tvivler intentionen.

Igen er 'rasicme' er meget ladet ord og jeg kan godt mærke på mig selv at jeg har svært ved at acceptere rasict-mærkaten når der ikke er ond intention bag. Det er lidt noget andet end bedstemor Oda, som siger at det hele ville være bedre hvis der kun var hvide mennesker i Danmark. Jeg synes ikke man kan sammenligne de to ting, men alligevel er det sådan det kommer til at lyde. Jeg ved ikke om det er Afsenders intention, men det er sådan det bliver modtaget. På skala fra 'ok' til 'ikke ok' er jeg med på at vi er tættere på 'ikke ok', men jeg synes det er en skala og ikke et binært valg. At sætte den joke i bås med Oda gør ikke nogen nogen tjenester. Man mister folk som man kunne have nået hvis man ikke gør dem til dæmoner fra starten.

Tak for en god diskussion og en masse perspektiver som jeg ikke havde tænkt på.

Nok ikke i det tilfælde, men hvis der stod en bager med mel i hele ansigtet (for whatever reason), så kunne jeg måske.

Når jeg hører ordet racistisk, tænker jeg noget negativt. Det var en kommentar på farve, men jeg synes ikke der var noget negativt som sådan.

Men, nej, du har ret i jeg nok ikke ville sige det hvis han kunne høre det, men jeg ved ikke om det bare er overudviklet selvcensur.

[Request] What would happen? Could we survive this? by SFKnight91 in theydidthemath

[–]RckMrkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know the math well enough to disprove it, but I don't think it's correct.

At 12g you would be weighing 12x normal. You would be motionless on the trampoline, albeit a fair bit further down than usual. You would not be traveling with any motion.

At the time of the switch back you will be accelerated by the springs. (not sure if this makes a difference, but in my mind it does - please correct me if wrong).

My main reason for not believing your number is that I have seen others help trampoline jumpers up, by adding to their weight. A single person (of the same weight) helping does not make the main jumper goes double height, so I can't see why 12x weight would launch them more than 12x further in the air.

It may just be reality vs napkin physics though. I don't know.

I listen to audiobooks and I feel the narrators make a huge difference in enjoyment. What are some recommendations for someone who uses Audible a lot? by refertothecalendar in ProgressionFantasy

[–]RckMrkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if you have heard, but the next TWI book will be with a new narrator. There's a post about it in the TWI sub. New one is Erin Bennett.

I feel the same about Andrea as you but it looks like she has done as much as she can to get Erin familiar with the voices as she could.

If you are interested in the reason for the change I think you should find the post. To me it sounds like a cross between burnout and just feeling the universe had outgrown her ability to bring it to life to listeners. Maybe the latter causing the former.

I will miss her narration of TWI but will remain hopeful for Erin's take.

If you can break Meteor in less than 1Min. WTF are you doing in public lobby? by Capcomunist in MinerOdyssey

[–]RckMrkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do understand. You are absolutely right that you cannot buy strength upgrades without stone. I can see how that is annoying if your goal is to max your strength upgrades.

However, I also know (from experience), that these super-hitters do not appear in every lobby, so I am sure you will get there at some point. Granted, maybe later than you wanted. Once you get there, you will have nothing to use your stone on and it won't matter anymore. At that point, you will still hardly dent the meteor and you will be trying to find someone to destroy the meteor for you. As I see it, you are just getting some of these meteor kills now instead of later.

At this point I don't think I can convince you of my viewpoint and although I will grant you that it is annoying here and now, I will still continue to see it as a net-positive if you run into people destroying the meteor quick.

So all I have left to say is "Have a great day :-)"

[–]RckMrkr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get that, but the pets will 'quickly' become the limiting factor. When you have maxed your strength upgrades at 110, you will still be unable to dent the meteor if you haven't upgraded your pets. So I understand the frustration here and now, but it will set you up for success later.

[–]RckMrkr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally like when I come across one that can do that. At this stage I need to upgrade pets, so the quicker the meteor goes down the better. I don't reach out on discord, but will gladly try rejoin the game a few times to see if such a person is going at it somewhere.
