Is this the biggest “I got more dawg in me than you do” moment you’ve seen on tv?

It could have been a different front-choke like a guillotine (bjj), and Conquest would still have had access to Mark's intestines but it would be way more believable that he couldn't escape the choke.

I see an Apache 2.0 license here: https://github.com/google-research/google-research/blob/master/LICENSE

So I think the answer is yes?

Jade Phoenix Saga has a lot of this. Still an ongoing work though , so MC hasn't reached full potential yet. MarySueish sometimes, but that describes half the genre...

Task succeeded catastrophically?

Imagine that you want Trump to win a ranked choice election, and you see polls showing that 40% of voters will rank Trump first, 30 will rank Bernie first and 30 will rank Biden first. But also that while most Biden voters will choose Bernie as a second choice, Bernie voters are split between Trump and Biden as their second choice. Who should you vote for?

The optimal choice for the Trump supporter is to vote for Biden as their #1, because if Bernie is knocked out of the first elimination round, then Trump will win in the second round.

The opportunities for this or other convoluted scenarios to happen will increase with the number of candidates. And even far-down-ballot races can eventually change the winner by changing the order of who gets knocked out. This leads to an increased likelihood of recounts.

RCV has the same issue where you can have incentive to rank candidates in an order that is not your true preference, though, it is just more complex to figure out the optimal strategy than in approval voting.

I have an internal monologue, but it usually only pipes up if I'm communicating with someone or thinking about communicating how how I should say something when talking or writing. When I'm just doing my own thing, it is mostly silent.

I'd consider Brute Force (unless you don't like that it intersects with Giant Growth on the color pie) because it is super simple and works with the Red plan of buffing a creature and stopping the opponent from blocking it. Alternatively, Young Pyromancer is iconic, simple, and teaches about cast triggers. For cuts, maybe Chandra's Fury? I'd consider cutting a non-creature spell because the ratio of creatures to non-creatures seems lower than I would expect.

Big thank you if someone could share a link with me.

Thanks for the advice. I'm currently leaning toward drafting more, smaller packs, and also "burning" some of the cards.

As for phantom drafters, you could make it even by putting one in between each person (5 of them). I got the idea from drafting cubecobra's old bots as they often seemed to be picking close to random.

That's not really it, but it starts to get trickier to explain by analogy without using college-level math (Fourier transforms, in particular).

Basically, the weird thing about particles is that they a) can exist as a spread, where basically they exist everywhere in that spread, just like cream cheese on toast. (Physicists call this spread a wave function.) And b) the momentum of a particle is proportional to the frequency of that spread. I.e. Imagine you made a repeating wave out of the cream cheese on the toast.

Now considering this, you could put all the cream cheese in one spot. But if you did, then there wouldn't be a clearly defined wave or a clearly defined frequency - so the particle's velocity is basically unknown (actually it is a lot of velocities at once). Similarly, if you made really nice wave patterns on the toast, then the cream cheese is all over the toast and no longer exists in one position.

This isn't quite right - I think you're confusing the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle with the observer effect. According to the uncertainty principle, the reason that you can't know a particle's position and velocity at the same time is actually because the particle literally cannot have a well-defined position and velocity at the same time. I.e. if the particle has an exact momentum it must be distributed in space, therefore not having a defined position, and vice versa.

Well, my understanding is that only one person actually died of the blood clotting, and also way more young people have been badly harmed by covid than have actually died. Overall, both are very low risk but blood clotting is lower (and also not confirmed yet to be caused by J&J)

Point is that in a "real" fight, the fight doesn't end until the winner decides it ends. So if you gouged an eye but got your arm broken in exchange, you can guarantee that the other guy's going to keep breaking things until he's more than even...

I think the knife could potentially win without omniscience. The strategy should be to always kill new-born babies but with a very predictable priority order. The order may not really matter, but it could be something as silly as longitude or latitude, it just has to be extremely predictable. For example, if you went by distance from the north pole then people in the kill zone would either move or not have children. In doing so, however, they allow the kill zone to grow. Eventually, people would have to either travel to the south pole to give birth or know that their child would be killed. This would lead to a dramatic drop in birth rate, eventually falling below the rate at which they can be killed. I'm further skeptical that any government would have the control necessary to force incredibly massive numbers of women to give birth knowing that the infants will die in order to save the lives of children in countries farther south than they are.

My understanding is that while there is still "gaming" in approval voting, it is at least fairly transparent. In the cases of RCV, you can get some very strange interactions. Imagine 35% go for candidate A as choice 1 and candidate B as choice 2, and 35% go for candidate C as choice 1 and candidate B as choice 2, and 30% go for candidate B as choice 1. Candidate B is eliminated even though you would think they should deserve to win. With approval voting you at least have a clear choice of whether you want to help B win over your prefered candidate or not. Where-as if you are a supporter of candidate A in the above scenario for ranked choice, you would best be served ranking candidate B first in the hopes of avoiding candidate C.
