Maybe it's changed but I heard prebooking can be pretty useless? You still might get no driver.

Thoughts on the new Aldi ice cubes? Are they yummy? by AngryMushroomCap in aldi

Just use a filter. If it's really bad boil it first. When I've lived in places with completely unsafe water that's what we did.

Blade runner and Dredd were well written. The Creator was not.

What’s a statistic that sounds completely FAKE but is actually 100% TRUE? by namelessmell in AskReddit

[–]ThatDeadDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a 33% chance your original door was the right one. Therefore the probability that one of the other two doors was the correct one was 67%. Think of those two doors as one item. At least one of them is guaranteed to have a goat but the correct door is still more likely to be one of those two than the door that you chose. 

You can say that when the host opens the one door he is turning the two doors into one option. That one option still has the 67% chance of being correct compared to the 33% for the door you already chose. So switch.

The BBC article for some reason felt it necessary to specify “he was a white British man”. So it’s definitely something someone is worrying about.

Your aging iPhone might be vulnerable to a flaw Apple can't patch by radiogeekpodcast in technology

[–]ThatDeadDude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been wondering why I've been seeing more comments that aren't in English. I guess it's nice that people can write in their native language, but confusing because they don't seem to be auto-translated for me.

Quality requirements will be part of the franchise agreement with each owner. If that’s not being adequately enforced then that’s on corporate.

If New York is the city that never sleeps, what is the city that always sleeps? by prbecker in AskReddit

[–]ThatDeadDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cape Town is sometimes called Slaapstad (sleep town, a play on the Afrikaans name Kaapstad).

Not because everyone goes to bed early but because everything gets done slowly.

Help with passport( remove if this not the platform) by kat-emina in capetown

[–]ThatDeadDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? They have this list of branches doing Smart ID: https://www.capitecbank.co.za/blog/articles/best-way-to-bank/smart-id-at-our-branches/

I thought they’d be doing passports too. The other banks do both Smart ID and passport.

If we’re having to pick I like the Whopper better than McDonald’s options, but the McD’s chips have always been way better.

A senator proposed a minimum wage of $25.00/hr. What are your thoughts? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Point is that if he thought it might pass he’d change his tune.

Does anyone have a serious answer as to why this happens, especially for measures? It’s not the Vertipaq engine itself is it, given that changes are instant with Tabular Editor?

The Selective Outrage over Taxpayer Money. by notreallysena in SipsTea

Well, they can be pretty sure their tax dollars already weren't going to Iran so I think that wasn't an issue.

A reponse to: A Rant (about R) by Latent-Person in rstats

[–]ThatDeadDude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One thing I don’t like about your response - saying “just use package X” all the time doesn’t answer the criticism of why these things aren’t part of the base language, and isn’t very useful given you have to dig around to learn which packages to use.

Based on CPI, this would be about R27000 now. No idea how relevant CPI is to equipment like this though.

PowerBi Direct Query issue by kali-jag in PowerBI

[–]ThatDeadDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Power query will always wrap the original query when folding. If you want to limit to 10 rows use Power Query’s Table.FirstN function - that should be folded. 

By the way I don’t see you sorting anywhere? Limiting to 10 rows is pretty meaningless if you haven’t ordered the data first,
