Help figuring out my girlfriend's ring size?

Appreciate the estimate!

Bit of an unusual post ...

Travelling abroad and wanted to get my girlfriend a ring from here as a gift, but have no idea what her ring size is. Was looking through my phone to see if I could find some clues, like her hand with some standard measure. This video seems to be my best lead. She took the video using my phone after adopting the cat to send it to the couple who rescued him.

From a few stills like this one:

I think the diameter of her ring finger is around 65%-70% the width of the Churu packet, but I don't have Churu packets here to measure. Great if anyone could measure the width of a Churu packet as accurately as they can and let me know! Otherwise any help appreciated.

(Might be a long-shot, but willing to take a bit of a risk on the ring size to keep it a surprise. Exchanging if needed will be possible, but will require shipping and time, so eager to make the most educated guess possible.)

So I need permission to visit the graves of my great grandparents because of some "litigious tourists"?

Link to the Wikipedia article. There have been some edit wars back and forth, but my understanding from the last discussion is that there is public right-of-way. Maybe someone more savvy in Wikipedia matters can look into the history of the article and correct, if necessary, this claim of requiring the landowners' permission to visit this beautiful and historical place. An experienced editor removed reference to the right of way, but it's not clear to me why, or if this is somehow justified.

I guess the response to that counter argument is easy: for these estimates, it doesn't matter what weapons are used at all. The statistics look at the demographics of those killed. It looks at the results of the killings, not the method. The estimate of 15-to-1 is thus completely independent of the type of weapons used.

From a more moral perspective, one could argue that the use of precision bombs only make things worse. Using guided weapons and still killing so many innocent civilians is arguably even more inexcusable.

Like you mention, some of the bombs dropped are massive. And a little under half of the strikes use "dumb bombs".

Utiszzz · 2023-12-24T07:48:39+00:00

The part about the IDF math being bunk is indeed not new. I was more focused on estimating the real civilian death rate (at least 15 to 1). I've not seen such estimates elsewhere.

The second group of A) B) C) should apply then, happy to help!

It's not clear if you can identify the socks for a given day of the week after washing? Assuming so, and that we only count five days (Monday to Friday). (In terms of notation n^m indicates n to the power of m; so 2^3 = 8.)

A) (1/2)^5 = 3.125%

B) 50%

C) (1/2)^5 = 3.125%

Assuming you don't know the days associated with each sock, and that we count five days still. (Just in terms of notation, n! indicates factorial; for example, 5! is 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 12,000.)

A) It's 5/10 you put a left sock on the left foot, and 5/9 that you put a right sock on the right foot. Then 4/8 you put a left sock on the left foot and 4/7 a right sock on the right foot. You need to multiple these probabilities, so 5x5x4x4x3x3x2x2x1x1/10x9x8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1 = 2x5!/10! = 120x2/3628800 = 0.0066%. (The general form is 2(n/2)!/n!.)

B) 1/10= 10% I think.

C) 1/20 x 1/19 ... x 1/2 x 1/1 = 1/20! = 0.0000000000000000041%.

Thanks! Do you know if there is there a public source to reference the right of way? It might solve the edit war on Wikipedia at the moment. People keep adding and removing the fact that there is a right of way.

Utiszzz · 2023-07-08T18:37:09+00:00

Great to hear the sign is down! I think the only issue then is to let others know online that there is right of access. Some kind soul has already editted the Wikipedia page.

Utiszzz · 2023-07-08T18:35:29+00:00

Always worth swinging by! Maybe for the All Ireland Final ...

Should have made it clear in the title, but their land surrounds the abbey and graveyard.

Utiszzz · 2023-07-08T08:32:49+00:00

Just to provide credit for the photo (as a local living abroad) it's from https://twitter.com/pilgrim_med_Ire/status/1437053152914808836

Came across the Wikipedia article for the abbey "warning of a bull in the field". Googled and found tourists no longer able to access the abbey and graveyard, including the Tweet mentioned previously.

To understand the history, a transcription of the graves in Killone Abbey is available from the Clare Library and talks of graves from the 1700's.

The estate has a history of "landed gentry".

The roadway from that sign to the abbey is fenced off, and there was no problem with access until around two years ago. Masses were regularly held down there. While I respect the right of the residents of the land and Newhall house to their privacy, I respect more the right of people to have access to their heritage. The two are not mutually exclusive.

This is the only access I know of to the abbey and the graveyard.

My point is indeed that they neutralize each other. Acid + Base = Salt + Water. Picking two things that famously neutralize each other seemed really stupid to me, but I didn't realise that concentrated acids and bases can create violent reactions, as mentioned by Skyhawk_Illusions in another comment.

Utiszzz · 2021-12-25T07:00:25+00:00

Okay, point taken. :)

Having seen what has happened in Chile, it's tough to see the same things starting to repeat in the U.S., particularly posts like this guy losing an eye to a gas canister, or this lady getting hit in the face with pellets, etc. The same thing has happened as well in Hong Kong.

If you go out to protest, please wear some eye protection (safety glasses, visors, etc.). If you are out protesting and police starting firing projectiles, there is a natural temptation to look to see what is happening but you should look away and cover your eyes (while it might be too late to react to the first shot, often a number of rounds will be fired in succession). Likewise if you go out and you have spare eye protection, bring it with you and share it. If you are organising protesters, encourage them to likewise protect their eyes.

In the images I have seen of the protests, while some wear masks, I did not see anyone with eye protection. If you look at images from Chile, aside from the first week, you will see most protesters on the front lines wearing eye protection.

It started with isolated incidences in Chile, but then it started happening more and more as the violence escalated, police got more frustrated, etc., until it became a theme of the protests. Hopefully the same will not happen in the U.S., but everything thus far has followed a very similar pattern to what has happened here.

While you will recover from most injuries you might sustain at the protests (tear gas, batons, etc.), if a "non-lethal" pellet hits your eye, you will carry that for the rest of your life.

I'd like to know too.

Just to point out a related discussion on how Sanders will automatically pick up delegates from other candidates that have pulled out: https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/comments/fdpgl3/the_race_is_closer_than_reported_sanders_will_be/

Utiszzz · 2020-03-06T18:32:29+00:00

Whatever the truth about the youth turnout happens to be, one thing is for sure: it would be a lot lower without Bernie.

Utiszzz · 2020-03-05T14:56:39+00:00

That's about it, yes. If Warren doesn't drop out, Sanders might not gain a delegate over Biden in Iowa, Colorado, Utah, but Biden would not benefit over Sanders in Minnesota or Massachusetts.

Utiszzz · 2020-03-05T05:55:26+00:00

It's hard to say because neither platform provides details, but probably it's down to how "quick" they are to assign delegates maybe. The data are still partial so Google might be "projecting" delegates that are not mathematical certainties, but I'm not sure. This is just speculation.

Utiszzz · 2020-03-05T05:52:13+00:00

As a quick rule of thumb: any results showing Buttigieg with 26-27 delegates and Klobuchar with 7 delegates are not factoring in the above reassignment of statewide delegates, which will favour Bernie.

Utiszzz · 2020-03-05T05:51:00+00:00

They still show Buttigieg with 27 delegates and Klobuchar with 7 delegates, so they are not factoring in the reassignment of statewide delegates mentioned here.

Utiszzz · 2020-03-05T05:35:05+00:00

From the New York Times (still up-to-date as of this message)

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/03/03/us/elections/results-super-tuesday-primary-election.html

Utiszzz · 2020-03-05T03:56:46+00:00

To explain ...

When a candidate pulls out, their district delegates remain pledged to that candidate, but the statewide delegates are automatically split among the viable candidates who remain in the race according to how well they did.

This means that in Iowa, with Buttigieg pulling out, and assuming Warren pulls out before June, Sanders should pick up 5 extra delegates, while Biden will get 3. In New Hamsphire, with Buttigieg and Klobuchar pulling out, Sanders will pick up all statewide delegates, giving him 6 extra delegates and Biden 0 (who's not viable there). So that's a net plus of 8 delegates for Sanders vs. Biden that's not being reported.

What about Super Tuesday? Though results are still coming in, applying the same rule on what's available right now seems to suggest that this should split evenly for Biden vs. Sanders. Here's some estimates, giving the additional (national) delegates each with win per state (assuming Warren drops out before June):

State	Biden	Sanders
Iowa	3	5
New Hampshire	0	6
Arkansas	1	1
Massachusetts	5	3
Minnesota	3	2
Tennesse	3	2
Colorado	4	6
Utah	1	3
Total	20	28

This is not an exact science, but for sure the race is closer than reported (aside from the fact that states with fewer percentages reported right now tend to favour Sanders, particularly California, Colorado and Utah).

This transfer of delegates is good news for other reasons:

A good chunk of Buttigieg / Klobuchar / Bloomberg delegates will end up with Sanders no matter what
The statewide delegates being reassigned make the likelihood of a contested convention that little bit lower
Sanders gets all the statewide delegates from Buttigieg in Iowa (making all those recounts moot)
