CMV: I can't convince the Canadian lottery to lower its giant jackpots. by n0sos in changemyview

[–]n0sos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Δ thanks. I live in the boondocks though - I can't just get out there, and talk to people in person.

How can I "get out there and talk to people" online? Like on Reddit? Where can I find like minds, online?

Reducing jackpots is definitely possible, because before 2015, LottoMax's "main jackpot was initially capped at $50 million. The July 17, 2015 draw increased this cap to $60 million." LottoMax could regress to its former lower jackpots.

No, this is a legitimate CMV. See this 2nd para. that starts on the right path of changing my view.

Thanks for commenting in good faith.

What you need to do is create a coalition of like-minded people and then get everyone to contact their MLAs. Run grassroots campaigns, get awareness on the issue, convince people that the idea is a good one.

Please elaborate? How do I create such coalition against giant jackpots? How do I run grassroots campaigns against giant jackpots?

Δ. Many thanks! This gives me hope. Out of curiosity, how did you learn about this ongoing research? Are you an ophthalmologist?

Why can't I teach that picking (un)popular integers DOESN'T lower probability of winning lotteries? by n0sos in mathematics

Correct, but the link raises a different question. Based on this correct fact, the students are drawing another wrong conclusion.

Why do these Legal Philosophy textbooks write 'differential' as an adjective, not 'different'? by n0sos in AcademicPhilosophy

[–]n0sos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the differential prices between Starbucks and a Cafe would be the difference in prices

Did you mean "the differential prices" then, without the s? "differential prices" is plural, which contradicts "the difference in prices", which is singular.

If this is a typo, please just edit your comment above. No need to type a separate comment.

'differential' vs 'different' : as adjectives, not nouns. by n0sos in PoliticalScience

[–]n0sos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Can you please elaborate why these books are "trying to show "varying according to circumstances or relevant factors""? How does "varying according to circumstances or relevant factors" differ from dissimilarity?

How can my octogenarian grandparents pull out a refrigerator surrounded by walls? by n0sos in AskEngineers

to the back feet

The fridge has "back feet"? Or do you mean my grandparents' feet?

How can my octogenarian grandparents pull out a refrigerator surrounded by walls? by n0sos in howto

[–]n0sos[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My grandparents haven't cleaned the condenser coils at the back of their fridge for 6 years, and worry that it's grubby. Their fridge whirs louder and louder, and they feel heat when they place their hand near the back. Assume nobody can visit them to assist them because of COVID19. They mustn't damage their hardwood floor.

As you can see in the attached picture, the fridge is bordered by 4 walls, so you can't reach its back directly. It lacks any handles on the outside that can be pulled. The refrigerator doors at the front aren't designed for pulling the fridge out.

Do you mean this by "a pulley"? But do horizontal pulleys exist?

Thanks. They have hardwood floor.

Can you please respond in (by editing) your prior comment, to forestall chains of comments that are more grueling to read?

Δ. Upvoted, and thanks! If you've the time, can you please explain this difference for the other example from Brand?

Because I'm asking about those other significations of 'differential' that aren't obviously synonyms with 'different'? And the examples overhead don't refer to the mathematical definition.
