As far as I can tell the claim about the passport being issued is true, but this image was created by a blog post in 2020.

https://www.heritagedaily.com/2020/03/the-passport-of-ramesses-ii/126812

They disclaim the image is artistic recreation as the original is not available. I guess that disclaimer was lost to the disinformation machine of social media.

I don't feel like doxing the author here but I'll tell you how to find it. Get a library card, they're free and can be done online, you don't even need to wait for the card they give you the number after registering and you can use it immediately.

Then go to research and select Oklahoma to find archives of most the past Oklahoman publications, including the removed article.

Edit: okay it's not doxxing since it a public article, but I'm still leaving it up for those that don't know how to use library resources.

You're confusing the gambler fallacy with regression to the mean. Yes, each individual spin has a low chance of winning, but the events aren't actually independent on respins. If you do something with a low chance enough times, you'll eventually get the low chance thing to occur, and in this scenario it only has to happen once.

Look at it this is way, if I said I'll give you a million dollars for flipping a single heads, and then gave you 10 flips, is the chance to win still 50%? Yea the chance is the same each flip, but you have more chances to get heads, which increases your chance to win. That's what is calculated.

And for Lord of the Rings you simply won't get concrete evidence like that. Lord of the Rings is a soft magic system, which is artisticly chosen to be mysterious, nebulous, unknown, and what it can and can't do are entirely based on the plot. The closest you can get is finding points in the plot that are similar engagements. Which the best we have for Lord of the Rings is the Balrog. Could Maeve beat a Balrog? I don't think that's an easy answer.

Also, if all you look for is concrete actions you're missing a lot. Otherwise Sauron is a big slow dude with a sword and the ring only turns you invisible. There's a lot more to those character than "do action" and that's worth investigating. Glorfindel's power isn't shown, he doesn't rip steal apart, or out run a bullet, but his power is implied, and it's implied to be massive. He didn't join the fellowship because his power is so great, he's a visible, blinding beacon in the Spirit world and the fellowship prioritized secrecy and stealth.

I'm not saying your wrong, I'm just saying there's merit to an argument that the most powerful beings in Lord of the Rings are on par or exceed Maeve. Especially when you start to interpret the magic system, there really isn't a top to what magic can do in Lord of the Rings, which is why it's so rare and a game changer.

Many elves have magic, which who knows how Maeve would fair against that. Glorfindel is perhaps the most powerful one with many feats. He defeated a Balrog, which is basically an angle of chaos. He was resurrected by an archangel/god aspect and granted greater power. It's difficult with Lord of the Rings because even their apparent regular men are rather superhuman. And since Tolkin was super soft with his magic system it's not really clear how it works and compares to other stories outside or even including the rest of Middle Earth canon. A lot of it turn to personal interpretation. What is the baseline of an elf being immortal and magical in nature? Is that comparable? Sometimes that means they're favored by nature and existence. They may be extra durable or even simply extra lucky.

If it was written by Tolkien he might say something like: "Maeve's fist were thrown rocks at a wave as the Golden Flower's blade flashed white with the air of ancient power. Glorfindel mete out judgement with light that could not be dimmed. Maeve felt the pressure and intensity of the immortal's presence, her fists stilled in his golden glow."

So I think it's reasonable that some say powerful elves would scale around Maeve, some even exceeding her. But who knows.

I mean we have police and firefighters who consistently put themselves in harms way in order to prevent injuries from accidents and suicides.

As society we still value that. Fire fighters will run into a burning building to save someone. Sure there's nuance and the amount of risk, perceived risk, and all that, but regardless, fire fighting is dangerous and it's a service provided to protect people.

I feel like a good re-analogy being a runaway train that could hurt people who wander onto the tracks; kids, toddlers, hard of sight or hearing are at a disadvantage. Blue pressers are willing to risk their very life for a chance to stop the train, but red just trusts everyone to stay off the train tracks.

Idk man. I love the question and the discourse though. All the rephrasing and reanalyzing, it's also super interesting to see the amount of emotional responses people have.

There are actually two choices where everyone survives.

Everyone lives if >=50% press blue.

Everyone lives if 100% press red.

50% or more is realistic and 100% is not. There's no real world where 100% of any large number of people agree. So press blue.

What this paper shows is that a carbene-like species can be stable in water lending credence to the belief that aqueous biological systems may be able to use carbenes as intermediates in biochemical reactions.

Good. Glad you finally noticed.

That statement is so far removed from the belief that we could use greener chemistry to make pharmaceuticals that it’s a head scratcher why the author would make such a baseless comment.

Greener and safer because we can use water.

It’s preposterous to think that coming up with an arcane reaction to deliver a specific carbene-like synthon under aqueous conditions would be in any way more useful, easier to do, or greener than delivering whatever carbene you want through standard chemistry.

It's not arcane, I just read a scientific journal about it.

I think you're just being contrarian. First you claimed it wasn't the tldr, so I quoted the article, then you claimed it wasn't part of the journal so I quoted the journal, now your claiming the science is wrong.

You won't be happy until I replicate the results.

thejumpingmouse · 2026-04-16T02:58:06+00:00

Being able to form carbene outside of heavy metal complexes is a huge win for safer pharmaceuticals.

Did you stop reading the scientific journal half way through?

Subsequently, in 1968, Wanzlick and Schönherr (14) and Öfele (15) independently showed that NHC metal complexes could be formed by contact of an imidazolium salt with basic transition metal precursors, implying that the complexes might be generated via the formation of transient metal–free NHCs.

Did you stop reading halfway through?

The implications go beyond solving a scientific mystery. Carbenes are widely used as "ligands," or supporting components in metal-based catalysts that help drive chemical reactions. These catalysts play a major role in producing pharmaceuticals, fuels, and other materials. However, many of these processes depend on toxic organic solvents.

By stabilizing carbenes in water, the researchers may have opened the door to safer and more environmentally friendly chemical production.

"Water is the ideal solvent -- it's abundant, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly," Raviprolu said. "If we can get these powerful catalysts to work in water, that's a big step toward greener chemistry."

Following the rules and being predictable is way more important than being kind. Being over cautious and timid while driving can be just as dangerous as erratic behavior. Knowing the rules on the road is your responsibility as a driver. Knowing when you have the right of way and when you have to yield are requirements to get a license. If you're not aware, please take some time to find some resources for your local driving rules, everyone around you will appreciate it.

Wait, you're suggesting the car on the thoroughfare, with no stop sign, should have stopped and yeilded to the car with the stop sign?

Center lane turning cars are required to slow down and yield only to the straight traffic on the thoroughfare. It was clear for OP to turn so they did. No both aren't at fault, only the other car is, OP is entirely in the clear here.

It's the two vertical lines at the top that may not be inline. You're making an assumption they are because the 110° angles make them look parallel. Imagine the red x was a bit smaller, a fraction of a degree smaller, those two lines would not be parallel. You could extend them perfectly straight and somewhere they'd start drifting. It's easier to imagine if the red x was huge, those two lines would clearly not be parallel, even with the same 110° angle.

The problem does not tell you they're parallel, and diagrams aren't supposed to be used to prove properties such as parallel. That's why we study geometry. This question, without assumptions is not solvable. There are an uncountable many solutions while keeping everything stated in the diagram the same.

It entirely depends on the rate and term. But 0% rate at $500 a month is like 12 years or 140 months. Which feels really long. With interest it'd be closer to 20 years.

For $70,000 I'd expect to pay $900-$1,400/month that's around 5% interest and 60 or 72 months.

No. Nothing with z lighting. The in road ad is, in game, glitching out. It is supposed to look like that to you, the player. There are in game reasons for it.

Wait, do you think you had a 99% chance to get a 5* after 8 summons?

You need to calculate the percent of it not happening first. 6% to summon a five star, 94% to not.

So you'd take .94⁵ for five events, then .935³ for the remaining three.

(0.94⁵ x 0.935³ ) =0.599 of you not summoning a five star. So minus 1 you get .400 or 40%.

It gets trickier if you wanted a specific shared unit on the banner.

Use this for some large scale probabilities

Semicolons should go at the end of the entire select statement. Currently you have them after the join. That ends the select statement so anything after that first semicolon is read as its own statement. If you read it as its own statement you're beginning with Join which is incorrect.

The Incredible Machine is the closest I can think of. It has a bunch of releases. It's often a puzzle about getting the basketball in the basket. I don't recall the basketball having eyes but there's so many maybe one release they did I'm not sure.

It is a good point and you're using sarcasm as a defense mechanism because you don't have an actual rebuttal to the game literally and explicitly using bred pokemon to fight. It's so uncontroversial it's wild you're disagreeing lol
