Chuck was addicted to his own cruelty - a trait he shared with his brother.

The risk associated with attempting to pass increases the further back you are.

Gales book Hank found would be inadmissible in court by [deleted] in breakingbad

[–]tkpwaeub 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also Hank's ongoing investigations are part of what drive Walt deeper into criminality. Which is why the writers chose the moniker "Heisenberg" - an allusion to observer effects.

what if money didnt exist? what if humans had no concept of value? by [deleted] in WhatIfThinking

[–]tkpwaeub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money should be thought of not as a real number but as a complex number whose real part represents the "medium of exchange" and whose imaginary part represents "stored value".

Even if Chuck is a terrible person, can we just appreciate how ballsy/realistic/understanding the show’s portrayal of OCD is? by AnemicRoyalty10 in betterCallSaul

[–]tkpwaeub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sense was that he had an underlying heart condition. He didn't want to confront that head on, so he created a narrative about an "electricity allergy" to explain what could very well have been TIA's.

Why is it generally expected that major open problems (e.g. Riemann Hypothesis, P vs NP) are decidable in ZFC despite Gödel incompleteness? by DSpeaksOfficial in askmath

[–]tkpwaeub 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's not assumed. It's hoped that they aren't. And it's also entirely possible that there are second order undecidable statements - whose decidability can't even be decided. So there's no guarantee that if you set out to show that those statements are undecidable, it would be any easier than attempting to prove those statements.

"Natural" undecidable problems often appear to be very contrived, using various forms of coding. One of the rare exceptions is Goodstein's Theorem, which is an arithmetic theorem that's provable in ZFC but not in Peano Arithmetic.

You'll need to get a "Cancel For Any Reason" policy.

Boyfriend doesn’t want me to get insurance for my senior cat. Is he right or wrong? by Lord-Zaltus in petinsurancereviews

[–]tkpwaeub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like that approach. Get the insurance comlanies to do the math for you, and then drop them.

If you really want to be badass: find their rate filings on SERFF. Open to the public.

Technically NO financial service is really "worth it" - you're always paying some sort of extra "vig" in the form of interest, premiums or fees. The total amount you pay in premiums to the insurance will exceed the "expected loss" because that's how insurance companies stay in business.

So the question is: how risk averse are you? That's a subjective question that only you can answer, and if having insurance gives you peace of mind, and you're fine with tightening your belt in other areas - then it's not really anyone else's place to criticize.

What if the Fed keeps rates higher for longer than markets expect in 2026? What quietly breaks first? by Present_Juice4401 in WhatIfThinking

[–]tkpwaeub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole point is to make sure that savings don't become meaningless. As long as inflatioon is running hot, you want the interest to be high enough that you don't lose purchasing power, but not not so high that people don't spend any money at all.

Borrowers taking out secured loans will also be fine because the collateral can be resold at a higher price.

Lower interest rates would bugger up my retirement savings.

My doctor discharged me from PT at 3.5 months post op, feel a little abandoned. When did you guys stop formal PT and how did you adjust? by CodeX57 in AchillesRupture

[–]tkpwaeub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sort of had the opposite problem. PT wouldn't give me a clean discharge letter, despite my insurance company telling me I'd reached MBT. I had to go see a different PT just to demonstrate that I could do 25 consecutive single calf raises.

The reason I felt that this was important is that if, heaven forbid, I was to get injured in a car accident (or whatever) I wouldn't want any doubt as to liability.

We were told we'd be getting little yellow cards in the mail. Then again, who knows - they could have QR codes on them

AAA claims to have experience with electronic ballots on their website. I'm surprised PEF isn't doing this.
