A conjecture is a problem that is expected to be true but has not been proven. So it remains a theorem because it has already been proven. What they did is to prove it in a new way. New proofs could just be interesting or they could provide a new way to think about other un proven problems.

“Like obviously we need to make people know things exist, it makes financial and logical sense, etc.“

Why is this obvious? I know it's so normal that me asking seems weird but, is this really how the world has to work? Can we not imagine a world without ads? I'd like to at least try.

Yeah, this makes sense. Think the thought still holds though. Just needs to be explained with the normal distribution meme.

This is how it should be!!!

If you can feel more than nothing during the root canal (or any dental work) then you need more anesthetic. Dentists aim to give you as little as possible so it is up to you to let them know if you have any feeling. It can start to wear off too, you'll know and should tell them so they can give you more.

Take earbuds and listen to some music during it. Let the dentist know and they will probably be fine with that.

Edit: Read more of the thread. Don't get high, it can interfere with the anesthetics. Your tolerance to them can be higher as well. If you feel comfortable with it you can talk to your dentist about it.

It's been a long time since I read Dracula but I remember really struggling with the start. Nearly quit a few times and it was slow going. At some point it flipped and I think I pretty much finished the book in one sitting. Anyway, it is great and was worth the rough start I had with it.

We did prohibition once already. The result was that all the little guys went out of business and the big guys ended up in positions to be the only guys. I wouldn't discount that as being a possibility for weed.

Agree about the romances in BG3, they feel pretty shallow. While I can maybe see your point about the writing in general what I think makes BG3 great is that it felt like playing tabletop dnd. New bad guys every week, silly fights and absurd coincidence, maps with minimal markers and characters that are there for the party to use to progress as heros (biggest thing to me that didn't feel like tabletop dnd was having to loot every box VS just saying I searched the room).

Haven't played other CDPR games. Guess I don't need to bother lol.

My vote too. It's crazy, nothing can be trusted when it relies on ads. Everyone likes to think it doesn't work on them or is worth the free content but they are wrong and it isn't.

The annular one over north America? Because it was annular. While a cool event it is really a specific kind of partial eclipse. Totality is incomparable to even a 99% partial eclipse. I heard it described as the difference between mostly dead VS dead and recently I've seen the xkcd comic that does a decent job conveying the difference too.

And nanies cost money. So do you have another employee who could be productive now play babysitter half the time? That isn't going to help anything but a lot of companies seem to think it's the answer.

That last bit is HUGE. Part of what is great about working from home is flexibility and forcing people to be in on certain days just isn't ever going to work for everyone. Inevitably you will end up with meetings where one person has to dial in and now the rest of team is annoyed they made the effort to show up that day.

Anyway, I don't disagree with you that a hybrid where everyone is on the office together for some amount of time could be very good for productivity and teamwork. However, it just isn't a realistic which then, as you said, makes it pointless.

Just let people work from wherever works for them.

Tuvix adds another element though. Tuvok and Neelix were already dead and Tuvix was alive. I think that makes this different from the standard trolley problem - still a hard choice but not the same.
