Pick a baseball team at random and a season that team existed at random. Let R_1, R_2, ... R_n be the number of runs the team scored in each game. Let S = R_1 + R_2 + ... + R_n. Let P = R_1 * R_2 * ... * R_n. Which is more likely to be bigger? S or P?

Made these today! Took me forever to find red cabbage sauerkraut, but quest has been completed, and honestly - not bad! Sriracha is much better than ketchup (don't need the extra sugar). When I cook the next batch, I'm chopping the peaches.

Composer Max Steiner wanted to replace "As Time Goes By" in Casablanca with a song of his own. He convinced the director to reshoot the scenes that mention the song by name. Unfortunately (or fortunately!) Ingrid Bergman had cut her hair short, to shoot For Whom the Bell Tolls

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

Math explanation: - let A be a subset of another set B - A is "open" if, for each x in A, A contains a neighborhood of x - A is "closed" if, for each (x_1, x_2, ..., x_n, ...) in A with a limit x_∞, A contains x_∞ Note A can be both open and closed

Code explanation: - If I send a change to the cloud, then you are "behind" the cloud until you pick it up - If you have made a change, then you are "ahead of" the cloud until you send it - You can be both behind and ahead of the cloud

The song "Ice Cream" by Selena Gomez and BlackPink references the movie Free Willy, which came out when Ms. Gomez was a year old, and none of BlackPink had been born yet

This was always the plan. Gay marriage is next Then interracial marriage Then women's suffrage

To recap: three GOP-led states that wanted the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade in order to "send abortion back to the states" are now asking the Court to strike down abortion protections in blue states

Excluding people because of... - their weight - their identified gender - their facial hair - other things unrelated to their ability to do the job ... does not give us a better military. It gives us a worse military

I pray thee, good Mercutio, let's retire; The day is hot, the fucking Capels are abroad, And if we meet we shall not 'scape a brawl: For now these hot days is the mad blood stirring.

Hi everyone, it’s “be nice to yourself o’ clock” which means you have to forgive yourself for something boneheaded you did AND you have to make a plan to do a small nice thing for yourself. That’s the rules. What’s a small nice thing? For me it was driving through my favorite local coffee place.

Windows' new "move taskbar to side or top" feature works really well with full-screen Windows App connections - put the taskbar in different locations on the local and remote and you can instantly tell which Start menu you are interacting with

The biggest problem with online libertarianism is that many "libertarians" mistake repudiation of the status quo for a sufficient requirement to be libertarian, rather than merely a necessary one

Video Games are for everyone. PERIOD. No matter what the color of your skin, gender, etc. Don't give any attention to the nobodys & grifters that say otherwise. They're not worth the time of day & just ignore their toxicity and bullshit. As long as you're having fun, that's all that matters. 😎🎮👍🏾
