Depends on if your body gets saturated by that 50% for 2.5 hours. If yes, it’s 100% energy for 2.5 hours. If 50% never saturates the body, it’s 50% energy for 5 hours. If it temporarily saturates, then it’s in between.

Cracks have always existed? You could torrent GTA 5 on release day, or at least the single player part of it.

I get that the designers wanted to have compile time static replacement but this was not the way to do it.

Or don’t look into those things if you wish to remain sane

They also make you stand in line for 10min for the one cashier, and that 10min is worth more than the smugness of not using self checkout

and on top of that heats the outside by however much the inside is cooled.
Yeah but that heat is merely redistributed, it’s not like it’s adding to the total temperature

Wait is this ± 1 standard deviation? So basically, it’s either 0 or 180 in a binary choice?

- Comment on Damn straight! 5 months ago:
the system requires a mass of people without jobs in order to balance itself.
I don’t know where you got this idea, it seems more like the system requires desperate people and lack of jobs does help in causing that. However, fuck the system

That does make sense, thanks for writing this out.
- Comment on The house always wins 5 months ago:
I didn’t mean dice rolls for who starts, but moving around the board.
If you go around the board 0 times, there’s a 100% chance the player who started will be ahead.
If you go around the board 1 times, there’s a less-than-100% chance the player who started will be ahead.
Every added round around the board increases the.standard deviation of spaces moved. While the expected amount of spaces moved will still be higher for the first mover after their turn, the significance of this difference goes down as the standard deviation goes up.
Therefore, running 100 rounds around the board before starting the game will change the first-mover advantage from being ahead 100% of the time to, likely slightly more than 25% of the time but very close to 25%.
- Comment on The house always wins 5 months ago:
Well, if you do infinite die rolls, your standard deviation becomes so high the “7” spaces bias will be relatively less significant
However, replacing first-mover advantage by RNGesus advantage is not significantly better
