If it’s not sunny where you live, then you just get electricity from where it is sunny. It’s really really simple
Yeah, really, really simple. Wait, what are transmission losses?

Have you ever swiped on your phone, but the screen doesn’t move (due to end of content, or unknowingly being an unswipable screen), and you feel your eyes jerk automatically in reflex, predicting the movement that didn’t happen?

Which do you choose: genocide or WORSE genocide? You have to pick one. Not picking either gets you the latter by default. Make a choice.

Sure, it makes for a great lens. You can use it to read the writing on the wall.

I hear what you’re saying, and you’re 100% correct, but I think most people will realize it’s a figure of speech, and easier to say than “Via the process of gene mutation trial and error over many, many generations of Tigers, spots have developed on their ears that look like eyes, resulting in predation from behind being discourged.”

Fair enough, I suppose it is interesting!
In terms of the question, “Are there more infinite sequences that contain Hamlet or more that don’t?”- in the context of true randomness and truly infinite sequence, this feels like almost a trick question. Almost every truly random infinite sequence will contain Hamlet an infinite number of times, along with every other possible finite sequence (e.g., Moby Dick, War and Peace, you name it). In fact, the probability of a random infinite sequence not containing Hamlet is effectively zero. I guess where it becomes truly interesting is if you have an infinite number of infinite sequences. You’ll certainly now have instances of those “effectively zero” cases, but in a ratio’s of infinity lol. I suppose that’s probably what you were getting at?

I could have worded that better. Any probability with a non-zero chance of occurring will occur an infinite number of times given an infinite sequence.
To address the comment you linked, I understand what you’re saying, but you’re putting a lot of emphasis on something that might as well be impossible. In an infinite sequence of coin flips, the probability of any specific outcome - like all heads - is exactly zero. This doesn’t mean it’s strictly impossible in a logical sense; rather, in the language of probability, it’s so improbable that it effectively “never happens” within the probability space we’re working with. Theoretically, sure, you’re correct, but realistically speaking, it’s statistically irrelevant.

Infinite monkeys. Any probability greater than zero times infinity is infinity. You will see an infinite number of monkeys hitting A and an infinite number hitting B. If there were a finite number of monkeys, you would be correct, but that is not the case.

No, E=mc^2^ is the equation of converting mass to energy. Nothing is being destroyed, but simply changing state.
- Comment on Please be patient. 3 weeks ago:
I mean…if energy can not be created nor destroyed, it kind of lends to this hypothesis… 🤔

I have taught my kids to communicate with me entirely in Morse code via blinking.
It’s perfect as it’s nigh impossible to be interrupted, and back-talk doesn’t matter because they look too stupid to even get upset about.

No, I totally get that, and I hate that I “prove” that stereotype. I hear that shit all the time and frankly, it’s disgusting.
I identify more with lesbian, because quite frankly I’m not physically attracted to guys like…at all. I just happen to really be attached to this one guy in particular. Outside of him, I’ve never had a male romantic partner, and should we break up at some point, I don’t see myself doing it again.

Nah, I think I’ll identify how I please.
