    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    Yup. It's fine to exercise with more complexity than is needed for fun, but one of the foundations of problem solving is to reduce the problem to its most basic components. Worrying about sample sizes for this problem is not doing that.

    Outlast

    Does this horror game actually have real gameplay? I could never get far in these games because there wasn't any real choice by the player.

    Breaking Bad

    It's clever usage of cinematography, but foreshadowing assumes Walt gets shot in the head. That's pretty unlikely. There was so much foreshadowing this season that Hank was going to be put into jail, but that's not how it played out. This show isn't about creating neat packages with all the...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Yeah getting an xbone over a ps4 because it's easier to get at launch doesn't make much sense given that the best exclusives aren't available at launch right?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    You're right. Lesnar is more of an athletic rarity than a size rarity.

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    I haven't watched deal or no deal because it's an awful show, but I imagine that this type of principle wouldn't apply in it because it's more of a continuous spectrum of reward instead of a bunch of goats and cars. If there were 31 briefcases, 1 of which had a million and 30 of which had $1...

    War with Syria

    Should make a glass cage instead to guarantee nothing is injured.

    Breaking Bad

    I agree with you. In addition I think Skylar knew that if she played into Marie's hand things would go better for her if it was true. And if it wasn't true it wouldn't matter.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Really surprised by the announcement. What motivation do they have for removing the AH? Isnt' that the way they make their money?

    Sounds like a problem with the publisher than Playstation? Or did the xbox have preloading?

    You're right. We need to genetically engineer condors to not be shitbirds.

    poll: will the us dollar be replaced as the world's reserve currency?

    Poll needs a timeline to be effective. Very few people would argue that in one million years we'll be using greenbacks.

    War with Syria

    What's the word for a change in the environment that creates new conditions for natural selection to occur? Evolutionary stimuli? Let the most windmill averse california condor survive.

    Guild Wars 2

    I don't play GW2 because they nerfed ride the lightning but I agree that there should be boss mobs that are difficult to kill and are typically roaming around. Maybe I just miss Gorenaire smashing fools all day long until a guild came by and killed her.

    Yeah their show is unwatchable for me. The last one I saw was the breaking bad episode and they covered so little content over the duration of the show I had to fast forward it. And there's no real scientific discussion, it's just lowest common denominator gruel.

    Haha I forgot about that mission. What a pile of shit. Getting the unlimited sprint unlocked from the ambulance was a real bitch too.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Why would I do that? Lesnar is the perfect comparison to Gregor Clegane. Both are inhumanely huge and athletic. Both have an immense amount of training. You guys saying he's just some big dude are off the mark. He's not a finesse fighter but he knows how to kill.

    Breaking Bad

    He was remorseful for both things. The truth is that he couldn't have killed off the guys in the prison and not been looking over his shoulder for Mike the whole time.

    D.C. Naval Yard Shooting

    Just like 50% of the people who say they're in the military on the internet say they are in special forces. All the people I know with clearances keep it on the down low.

    Breaking Bad

    So who thinks what about the dog crossing the road at the end of the episode? Is it an homage to the good the bad the ugly? Is it a symbol for Walt being the rabid dog that is set free and becoming the lone wolf, able to now... jaywalk? Did a mutt just run on the set?

    Breaking Bad

    Here's how I see it: Chaos: "Walt is prideful to the point of being evil" Chaos' strawman that Lithose built: "Jesse gets a pass because walt is evil." Lithose: "Jesse is stupid to the point of being evil" Lithose's strawman that Chaos built: "Walt gets a pass because Jesse is evil." also:

    Breaking Bad

    Yeah I don't even know what Chaos and Lithose are arguing. Do either of them think that Walt or Jesse are good people? They're both the tragic protagonists in the story, one is misled by his emotions and the other by his hubris. This was a fucking great episode though. Next academy...

    War with Syria

    Yup. But I bet they'd figure out a new enemy. Just like if Iran was out of the picture the warhawks would beat the drums at NK or Quebec.
