ah so base-loss mitigation, thanks

Why did we give them up? Cost-cutting measure?

(No I’m not agreeing with the orange fatball, I’m just wondering)

When I lived abroad, I would see these little guys often. I think they’re not such a big thing here because of the foxes, which are less prevalent in european cities

There will be no change to the ownership structures of water companies, and Cunliffe was banned by the government from considering nationalising the industry in his report. England and Wales are the only countries in the world with a fully privatised water system.

Why. Why are we the only country in the world with completely privatized water.

“No 10 is operating under paralysis of doing anything which might slightly spook the bond markets. Ministers have failed to grasp the underlying issue which is corporate greed. The only people who will be paying for this are customers and billpayers.”

Then don’t fine the companies then, fine the individuals who oversaw those companies and got paid through the nose of it. Send a message you fucking cowards

No not you, just two other people I pissed off on another post who could not let it go

*starts scribbling in idea pad furiously under the table, whilst maintaining a blank and even composure*

No, that does not sound like a good idea. I would advise not telling anyone else about this.

Oh, I just checked out my other comments

Apparently Ive pissed off @kavarski@sh.itjust.works and @iiiisisisi@sh.itjust.works by pointing out a bot post, and now theyre doing it to all my comments:

It’s pretty funny to be honest

this was a bit unprompted

probably not that on topic. It was a song that suddenly popped into my head, when reading OP’s comment

I’ve said and I’ve done things in my time that’d make you shiver
I’ve spent time with wistful eyes just staring at the river
in the end I couldn’t even find the words you wanted me to say
in her heart she knows she never knew me anyway

Now I AM invested!

I said I was NOT invested!

^{(thank you)}

I feel like there’s a story here, but I’m just not sure how invested I am in this to hear about it

Is it? What financial value does this generate for the world economy? How can this be marketed?

Think before you speak.

That was a nice read, thanks for this

Kulvinder Ghir is an unappreciated acting gem

If I open up a pack of biscuits, and we each take turns eating a biscuit, AD says that there’s a dominant strategy that can ensure that I eat the last biscuit. (e.g. there’s only 1 biscuit; I win, or there’s an odd number of biscuits; I win)

i.e. AD says you can rig games like this from the start

For anyone wondering what this is

Bertrand Russell coined an analogy: for any (even infinite) collection of pairs of shoes, one can pick out the left shoe from each pair to obtain an appropriate collection (i.e. set) of shoes; this makes it possible to define a choice function directly.

For an infinite collection of pairs of socks (assumed to have no distinguishing features such as being a left sock rather than a right sock), there is no obvious way to make a function that forms a set out of selecting one sock from each pair without invoking the axiom of choice

So mathematicians always make the assumption that they can make a set from an infinite list of other non-empty sets based on this hunch, rather than any concrete choice function. And then they build mansions on top of this foundation, and use it to score chicks and ferraris, smh
