Other than “they’re gonna stop paying you” there’s also the risk of inflation making it so you receive way less overall, since I doubt the amount gets adjusted to match inflation.

But yes, if the jackpot is so high that you’d get 2+mil per month, assuming you’re so worried about the dollar being worthless soon, you can still take the 2mil/mo and diversify. After a year you should already have plenty money to live comfortably for the rest of your life.

There was a scandal about her sleeping with six (not five) other officers, sometimes while on-duty (while being married herself).

If you’re talking about the base image, it’s sort of real.

The player is YouTuber Max Fosh and it was a charity football event. However the incident (as far as we know) was not scripted and he actually tried hard to get a yellow card just to be able to pull off this stunt. You could probably find the video he made on it by searching “Max Fosh yellow card”.

A pyramid is built bottom to top, not top to bottom. That’s also one of the strengths of the ISO format. You can add/remove layers for arbitrary granularity and still have a valid date.

Oops

Indeed. Did you more or less know that or did you challenge yourself to a round of impromptu geoguessr?

Now you know what to post!

Co-op for sure. I’ve seen all sorts of toxicity in, for example, Vermintide or Helldivers.

I’m not sure how fucked up their prompt is (or how unlucky they were). I just did 3 tries and every time it used modulo.

I’m assuming they asked it specifically to either not use modulo or to do a suboptimal way to make this joke.

Tangentially reminds me of Richard Feynman’s Cataclysm Sentence.

If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence was passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words?

When were talking about teaching kids the alphabet we need to train both individual and applied letters

This is only slightly related but I once met a young (USAmerican) adult who thought the stripy horse animal’s name was pronounced zed-bra in British English and it was really hard to convince her otherwise. In her mind zebra was strongly connected to Z-bra, so of course if someone was to pronounce the letter “zed” it would turn into “zed-bra” and not just into “zeh-bra”.

Good intentions alone don’t guarantee good outcomes. I suggest not giving any single person or entity too much power, no matter who they are.

Money is not what makes it legal/illegal. But asking for money is definitely poking the hornet’s nest.

Without knowing any specifics of the TOS or the exact setup beyond what I could gather in this thread: generally speaking they could still send you a bill through email or otherwise.

After that, if you’re not paying up, they might be able to successfully get the money out of you through court regardless, depending on a few factors. What’s more likely for smaller sums is that they’ll just drop it and ban you though.

IANAL of course.

And clearly people who are against Nazis are against socialism…

Or into a horse.

Ah yeah. I can see how anyone could understand it that way.

And same.

Wait, that’s what I meant by “clipped”.

Now I’m curious in what other way my comment could be taken.

Why did they clip the XKCD joke to the point where it makes no sense anymore?
