I know just enough about Japanese to to be pretty sure that's a ツ is a phonetic character. I don't think it has an actual meaning.
But ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Vaccinating your remaining kids, after losing one, would be an admission that your decision to not vaccinate that child was responsible for their death. @npub1nzj…pmgc @npub1e6h…wfj6 @npub1a36…2a3j

That the system is impossible to navigate without error is a feature, not a bug.
The inevitable errors go unnoticed, so long as no one in power has reason to notice them.
They get the immigrants they want, and an easy way to get rid of people they don't want.
The aim of a police state is to make it necessary to commit crimes to survive. The police choose which crimes to enforce, and which not, and that gives them power over people.

Not sure the original source, but this feels accurate (if incomplete)

No, it happens. Being a landlord is a bit of a lottery. There are bad tenants out there, and there will be some lean periods. But on average, landlords have done very well in recent years. bad@npub1zu3…lqqd @npub13cf…nrp5 @npub1egu…v2p8 @npub17tv…q7ve @npub1ztx…9x8l

But I'm reasonably sure that
- for 3 dimensions, the chance of hitting the opposite side is > 1/9.
- for 5 dimensions, the chance of hitting the opposite side is < 1/9.
And, you said, not the normal number of dimensions.
So my guess is 4.
Unless there's such a thing as a fractional number of dimensions.

I'm not even sure I can calculate the probability for 2 or 3 dimensions.
If we assume we pick a random point, and then head in a random direction, we have an equal chance of hitting each side. If turn around and head in the other direction, I don't think you have an equal chance of hitting each of the other sides, but I'm not even sure of that.

you couldn’t say the trains didn’t run on time under Mussolini, but not because they ran on time, they didn’t. The reason you couldn’t say it was for much the same reason you don’t publish accurate economic statistics in America if you don’t want your job to become a statistic.

Because if we admit that what Israel is now doing (with our support) is genocide, then we have to admit that what Israel has always done (with our support) is genocide, and then we have to admit that we have been supporting genocide and who wants to admit that?
