Thanks! I honestly surprised myself when writing it. Things just pile on and I don’t notice until it goes bad, which is not good.

Far from free here, but yeah already tested of course. :) No covid.
I’d love if it was more popular!
Mighy try and make at home. Parfait ice cream is reasonably uncomplicated. Wonder if I should make it from dried apples.
Yessss, that was an embarrassing omission in my list.
My bank: “We have a new valuation on your home! Open your app to see it!”
…
“It’s down 2%!”
Fair! But why “Pirates!” but not Civilization? Formally, they are all named with the prefix.
I was heartbroken when it ended. Was a big fan of Dara already, now I love all of them.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Can you give an example of a possibility you think of? In its simplest form it’s exactly your house wifi if you disconnect your internet uplink. Anything bigger is also exactly a subset of the current internet disconnected from the rest, plus you having to maintain infrastructure.
I got mine from Audible.
The audiobook is voiced by her, if that’s your medium :)
Gossip, not news.
there are many details in one image, and the chances of some player recognizing one of those details is an instance of the birthday problem?
That would be a valid model. But you are still right that it doesn’t apply: It would give the effect that a different geoguesser would get the picture right every test, while we are seeing consistent results from the top geoguessers.
I see your point, but the Birthday Problem would apply differently.
It is the chance of “collision” between randomly picked elements from two large enough sets of comparable random data. If I understand correctly, the random data here would be “geographical fact” like bush density and road width. Set A is geoguessers’ geographical knowledge, and set B is pictures’ geographical features.
So if we picked hundreds of random picture and hundreds of geoguessers and asked them, the chance of one guessing one image is high. And the person would be largely dfferent every time.
In this case, we can give one specific geoguesser a large amount of pictures and that same geoguesser would get most of them right.
Yes, but it would be an effort that does not come down to any strength, machinery, physics or logic, because in his universe the Narrative Force is infintitely stronger than any natural laws.
And the hammer is ruled by a strong narrative: Thor’s storyline.
So he would have to create a compellig narrative where he moves the hammer in a way that makes an interesting Thor story.
He can’t just move it with a planet-size magnet powered by the sun itself, but he could move it with a planet-size magnet powered by the sun itself if it could be explained in a cool way and gives Thor a great struggle to overcome, causes tension to test his relationship to Odin, or moves his character arc.
Brian Bilston is a treasure.
That’s the best response, imho
As a hiring manager for nearly 4 years straight, dealing with way way more than 100 applicants for some positions, I know it takes minutes at most.
All hiring systems have ways to send batch emails to rejected candidates.
If you don’t have a hiring system for some reason, it’s still just hitting reply/ctrl-v/send to each applicant you move out of the “possible candidate” inbox.
Giving a reason “why” tends to hit people badly if they didn’t specifically ask, so a stock response is not only easy to give, but the best response. Whether and how to respond in more detail to people asking for “why”, is a less easy decision but good if you are able to.
That makes sense. Assuming it’s both and treating it as such seems like the right action in all cases.
