The birthday paradox

If you get 23 people in a room the odds of two of them sharing a birthday are 50%

The birthday paradox is a veridical paradox: it seems wrong at first glance but is, in fact, true. While it may seem surprising that only 23 individuals are required to reach a 50% probability of a shared birthday, this result is made more intuitive by considering that the birthday comparisons will be made between every possible pair of individuals. With 23 individuals, there are (23 × 22)/2 = 253 pairs to consider, far more than half the number of days in a year.

Whenever I get stuck in an airport I like to use the opportunity to move around, since you're not going to have that luxury on your flight.

Airport scavenger hunt:

Easy (1 point)

– Someone trying to explain to a TSA agent why there’s a larger-than-3.4-ounces bottle of shampoo/conditioner/moisturizer in his or her carry-on bag.

– Someone throwing away a bottle of water or newly bought cup of coffee at the TSA checkpoint (get an extra two points if the person is chugging the water or coffee in order not to waste it, or three points if it’s alcohol).

– One person using all the outlets at a charging station for his or her multiple devices.

– The traveler pretending not to know English in order to board the flight before his or her zone is called.

– Someone with a carry-on bag on the chair next to him or her in the waiting area to discourage anyone else from sitting there.

– The vacationer in shorts departing a warm-weather destination for a cold-weather one.

– Someone in a later zone blocking the gate entrance so passengers in earlier zones can’t board.

– The well-dressed business traveler with just a briefcase who is on a cell phone every minute before takeoff.

– The couple standing on both sides of the moving walkway, preventing anyone else from passing them.

Medium (2 points)

– A woman trying on eye shadow, nail polish or perfume at a duty-free shop.

– A gate attendant pretending he or she doesn’t see the person waiting at the desk to ask a question.

– Someone near the check-in desk repacking a suitcase and redistributing items because the bag is too heavy.

– A rowdy school/church group that you hope isn’t on your flight.

– An argument at the ticket counter (add an extra two points if the gate agent is actually remaining friendly and trying to help).

– A small child with a character-themed suitcase/backpack.

Hard (3 points)

– A kid standing on the baggage claim conveyer belt (get an extra point if the kid has actually gone for a ride on it).

– A person fumbling with multiple coins and currencies while trying to pay at a shop or restaurant.

– The backpackers who have clearly been traveling for months and may or may not have dreads (an extra point for dreads).

– The person who arrives late to the airport and begins asking everyone if he or she can cut the line in order to make it to the gate in time.

– The honeymooners (or soon-to-be-married couple) wearing bride and groom apparel.

– Sports team members wearing matching uniforms.

– Someone changing in a bathroom stall (an extra point if he or she uses the sink for face washing or tooth brushing).

My only engagement with the Hamilton material is with the Ben Franklin song because I love the Decemberists and Colin Melody sings the soundtrack version, but that song does cast at least a little shade on BF when it makes fun of him for being too horny to do politics right and for being a shitty father.

I don’t think so? They usually call and confirm a price before they fill.

Try a local compounding pharmacy. I send them bup scripts almost every day and they’ve never told me they don’t have enough.

🙃😐🙃😐🙃😐 <- what an animals’ head looks like rolling across the floor after it’s been decapitated to check for Rabies.

[–] Iraglassceiling@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago (2 children)

DONT GET ME STARTED

…Ok, but you got my started. Vaccine reactions, specifically vaccine associated sarcomas, are a real documented risk for animals getting vaccinated. They are associated with adjuvanted vaccines, especially the rabies vaccine. They are rare, but we know they happen.

We still recommend vaccinating your animals.

These numbskulls are inventing fake shit to get worried about instead of educating themselves about the real, actual scary things.

I hope their dogs don’t get rabies, because there is no antemortem test 🙃
