I don't think zodiac cycles need to account for leap years, since it's the leap years that account for things to make dates align. If by wobble you mean something like the tilt of the axis of rotation changing, then yeah, that'd mess things up - otherwise, I think the constellations are basically just based on where the sun is, and this which direction your part of the earth is facing during the night. If I'm correct, then I suspect the zodiacs do still align, but the constellations will differ depending on your latitude...

Sure, but it'll still narrow down on one of those mods - perfect information would require figuring out why it crashes in the first place, but finding at least one of them would let you play the game without it and look up if anybody else reported problems with that mod.

That comment was a joke, they were imitating the sarcasm of the original reply to the subway, from the point of view of an anti-homeless organization only looking to "deal" with the homeless, perhaps using your comment as an excuse to do so.

I mean, the gutter is made for dealing with liquids, whereas a trashcan is meant for solid waste, so that doesn't seem like a good idea?

I only take issue with the phrasing of "losing money" - but if we agree that that's just semantics (because everybody is getting value for their money), then yeah, I completely agree

I think your point might also apply the other way - people are also encouraged to make exaggerated, incendiary comments for attention. Mild, reasonable takes, especially not posted quickly, will usually be overshadowed by the more extreme top comments. I believe the poster in question defended themselves claiming it was just an exaggeration.

Yes, if you consider paying for service to be losing money. If you invest in a company and it succeeds, you earn a portion of the money (in exchange to providing some up-front). In theory, this is a win-win-win situation: the investor gets a return, the company gets capital to get things going, customers get a new product/service provider.

That said, things like stock trading, especially high-frequency trading, do seem to function in this way.

I know a lot of the current issues are about ideology and privacy. Mozilla seemingly pivoting away from fighting for privacy and into AI, supposedly most recently including integration with remote AI, including Google's, while not implementing the top feature requests... I'm personally sticking with Firefox for now, but it does make me wary.

Well, they wouldn't write it instantly - in the best case, they would start writing it instantly, and finish in optimal time. However, it's possible that no monkey would actually write it on the first try - we'd have to get into some complex predictions on monkey brains and physiology, it's possible that with their brains and muscle structure they wouldn't go for the kinds of character sequences to produce Hamlet, perhaps changing up patterns enough to produce something more random only after a certain amount of time.

Depending on how you formulate the experiment, it could be that no monkey could finish it before physiologically having to take a break or something, returning to specific patterns afterwards that would render it impossible for it to finish writing Hamlet, and thus no monkey would ever write Hamlet in a continuous string of characters, from start to end.

But yeah, if we just say they're typing completely random characters without pause forever, yup, infinity dictates some fraction of monkeys would immediately be on the right track and finish writing as soon as possible, for anything you can think of.

Ah, but you see, "John" and "Doe" are two names - first and last - and when you say "My name is", you're really listing out your names, with spaces inbetween!

But then there's hyphenated names, and I have no idea how those are treated.

I'm pretty sure even if that was the case, the word was hijacked by bigots to insult anything they disagree with.
