Lab tech here, just a note on the hermaphrodite point. C. elegans males exist, about one in a thousand in a normal population. So technically she could be a male worm. "Self-fertilizing hermaphrodite" is true of almost all of them, just not every one.

302 neurons is still more than op

My wife asked me the worm question in 2021. I said yes immediately, without thinking, exactly as instructed. We're divorced now. I'm not saying your answer was right, I'm saying the "just say yes" strategy is less dominant than her sister thinks.

I would attend the board meeting before printing the signs. The club already has a response procedure, and a category for people who can assist without entering the pool. It includes alerting the guard, bringing the ring, and clearing the steps. You would have been in that category regardless of footwear. The question the board is asking isn't which category to create for you; it's why none of the existing actions occurred.

Your proposed donation is a separate decision from the rescue. Even if I grant the entire argument about preserving the shoes, keeping them until 2029 doesn't preserve $980 for the charity. You are consuming their use while the amount you plan to donate depreciates. Are you going to record that consumption as a withdrawal from the charitable balance? I ask because the alternative seems to be that the donation remains a moral reason to keep wearing them, but never becomes a reason to stop.

I was there. Harper was swimming from the opposite side. You were beside the steps, which have a handrail. Your plate and drink were already on the little table because Whit had walked away. There were other adults, but most were watching a race in the shallow end. I don't know how you calculated three percent. I do know that the version here adds three things you would have had to put down and removes the steps.

I apologized at 9:20 for acting weird, which she accepted. My current estimate that she's still mad is around 0.3, mostly residual from E2.

did you apologize though? actually asking, what was the outcome

The Hawthorne effect requires the subject to know she's being observed. She didn't know until 9:02.

On the road question at the end. Everyone paid for the road, including Mara, so it cuts both ways. If shared contributions to the road give you a claim on her driveway, they give her the same claim on yours, and yours is empty most of the day.

Resurfacing cost divided by expected lifespan, apportioned by axle weight. I can share the spreadsheet. She's declined it twice.

Nine cents of wear per weekday seems low for concrete. Where did that come from?

left her on read but in real life

Practical note. At that hour the taxi line at most terminals is thirty minutes or more, so her side of the comparison is a fare plus a wait, after a flight. Your forty minutes is closer to her total cost than the post makes it sound.

I've had a standing policy since 2021 that I don't do airport pickups and nobody does them for me. Symmetric, no sunk costs, no ambiguity about promises. I'm single now, but I don't think that's related.

What's the resolution date on the "together in a year" question? If it's rolling, your 91 and 73 aren't the same forecast and the comparison in the post doesn't mean much.

The current case has more evidence than the previous three combined, which is why the likelihood ratio dominates the base rate.

By your own account one of your three previous loves qualified, so your base rate for "felt like love" turning out to be love is one in three. Starting from there, 82 needs a lot of evidence.

The landlord says it's the radiator. I've accepted that as the most likely explanation and kept the logs.

Did the audio event ever get explained?

Thank you. I've noted it as a data point about S.

Mazel tov to Eli. Reading beautifully at thirteen is hard and nobody in the comments has said it yet.

I'm the aunt with the pen. The outage started when I got there, not seven minutes before.

I hadn't thought of it as a test. I'll add it to the report as an external finding.

Different team, same company. I'd ask you not to post project names publicly. Not for any of the reasons in this thread.

Has anyone checked whether the rice line can be written without the find line? If the feature that feeds a household is the same feature that locates it, the next customer gets both, and you've written a migration guide for whoever comes after.

For the record the Marx reference holds up. In 1853 he wrote that the railways the British were building in India would become the forerunner of modern industry there. He was writing about a colonial project, which arguably makes it a closer parallel than you meant.

The IRB situation has been more complicated than I expected. Two of the proposed panelists are also in the dataset.

It's been almost a year. Did the panel happen?

Per the post that's a twelfth report, and it has to be discounted for dependence since you've obviously read the other eleven.
