Fuck that. First come, first serve. Get it if and while you can.

Jack, while John had had “had”, had had “had had”; “had had” had had a better effect on the teacher.

Well, not with that attitude.

If a die is weighted, the first roll is no longer 1/6 probability to get a 7

Yes, actually, it is. No matter what the first die lands on, there is a 1 in 6 chance that the second die will land on the corresponding value necessary for a “7”. You could glue the first die to the table with “6” (or any other number) showing, and there will be a 1 in 6 chance that the second die will bring the sum to 7.

Weighting one die (to favor “6”) will increase the probability of every outcome over 7, and will decrease the probability of every outcome under 7, but the probability of rolling a 7 will not change.

Either way…never seen a racist ghost. Which I think has to be statistically impossible.

Hetty Woodstone (“Ghosts”) hated the Irish.

DQ has surprisingly good chili dogs. Their burgers aren’t bad, if you omit the ketchup.

A whole lot of things just started making sense.

My feelings exactly.

If she is still financially reliant on her parents, you should abide by her wishes on the subject. You should not consider it a reflection of her relationship with you. She is doing what she needs to do to survive and thrive.

Eventually, she might choose to rely on you for financial support. But, you could be killed in a traffic accident, and she would still be dependent on their support. Even after you are supporting her financially, she still needs to do what she needs to maintain her relationship with them.

You should not consider her relationship with her parents to be a reflection on your relationship until she is capable of supporting herself, independent of both you and them.

Until then, she is being coerced, to some degree or another, and you should consider that coercion when evaluating her behavior.

That’s called “loitering”.

Sounds expensive.

Way I see it, if I’m over 1:1, I’m owed more than I owe. You’re welcome, and/or, where can I pick up my check?

In this job marlet, if you’re not lying, you’re not trying.

I would expect more mishaps from a regional turboprop, flying ten 45-minute flights a day, than a widebody flying a single 12+ hour flight a day.

Mishaps are most prevalent on takeoff and landing. The aircraft that make the most takeoffs and landings are going to have the highest mishap rate.

The risk of a mishap is greatest on takeoff and landing. Inflight mishaps are extremely rare.

A “flight” is one takeoff and one landing. The largest aircraft have the longest duration flights. They might be airborne 12+ hours at a time. They might fly fewer than 10 flights a week.

Small commercial aircraft flying local and regional routes might be shorter than an hour. These aircraft might have 70 flights a week.

A student pilot in the smallest, single-engine GA aircraft might spend all day shooting touch-and-goes to build time and experience. Each touch-and-go is a landing-and-takeoff. These aircraft might have 300 “flights” a week.

Yes, the smallest aircraft are going to have the highest per-airframe mishap rate, simply because they experience the most risky phases of flights much more frequently than large aircraft.

Per-flight, the risks aren’t significantly different.
