For #4 if the Random instance weren’t “new”, then calling the nextInt() function would definitely have side effects, since the next integer would pull one away from the random stack.

However unlike the first three which will run within a consistent amount of time, #4 will take an unknown amount of time to run, so you can’t just collapse it and eliminate the loop.

For example a very simple race game where a participant moves a random number of steps each turn, we may want to time how long that race takes. We can’t just say that they will reach the end immediately. In fact technically we don’t know that they will ever finish the race… But that’s the halting problem and a whole other issue.

I do my best to avoid putting toilet data on my hand.

Realistically, no. But should as in recommended, yes.

If I read your username I’m going to read/say it in my head, so I’m going to attempt to pronounce it.

If every username was just a long number, I’d probably start to find a pronounceable, and specifically memorable substring to remember. A username of “846768556888434”, I’ll call you “34” from now on.

In the case of OP, “YICHM”, you’ll probably just be called “Y-CHIM” or maybe “Why Jim”. Is that your name? No. But is that what I’ll remember, probably.

But even pronounceable names, like mine, probably get shortened. Just “Mimic” or just “Jar”.

Which is all just to say I’m going to try and pronounce it no matter what you have for a username, so if you want others to pronounce it the same way, it should be pronounceable.

a shitty website

Or worse a PDF of the menu.

Additionally if the phrase mom/dad already failed to get their attention, or if I’m in a location with many other moms/dads.

Because he agrees with whomever he spoke to last. If you talk to him more, he agrees with you more.

I don’t know that I agree. AI will continue to grow stronger and heartier, just like Campbell’s new Extra Chunky™ All Americanado™ Chicken Noodle Soup.

But also at that price… Just hire someone to clean you. That’s the real rich person way.

To add, give me some way of tracking these collectables.

If I’ve collected all of the trinkets in a given area, mark that area in some way. If there are 100 trinkets, number them and give me a list. Give me a map, hints, thing that beeps, something.

I don’t need any of the above to be unlocked from the start. You can add it in the post game or after I’ve collected some percentage of them or make it a side quest.

It’s annoying going online and someone has posted “I found 99 of 100 things, where else to look?” and basically no one can help them. It’s annoying being that person, to be so close and yet so far.

So technically, in this specific instance, Trump Mobile isn’t run by Donald Trump. It’s instead a separate company run by Don Jr and Eric Trump. That company is then licensing the “Trump” name from The Trump Organization.

Now The Trump Organization is owned by Donald Trump, although officially run by Don Jr, Eric, etc.

But you’re absolutely right that all of this is bullshit. It’s also why Trump is so pissed at New York AG Letitia James for investigating and uncovering all sorts of shady business practices.

You’re absolutely right that Congress should be doing something about it.

Just so it’s not forgotten to time I want to recommend AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake). It’s basically what if Metroid 2 was made in the Super Metroid engine.

I’d recommend any of the 2D Metroids, but if you’re going to play Metroid 2, that’s the version to play.

I’d pay to see that crossover episode.

The “Richards Family” versus the “Toretto Family”.

That’s exactly what I’m thinking and hoping. I’ll have to wait for the reviews and longer gameplay, but if it’s Dragon Quest Builders + Pokemon then it should be a fun game.

The little info (i) box on Billboards website actually cites their data, “The week’s most popular downloaded songs, ranked by sales data as compiled by Luminate.” Which I assume refers to luminatedata.com

Sadly their data (the numbers specifically) aren’t publicly available.

I think it’s worth clarifying that it’s #1 on Billboard’s Country Digital Song Sales. That’s a specific category.

According to https://tasteofcountry.com/breaking-rust-explained-ai-country-song in order to reach number one would only take ~3,000 purchases.

That’s a shockingly low number, so if anyone can confirm that or has better numbers, I’d love to know.

But last time I brought a digital song, they cost $1. So for a couple thousand dollars any song could be number one in this category.

If I were an AI company swimming in money, that’s a drop in the bucket for some free publicity.

Your hand.

So I had trouble finding a breakdown of those 19 states and what the specifics of those laws are. In general what you have are 19 states who want to do it. However some of those 19 explicitly call out waiting to enact the law until A, the federal government first passes a similar law and/or B, neighboring states also pass similar laws.

Basically no one wants to go first, but they’re ready once everyone else is. While switching twice a year is painful, being the only one not to switch is also painful, possibly more than just switching.

I disagree, they’re about an hour off.
