If you talk about this machine being "98% accurate" people get very confused (and very scared when they get a positive result). Even if they're still more likely to not have the condition.
Wine, Politics, M:TG, Derby, Urban Affairs, Travel. Probably bad puns. All views expressed here are actually yours; sorry, I don't make the rules. they/them Toronto based, but I get around.

That's correct. Which is why "test accuracy" isn't a good metric, rather than false positive rate, which is a lot tougher to understand. And a 67% false positive rate is abysmal.
This thing is going to get SO MANY USians denied insurance for "pre-existing conditions" that are actually false positives
Maybe it's because I'm extremely gay, but if I was in a situation where I didn't want to wear my sandals, and I couldn't carry them, I'd simply hook them to a carabiner on a belt loop/bag before just leaving them somewhere random.
"I get why they do it..."
Even at 6 mana, for me, tbh. Eg it took Myriim from being a fun and interesting card to something that I took out of my dragon deck because it's just unfun
It's referencing a meme.
I get why they do it, but gosh, I hate how so many copy effects have a "but it isn't legendary" clause attached to them. Legendaryness should be meaningful.
Listening to @sportsnet590thefan.bsky.social and the importance of pausing between sentences becomes clear. "The Jays lose in a walk-off thanks to our host and producer Sho Alli" Wow, Sho called out. #LightsUpLetsGo
I'm just amazed that it's possible to appear in court without being officially an attorney on the case, I guess. (And maybe it's just my extra-ness but if I knew that an order relevant to my job was coming out, I'd be proactively checking regularly)
Thanks. Didn't know that that's what not entering an appearance meant.
Does DOJ council not get the orders from the cases they're working? And are they not expected to, you know, READ them?
They're already messing with his routine by skipping his start. And he says he's a team player.
It's really not his call to make.
Since we have a six man rotation and skip a starter every time around, I don't understand why this isn't exactly when you'd want to go to berrios for 4 innings or so.
here’s a version where the POV is blacked out whenever the driver takes their eyes off the road
Sigh. Isn't the whole idea of having 6 starters (and skipping one every rotation) that you can have them come on for long relief in exactly this situation, rather than burning through the entire bullpen at one inning per reliever? #lightsupletsgo
Well, so much for Presumption of Regularity, I guess? "We're going to stay in this hearing until the kids are off the plane" sure feels like it sends a message. About time, too. Well done, Judge.
Her name (which, presumably she didn't choose for herself) has no bearing on her job, her ability, or anything else. If you can't take that name seriously, just use her surname, preceded by 'Judge'
This feels exactly like the stupid games they played in previous hearings. *sigh*
If you haven't started playing @britannica.com's Revealed, you really should. It's a delight.
The bar is low, but this goes over it. We can't expect perfection, but when you mess up, being open to getting called in from your friends and apologizing rather than doubling down is better than the alternative.
What? No. The bigots are significantly worse than the people who, after being hurt, aren't ready to forgive. Genuinely terrible take.
This. The bar is low, but he cleared it.
Does any party (since both litigants were on the same side) have the status to appeal?
Gotta say though, making it a draft pod instead and it's twice the fun. :p
I'm not sure. They're a Newfoundland based chain, so possibly not, but they do seem to have a lot of locations right on the border - Niagara, Windsor, Sault Ste Marie, etc...
What if I told you that you could play Magic IN your den?
Can confirm!
I can absolutely assure you, from personal experience, being cool is not required.

I mean, yeah, obviously. That's why it's called a playgroup, right?
Seeing these responses makes me so glad I live in Toronto, where I have easy access to both (and so much more). But also, Mary Brown's if I'm looking for fried chicken.
Walking around you can see so much historic Jewish Toronto all over the city. The 2 Jewish cemeteries between Jones and Pape south of the Danforth; the Greek Orthodox church by Baldwin Village where my dad has his bar mitzvah; the former dayschool in North York that's now a professional building..
This could be a @mtgds.bsky.social Shadowfax Award contender
And it's deep in middle of nowhere suburbia too.
Legend has it that in 2015 three generations of the family were killed and the perpetrator turned them all into dolls. Why, what are the photos like?
Sometimes I love the juxtaposition of posts in my feed.
Ayden/Grayden/Jayden/etc, at least for the Trans Masc crowd in the 90s.
"no, you see, we must construct our techno-god in our own image. So of course it needs to be evil and vengeful, for it is simulacra of our inner desires" basically.
*ism. Sigh
I sure am glad that we pulled Bieber for better matchups this inning. #LightsUpLetsGo
It was the inevitable result of McCartneyish.
This is my question. Followed by 'what do they look like'?
@riannemarie.bsky.social, just in case we actually DO want to get up early.
[sic] burn, WaPo, [sic] burn.
The magical Bay station closet is truly a place of wonder.
This, basically. And I recognize that if cash back cards as a whole didn't exist, merchant fees *might* be lower, and retail prices *might* follow by being slightly lower as a result. *might* But since they do exist, and other people use them, it's free money for me to use as well.
It's egregious that some venues put the start time as when the curtains open and the show begins, and others put the start time as when the doors open, and there's usually nothing on the ticket that tells you which it is.
Different cards have different rules, I guess. Mine is just a straight 1% cash back. I love the simplicity. I don't need to spend a lot of money, or track points, or anything. If I spend money, I get 1% credit applied to my balance.
Why *wouldn't* you want cash-back though? If I'm spending $100, and my credit card is only charging me $99 for it, why wouldn't I want that dollar in my pocket?
With the state of regressive conservative ideology lately, I'm going to need you to clarify if comparing "COVID stay-at-home orders to Japanese internment" means she was in favour, or opposed to them.
What, are you going to steal it from yourself?
We're never going to eliminate illnesses at schools and community gathering places. But we can do SO MUCH to help mitigate the risk. Harm reduction is good.
They're asking the full court to reconsider a decision made by a smaller panel of the same court.
I still don't like that Companion thing. Really would have prefered if Companions, like wishes and lessons, simply didn't work in Commander. But that's not a hill I'll march on.
I thought that the problem with Thalidomide wasn't the efficacy (it did make morning sickness better) but the lack of safety (it caused birth defects)? Or are those terms different in a clinical context aside from their common usage?
Or, hear me out, everybody would be safer if it was a "no-issue" system. Guns, and access to them, are a big part of the problem.
I hope nobody invited Pham.
Beautiful. Hang it in the Louvre.
I won't claim to understand Czech - and maybe their word for religion specifically excludes non belief in any gods. But also, this conversation has been happening in English, so your native language isn't relevant here. You need to update your priors.
You literally said that any rabbi who is an atheist is a "lying opportunist"
This is you, right now. You're the consent meme.
You don't actually get to set the rules for Judaism. Your view of religion isn't really relevant in Jewish communal questions and what makes somebody a Jew (or a Rabbi).
sigh. Have the day you deserve.
DOCTOR was the name of the psychotherapist script of ELIZA. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA
You know that you were responding to a thread that started with the word 'Jewish' right? It was about Jews. The thread, that you responded to, talking about persecution, was - in part - about Jews.
ELIZA, perhaps? It would have been fairly old by then, but they kept updating it for new OSes. (I used it in the mid-90s for fun)
Wait until you find out how society treated Jews for literally centuries
The answer to your question is literally there in the screenshot. Heck, it is even there in the Alt-Text if you needed something more accessible than an image. "A belief in the existence or presence of God is not a requirement to be a practicing, religious Jew."
I have no idea who the heck you are, so I had to go by your words, which made you sound exactly like those 'afraid of cities' people. Which is what I was responding to. Your 1st response seemed to reinforce that. But okay, I'm glad you don't actually feel that way. Have a great rest of your day.
I mean, dude, I was responding to your claim that "Normal people aren't looking for roommates." by showing you that, yes, plenty of normal people ARE looking for roommates. You didn't bring probability into this until later, as a goalpost move.
Can't be accused of going over budget if you refuse to tell people what the budget is!
That this card doesn't say "becomes the target of a spell your opponents' control" just makes it so extremely rude. I love it.
Absolutely. I was just responding to the guy who said that anybody looking for roommates is going to be a weirdo.
Or they're new to the city. Or their landlord just renovicted them. Or one of their current housemates got a job in another city. Or they broke up with their partner. Or... Or... Or... There are so many reasons beyond 'is fucked up' that somebody might be looking for a place to live.
Yeah, no. Unless your 'weird by definition' includes 'people who want to live in cities in their 20s', there are millions of perfectly normal people who live with other people they're not related to, or are looking to do the same.
Is it still Crombie? Or has she left?
Never seen an episode, or never engaged with the Simpsons at all (including seeing a meme)?
"We may in the future have an overpopulation problem if we continue to grow at X rate" And "We have an overpopulation problem" Are very different statements. If you agree completely that we don't have an overpopulation problem, then why did you claim the latter?
We have the resources to feed and shelter every person on earth. We don't have an onverpopulation problem, we have a distribution problem.
Congratulations!
Looks like it's time to buy a pack of cigarettes to share with some friends. How much could that possibly cost now, $10?
It also makes it feel very strongly that the city doesn't use 'pilot projects' to actually test and effect change, but rather as just another way to delay and avoid progress.
No, you see, prior to the Sixth Sense, she watched the Fifth Element, and will be watching the Seventh Seal next. Did you... did you not realise that these were all part of a series?
Chronicles, hands down. It was a masters set 20 years before its time. It got needed reprints into people's hands, and helped sever the connection between black border collectable pieces and white border playables. The over-reaction to it was awful, but the set itself was amazing.
Is this like double jeopardy but for immigration?
Yeah, that seems lovely.
Good luck!
Okay, thanks! I wasn't sure if it was weird, or just involved some esoteric reasoning that didn't make sense to me, a Canadian who only got as far as the LSATs before pursuing other interests.
To appeal what? The TRO that they've committed to not doing regardless of it being in place? Or do they need to object to the TRO to appeal the larger case behind it as well?
Can somebody explain this to me? If they're committing to not removing him (and presumably the 200mi restriction) then what is the point of objecting to the TRO, if it doesn't change what they're going to do?
I said great things about most of it, but also told them that I wish the story had had more time to unfold rather than being pushed at us so quickly.
Crimsom vow would have been poor selling if it had been set on Capenna or Theros as well. The problem wasn't the setting, it was the set. Setting it on Innistrad didn't force them to make it terrible, and moving it wouldn't have made it better.
Yup, exactly that.
Cowards and enablers. Ugh. Willing to throw trans kids under the bus rather than fight to protect the patients they pretend to care about. (And looking too at the gov't, who are just letting them stop treating something legal and lifesaving)
(Also worth noting that the way the Limited environments used to work back then, you'd still be drafting packs from the first set during the second and (usually) third sets Limited season, so of course they sold more.)
I mean, ish? It misses the main reason why sales went down as they stayed on a plane - the format. It was the Large-small-small setup that was the problem, not that we were telling stories over longer periods on the same plane.
