Still live! Also have perfect 6 IV Eevee
So as some of you might know back in 2015 Grrm was really close to finishing Winds but then decided to scrap most of it because it wasn't perfect. If he hadn't done that and released the book sometime in 2016 we would've also probably gotten Dream at some point. Now, we might get a perfect version of Winds but it's likely gonna be at the cost of never seeing Dream.
So, provided we get Winds someday and it turns out amazing, are you glad he made that decision? Would you rather have a perfect Winds but no conclusion to ASoIaF or an imperfect conclusion to ASoIaF?
DeepMind researchers introduce Player of Games (PoG), a general-purpose algorithm that applies self-play learning, search, and game-theoretic reasoning to perfect and imperfect information games, taking an important step toward truly general algorithms for arbitrary environments.

I was just thinking…. This is what all PIMI say when you offer some criticism towards the organisation… the bible was also written by people who were also imperfect. How can you believe all the bible says when its written by imperfect people? How can you trust that the interpretation by imperfect people of gods word is true? And base your whole life, personality, morals on that?
Well just some thoughts!!!
How many times have I heard this meaningless soundbite!
I would like to know what, exactly, is the perfect bit of the organisation?
It's not the rules, many are not even Bible based, it's not the people since they are acknowledged to be imperfect, it's not the GB since some have been disfellowshipped in the past, it's not the teachings because they keep getting changed, and it's not the publications because they go out of date and get replaced.
If someone says that stupid phrase to you, ask them what, exactly, is the perfect bit of the organisation?
Seeing him move cry and wiggle around surprised me, yet I was pleased that my art was successful
In their recent cEDH tier video, Callahan and Pongo of the Mind Sculptors and Ryan of Playing with Power discussed the position of Heliod in the cEDH meta, and came to the conclusions that Heliod isn't actually a good deck - rather, me and Charles (Mono-White Guy / /u/ilvaldi of the Mind Sculptors) are just amazing players that make it look much better than it is. While I'm not so modest as to refuse the compliment (thanks guys!), Charles and I disagree with their assessment and plan to record a podcast this week about how less-then-perfect players can pilot less-than-perfect decks to success.
So why am I posting about the podcast before it's even been recorded? Well, Charles and I can both talk forever (to our mutual detriment), but we'd really prefer to focus on questions and strategies most relevant to the community and we want to know what you find hardest when it comes to piloting more "fringe" decks. So if you have any topics you'd like us to discuss, questions you have about how we prepare/practice, or you're own strategies that you think we should comment on, please post them here! We'll try to touch on as many as possible.
Hope the topic is interesting to you all and thanks in advance for your contributions!

I am curious to hear various folks views and thoughts on this (I know not all Christians view this the same)
What camp are you in?
1: Before the fall, life on this planet was perfect
-No death other than plant death (people had plants for food before the fall according to Genesis)
-No lions eating a monkey to the point only its face is intact (talk about nightmare fuel/horror)
-No parent squirrels kicking a runt out of the nest and the baby squirrel left to die on the ground with bruising on it's nose (came across this recently, it was heartbreaking)
-No ingrown nails, no stupid skin peels that keep growing back even when you rip them out
-No wars, no torture, no PTSD, no power struggles
-No decapitation due to accidents, no disease, no poverty
-No broken bones, no cancer, no sexual abuse, no murder, no need for police, firefighters, EMC, intelligence agencies
-No humans' brains making errors in thinking/logic/judgement
-No negative utilitarian choices having to be made by governments and their operatives (allowing or intentionally causing a few to suffer to reduce suffering for the many)
If you are in this camp, a few questions:
Q1: If life suddenly became a dumpster fire the moment of the fall, with animal death and predation becoming part of nature, where is the evidence in the DNA that this sudden change happened, and wolves, tigers, bears, lions, etc all suddenly around the same time developed carnivorous traits? If this sudden change happened, we would expect to find it in their DNA, and yet their is no such evidence to my knowledge. If this is any indication, life on this planet has always been a nasty place (like the second camp below)
Q2: If no humans and animals died before the fall, the implication of this is that with continual reproduction (which ostensibly God wanted and saw as good), eventually humans and animals would be squished on top of each other. Kind of absurd...
2: Before the fall, life on this planet was not perfect, and either A) has always been a house of horrors or B) it was not as bad as it is now, and the fall made it worse, and regardless of A or B, humans were ignorant of this/not burdened by it due to a lack of awareness because they had not yet ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil
-Animal, including human (biologically speaking, humans ARE animals) death has always been present. With this possibility, there were carnivores before the fall, parent squirrels kicking their young out o

Ok so while I was thinking about what starters I wanted to use in a challenge run, I was thinking about which type combinations are in a trio where each pokemon is effective against one and not effective against the other. I did ban some type combos because they either didn't have existing pokemon or only had legendaries or weird situational types (Dragon/Fairy is only acheivable by mega-altaria). The math for dual type attackers adds the effectiveness of each type against the defender (An attacker with 2 neutral types against the defender has an effectiveness of 2).
Perfect trios mean that the effectiveness of each type against the following has to be the same. Fire is just as effective against grass as grass is against water etc. I was hoping there would be dual types involved in perfect trios but unfortunately that didn't happen. Here they are:
Grass + Water + Fire
Steel + Rock + Fire
Grass + Ground + Poison
Now for the imperfect trios. The conditions here are that each pokemon must have a supereffective matchup against one and a weak matchup against the other. A dual-type attacker with 2 neutral attacks is still considered super-effective here but the defense math works just fine. (Here I made a quick change so that trios with 3 dual types are removed because it just ended up pairing various combinations of electric, ground, and flying or other types with similar mechanics). The issue still kinda happened especially with ground though. There are 6 of these and here they are sorted by the monotypes:
Psychic + Fighting + Dark
Ground + Grass + Electric/Poison
Ground + Normal/Flying + Electric/Rock
Ground + Fire/Flying + Electric/Rock
Ground + Poison/Flying + Electric/Rock
Fairy + Fire/Psychic + Dragon/Dark
Let me know if anyone is interested in knowing every single combination possible though. I can remove the banned types and combos as well as remove the dual type < 6 limit. I do intend to change the effectiveness math a little bit to make it more accurate (normalizing the dual type attacker situation). Oh and feel free to correct me if I missed a type or included the wrong ones too!
What if Honda gave everyone free cars they didn't ask for, but they required weekly maintenance at the cost of ten percent of your income and constant praise?
That's the human condition according to the Bible.
Also I love Tina Fey. Her character mispronounces the town in her podcast though and I’m starting to think it’s on purpose… I’ll let you interpret that how you want since it’s all speculation at this point.
I'm a bit confused on the best way to express past tense subjunctive situations. For example:
Es extraño que lo haya hecho (present perfect subjunctive)
Es extraño que lo hiciera (imperfect subjunctive)
Creen que un ejemplo sea mejor que el otro? Gracias por su ayuda.
"No, it doesn't."
