The Fine Tuning of the Universe

Barbar says...

How is this argument different from the following:

I take a shuffled deck of cards. I draw them one after another and place them face up. At the end I have arrived at a sequence that is incredibly unlikely.

Therefore, according to the logic in this video, we must have multiverses in which I deal billions of card combinations, or else there must be someone behind the scenes sorting the deck?

Extrapolating like this from a single data point (be it a card ordering, or a set of universal laws) is idiotic.

Jackie Chan - How to Do Action Comedy

newtboy says...

Do you mean 'kung fu hustle'? 'kung fu shuffle' seems to be from 2010.

Curious as to how people feel about "Kung Fu Shuffle" and "Shaolin Soccer" by Stephen Chow back in the 2000's? It fits the genre (of sorts), has comedy (although perhaps more oriental than western in sensibilities), and I've found them to be lots of fun. There's some parallels between him and Jackie, although Steven's not acted in a while.

Old man shows some major skills!

artician says...

I used to box for exercise. You won't connect every shot if you're throwing punches wildly, and he did not only that but throwing powerful hooks. Looking the movement of his body and his footwork, the guy was probably a boxer of some skill early in his life.
My boxing instructor was 80 years old when I started with him, and even at the age where he would awkwardly shuffle around the outside of the ring, once he was in, I literally could not see his hands, they moved so fucking fast.
I'm thinking once it gets drilled into you, it never really leaves.

@artician I'm not a boxer, but to me it looked like the old guy was just flailing wildly.

Willie Nelson Does A Card Trick

jimnms says...

The one I sifted is dead now and I can't find the original, but I'm pretty sure I remember the guy re-shuffling after each round. The story was a little different, but it was the same trick.

The difference being this one was done by Willie Nelson. IMO the card trick itself is shit. When you set the decks order with no shuffle at the beginning and then reset the deck order after each cut of the deck, it's not much of a trick.

When I posted a video of the same card trick everyone called it boring and downvoted it.

A New Twist on Fast Food ADS vs. REALITY

Sagemind says...

I've worked more years in the service industry than I care to admit.
I've had my share of un-user-friendly clients ream me out for things I had no control of. I've worked the long hours without sitting down, missed breaks, sore feet, no days off... etc.., etc....

BUT I always took pride in trying to do things a little better every time I did my tasks, no matter how mundane they were. And I smiled at customers, and I took my heavy breath and I shuffled on. I went out of my way for the client/customer every time.

Please don't presume to tell me I have no clue. If you chose to let your job get the better of you, then it's time to move on. I eventually did. Moved up and over. Tripled my pay and got on with life. But I never took anything out on the job, I always performed and I never pretended to think I was above the job. It's a job. And if we choose to be there, then we damn well better choose to do it well. That's called character, and responsibility.

Period.

It's clear you have never tried this form of employment?

I was a checkout person once, at the start I wanted to top the fastest average scan list they released every week, I took pride in knowing all the veggie/fruit codes for quick weighing, I pre-scanned the belt to see how I was going to pack the bags and what room I would have to put things aside etc

That lasted a little while, until my soul was drained from my body, my back started to ache quicker and quicker, my feet got blisters and one inconsiderate asshole customer after another made my day a little shittier with their stupid inane behaviour. Do you know how your fucking eggs got delivered to the store? They're going to be fine.

Well then I realised why the women working full-time was slow, didn't give a flying fuck about where she packed things and couldn't be damned learning the code for bananas. It simply didn't matter in the slightest, you're all coming back for your shitty groceries week after week, I'm getting paid all the same and my shitty day isn't going to go faster being happy than it is being miserable.

That effect only lasts 1-2 hours, no matter your attitude, packing shit for 8hrs is going to get stale. Packing shit for 8hrs a few times a week or every day, well you're constantly thinking "Would I get fired if I punched this guy? Maybe, I think I can make a solid case."

I could craft you a nice burger all the time or I can just slap together some shit your gonna shove down your greasy gob anyway. How much do I get paid again? Oh yeah, fuck all.

Oakland CA Is So Scary Even Cops Want Nothing To Do With It

artician says...

Wow. Interesting discussion going on here, and I say "interesting" because there's a lot of conflict between people who share the same vision of what society should be, but place blame for the reasons why it's not (in the context of this video) in completely different pieces from one another.
I've never posted to a thread this long before because I assume that it will get lost in the shuffle/argument/whatever, but I wanted to share how I broke the scene down and what I gathered from the video.
The fundamental problem here, which is subjective so I understand if someone doesn't agree, is that:
"most people" would not be comfortable walking down the street in this neighborhood.
"Most people" want safety, or more specifically; as much of a chance to not fear for their lives while existing.
What would remedy this? The hard rule of law? Or let it pan out as-is. The former has never stopped me from an action that society might not agree with. I don't run people over or shoot guns into the air because I believe in not hurting others, and both those actions either do, or have a decent chance to.
On the other hand, I really believe this is one step removed from a war-zone. Not to mistakenly define this scenario as a binary gradient between order or chaos, but if one group of friends became violently entangled with another group of friends, that's exactly what would result: armed, faction opposition.
Most people seem to argue over the solutions we know of, rather than the problems that exist, but it seems to me that none of those are working.
So I guess my question is: how would you make these neighborhoods "safe" for non-violent people to live in that isn't attributed to some form of government?

TDS: Minimum wage hike and the Pope denouncing Trickle Down

enoch says...

@xxovercastxx
factor in worker productivity and you get 22$.
and the ratio with just inflation alone varies from 10 something to almost 15$ an hr.

of course i was reciting that all from memory,so i could be wrong but i dont think so.that number really stuck out.

ill go shuffling through my bookmarks and see if i can find the articles for you because it was more than one.

They Might Be Giants - Minimum Wage

oohlalasassoon says...

At 4 seconds, not if you count "Who's Knocking on the Wall" from Apollo 18, but it, along with the other short tracks on that album weren't intended as songs per se.

"The liner notes, in reference to these tracks, include the message "the indexing of this disc is designed to complement the Shuffle Mode of modern CD players". According to John Flansburgh, listening to the album on shuffle made a collage of songs, with the short fingertips interspersed among tracks of regular length.

Why Are American Health Care Costs So High?

chingalera says...

Emergency services are all I care about-Bone-sets, stitches, wound care and antibiotics should be free of charge to all citizens of planet Babylon, worldwide. So should general dentistry. The machine (a type of prison) now requires that we play the societal-shuffle according to their economic rules (which are violated with impunity daily by the rule-makers) should not the slave-masters keep their labor force from breaking-down too soon?? Inmates in prisons in the United States receive free emergency and necessary dental maintenance, eh?

Russian Students AK-74 Gun Assembly/Disassembly.

Khufu says...

These weapons are designed to be easily stripped down and reassembled in the field, so it doesn't take much skill. Do it 3 or 4 times and you could do it that fast. I don't understand why they need to do this... (especially the part where they just pull the tool-kit out of the stock). is it just a manual dexterity thing for gym class? (card shuffling tricks would be harder and more impressive) Or is there a 'military skills' class in middle school?

How does he do it?

DonanFear says...

That was lame... He switches the tiles when he cuts the video. Count the tiles at 0:55 and you'll notice he has half a row more than before the cut. Same thing at 2:35 but now he has half a row less. After the shuffling he ends up with 9 rows that fit perfectly in the frame.
