Very low ingredient list and, at least with my kitties, you can switch between formulas and they don’t get diarrhea etc. \n\nTypically at a petco or similar there will be a SJW of the pet food section. They will have most the info youll need. \n\nStill unsure? Ask them for samples!! You can get oodles of samples for free if you just ask. The premium pet food brands are all about sample distribution. \n\nJust FYI, when you switch from the shitty food to good food you need to do it slowly over a couple days. Good example is 75%old 25%new then 50/50, 25/75 then full switch. This is to prevent them from shitting a river of diarrhea cause the new food is gonna clean all that bullshit from their insides. \n\nBeware the high quality food labeled “wild”.

"Purina 1 is barely higher quality. If i remember correctly it's still a 2 star food. And wet food is going to be better for them but if you're still getting the grocery store food it's not going to be great. If you look at the ingredients that will tell you the most about the food. So you're looking for something where the first ingredient is actual meat, then after that as long as it doesn't have any sort of grains or other things that look like filler it should be a decent food. \n\nSource: i worked at a small pet supply shop and learned a lot about different pet foods.

Blue Buffalo is meh, Wellness is too and I found with Wellness that the cats/dogs either loved or hated it. There didn't seem to be any middle ground. \n\nGo and Now by Petcurean are fantastic foods with Go being my preference (out of any of the mentioned foods). They have another line called Gather which is aimed at a specific market. It's good quality but expensive. Their more budget line, Summit, is pretty decent too.\n\nNatural Balance was always the go to for limited ingredient but a lot of foods have come along to supersede it. It's still a good option though and I would rate it above Blue and Wellness.\n\nAnother great brand is Merrick. Their food is really good.\n\nFor wet food, Weruva has a few different lines (BFF, Truluxe, Cats In The Ktichen and more) but BFF would be the most popular.",

"I have a cat who has Feline Urinary Tract Disease. His brother is allergic to wheat. I switched to a food that while more expensive is actually turning out to be cheaper\n\n1. The cat with the allergies had the nastiest smelling shit. Worse, he was constantly vomiting, and not the kibble chunks bit liquid spew. The only vomiting has been my fuzzball female horking up hairballs.\n\n2. We were going through a box of cat litter a week at $20 bucks a pop. We had to scoop twice a day because of the rank odor. After the food change, the amount and size of their shit changed. It no longer smells like death. We scoop once a day and have only had to buy one box of litter this month. The food is more expensive by $15 dollars but we are saving about $85 a month.\n\nThe cat with FLUTD is peeing normally. He is himself again, loving ans sweet. All my cats coats have changed and become incredibly shiny. My cat who is allergic to wheat weighed between 25 to 22 lbs. He now weighs 18 lbs and is so happy.

I figure that is not what you meant but it should be chicken or beef or duck or salmon or tuna. \n\nIdeally cats should be getting wet food and not kibble, unfortunately not all cats like wet food. If you add water to kibble forget it. \n\nCats are not big drinkers which is why they should have wet food. Many will drink more with a moving water source. I got my cats a fountain and they love it. They drink considerably more water than when i was still water. (unfortunately cats can be picky and some will refuse to drink from a fountain)",

"No I didn't. And adding water to kibble is nasty. Cats should be given wet food from a can not piss ass lousy wet kibble. There is no need to water down already wet food.",
"Yeah mine are on Acana but you could also go with Fromm, Taste of the wild, or Orijin. If you go to an actual pet store then you can talk to the employees there if your cat has any specific issues they can help you with choosing a food for those. Or you could pm me and i could help you too",

We have a planetarium in town named after her, as well as a high school auditorium, and her grave is visited often, and is always full of rocks from students. She was a high school science teacher, and she took the opportunity to change the world, and to inspire her students. I'm a high school teacher now, and I think about what she wanted to do up there and her enthusiasm towards science and our counties youth. We need this again. Imagine what would have come from a successful mission. How many kids would have wanted to pursue science. The biggest tragedy to me is that the world was denied a role model. I hope one day NASA or space x can reboot the teachers in space program again to influence a much needed gap in our youth..... with me as the astronaut. ",

Then when the accident happened, we all just sat there in stunned silence until the teacher reached up and turned the TV off and a couple of people started crying. Back then, news was handled differently and we were much more insulated from the details of such horrific events usually, so this was the first big shocking event I'd ever seen with my own eyes. And then a few short month later, Chernobyl happened and that was also broadcast, so it was a very disturbing year altogether. ",

All the parents at the bus stop that day were really sad and our kindergarden teachers did the best they could to take our minds off of it and do their scheduled curriculum.

In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.\n\nOthers will follow and surely find their way home. Man's search will not be denied. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.\n\nFor every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.\n",

"On the one hand I was never THAT much of a fan of GS since about 2005 or so. The shift to pushing PO merch over new--while understandable from a business perspective--made it so you couldn't shop there without being badgered to buy a bunch of junk you didn't want or come in for. Also, no, I don't want to pre-order Madden.\n\nOn the other hand there's something to be said about the buying process when you can hold a physical copy and browse the merch, talk to an associate, or even demo one. Yes, you can probably get MORE info online through videos and downloadable trials, but it isn't the same.\n\nOn balance, unless you relish midnight release parties, I'm fine with losing them.",

If someone was a minor influential figure, and also lived to be old, I wouldn't be questioning being put on a stamp. But if any old person lived to be 100, they just get put on a stamp? Lots of jackasses live to be 100, do they also deserve a stamp even if they didn't benefit the country or help society? It just seems like an odd criteria to me if every 100 year old person gets a stamp. My grandmother will be 100 in a little over a year, she really hasn't done anything \"stamp worthy\" in her life. Not that I don't love my grandmother, but it would seem strange to put her on a stamp for simply not dying before a certain age. ",

"Sometimes I have to burn them because I get sick of looking at them.",
"Well, I've been making open ended narratives with figures (people mostly) in a realistic or surreal fashion for years. One problem at shows when trying to sell them though is that a lot of people don't want to buy a big painting with someone else in it.\n \nSo, when I started this painting I was thinking about what a fellow (more successful) painter told me he thinks about whenever making a painting; \" I always think of painting something I'd like to see right before I die.\" he said. I took at little different approach... I thought, if I were to wake up in a few hundred years, what would I want to see. I'm a nerd, so robots was on the list of things. \n \n\nOnce I had that down I started playing around with it... At first I made it more realistic, but then I thought, why not make it a little more accessible to the viewer. I was thinking about the game Cuphead and a comment by Temmie of Undertale, so I decided to go with a little more of an early cartoon style.\n \nNow I plan to do a series about this little robot. His experiences with life, death, and what it all means. The cartoon style can draw in more viewers, while the underlying open ended narrative is still there. I imagine the little robot loved a girl in a red dress. He saw the world through her eyes. When she was gone, he still lingered. Now he sees reminders of her in everything.\n \nSomething like that.",

Well, through my sister's boyfriend, anyway.\n\nSo, originally yes, banks wouldn't touch dispensary money and even now the majority won't because if they operate across state lines they run into that whole 'illegal federally' bit. However, as with any opportunity to make money, small intra-state banks have begun to pop up. They only operate within the state itself, limiting the federal responsibility. This is what my sister's bf does, he creates accounts for companies and basically 'cleans' the money through local interests so it can be used for other things.

They learn to speak confidently to customers, stand on their feet for a booth shift, accurately describe their products, handle money, and make change. The troop also receives a certain amount of profit directly, so the girls get to vote on or negotiate what they want to do with that money as a group- camping trip, pizza party, bowling, water park, etc. And the Girl Scouts I know aren’t selfish- they also use part of their cookie profits for service projects, such as helping an animal shelter or doing a service project for an elder care home. \n\nI always try to talk with people when I hear cynical views on the cookie program.

Again, I don't deal with bitcoin payments, but as a programmer, I know enough about how bitcoin works to know that it would be a major security risk to force every transaction to happen \"live\". Why? Because bitcoin transactions are irreversible and take forever to process. All it would take is one scammer/hacker to steal those bitcoins, and they'd be gone forever.\n\nInstead of making bitcoin purchases live- cloud based services like coinbase emulate a bank by crediting your bitcoin account with a \"fake\" balance that updates immediately. This works because technically you *can* withdraw these bitcoins into your USD bank account- it just takes a week or two for you to actually receive your funds because in the bitcoin world, it's better to be safe than sorry.\n\nIf you're a seller, this isn't a problem. Bitcoin transactions can take forever to actually happen, and as long as your money does eventually arrive, it doesn't matter if transactions take forever inside your internal queue, as long as your \"virtual numbers\" look instant to the consumer.\n\nThat's why I speculate that bitcoin transactions are probably grouped into chunks unrelated to specific transaction amounts, because it makes no sense to process a queue that way.",
"The Girl Scouts is put together, not for the benefit of the Girl but to make money for the company. There is little left in the Girl Scouts that actually benefit the girls. It is a way for companies to circumvent child labor laws and still make money. \n \nThe Head of the Girl Scouts, the CEO makes 6 figures annually, she actually makes almost $400 THOUSAND a year. That is the CEO, as in a business which is exactly what it is, a business. \n \nThat business has allowed several companies to sell stuff that has the Girl Scouts stamp on it, including E-Z-Bake ovens, Cookies, cereal and more. Do you think the girls in any troop will be seeing the profits of these sales? NO, absolutely not. \n \nThe cookies are made and shipped by 2 different baking companies, Little Brownie Baking Co, and ABC Bakers (Interbake). They charge different for the cookies based on the location, some places like Orange County, CA pay more for their cookies than their neighboring counties. The sales of the cookies are treated just like a company (which is good) but the girls themselves get $.35 - $.65 for each box sold. The amount depends if the girls decide to get the bullshit prizes or not. \n \nIf the \"cupboards\" (the place where you pick up the cookies) screws up and gives your troop too many cookies, it's not their issue, it's the troops to sell them, the council doesn't care. The troops have to transfer them to other troops or sell them. The council doesn't care if the troops cannot sell them, they still get their money either way. If a troop cannot sell the cookies \"because they ordered too many\" or if the cupboard decided to \"accidentally\" double their order, it's not the councils issue, it's the troops. All money for those cookies will be taken out of the troops profits or the troop leader themselves will have to shell out the money to cover it. There is no giving extra cases back to the council to get them to another troop that needs them. It's up to the troop to contact other troops to see if anyone needs any. \n \nOn top of this, the girls only thing they really get out of this, is selling at these booths. Most councils don't even allow the girls to go door to door anymore unless they do it with the entire (most of) troop as well as 1+ chaperone(s). They state its not safe anymore (like it ever was) for the girls to be out selling door to door. On top of this, most cookies now days are sold by the parents at their work or to friends and family anyway and not by the actual girls. In the troop my daughter is in, most of the selling is done by the parents while the girls sit around and have soft core porno shoots? (IDK what to call them). They girls are all in middle/high school and most (not all) of them dress like little tramps and then go around sitting on each other and hugging and kissing (nothing too graphic just playing around no tongues). My point is, the girls sit around doing nothing while the parents do all the work. The girls get very little from the Girl Scouts now days and the little they do is ALMOST not worth them joining. \n \nWhile the Girl Scouts does have it's positives, I have so many issues with the Girl scouts which is why this is my daughters last year in it. She only remains because my ex insists she goes so my ex can continue to sell these cookies. I have no idea what her fascination with them is. \n \nIt seems as if the people who make up and run the Girl Scouts have lost their way and what is important, and have, like with everything else, turned a way to help girls grow up into wonderful women into a business that doesn't give a shit about who made it up.",

We dealt with every council that dealt with a specific baking company.

Some councils refuse to approve individual troop locations, some councils allow it. Once allowed, some councils will open it to all troops, others allow only that troop there.",

"Funny enough, that's what the parents said when I brought it up. It was the first time I was at a meeting for that specific troop. My ex normally takes her, not me since I'm not a fan of the GS. I sat outside and waited while she was in the meeting and about half way through I got bored and walked in and found all the parents sitting around doing all the work, all the planning, deciding who needs to bring in what and when and who needs to drag their girl along to what event. Then I look over and see roughly, 6 of the 12 or so girls all sitting on each other, riding cowgirl or sidesaddle and they were all kissing, hugging and groping (i'm sorry, fixing each others breasts because they are lopsided) each other. The 6 who were participating in this, were all dressed like, well, tramps. Wearing pants but their ass cheeks hanging out, low cut tops without bras and with their tits almost hanging out. I asked WTF is this? a porno shoot? All the parents turned and looked at me and then we almost got into a fight over it. They thought I was calling their daughters whores and such. After pointing out that the Girl Scouts would never approve of the way these girls were dressed, I eventually left after a few minutes and sat in my car until my daughter came out after the meeting. Afterwards they had a few choice words with my ex who told them I'll be the one attending from now on. That was the last day the girls came in dressed like that and no one has said a word to me about it since. I got tons of bad looks for weeks after and this year its actually not too bad but I can't wait for it to end.",

This is the face of the future, dispensaries, and not a swat team at your door, trigger happy narcisists killing young men and innocent bystanders, or shooting up a car full of young black men with a little smoke coming out. As for the Girl Scouts selling outside of dispensaries, they get capitalism, make some cookies and the people will come. I am so looking forward to the end of prohabition of cannabis.

If you want to shoot yourself in the foot, non elected people, try and sell shitty cannabis, and see who will lose out, you or the corner dealer with over 25%THC.

While I don't know for sure, I wouldn't be surprised if there is something disallowing the Girl Scouts behavior here. But don't start thinking these places aren't safe. They have more surveillance than you can shake a stick at and are, in general, well lit and fairly safe. Stoners aren't the danger, it's the drunks, psychos, and Republicans.",
"It's not illegal to launder money if you don't commit fraud. It's still money laundering.",
"This is how our council works, too. We have a \"do not call\" list of businesses that the council has already spoken to on behalf of all the girls and those businesses either let us do a lottery for booth space/time or they don't let us sell there at all. \n\nAny other business is fair game as long as there is permission given to the troop by the owners of the business.

"I think it's more the nostalgia of having either sold them as a kid, yourself, or eating them as a kid when your parents bought some.

"If only your kids could see how you handle being a pathetic old man on Reddit. They'd be embarrassed. As well as your wife. ",
"Actually, the real difference is that one is a place that is meant for adults, and the other is one where everyone goes. Also, it's the whole notion that marijuana is fun...\"hey kids, people get the munchies when they're high!\"...aspect of it. \n\nTo use your analogy, if kids outside of a liquor store were selling beer coozies and bottle openers, would that be kosher?\n\nListen, I get that reddit skews young.

Kindly fuck off since you don't contribute anything to this world besides producing inbred children. Have a nice life you geriatric fuck ",
"One more piece of advice...don't try to make a living as either a writer or a comedian. And lay off the bong. It's seriously affecting you.",
"You assume that their parents haven't discussed marijuana with them. I see parents teaching children to see a market/demand and profiting. I would say it immerses children in the reality of marijuana... remove the mystique and \"cool\" factor, I see nowhere that is glamarizing weed.",
"OK so again, I'll ask this.\n\nTake 9 year olds to a strip club around 7pm on Friday night, set up a table w/ roses, and sell them at a dollar each. Cool w/ you?",
"Having never been to a strip club I am not sure why anyone would sell anything outside one. I also don't usually see a strip club in a shopping center where this appears to be. My point isnt to say that kids should be \"educated\" about marijuana, my point is that there isn't anything wrong with educating children about a substance they will inevitably encounter. Also I wouldn't be surprised if it was a child's idea in the first place, because no small amount of children's entertainers and content providers make jokes about \"munchies\" quite frequently, this seems to me exactly the idea a industrious child would make.",
"Now take your first sentence, and sub in \"marijuana store\" for \"strip club.\" What's the difference?",
"I'm not sure what your obsession with strip club is. If for some reason people who go to strip clubs really crave roses and my Child was trying to sell roses to make money for charity or some worthwhile organization, sure I honestly don't see a problem with that as long as it's clean and safe... I really don't get your hangup with the outside of storefronts, last I checked both strip clubs and recreational/medical Marijuana shops are both required by law not to allow products to be visible from the outside, so esentially I see your argument as not wanting to have an open and honest conversation about absolutely natural things (nudity/marijuana). Just my opinion though... different strokes for different folks.",
"I'm not obsessed with strip clubs, but if you don't like that, then sub in \"coin purses\" for cookies and \"casino\" for pot store.\n\nIf you can't see that it's not a good idea to take a bunch of little kids to an adult establishment to sell stuff, then yeah, I guess it's a difference of opinion. I have a feeling you might change your mind once you actually are in the position where this could happen in your life, though.",
"Never said it wasn't safe. It isn't age appropriate. Just like standing outside of a tobacco store is not appropriate. I have no interest in educating myself because I have no interest in marijuana or the marijuana industry. What and where Girl Scouts are allowed to sell is dictated by their local counsel which is ultimately governed by the laws of the Girl Scouts of the USA. Also, nowhere did I say stoners were a danger, but again, not appropriate for 5-12 year olds to hang outside of establishments geared toward adults."

When two people have a child, that child has a mix of their genes. They can be passed down or not; they can be shown or not; they can be overridden by one person with a dominant gene; they can be the gene that shows a trait by overriding another. \n\nIt turns out that a part of genetics isn't just saying \"This gene __ shows trait __.\", but genetics is also the study of \"If dad has the trait __, then __ is the probability of a child also showing this trait.\"\n\nThe science *is* exact in giving those probabilities, and thus is an exact science. \n\nI understand what you're saying... \"Statistics isn't exact because it can't predict a coin flip\".

One idea in deterministic vs probabilistic argument became known as the [EPR paradox](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_paradox).\n\nAt this point I have to let you know that you're wrong. Hidden variables are disproved by performing some experiments and comparing the results you see with the expected statistics. Turns out that we see results that disprove hidden variables - quantum mechanics really is entirely probabilistic. You can read up on [Bell's Theorem](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem) to see why. ",

See [Bell's Theorem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem) and [Bell Inequalities](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_test_experiments).\n\nThe tldr is that having local hidden variables (i.e. that quantum mechanics is actually deterministic) would have a measurable difference, and that difference leads to an inequality. Measurements have determined that local hidden variables are not present, and that quantum mechanics is *truly random.*\n\nThat's not to say it is definitively true (you can never be *truly certain* in science), but proving Bell's theorem wrong is quite a demanding task.",

"Er, no. Former physicist here. Your statement is equivalent to saying everything has a hidden variable associated with it hat would allow us to predict what state a wave function will collapse into if the value is known. It's not a bad idea, and had many proponents in the fifties. \n\nUnfortunately, Bell's theorem makes strong predictions of what experiments would look like if that were true, and seventy years of ever more stringent experiments have conclusively demonstrated that these predictions (specifically, hard limits on values of photon-photon entanglement or neutron-neutron spin correlation) are consistently violated. This implies it's not possible that quantum mechanics is deterministic*\n\n*Strictly speaking, Bell's theorem assumes superluminal information transfer isn't possible. If that is true, all bets are off. But, of course, in order for that to be true, relativity would have to be spectacularly wrong, so really, it's immensely unlikely.\n\nSource: Did research + built lasers, which are a good source of entangled photons + you can actually do the Bell's theorem violating experiment at home with a demo kit! Had to do it as part of my undergrad years. \n\nAlso... the original commenter isn't wrong, just phrasing it clumsily. Genetics has many interactions, and calculating the outcome of those interactions is immensely computationally expensive (really, take a look at computation times for models of protein folding alone). The best we can do is simplify the model, which leaves out possible interaction effects (but that's okay, because we assume those are too small to make a difference anyway).",

Depending on where you knock a block out depends on how far you can climb. So if you knock out the bottom step youre going nowhere and you remain short, if you have all the steps you grow really tall. \n\nSo lets say your dad was missing the first gene and had all the others, and your mom had that first gene and maybe missing a couple others so shes a regular height. So when the birds and bees yadda yadda yadda and the egg and sperm that became you came together, the combined cell chose the good first gene from your mom, and the rest of the freekishly tall genes from your dad.

Ironically, HGH doesn't actually work as a performance enhancing drug, however. Apparently, exogenous HGH only helps if you are below a certain level within a normal range, anything more doesn't do anything. I am unsure, however, if even in a deficient individual taking HGH would help after puberty. When people are treated for HGH deficiency, the treatments are terminated when puberty ends because it is no longer effective and adults need very little HGH to function normally.\n\nThere are number of interesting papers about HGH as a PED showing it doesn't work (I don't study sports medicine but am just interested in the topic). The popular explanation for why athletes continue to use the substance despite it not being shown to help in controlled studies, is because they rarely take it alone, but rather with a cocktail of other substances that do work. They don't know what is giving them what benefit, but if the cocktail works they just stick with it. ",

Like if we flip a coin we know it will be either heads, tails, or maybe land on its side. It won't explode and start singing a Bowie song, because that is outside of it's inherent capabilities. And if that wasn't outside of it's capabilities, then we could use science to eventually determine what made it do that. \n\nBut what you're saying seems to imply that we can't ultimately be sure of anything no matter how much science and knowledge and thought we gather on a subject.

"Sorry, let me explain with the knowledge I have from college biology courses. Your mother and father have similar DNA on all of their chromosomes except for the X/Y chromosomes, which differ in the expression and repression of genes for testosterone and estrogen production, as well as other sex related genes. It is believed the genes for height are located on autosomes (non X/Y chromosomes), which both parents have an equal amount of. Let's say your mom has genes for being very tall, but because of low testosterone and other traits as a consequence of being female, she only reaches 5'10\". And let's say your dad has genes for being short and reaches 5'6\". You have an 50/50 chance of inheriting each height gene from each of your parents. So if you received most of your height genes from your dad by pure chance, you might only be around 5'7\" if you are a male.",

I am not at all qualified to say any of this though. Just read a shitton of books and was curious and blah blah blah. Not to even bring whose genes you got.

"> If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that literally everything is random?\n\nIt means that literally everything is *probabilistic*, and the distinction is important. Given some set of initial conditions, there is a limited set of possible outcomes (the set can actually be infinite, but an infinite set of possibilities doesn't necessarily have to include every possible outcome you can imagine). If you flip a coin, it won't explode and start singing a Bowie song, because that would violate all kinds of laws of physics. Some outcomes can also be more likely than others, and in ideal circumstances, it is even possible to engineer a state with only one possible outcome, which is as close to deterministic as quantum mechanics gets.\n\nAll of this information about what can happen, and how likely each possible outcome is, is incorporated into the wave function of the system, and the rules that determine how wave functions evolve over time.\n\nTL;DR It's random in the sense that there might be a 49% chance to be heads, 49% to be tails, and 2% chance to land on its side, and no matter how precisely you flip the coin you can never predict ahead of time which of those three outcomes will happen for a given coin toss. All you can say is that if you flip a lot of identical coins in identical fashions, about 2/100 will land on their sides and the rest will be split evenly between heads and tails. Exploding and singing a Bowie song is not a possible outcome, and so it doesn't occur.",

But if we look at spontaneous collapse models, where the indeterminism is explicit in a stochastic extra term on Schrödinger equation (I'm referring mainly to the GRW theory) then it isn't.\n\nAnd about the wave function collapse, it means that something not well understood happens when a system interact with another one which posses much more degree of freedom, it doesn't mean that something non deterministic happens. **Otherwise quantum mechanics would be self contradictory**:\n\n1. If I take the wave function of the system (system I want to measure + rest of the universe) and use schrodinger the evolution will be deterministic.\n\n2. If I just take the subsystem (system I want to measure) and use the wave function collapse the evolution would seem undeterministic!\n\nBut if we look at bells inequalities and the free will theorem then\nthose two point to the fact that the observations of experiments we have already made of quantum systems are incompatible with a number of things you would like to believe, **each of which is connected to the vague meanings of determinism**\n\n**Bell's Inequalities pretty much force us to abandon at least one of the following to conceptions of the world**:\n\n1. Realism, meaning that particles can be assigned a definite state at any given time (also called hidden variables).\n\n2. Locality, meaning that information propagates at a maximum velocity (relativistic causality).\n\nThus if you want the universe to have a definite state at each point in time, you have to accept superluminal effects (\"spooky action at a distance\"), if you want relativistic causality, you will have to accept that the state of the universe is uncertain at some times. You cannot have both.\n\nThe free will theorem says something quite similar, and although, a bit more abstract, I think it provides a stronger logical basis for what I just discussed above.\n\nEDIT: Physics is a mind fuck and we're probably living in a simulation :--)\n\nEDIT2: If any of you are interested in reading about The Free Will Theorem (by Dr. Conway professor of mathematics at Princeton) this is a good link. It is a tad technical: http://www.ams.org/notices/200902/rtx090200226p.pdf",

However, you're absolutely right.\n\nUsing the same reasoning as some of the people who answered, speed of an aircraft can be said to be probabilistic. The same aircraft making the same trip twice, even on autopilot, is not going to have an identical speed throughout the route. However, it's not some random roulette wheel deciding the outcomes, it's wind speed, air density, temperature, and a million other factors which are hard to pin down.\n\nJust because we'll never be able to determine 100% of the factors doesn't mean we can't pretty accurately calculate the predicted speed of an aircraft. It's a simpler system than an organism and we've learned the factors that account for 99.9% of the measured results.\n\nIn genetics, we just haven't put together an accurate enough formula yet. We only relatively recently learned the significance of epigenetics, and the enzymes responsible for specific gene expression.

I find it hard to believe he didn't expect speculation and even geneticists to weigh in on a post with \"genetics\" right in the title. Maybe he posted the picture wondering if maybe a geneticist would say, \"Sorry but that is impossible.\" Maybe all the people in here claiming to be geneticists are doing him a disservice by coddling him and going \"Oh yeah...uh...I'm sure there are some tall genes somewhere in all those short relatives of yours so this isn't awkward at all....\"\n\nIf he has any tall relatives all he has to do is say so and there would be at least some explanation.

"Good question! The answer is nuanced, so the bullet point summary first:\n\n1. Science shows us there are _mechanistic_ reasons for why things occur. This is not the same as a _fundamental_ reason: we only know the rate at which two charges attract each other, not why they attract at all in the first place. We will always be in the dark about _why_ questions - epistemology has not yet arrived and probably will never arrive at a sure technique for such things. (But that's okay! There is still a lot of cool stuff to be gleaned from mechanistic exploration alone!). \n\nSo, yes, in that fundamental sense, things occur without any _known_ cause or reason; they just are. All we can do is try to model it and trust our models work. Which is another hairy nest, because...\n\n2. Science does not have the ability to verify a theory. If I claimed there was an invisible, weightless, undetectable pink dragon that moved everything in the universe in _just_ such a way as to produce the same results we observe in a lab, there's no way to say I'm wrong - my theory can't be falsified, which is the only real weapon we have in the arsenal of logic. We can never be sure of anything, not even that our theories will be right the next time we run the same experiment (this is Hume's problem of induction).\n\nThis is not a bad thing, though! When you read explanations of why things happen, you are reading the scarred veteran remains of an idea that has been hammered and pounded within an inch of its life with the battering ram of falsification and attempts to take its life. Every model we have had has been reworked, refined, and rewritten to try and accomodate novel phenomena, unexpected discrepancies, and the mutant children of failed bastard concepts that could not live up to the scrutiny of experiment but whose progeny did. Anything that supplants an existing idea has to both explain new results as well as explain why attempts to falsify the older theory in the past failed - this reduces the chances that we're on the wrong track entirely, and gives us confidence in our explanations as being useful (if not necessarily correct!) \n\nWe may never know why things happen the way they do, but we know damn well how to make things happen the way _we_ want them to. And that, really, is the whole point: science's job is not to be correct (that is impossible), it is to be _consistent_ with the real world. \n\n3. It's okay to accept the turtle stands on nothing but thin air at some point. To get from quantum chromodynamics to the way your lungs move when you breathe is eight to nine layers of conceptual abstraction and theories built on top of other theories. When you can explain something to that depth and complexity, and can trust they've been tested and work, it's good enough to use. \n\nI hope that answers your questions and reassures you a little. Feel free to DM me if you have more! ",

"Genetics would not be possible without quantum mechanics, but effects you'd typically consider quantum mechanical rather than classical usually don't occur at the scale genetics takes place in.*\n\nQuantum mechanics dictates how chemical bonding works between ato.s, but genetics is about how proteins are organised into genes. To give you perspective, one gram of a protein would have on the order of 10^26 atoms, give or take. By that point, quantum mechanics is effectively good old classical mechanics thanks to the averaging out over so many atoms, and you can apply high school chemistry without fear.\n\n* I say usually because I am neither a geneticist, a biologist, or an evolutionary biologist. Quantum mechanical effects such as tunneling do occur at those scales - in fact, flash drives work because of tunneling, and a flash drive's circuits are at least on the same order of magnitude as hair (approximately a few microns thick) - but those are because we've induced those effects deliberately.

"There are lots of individuals that never go on to reproduce in many species of animals. That doesn't mean it's as simple as they decided not to pass on their genes. \n\nBut in your example (a childless couple), just the fact they are a couple is proof sex/procreation drives their lives. If they were voluntarily single and refused to have sex, that would be evidence your suggestion. But be the grace of drugs and latex, they are able to have SEX, which is our basic driving life force without having children. Sadly, Their genes are not passed on and generally those types of individuals die out. This is evolution. \n\nHowever, there are cases in Asia where there are other \"genders\" that don't tend to reproduce. Be it asexual or whatever you want to call it, these third genders often live in large familial communities and help raise children of their parents and siblings, helping pass on their genes indirectly. Thus, they are essentially helping ensure a larger number of offspring with shared genes survive by filling a \"helper\" role. This is a theory for why gay people exist. Pretty fascinating shit, right?\n\nSorry I don't want to argue this really, it's just I literally study evolution for a living. I think you may be confusing your own personal experiences and anecdotal evidence with the larger evolutionary theory. Once you read about various examples of how passing genes can occur, you start to realize how many of your actions are motivated by it. Simple things like opening doors for people or learning to play an instrument could be argued come down to sexual selection. ",

(Not 😜) 😂 I’m glad there’s a lot of love for short men to tall women relationships, but this is my own experience, so you can downvote it, but it doesn’t take away the experience. The experience I had with my shorter boyfriend is because I believe he is such a gentle, sweet and non-aggressive person that alpha males and jerks can pick up on that and take advantage of his passive demeanor and I think height does his play into this for them. I’m glad there are different experiences than mine of those feeling safe around shorter men. My husband saved my life once when I was pregnant in the ocean and was out snorkeling, became fatigued and started to panic. He brought me in and saved my life and our baby’s life that day. This along with the fact that he has old fashioned manners, is super loving and protective (he walks on the side of the sidewalk with traffic to get run over by a car first), makes me feel safe whenever we are out or traveling. To me, him being a big guy is an important part of my feeling safe everywhere I go with him, compared to when I’m not with him. BTW I’ve traveled all over the world by myself, so I’m definitely not sheltered. I guess I just feel really lucky that I found someone who makes me feel so safe and loved.

Now, in general this is a moderately high salary and you would expect that someone in that age range earning that much is highly likely to have at least a Bachelor's degree. But when you start narrowing down the options by education level, here's what you get:\n\nAll education levels: 3,151,656 \nLess postgraduate: 2,773,457 (Postgraduate share = 12%) \nLess bachelor’s: 2,143,126 (Bachelor’s share = 32%) \nLess some college: 1,260,662 (Some college share = 60%) \nLess high school: 252,132 (below high school = 8%) \n\nThese percentages correspond very closely to the percentage of the general US population having that education level. But someone earning >$75k is not indicative of the general population - they're probably much more educated. The same should go throughout - a lot of the aspects asked about on the form correlate with each other to some extent. (By the way, roughly the same percentages hold when you compare the \"in a relationship\" vs. not question - so it's not that all the lesser educated women making a lot have a high salary just because they're married to someone making a lot.)\n\nIn other words, if the result you got sounds incredibly low or rare, you're probably right that the thing is underestimating how many of your type are out there.

In order to be a little person, regardless of your height, you must also have a condition or disorder that has caused the short stature.

The conversation has progressed, but you’re still stuck thinking that I said genes 100% determine height, which is not what I said, ever.\n\nI said height itself is 100% deterministic. It’s determined by both your genes and your environment. If you were able to go back in time to when you were conceived, when the sperm fertilized the egg, and ran the entire universe again from that point, you would grow up to become the same height you are today. Because you would get the same genes and you would live in the same environment, and all the same forces that determined your height would act in the same way they did the first time. That’s determinism.\n\nThe exact result is unpredictable because we don’t know all the forces acting on height and even if we did we don’t have the technology to measure it.\n\nSo, to finish the thought from the first sentence in this post, the *result*, or rather our predictions of the result, are given in probabilities because that’s the best we can do. But the *process* that leads to the final result is not probabilistic, it’s entirely deterministic. ",

If you aren't dating online, you don't come across quite as many people, say 50 in a year. Of those 50, 20 are decent to potentially date and 30 are terrible people to date. But now you enter online dating where it's easy to come across at least 500 in the same amount of time (and if living in a really populated area, that number is vastly under-estimated). That same 60-40 ratio still holds though, so of the 500, 300 seem terrible and 200 are decent. The ratio of terrible to good daters still exists, but just because of the sheer volume of coming across large numbers of people, it seems like there's a lot more terrible people when in reality it's the same percentage of terrible people that you meet offline and dating.\n\n*I'm making up the 60%/40% numbers. For all I know, it's 90% terrible or 20% terrible. The point is though you run across the same percentage of terrible people offline dating as you do an online dating.

"I used to work with this older guy named Frank. Frank was just a hair over 5ft tall but the man was a fucking expert in EVERYTHING. I worked for a rafting company and pretty much anything that happened, ever, Frank could fix it. Need to patch a particularly tricky tear on a raft and the shop boys are apparently retarded? Franks got it. Van 5 isn't running and when it *does* run the A/C doesn't work? Frank will have it back to you in 20 minutes. Blew a tire out during a shuttle but don't have a spare? Frank apparently carries a hundred spares in all sizes for this situation. Phone in the warehouse stopped working? Frank can do it. Our crazy 25ft tall rotating life vest storage machine broke down? Oh Frank actually built that so just have him do it. Plumbing problems? No need to even ask what the problem is, just go get Frank. \n\nThe farm that is located 10 minutes from us has some broken down farm equipment, frank is just gonna fix all of that on his lunch break. \n\n\nI'd also like to add that he was a multi-year state champion in Archery, and was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. [Edit: oh and he owns two small planes of his own to use during leisure time. Of course.] He also is a real estate agent and a plumber. When he's not doing any of those things, this 65 year old dude is rock climbing or fucking skydiving. At work we used to joke (not really a joke) that if Frank ever dies the company would go under. \n\n\nAnd his wife is a *babe.*\n\n\nSo basically if you're a short guy, just become an expert in everything and no one will care how tall you are. EZ PZ. \n\n\nEdit: also I once (kind of accidentally, kind of not) saw a copy of his pay stub in the HR directors office while I was using the postage meter. The man was only making 3 dollars more than me, *and I am the idiot that occasionally trips over the step at the front door that has been there for 5 years*. That isn't really related to his height or my story at all but that kinda blew my mind. He was SO essential to the company, they really couldn't bump him up to $20/hr?! ",

I know it won't help at all really. idk.\n\nAlso, just a theory I have and would like an opinion on: \n\nWhen a bodybuilder uses HGH, most of it is absorbed by the organs, due to them being soft muscle, they are performing work and have much more electrical signals going to them, especially the intestines, they are an organ that is literally ALWAYS working, not ALWAYS, but in a pro bodybuilder who eats 4-10k calories a day, it definitely is. \n\nMy theory is that HGH is probably a horrible idea for any bodybuilder who is eating at least twice the recommended dietary intake of calories, their organs are just performing too much work, they would begin atrophying, it is likely HGH would be utilized by these organs to create more cells. Even though, as you stated, tests were done showing HGH supplementation was pretty useless, they haven't tested this on a world class strongman/bodybuilder who is 300lbs+ eating 5k+ calories a day. \n\nA person eating normally wouldn't have nearly as much intestinal peristalsis as a bodybuilder/strongman who is literally consuming enough to feed a bear. \n\n\nAnyway, I don't know if I will get an answer but I would really appreciate some input, thank you. c:\n\n",

"There are a variety of reasons for that. \n\n**1.** The most important is that Siberians invaded northeast Europe, bringing Uralic languages and the N haplogroup with them. You can see their DNA in modern Finns, Sami, Russians, Scandinavians, etc. They managed to spread the language to Finland, Estonia, Hungary, and some parts of Russia. \n\nIf you translate the word \"slave\" in Finnish, you end up with \"orja\", or arya, or aryan. The Estonian word for bondwoman is \"orjatar\". Indoeuropean languages have a tendency to use this word to denote themselves: arya, Iran, aristocracy, etc. \n\n**2.** Ancient northern Europeans had morphological, autosomal, and haplogroup affinities to Asians. \n\nMorphologically, modern north Europeans tend to have less facial hair, wider/bigger heads, etc. compared to Middle Easterners (south Europeans are just a hybrid of the two). \n\nAutosomally, the pure European component is [eastern shifted](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fw1LU3Ln7oM/TuYW3xfUu6I/AAAAAAAAEW0/hdBpE8PV7Jg/s1600/1_2.png) compared to other \"western\" ancestries. \n\nHaplogroups: the oldest hunters from Europe were of the C male haplogroup, which is common in Siberia/Arctic/Central Asia. It is now extinct in Europe because of rape, basically. The newer hunters were of haplogroup I, which is essentially Middle Eastern-related. \n\n**3.** I would put EDAR here. EDAR controls breast size, hair thickness, and earwax quality. It is exceptionally rare in today's euros, but exists in Finns (Siberian admixture). Certainly exists in Sami as well, though idk at what rate. \n\n",

"Quantum mechanics (and more specifically quantum field theory) is the single most precisely upheld scientific model that humanity has ever created. Dozens of experiments have tested this very concept, and unless we're *extremely wrong*, then the universe is a fundamentally probabilistic one. I'm not talking about how Newton was wrong, and how his ideas were supplanted by general relativity and quantum mechanics, refining on previous knowledge to make it consistent with bigger and smaller scales, respectively. QM and GR both reduce to Newtonian mechanics at the appropriate limits, so they should be considered refinements rather than replacements.\n\nFor this to be wrong, it basically means throwing everything out. The statistical nature of quantum mechanics so so intrinsically baked in, you can't just go tweaking things to add determinism back in without completely breaking the model. Of course, that could be the case, and we could've just been extraordinarily lucky to have constructed a model so successful, so precise, and so widely applicable, that is able to explain almost every single phenomenon that you have ever experienced in your life, but is actually totally wrong. Possible, but extremely unlikely. It's more likely that the universe is just stranger than people tend to give it credit for. It's hard for people to accept, but there is no reason why the universe needs to make intuitive sense to us at scales that humans never experience. Expecting that our intuition should apply at scales very different from the human scale is a naive assumption - an assumption that finally fell at the turn of the 20th century, when common sense stopped working.\n\n**It's worth mentioning the caveat: there is one loophole. The universe could, in fact, be deterministic if it is not \"local.\" Local means that information can only travel at the speed of light, and is widely believed to be the case, and there is no experimental evidence to the contrary. It is very hard (and possibly impossible) to construct a theory that is deterministic, nonlocal, reproduces the (verified) predictions of quantum field theory, and also consistent with special relativity. So while that technically remains a possibility, it seems unlikely, and frankly replaces one very weird feature (a probabilistic universe) with an equally weird one (a universe where everything in the universe affects the entirety of the rest of the universe instantly).\n\n***There is actually one additional loophole, called [superdeterminism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdeterminism). This has problems of its own, but technically could be true. In fact, superdeterminism can never be proven wrong, so while it could be true, it isn't really a scientific concept. Fascinating to think on, though!\n\nTL;DR If the universe is not probabilistic, then it is equally or even more bizarre in other ways. The universe definitely is far stranger than the human experience can detect.\n\n>Just because we can't predict it perfectly doesn't mean there is not a perfect answer. Right?\n\nNo, it's not that we can't predict it perfectly. It's that the outcome cannot be predicted. It is not a technological limitation, nor a limitation of knowledge. It is a fundamental property of reality that can never be overcome, not even in principle.",

"> Can you give an example of this. Like does QM explain why I ate ice-cream this morning instead of cereal? (or does that not cover 'almost' everything). That may be good way to dumb this down.\n\nIn principle, maybe. We don't understand a system as complex as the human body, let alone the phenomenon of consciousness, well enough to be able to say for sure, though. However, it explains why ice feels smooth, why tree bark is rough, it explains the physical properties of ice cream, why you don't fall through chairs when you sit on them, it explains why things smell and how smell works, why some liquids are viscous and others are not, it explains why the elements and molecules made from them behave the way they do, why the stars twinkle at night, and the list goes on and on. \n\n>But honestly I find it easier to accept that there's some weird things we don't know about time or whatever than accept that pure randomness is dictating the universe (because that seems to be what you're talking about: pure, but limited, randomness).\n\nThe wonderful, and sometimes daunting, thing about science is that it doesn't really matter what we \"feel\" or what we like, or what makes us comfortable. Science is the attempt to understand the universe with as little bias as possible. It might make more sense to you for the universe to violate causality (I'm not sure how, though), but it makes a lot more sense to the vast majority of people who have ever studied this topic in depth that the universe is causal, but probabilistic. And, ultimately, we have a very good local probabilistic model of the universe, and we don't have a good nonlocal deterministic model. That means that right now, today, and at least for the near future, the probabilistic description of the universe is the best one we've got. And the only way for it to be dethroned is if the universe is, in fact, not local. It's possible that's the case, but don't hold your breath. The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you, or anyone; it simply is the way it is and all we can do is try our best to keep an open mind, even when our measurements are hard to comprehend.\n\n>By the way, doesn't this probabilistic theory also have to apply to humans choice too, and thus mean all human behaviour and action is based on \"limited randomness\"? It seems like probabilistic theory presumes there is no free will, same as the determinist.\n\nThe nature of the universe, whether probabilistic, deterministic or otherwise, has major implications about free will. The concept of free will is in some ways incompatible with any universe governed by rules and causality. If I can arbitrarily make a choice to do something, then in a causal universe there must have been a cause; in which case the choice was hardly arbitrary. It's entirely possible that free will is an illusion, and that our actions are actually determined (whether deterministically or probabilistically) by the complex electrical and chemical signals in our body and our interactions with the environment around us. \n\nOn the other hand, if people are actually able to make choices and affect the world in ways that are divorced from any prior environmental cause or stimulus, then our actions exist outside the realm of empirical science and would necessarily violate the rules of physics.\n\nIt's a really thorny and fascinating philosophical and ethical question! I personally think that free will is an illusion, but I \"choose\" to live my life as if it were real. Obviously, and a little ironically, if my belief is right then that's not really a choice...",

"And lo, the Truth was revealed unto Kassiddee. Such was the glory and the wonder that was imparted that the cosmos was torn asunder. At One with the Truth and having surpassed belief, she rose her physical self above Rock Squad. \n\nMadison recanted her earlier description of Kassiddee's makeup as \"basic\" when she discovered that it was the glow of the Universe radiating from her face. But in that moment she was forever cursed to always have her hair in her face in a totally unflattering way whenever a picture was taken. The Prophetess did forgive her later, saying \"Whatever, Madison was like, ugh.\"\n\nCassidy M shouted \"Yay, this was not what we practiced. You are going to get us banned.\" But banned they were not. For the judges themselves knew that they were unworthy to cast Rock Squad from competition, despite the screeching pleas of the Unchosen.\n\nMaddy D reached forth and grasped the legs of Kassiddee, and did proclaim \"Kahsadi, release not thine grip from my limbs. For Kassidee is totally floating. Don't you do it.\"\n\nKahsadi heard Maddy D and, though she was transfixed by the Majesty of The Prophetess, her hands did not fail her. She knew in that moment that Maddy D would bruise mightily, and said \"Beeyatch, don't you blame me for this. No bronzer is going to cover that up.\"\n\nThe rest of the Squad including Maddy C, Emma 2, and Emma, knew that they were witnessing the Rapture. They praised The Prophetess, raising their hands so that some of her holiness may fall upon them. They were all burned because the purity of their intentions was tainted as they only did it to get back at Khasadi for cheating with Emma 2's boyfriend.",
