Ah yes appeal to authority. There is a reason this is a well understood fallacy; assuming something is true (or false) because the speaker says it is flawed.

I’m doing my part
Just came here to say this.
The suggested videos are terrible.
I only use Reddit when it comes up in a search result. Otherwise it is Lemmy all the way
It depends on the distance to object. Also the distance between the object and something to compare it to.
I have crappy old couches etc…because my three boys are very rough.
Why buy nice stuff that you have to worry about.
I cracked my ribs mountain biking. Two months later, I got food poisoning and re-cracked them, whilst throwing up.
I don’t want to sound judgmental. I’ve never been in your position.
One potential way to approach this would be to “bring the shelter staff on the juorney”.
This is a people problem, not a technical one. People that run shelters, especially volunteers, a good people. But they likely have been burned in the past; they will not blindly trust.
This is the way.
Getting a toddler to sit quietly for an extended period is hard. You are either listening to them, or entertaining them; a lot of parents, these days, use a smartphone for this.
Also 45, I have heard the name, but I don’t know who he is.
A little, but not too much.
Flat taxes annoy me more than proportional taxes.
BMI is kinda like IQ, certainly useful, but it doesn’t tell the full story.
If it is high, you may be fat, if it is really low, you are definitely underweight.
Quite the opposite
For distance:
For temperature (for me):
For weight, it is too dependent on your strength. For some, lifting a 20kg sack of flour would be to much, for others grabbing two 40kg sacks of cement per trip to the palet is normal.
A Food-like Product
It is not really weird, OP is arguing that the universe itself is deterministic. Taking a mechanistic approach to refuting that claim is perfectly valid.
There are a myriad of examples of physical processes that are chaotic, this invalidates OP’s claim.
To address the morality point, if God is the source of goodness and morality; beyond the question of “which God?” ; it means objective morality doesn’t exist, because God can change it’s mind about what is “good”.
But that is a discussion finds a different threat.
OK let’s just start with the assertion that there of a casual link back to the beginning of time.
We will begin with the big one first. We don’t even know if time had a beginning.
If we assume that time began at the instant of the big bang. There is no plausible link between my bean induced fart, and some random energy fluctuation, there are just too many chaotic interactions between then and now.
There are so many things we don’t know, making the extremely bold claim that free will doesn’t exist, is dangerously naive.
We can’t even solve Navier-Stokes; neuronal interaction is so far beyond what we are currently capable of, it’s ridiculous.
My recommendation to anyone contemplating this question. Assume free will exists; if you are wrong, it will made no difference; you were destined to believe that anyway.
The stock market is chaos, driven by bias and a bunch of unknown and unknowable variables.
A simple example with 3 players.
Each action by the different players causes something to happen to the price, no-one can know all the internal thought patterns of all the other interested parties, and thus can never have perfect information. And even with perfect information, it may not be possible to predict, as some stocks interact in non-predictable ways.
e.g. Nvidia goes up, TSMC usually goes up, but not always. TSMC going down can be caused by Nvidia, but also thousands of other things also.
Conclusion: can the stock market be predicted? General trends - Yes, specific stock movements - No!
Easy fix, stop doing studies. The problem will just disappear.
