I turn latin poetry into long lists of floating point numbers
I, too, like to load bars

I'm not trying to be an ass, or correct you :) I agree, just wondering why that doesn't apply to "impossible", for me. linguistics is weird.

hey quick q, I never really studied any history.. is 'not paying the army' usually a good strat, or is it cool?

linguistically, interesting :) this is bad to me as well, but "do the utterly impossible" is fine. "the realm of the possible" (adj as a mass noun) is also fine for me?

"free your think" is a solid 'no'

This is one of those technical things, like correctly defining a p-value, that just can't be done easily and correctly at the intro level. But if you want the technical explanation, see notes for week 4 of my evo game theory course. PDF link: github.com/rmcelreath/V...
