Cougars are hardcore.

Unfortunately illegal to buy, and they charge by the hour.

I think I read somewhere you grate it.

Well since we're on the topic of cougars (sort of) what does OT think of them?

 

[NickyJ]

Which cougars, the "cougar" cougars or the "turkey vulture" cougars?

In the sentence: "The parliament has voted against the bill today after heavy debate."
Should the letter 'p' in the word 'parliament' be in upper case or lower case?

I think it's a proper noun if you're referring to a specific one. This is going off memory though so you may want to check Google.

This question is probably worth it's own thread, but I don't want to make one, so I'll shoot here.

Is the United Kingdom really starting to fall apart?

Parliament, but 'the parliament', I think, in the same way as 'God is great' but 'Jupiter and Mars were Roman gods'

Is the United Kingdom really starting to fall apart?

No, tenchars, next!

Nope, people who think that there is a strong Scottish or Welsh independence movement are quite off.

Okay... I suppose this make sense in the same way it is. The police are coming and not the Police are coming.

Unless you're talking about that band coming to a specific city on tour or something.

 

[GamezRule]

The police will be there when the Police are there because they are the Police and they need the police to be there.

How do I prevent things from getting caught in the wheels of my office chair?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

After I eat popcorn I often throw the leftover unpopped kernels outside for birds (we don't have a proper compost in the apartment). Is this a bad thing? Google gave me various results.

Don't have stuff on the floor.

If it is 1/64 that an experiment gives a certain result and I repeat the experiment 44 times how likely am I to get that result one time? Twice? three times?

 

[GinandTonic]

44 divided by 64 = 0.6875

 

[madviking]

if it is 1/64 that an experiment gives a certain result and i repeat the experiment 44 times how likely am i to get that result one time? Twice? Three times?

P(X=1) = ₄₄C₁ * (1/64)¹ * (63/64)⁴³
P(X=2) = ₄₄C₂ * (1/64)² * (63/64)⁴²
P(X=3) = ₄₄C₃ * (1/64)³ * (63/64)⁴¹
i

Never, it is always on the last try.
