    There are still some candidate hidden variable theories floating around, but they're all as weird, if not weirder than qm itself

    I believe this, but I don't know how "we just haven't found the variables yet" can be ruled out, as that seems like proving a negative

    Who likes Burger King's fries?

    When they first changed to the new ones, I did. Now I think they're a touch too thick and a bit underdone.

    It's not amazing. The best thing about them being popular is the existence of local clones that do it better. And getting people to eat good fries again.

    I go there when I want something that tastes like a home burger. Also to be full. Cause they give you a metric fuck ton of food.

    So the company interviewing me calls me up to get some info they need to book the flights. And they tell me that they are now planning on hiring two people for the position. This is a thing as an interviewee that I like to hear.

    They are still one of those fast food places that make a great Lettuce Wrap burger, which is why I still go there (that, and the magical new soda machines with the touchscreen). Carl's Jr/Hardee's also make a great one. In-and-Out is a bit so-so on the Lettuce Wrap front.

    you need to have something that points to there being hidden variables

    To be taken seriously a theory needs to have a lot more than "hidden variables that we can't see" because it assumes a lot of complicated stuff and changes nothing

    It usually means the sales person is on a tight leash with pricing from the sales manager. It may be that guy is an idiot or the sales department is run badly. Usually a salesperson should know what margin is there, and what discounts they can offer. But some sales people get desperate and go right to max discount which is bad in the long term, or the sales manager micromanages all quotes.

    --on gender-neutral restrooms--it was next to the men's room so it was only used by women as far as I could tell. I liked it because I am someone who gets look in the women's restroom/actual "uh, this is the women's restroom..." comments, so knowing that that was impossible was kind of interesting.
    but I didn't go to any of the diversity/equality/trans issues panels offered because I hate bad panels and there's no way to verify how good the speakers were. Plus I don't want to go to a panel that makes me angst.
    although also on gender themes, just introducing myself by my last name seems to be received fine ALTHOUGH Delmain made some sort of joking comment on "what the fuck sort of name is that" which >:[ I am self-conscious about this lastname introduction initiative so don't bring up how weird it is >:[ >:[ >:[

    --on Catan:
    Mayfair sold Catan! They are not going to be running competitive Catan tournaments any more. It is unclear whether the new owners of Catan will be running competitive Catan tournaments after this year's one at Gen con. That's why they weren't at PAX.
    -Sad, though; it's so much a thing I do that the tournament organizer of years past recognized me through my cosplay and took the time to explain the whole situation to me.

    What, no the only last name related comment I made to you was asking you if went by your married name.

    I feel it's disingenuous to say I should have known it was your last name when all you said was "don't use my name, call me ____ instead". Half the people in the group swap between a forum name and real name.

    Going by last names is fine, I did it for years.

    There are two possibilities:
    1) The theory with hidden variables predicts something different from the theory without. Even if that something isn't measurable with our technology at this time.
    2) The theory with the hidden variables makes no predictions different from the theory without. There are two sub-cases here:
    a) Keep working on the hidden variable theory until it does make a distinct prediction.
    b) Otherwise ignore it for the wank fodder it is.
