At least for the fermions the answer is a nice power of two for each generation. There is the electron, the neutrino, the red, green and blue up quark and the red, green and blue down quark, giving 8 fermions per generation. Since one can distinguish between particles and antiparticles, one could also argue for 16 fermions per generation. Also one can distinguish between left and right handed particles, giving a total of 32 fermions per generation.

You really believe that skinny people are just more disciplined than obese? I would highly doubt that most skinny people actively try to keep their weight down, it‘s just how they are.

I think this would look much better if the blur radius / strength would be increased

Gaussian integrals are also pretty much the basis of quantum field theory in the path integral formalism, where Isserlis's theorem is the analog to Wick's theorem in the operator formalism.

Many people here were so confident a few days ago that the tariffs were just some 4d chess to get interest rates down, despite this not making any sense.

This is just delusional. Everybody is looking for some reason that makes this less stupid than it looks, but there is none.

Intentionally causing a recession to lower the debt burden makes no sense, neither politically nor economically. Besides that the US is not some third world country that issues debt in a currency they have no sovereignty over.

Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

Without additional assumptions this original wording is not clear, it could be that the host always shows a goat, then one should switch, or the host shows something at random and we just look at the cases where he shows a goat, then it doesn't matter.

Honest question: What about someone doing the opposite, simulating trillions of suffering flys? Shouldn‘t we worry about that?

I mean if you make money with this strategy, then the stocks bought were undervalued (overvalued) and by buying (shorting) them you pushed the price more to the stock‘s fair value. I really see no problem here.

On the plus side, you can just avoid companies paying nonsensical dividends and focus on companies actually creating shareholder value with their money.

No, he did it because at the time, oil was in backwardation, making the move very profitable. It just makes sense economically for anyone who stores oil.

Same thing in Europe, and everyone is complaining. What I don‘t get, it‘s just acetaminophen, so buy a normal, dissolvable tablet, adjust the dosage, problem solved?

Dumb question: Wouldn’t every diet show no improvement with an isocaloric control group?

Note that while a country may have a relatively large external debt (either in absolute or per capita terms) it could actually be a "net international creditor" if its external debt is less than the total of external debt of other countries held by it.
