[TTRPG] What do Hexbears think of Spire RPG?

Enterprise Roleplay
Erotic Resource Planning
The official Russian stats on the matter are quite misleading/are a lie. There are people who are factually not employed and who are de jure not counted as unemployed.
Basis for the claim: I was among such people until recently. Registering as de jure unemployed would have both been much more hassle than it would be worth, and it would have forced me to prove that I was incapable of most of the offered work. No actual benefit of registering apart from a pittance.
The Soviet Union and Russia use numbers as designation for many of its projects under development
Which clandestine Soviet projects used the naming convention 'Project [n]', where n is some number?
If you are trying to imply that other states do not use numbers in the naming conventions of their projects in general, then this is silly and you can look for all your M1s, Types, etc. all across the globe.
Here’s an example of Soviet ship project numbers that follows this convention
Notably, not a naming convention for clandestine projects, but for military engineering ones.
This extends beyond military projects though. In the USSR/Russia, research institutes are designated by number
None of those names follow the naming convention of 'Project [n]'.
Also, those are not research institutes you are linking to - those are constructor bureaus.
as well as hospitals and schools etc. You don’t go to Libertyville High School, instead in Russia you go to “School 57” (Школа № 57)
As an aside, this naming happens locally, and it actually doesn't quite apply to all (primary and secondary level) schools.
Also, I don't quite see what the relation is. I'm pretty sure that I can find similar naming conventions used for schools elsewhere.
China also largely follows the same numbering conventions for military projects, institutions, hospitals and schools
Which makes the soft-implication that it's just the USSR+Russia that use that naming convention more silly.
How is this a Soviet/Russian way of naming projects, and not a USian one?
The libs in Russia and China are now making a come back. Putin and Xi have, at least for this round, failed to wipe out the libs when the opportunity arises
Putin is a liberal. He has no intention of fighting anybody on the grounds of them being liberals.
I thought the Netanyahu warrant was issued months ago. I guess, ICC is being consistent in being a NATO organ.
Still focusing almost exclusively on the work-related studies. I will be starting next week.
Meanwhile Dump literally talks about killing people in the street
Meanwhile, Harris has been doing that throughout her career and also promises to do more of that.

...Or, more rigorously, non-correlation does not imply independence.
As this little guy and everybody else knows, one of the most famous correlation coefficients out there is Pearson's correlation coefficient: cor(ξ, η) = (E[(ξ-E[ξ])(η-E[η])])/sqrt(D[ξ]D[η]), where E[x] is the mathematical expectation of random variable x, D[x] is the dispersion of random variable x, and sqrt(x) is the (prime) square root of x.
As we all know, if cor(ξ, η) != 0, then ξ and η are not independent random variables. But recently, this little guy heard that it does not follow from cor(ξ, η) = 0 that ξ and η are independent. Obviously, he craves the light of knowledge and wants to hear some examples of non-independent random variables having a correlation coefficient of 0.

Trying to set up PySpark on Windows. Need help.
(hexbear.net)
Have been trying to set it up for hours now. Nothing works.
- Latest version does not seem to have winutils support, and using it causes errors when using some important methods. (EDIT: this is likely wrong, and the winutils stuff that I have should probably be fine.)
- Older versions require to be built with Maven. However, that just gives me a
PluginExecutionException.
I need to do this ASAP, preferably within the next 3 hours.
I have nowhere else to ask for help, it seems, especially considering that 
suspended an account I set up specifically for asking questions after I edited a relevant post.
Highly doubt that anybody will be able to help me.
EDIT2: the issue has, thankfully, been resolved. I was using Python 3.12, and switched to 3.11.8. That made the problem go away.

This little guy craves the light of knowledge and wants to know why 0.999... = 1. He wants rigour, but he does accept proofs starting with any sort of premise.
Enlighten him.

I remember when some western 'anarchist' told me how the PRC shouldn't be allowed to lead in space breakthroughs because there were some accidents in the 90s, but also that none of NATO states should be technologically blockaded because research should be shared (as well as that NATO supposedly doesn't try to blockade anybody from scientific and technological advancement).
