“To truly understand what’s going on, you have to stop and think. You have to do the work to figure out the probabilities of something like that happening. It’s how we understand what is and isn’t true.” utoronto.ca/news/math-behind… via @uoftnews @researchuoft @probabilityprof

Shocked by @DoorDash. I've been a loyal customer for years. Then one order was delayed by several hours (!), so I cancelled it. And now they won't give me a full refund! Terrible service, won't use again. @DoorDash_Help
