The Zachtronics solitaire collection (steam, Linux version available) has a bunch of fun unique solitaire variants, and every layout is guaranteed to be solvable.

It’s a lot harder to make that argument in the context of the rest of the lyrics

Music is a lot like love, it’s all a feeling And it fills the room, from the floor to the ceiling I see miracles all around me Stop and look around, it’s all astounding Water, fire, air and dirt Fucking magnets, how do they work? And I don’t talk to a scientist Y’all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed Solar eclipse, and vicious weather Fifteen thousand Juggalos together And I love my mom for giving me this Time on this planet, taking nothing for granted

It’s not anti-science, it’s frustration at the world for being the complicated, messy place it is, and a longing to go back to the simple innocence of childhood where even basic physical processes are magical. It’s not a rant that nobody should do science, it’s his own disillusionment, and a plea for people to allow a little bit more wonder into their world.

It’s a powerful lyric because even in a song about how magical the world is, it still slips in and ruins it, the pebble in your shoe that doesn’t allow you to ever truly experience that pure feeling again, always gnawing at you in the background no matter what you do.

And anyway, the correct term is gaslamping.

It’s a Netflix production, it’ll be there after the theatrical run.

This is actually the sandwich problem, which states there is exactly one slice that will split a sandwich of 3 elements into exactly 2 halves regardless of the shape or position of those elements. We don’t need the full proof, but the problem is continuous, so any desired ratio is possible, therefore you will always be able to slice an apple into exactly 1/3 and 2/3rds “good bits”, so a single slice will always be able to do the job.

It’s been added to OEIS already https://oeis.org/A268236

Still think they should have gone to A123ABC instead but I guess it’s fine.

Anyway I’ll probably hack together an implementation to see if it actually works like I think it does

The standards for eggs are really strict in Japan, eggs are so safe already that eating raw eggs is a commonly accepted practice.

10kV static discharge and 5kA @ 1mV would like a word.

Assuming you are on a phone, viewing desktop version bypasses the app nag.

The key insight is that the force a plane uses to move is independent of the ground, because planes push on the air, not the ground.

Imagine you put a ball on a treadmill and turn it on, what happens? The ball starts to spin and move with the treadmill. Now take your hand and push the ball backwards against the motion of the treadmill, and the ball easily moves in that direction. The force your hand put on the ball is exactly what planes do, since they push on something other than the ground (the treadmill) they have no problem moving, no matter how fast the treadmill is moving.

Plane on a treadmill is really interesting because if you understand how planes work its so obvious what will happen you don’t need to test it. Planes move on the ground by running their engines, which push against the air, the wheels provide zero motive force. It’s also why planes need tugs to move away from the gate, you can’t run the engines in reverse. Planes are not cars, but people tend to assume the thing they don’t understand works like the thing they do understand, and refuse to believe their hasty assumption is wrong even when told directly their hasty assumption is wrong.

And what year did we start using that calendar system? Oh right, it was 525.

Not a French speaker,but more than a bit of a keyboard nerd. I can’t help but notice how similar the layout is to the English alt layout Colemak, specifically the angle mod version for ISO keyboards. It is cool that this is an official standard layout. Is this planned to replace azerty completely? I don’t see many other countries other than France making such a change, but I am excited that French has water looks to be a very good modern layout.
