The reason it doesn’t work is that 1 is a scalar while i is a vector (with magnitude 1). The Pythagoras theorem works with scalars, not vectors, so you’d get 1^2 +1^2 = 2.

Yeah, I think the far easier explanation is “people around the world depict their religious figures as looking like themselves”.

US voter turnout is abysmal, so half of the voters means like 30% of the people.

Never feel bad for pulling insane shenanigans in munchkin. That’s liberally what it’s for.

Dude, just use th.

I hadn’t played in years and started a new world a few weeks ago. I just started setting up a raill system when the update hit and now the whole thing is fucked. Gotta tear up a bunch of diagonal sections and re-do them noe that the new track angles lead to different accessible grid points. I literally cannot connect new rails to the old rails on the diagonal section 🙃

It’s literally a poem in the original language.

Don’t underestimate Colorado. Though it’s largely the recent Denver transplants keeping up that stereotype, whereas it’s the long-term Texans.

There’s a cool thing where pyrex, Pyrex, and PYREX are all different kinds of glass, age only one of them is the really good scientific-grade glass.

Hey look! Someone who only read the headline!

This is like, technically a weapon. It’s a tool for destroying enemy missiles in the air before they impact their target. It’s about as purely defensive of a weapon as you can get.

The US soldiers are operating the missile defense system, so there’s not room for Israel to “creatively” repurpose them. They aren’t assisting in any missions in Palestine, they’re purely defending against Iranian missiles.

Scottish talk radio sounds like a trip.

Nope, the geometry actually works out such that it doesn’t matter your distance from the mirror, only how tall the mirror is and how high it’s mounted.

A mirror that is as half as tall as your, mounted at head height, will show your white whole body regardless of how far away you are from it. TECHNICALLY, the bottom edge must be halfway between your eyes and feet, and the top edge must be halfway between your eyes and top of head.

I mean, apparently we’re getting hurricanes in Tennessee now, so it’s fuckin happening.

That buckler, however, is not being held correctly. You hold it as far out in front of you as possible with a stiff arm. You don’t sweep blows away like in dark souls.

YouTube had already gone through several eras a decade ago.

Saying that makes me want to yell at a cloud.

This definitely seems like the more likely explanation. There certainly is a mental/emotional hell you go through in academia, but with this y-axis being specifically about psychiatric medication… all I’m seeing is that grad students like/need Adderall.

The vast majority of the time, nepotism refers to a patent giving their children special privileges due to the power the parent has.

The word itself comes from from the Italian word for “nephew”, because of a trend of “nephews” of popes getting special privileges (often, these were the popes’ illegitimate sons).
