not quite. if you were counting the black triangles in the previous iteration, then this should be three times as many triangles, minus three. each of the previous iteration has those two big black triangles in the corner, but when you assemble them together, they merge into the two big corner triangles and the central triangle.

does that kind of a fine, after delaying payment for 7 years, even matter to a giant like google?

i think they know that. if you pluralized 'sclerosis', you'd expect to get 'scleroses'. just like pluralizing 'thrombosis' gets you 'thromboses'.

after about nine months of dreaming and pining and putting it off because of money, i finally got me some inline skates and i am so happy with them.

i used to do a bit of aggressive inline years ago, and last winter i got the idea in me to start skating again for some reason, and the idea would not leave me be. i was hesitant to order something online though without being able to try it on first, but i found a physical skate shop with what i wanted only like an hour and half drive away.

so i hit the road this morning, and not only did i manage to get exactly the skates i wanted, sized perfectly, and they were on sale, but the dude (Gil) at the shop threw in a free t-shirt and some wax too. big shout out to roller warehouse in rocklin, CA.

i then took them to a local rink, and was pleasantly surprised that i hadn't lost all of my skills over the past decade. i did take one tumble when trying to hop out of fakie, but i had a hell of a time overall.

the term i always heard was maltheism. reading the other comments though, i'm surprised how many other terms there are for this.

fun fact: renowned mathematician Paul Erdős referred to God as the SF, or Supreme Fascist, who kept all the best mathematical proofs to himself.

you're focusing on obama i assume, but the weird part of this to me is the apparent omission of adam savage

there's still goofy magic sci-fi designs now, and there have always been more 'realistic' designs based on (to varying degrees) real scientific and engineering knowhow. the only way one could come to this conclusion would be by cherry-picking your examples. if you compare 'the jetsons' to 'mass effect', sure, it supports your conclusion, but on the other hand, contrasting 'rick and morty' against '2001: a space odyssey' would give a rather different conclusion.

kinda weird that all of the 'smart' men they chose to picture are A) fictional, and B) murderers.

For the past 20 years UK Post Office employees have been dealing with a piece of software called Horizon, which had a fatal flaw: bugs that made it look like employees stole tens of thousands of British pounds. This led to some local postmasters being convicted of crimes, even being sent to prison, because the Post Office doggedly insisted the software could be trusted. After fighting for decades, 39 people are finally having their convictions overturned, after what is reportedly the largest miscarriage of justice that the UK has ever seen.
