Whenever the plot entirely revolves on avoidable misunderstandings from character that nothing in the story prevents from having a clarifying chat. It’s weak storytelling.

Also whenever the characters don’t react to enormous thing A because advancing the story requires them to immediately ask about thing B.

Lastly whenever you end up screaming at the tv “you have enough clues to call for backup” or “enough reason to worry to call 911” yet they proceed alone. Bad writing.

“war is people that know each other but don’t kill each other making people that don’t know each other, kill each other”

I can’t remember the author, but i love this old quote

Incidentally, “youngest person to insert a thing” is a slippery slope and a great way to end up on a list. Shit.

It would make a great homebrew item with a finite # of casts inside, though, as a key pre-boss prep staging…

Nah, nah, nah. You all got it wrong. There’s one name and one name only: tech support.

“like that” is probably the best position to see shit

You’re right that they’re off-center from a first “symmetry line” you have to draw.

So: you place them on your cutting board. Trace an imaginary vertical bird’s eye view that passes by the center of both. Now based on that imaginary line, move both apples so they’re offset 2/3-1/3 from that line in each direction.

Align the two apples so they’re off center to one another. One has 2/3 on the outside to the left, 1/3 to the right, the other 2/3 to the outside to the right, 1/3 to the left.

Bird’s eye view, the single line cutting both apples will leave us with the left 2/3 of the first apple and the right 2/3 of the second, and a third portions made of 2 thirds, or another 2/3 of an apple.

One cut, 2 apples, 3 equal portions.

Odd, i feel it’s one of the best at staying funny and relevant

Task succeeded horrendously

Man… Article from 2018 and they still thought we’d eventually have another ice age… how the times change fast…

• Install a well anchored level shelf.

• Plaster, sand the holes and repaint when you remove the shelf.

Very basic tools, very easy techniques, yet mind blowing how many people don’t know how to do these things.

In a nutshell: rolling cool looking dice in a groovy dice tower is just absolutely pleasant.

It was Clarke - Azimov had other highly relevant quotes though, particularly the one on anti-intellectualism…

I’m so glad i could help!!

Sorry if someone else pointed to this already, but this could be relevant for your story:

“Unlike a body circling a single star, a planet orbiting a pair of stars would have to contend with two gravitational fields. And because the stars themselves orbit each other, the strength of the gravitational forces would constantly change.”
