So Trump imposes blanket tariffs, and only when a CEO pays him $5 million will he offer a carveout. Anyone who thinks he’s “draining the swamp” is either complicit or a fool.

Oh yes, I died so many times playing Tunic!

But then, I've died more playing Zelda than playing Dark Souls. But I might be hiding the sample sizes to fabricate a surprising-sounding factoid.

And remote controls should not need microphones, but how else are they gonna harvest our conversations?

It would be absurdly difficult to prove that no such trajectory exists.

If you want this to happen in a story, I'd say the biggest question is how long would it realistically have to take before the object returned? Is every trip duration possible? Or are there gaps? Hard to say.

It was a tricky word.

Truth and Justice are slow and cautious.

If you want to move fast and break things, you have to be a liar and a crook.

Being tricked by a fool doesn't make you a fool. It only means they're a liar, and you have a normal level of trust.

If they show you who they are, and you continue to be tricked just to save face? That would make you a fool.

Solve the world's problems so you can pretend the problems were fake all along. Polio, measles, the ozone layer, climate change. The list goes on.

Be the change you want conspiracy nuts to ignore in the world.

Epipens were stocked on planes because of FAA regulation. They will not be replaced.

ICE attacking schools and churches is a clear violation of the First Amendment Right to Free Assembly.

Using a public place to round people up is **1000% anti-American**.

It's something you can only do if you fundamentally hate America.

Everybody's gonna be seething after hearing the story. (Pandora's reaction to finding the attack was absolutely valid.) Mostly I hope Tedd isn't discouraged and immediately gets to work on detecting magical attacks against people with no defenses.

The year is 20XX.

Corporate mergers, completely unopposed, have grown utterly deranged.

The federal government has been replaced by Reuter's Digesla.

X is 3.

While Catalina seems like a great choice, I'm gonna have to go with Boaty McDollarson.

Despite them never appearing in the comic, I'll bet they exist somewhere in the EGS multiverse and are basically the Chosen One for this exact overly specific fate.

Always do less than you're capable of.

That way you can convince yourself you're capable of controlling your situation and simply choosing not to.

This particular infinite sequence isn't very useful. The address for the string you want? In binary, the address is even longer than the text you're looking for!

But there are infinitely many ways to make an infinite sequence. Some of those ways are better for the finite string you want to find.

If you find this hard to picture, try thinking about an infinite sequence of 0s and 1s that starts off with 0 1 00 01 10 11 000 001.... The spaces are just for readability.

Every finite binary string is somewhere in this sequence. That includes every image/webpage/song you'll ever download.

Fun fact: This is relevant to data compression. If you have any infinite sequence of text that eventually produces every finite string, then you can transfer any finite string by simply giving its address in one of these infinite sequences.

Pi might be such a sequence. It's unproven.

Thank goodness for people like former WAPO cartoonist @anntelnaes.bsky.social, American hero. This may only be the rough of the cartoon she planned to run before she was told she couldn't, but it speaks volumes, perhaps, especially in this form.

I finally stopped nitpicking lore when I tried writing something myself. Theme, tone, and likeability are so hard to achieve, and they're what truly speak to people, even to us nitpickers.

That's art. If it says something despite its technical imperfections, then it says something.

Well yeah. It became a meme stock. It's going to be volatile. I just hope it stops getting artificially inflated.

The moral of Nosferatu:

Listen to women, before it's too late, even if their knowledge seems inexplicable or downright magical.

Same as Cassandra warning about the Trojan Horse. She's serious. Heed the warnings.

Steven Hawking would be able to explain Brownian motion, propose further experiments in atomic physics, and start quantum mechanics 30 years early. I could do that much, and Hawking certainly knew incomparably more about math and physics than I ever have.

Once you're back far enough that a queen can't enter play on a diagonal, losing a queen from there almost doesn't matter. The only exception is that other pieces could move closer, moving "the zone of play".

Maybe a heuristic that counts possible moves would be simpler and more accurate?

The relative calculation needs to consider position for this reason. I can't claim I'll guess the right heuristic on my first try, but you can use any function that puts less weight on pieces farther from the center, and assign small negative value or zero to far off empty spaces.

I think the keyword is "naively". You can of course calculate the board value relative to the start, but if you try a naive piece-counting approach, you'll error out. Interesting question is where you'd start the naive iteration, since the board has no corners. Alternate rows from center? Not naive.

They call it a "guilty pleasure", but there's nothing to be guilty about here! I enjoy more than a few downright trashy works of fiction. Most recently the entire reborn-as-the-doomed-villainess genre.
