I know this is a marketing stunt, but the fact that she has a companion (of sorts) now just makes me stupid happy.

Please show up in Fortnite.  Please show up in Fortnite...

My original understanding was that sith used synthetic crystals compared to jedi, that were more unruly/unstable, hence things like kylo ren’s vented lightsaber being a thing. The torturing a sentient crystal thing is indeed silly. If they explain the mechanics behind the dark saber, I hope they don’t use such a lame…

You don’t get to do this on your first sequel, the second game has to be either numbered or have a subtitle. You only get to do the same name twice after multiple sequels and at least a decade have passed.

I’ve checked the law and found that this is true, what they are doing is illegal, don’t look it up.

Real fun how the elderly in this country not only have on average a higher net worth, were raised to have more trust in individuals, didn’t grow up with the internet so they don’t have the critical eye necessary to spot these scams, and grow increasingly senile every day due to age.

And there are increasingly fewer reasons to buy physical copies, unfortunately. Even the “own it forever” part is apparently waning; when I bought my first Series X, I also bought a copy of Lollipop Chainsaw for the 360 because it was a hoot when I played it on PS3. I couldn’t, because it wasn’t allowed. If they can…

In part of the video, Wyrmwood’s lawyer, Frank E. Biedak, gives the go ahead to share the video on their YouTube channel, alongside a written statement.

Think of it like Pi. In Pi, the sequence 92653 occurs three times in just the first million digits. That does not mean Pi isnt infinitely un-repeating.  The overall pattern never repeats, though.  There is no point where Pi starts over from 314..... and goes thru the exact same sequence of numbers, and then does it…

I had to figure it out in AutoCAD.

Yeah, the technical term there, in crystallographic terms at least, is the unit cell.  You need to have one unit butt up against the next unit with no intervening space.  It’s actually pretty useful that you circled three of these particular instances, because you can use the distance between the two on the left to…

This is a bit tricky. It’s not that no portion of the pattern will ever repeat; in fact any finite portion of the pattern could repeat an infinite number of times ( much like the initial tile itself). The assertion is that the entire pattern is not comprised of some repeating sequence. Consider the difference between…

One way to think of it: Print out two copies of the pattern on a transparent film, such that you can see one through the other. It would not be possible to shift the top copy to any other position where everything lines up. The pattern as a whole never repeats precisely, no matter how large or small you make it.

If you draw those circles bigger, eventually the shapes they enclose will differ. Compare with an infinite checkerboard: if you start drawing larger and larger circles (but always the same size as each other) around two different black squares, the shapes inside the two circles will be always be identical no matter…

That’s a fair thing to notice! Whilst that individual pattern may repeat, that pattern, itself, is not repeated such that it could be considered a fundamental unit of a larger pattern (or unit cell). When it comes down to it, it’s only the initial ‘hat’ that repeats without change.

It’s because of the way journalism is taught in college-level courses a lot of the time. Who are we studying in these classes? Norman Mailer, Joan Didion, Tom Wolfe, Hunter Thompson — the great longform essayists. But all of them are personality-driven, whether they intended to be or not, who approach social…

As someone with no real opinion on Sanderson or Wired, I think there is the basic issue of an interview, like all news, is really filtered through the lens of the interviewer. Kehe seems to not like Sanderson much, but saying things like “I never got anything real from him” is pure pontificating that takes away from…

“Why is the article so mean-spirited? Why does he hate Hugh Jackman so much that he bursts into tears when hearing him sing? Is this guy okay?”      Not just that, but seeing Sanderson’s 15 year old son salt his Yakisoba makes him CRY. So either

I like Sanderson’s books, they’re definitely popular because they’re accessible and competently delivered as opposed to dazzling the reader with prose but there’s no shame in being the MCU of fantasy books.

As someone who was raised in a cult, the fact Tom Cruise hasn’t seen Suri in years is not shocking at all. GUESS WHAT? The cult mind set is often much more powerful than the bonds of familial LOVE. If Tom Cruise was in Suri’s life - I would find it rather shocking.

Tom can see Suri. In their divorce agreement, he isn’t allowed to disparage or alienate Katie from Suri.
