Considering the comic says «tweet by @spinningjoe» in the bottom right, I think it is safe to assume he did!

Dammit! Sneaky typos…
The Internet seems to like it!
FYI: the word “game” in the phrase “the most dangerous gane” refers to the people being hunted, not the activity itself!
Just as deer are “game animals”, the humans are game in this particular hunt. But a human is far more dangerous than most animals we hunt, thus the phrase.
Yes, very much so! Or not even stereotypes, just the inability of «normal» people to understand how it can possibly be the case.
For most people it is (understandably) difficult to believe that it is hard to do things you want to do even when you have the opportunity to do them.
Yes, the whole point is that executive dysfunction also stops you from doing the things you do want to do! (There is no «don’t» in the thought bubble)
It also stops you from doing things you don’t want to do more often than for most people.
1·6 days agoWant something that folds perfectly to A4? A3. One more fold? A2.
This made it sound like you meant that folding an A3 sheet twice gives A2 😅 Might just be my reading comprehension, though!
You’d still get «weird» lengths in the other dimension, though. Remember, the aspect ratio has to be 1 to the root of 2 for the folding in half to work.
Also, I don’t think 1024 would have been such an obvious number back in the late 1700’s, when this system was first thought up 😅
There is a system of sizes where the shortest side of the base size is exactly 1 meter, though: the B system. The aspect ratio is the same as for the A sizes.
I see what you’re saying, but the «weird» dimensions are what makes the whole thing with folding in half to get the next size work:
The aspect ratio has to be 1 to the root of 2 for it to work, and that’s going to make some dimensions «uneven». The utility of that system is worth it many times over!
What on earth are you on about with those numbers? 😅
A0 is the base size, with an area of one square meter. Fold that in half and you get A1. Fold that in half and you get A2, and so on. Regular printer paper is A4. You’ll rarely, if ever, see sizes smaller than A6.
Incredibly silly movie, but a fun watch!
171·9 days agoThere are lots of good times to discuss that. But I can assure you that most Norwegians, myself included, would be pretty pissed to hear «great» as the first comment on Harald‘s death. The man was pretty universally well liked, and has been a unifying figure in a period where that is something increasingly rare.
In the current system, which is rigged heavily in the favor of those with money, it is hard to end homelessness, not complicated.
The issues you mention that are connected to homelessness today; mental health and addiction, are complicated. But those people should not need to also be homeless while we try to solve them.
60·10 days agoMy school canceled every Master’s-level class section with less than 15 students
The corporate mindset leaking into every aspect of society 🤮 Like, where are you supposed to specialize beyond large classes if not at goddamn masters level in uni?! Insanity.
11·10 days agoWait, so the Japanese 7-11 (7 & i holdings, or whatever) is now the «real» 7-11? Man, I hope they bring their concept across to other countries! 7-11 in Japan is fucking great!
Much less to scream about when you don’t have to spend time in a car on a freeway every day!
He’s going to watch the game through the hole
