  • Say the cars are 4.5m long each, 150 cars long half a metre between them for 650m, so quite likely 1km given the roughness of my estimates

  • That has a lot of new generation not as rad as old generation energy. I have found the youth as dedicated and driven as anyone else, though naturally less knowledgeable as they are pretty new to whatever job.

    Some are incompetent, but some were incompetent in my cohort too, they don't last long just like the ones in my cohort didn't.

  • That's unlikely on a D20. They're almost all polished in rock tumblers which leaves edges rounded to random radiuses and faces all different sizes

    That's true of all sizes but matters more on the dice with more faces

    On most dice rolling a 1 or 20 or 12 indicates that that number is probably more likely than others to come up

    Some dice are worse than others, reportedly the TSR red box d20s were egg shaped with 1 and 20 on the ends making those numbers highly unlikely

  • Many though will land preferentially on one axis or one side. Practice rolls could easily conceal checking whether you have the low rolling die or high rolling die

  • Louis Zocchi - The guy who made fair polyhedral dice - reckoned the problem is that polyhedral dice become unfair through the edges being rounded so they roll more easily from some sides than others and they become less than square/round

    This is an old video from him about why dice suck

  • I try hard to only roll my old fair dice on felt (in the past) or plastic (since 3d printers). They work by having hard corners, those wear down making the dice less fair when rolled on surfaces harder than ABS

    I guess if your dice were pre worn by polishing you can't make them worse, and fair polyhedric dice are pretty much no longer available

    Online dice simulators are probably fairer still

  • I love my fair dice (I've been playing for a while, so they're gamescience dice, though I think I have only used the zocchihedron in anger twice) there's nothing like rolling 1s and 20s with equal chances. In d&d 3.5 our last fight started when I attempted to kick open a door the ranger was peeking through and rolled a 1

  • Possibly. It could be or it could've been invented to make some point long after Pythagoras' life

  • From Wikipedia "Bean":

    cultivated since the seventh millennium BCE in Thailand, and since the second millennium BCE in Europe and in Peru.

    So from Asia, and in Europe 4 kiloyears ago

    The nine kiloyear Thai date suggests beans were among the first domesticated plants in afroeurasia

  • (thank you for your service)

  • @fossilesque@mander.xyz could you replace the version of this on your collection so next time it's clean of censorship, a clean version to dirty up the internet a little more

  • Practically no one dies on either path, since a tram is a real thing it can't traverse infinities of people (which notably have among their mandatory elements mass and volume) very well. It would hardly get far. Its automatic braking would stop it in any case.

    Whatever happens infinities of people still remain which exceeds the carrying capacity of our observable universe

  • I think they mean: Arguing about words is what causes problems the current problems in American politics

  • I don't think there's much effort to get us to use different terms for that though. Slaved machines and programs though (what's the word got to do with it anyway? It's still going to be one thing directing another and the second following without question)

  • Amen

    Jump
  • For they shall see causation too

  • It seems relaxing punctuated by sprinting is good for you

  • The big file lock issue for me is when it is the file browser locking the file in order to give you a summary of it in the side bar, so you can't edit it, you can't rename it

  • I think on the bottom you have to be the zeroth, but typically the first person tied to the track would be the first, so if the first is at 1 they're safe since there's an infinity (a large infinity even) before them and there's only one tram that can hit one person at a time

    It'll take infinite time just to start hitting
