I'd sentence that sucker to twenty years. Working on that church. Wake up in prison, go to work, come back. Six days a week. Sundays, you wake up in prison and you go to church to pray for forgiveness.

Communist!

The statues are pretty funny and well done. Can’t imagine the blackface uproar if they were done during the Obama years, though.

You beat me to it. I was ready to post something similar, and I knew just what colors, too.

Fully jaded people would say either choice is just as bad. The interesting part is that those that want to be in the middle and just want their return to normalcy are being forced to choose. Those on the left that believe Trump will win wont allow themselves to realize that their fear is that enough in the middle will go Trump’s way. Deciding that both choices are equally bad is a personal failure, but one that people seem to be contented with.

I suspect that a Trump will lose big time, but I have witnessed enough new data to come in of late that I’m not so sure that Nate’s models know how to deal with the uncertainty of the next 100 days. I’m a big fan of data but I’ve also seen it be so much less predictive of late than I thought possible.

It would be funny, if it wasn't true...

@Axtremus said in Humanoid Robot with AI to become Hollywood actress: Nah, after “acting,” the next qualitative jump for AI powered humanoid robot would be “directing.” It won't, and it will suck terribly. And you know what's fun? Your counter-argument is going to be all the proof I need for my own, which is that you don't even know what movies are. Wanna spin?

@Catseye3 said in The Cooper Colors: My father's version was simpler: "Drive like everyone around you is stupid." Bikers and cyclists learn it as "ride like no one can see you."

@Loki said in Meanwhile in Minnesoooooota: The one thing these people want is attention. It’s too bad ignoring them is not a viable option. I know I would. I don’t view it as an aggression toward me just a mental health issue that person is facing. The constant level of anger must make their lives nearly intolerable for them. Trolls want desperately to be fed. Agree

@Mik said in Coolest thing you’ll learn today: I knew that. Very cool. I saw that recently as well. But in the last year I also saw a documentary on the mystery of the statues and it is amazing that no one thought to look below the surface.

Yes, it seems to be the same solution indeed. In that solution, the partial sums of both clock-wise and anti-clockwise movement are used and I use only one direction (hence my list of partial sums is only singly-infinite, not doubly-infinite), but I think that's a superficial difference. Nice! But I do have an unfair advantage in this case: It's somewhat similar to things I do for a living (such as: proving termination or confluence of certain state transition systems in theoretical computer science).

Jolly probably has recommendations for how to handle the coyotes, too.

If only. You want oppression? Coming right up, sucker.

It is tough. I realize how lucky I am. Things are as "stable" as possible, but I see and hear of so many others with problems and major concerns. Makes mine look very small.

The authors are apparently two folks from the dept. of materials science, and one from the school of dentistry at Athens university. I wonder if they're undergraduates - there's a noticeable lack of letters after their names.
