watching an episode of chopped and in the final round they asked one of the contestants what she would do with $10k and she said “I have student loans to pay off” and one of the judges said “don’t spend the money on student loans. do something to enrich yourself–travel, take a class, visit 50 restaurants, that is worth so much more than paying off the debt” and I just
what kind of privileged rich dude BULLSHIT is that I s2g
he ought to pay off my student debt just for making me listen to that fuckery
“Take a class”
Bitch I took several that’s why I have student debt
MAYBE if u didn’t want ur son to EAT poeple u shouldnt have named him something that rhymes with cannibal u should have name him hegetarian or something
If one remembers this particular episode from the popular sitcom ‘Friends’ where Ross is trying to carry a sofa to his apartment, it seems that moving a sofa up the stairs is ridiculously hard.
But life shouldn’t be that hard now should it?
The mathematician Leo Moser posed in 1966 the following curious mathematical problem: what
is the shape of largest area in the plane that can be moved around a
right-angled corner in a two-dimensional hallway of width 1? This question became known as the moving sofa problem, and is still unsolved fifty years after it was first asked.
The most common shape to move around a tight right angled corner is a square.
And another common shape that would satisfy this criterion is a semi-circle.
But
what is the largest area that can be moved around?
Well, it has been
conjectured that the shape with the largest area that one can move around a corner is known as “Gerver’s
sofa”. And it looks like so:
Wait.. Hang on a second
This
sofa would only be effective for right handed turns. One can clearly
see that if we have to turn left somewhere we would be kind of in a tough
spot.
Prof.Romik from the University of California, Davis has
proposed this shape popularly know as Romik’s ambidextrous sofa that
solves this problem.
Although Prof.Romik’s sofa may/may not be the not the optimal solution, it is definitely is a breakthrough since this can pave the way for more complex ideas in mathematical analysis and more importantly sofa design.
Have a good one!
I don’t know what to do with this information but I support it
Context: I was DMing for a group of two new players(A gnome rogue who’s player was used to barbarians and a half-orc barbarian who’s player is just generally weird) and one experienced player (A half-elf bard with a dark sense of humor) and I decided to record our session and these are some of the gems I found while listening.
Chad (the rogue): I grab my chair and break it in half to intimidate him.
Me: Automatic fail.
Chad: WHY
Me: You’re a fucking gnome, Chad.
Luke (barbarian): Do they have cocktail weenies here?
Me: They- um, have very small sausages?
Luke: Good, I’ll have thirteen thousand, please.
Me: What the fuck
(a barfight literally three minutes later)
Luke: I throw my weenie at the orc
Me: Roll … dexterity, I guess?
Luke: *rolls a 15*
Me: The weenie bounces off the orc’s forehead and lands at his feet. Congrats bro, now he wants to kill YOU instead of the mage in the corner.
Aiden (bard) I throw a bottle at the guy.
Me: Which guy? There are multiple guys here.
Aiden: I’m gonna aim for the big one trying to eat me, but as long as I hit one I’m good.
Me: Where do you get the bottle from?
Aiden: dammit
Chad: I attack the half-orc, yelling like a banshee.
Me: He is unimpressed, seeing as you’re nine feet shorter than him and a fucking lunatic.
Aiden: I flirt with the barista.
Me: It’s a dude . .
Aiden: I FLIRT WITH THE BARISTA *proceeds to roll a nat20 and seduce the barista with his profound homosexuality*
Chad: What do I see around me?
Me: Utter blackness.
Chad: I mean OUTSIDE of the blackness.
Me: *rolls his perception check- 7)
Me: You see a slightly less black shape which turns out to be your own hand in front of your face.
And that’s just from the first session. Imagine what I had to endure for the rest of the campaign!
