Ah, gotcha. I knew that was II back there but I didn’t recognize Brandon Toews. Thanks!

That’s really II? I didn’t realize he was non anonymous

Agree, but it’s certainly easier to do in NYC than rural places in the US, so I advocate for starting there

Good, especially since the law just targets POC.

If car traffic became 50% worse to make walking traffic 5% better, that’s a win for humans in the city. It’ll help convince more people to use non-car methods of transportation and that helps spark people to vote for and invest in more non-car infrastructure.

Ditching cars in populated cities isn’t a magic law or anything, it’s a slow incremental burn; legalizing pedestrians walking strictly helps that

I find this to be largely true, especially of older people, for foreigners who live there. But not to discourage a visit: you are very welcomed as a tourist in most places in Japan, and any Japanese you speak will be appreciated.

My movie theater has missing cat posters that you can submit for your cat. The cat is at home, you just miss it while you’re at the theatre

Also non Euclidian! Hexagons (the bestagons) also tesselate and fix that problem nicely

Heck yeah, I’ll try my best!

So on a euclidian chess board, moving your king one space left would be 1 space, one space up would be 1 space, and one space diagonally would be √2 spaces (some simple trig gets us there).

Chess however, does not obey the laws of Euclidian geometry nor does its physical representation show us things to scale. A king’s move diagonally is the same amount of space as a move side to side, 1 space.

It’s silly, because spaces weren’t directly supposed to represent distance or anything, but it’s funny that it works out this way

Dude, same. The worst part of my recent should surgery was the lack of caffeine all day (bumped from noon to 4 pm surgery). That first sip of recovery room coffee was incredible

I always use Chess boards to describe non-Euclidean spaces when I “need” to (aka when I get even a narrow chance to)

I love this advice. I found someone on YouTube and poorly copied them on a MTG card (just altering it). It was fantastic, and I really am looking forward to the next one already

I appreciate it! I actually painted a little today, while I probably should’ve been working. It was delightful

I just wanna say that your comment (and the few others here) got me to whip out my mini paints for the first time in a while and paint a MTG card. I’m stoked with how it came out, even though it’s not “good” and I think I might invest in a few colors/a pallet (using cardboard now)

Any specific drawing advice? I’ve always wanted to draw and to paint and have had such difficulty getting off the ground

That’s awesome! I hope it’s flat at least

Each way?? Or round trip?
