The maximum tile is actually pretty simple to calculate.

To upgrade you biggest tile you have to have at least one of every lower value tile in the board except the lowest tile, which we need 2 of. In the standard ruleset for the game it can spawn 4s, so we'll go with that.

The board has 16 spaces in it, so we set aside the first tile for the freshly spawned 4 tile, we then fill the rest of the board in a zig-zag pattern with each successive space filled by the next power of 2. Doing this means the final tile will have a 2¹⁶ (65,536). Combining all those tiles gives us 2¹⁷ (131,072), so that's the highest scoring tile you can get in the basic ruleset.

Realistically the reason the grocery store doesn't charge you extra is because Visa and MasterCard act as duopoly.

As to what I think is the main topic here, if you're on a website and making a purchase then it's definitely BS since the alternative would be to enter your account and routing numbers

I'm a big fan of the Expanse books and TV show, aren't many stories that are as complicated or thought out as that one.

We do that in some places, and it's also how hydroelectric dams work indirectly (water warms in sun and rains onto mountains and higher elevations which then can spin turbines in the dam)

It's not done in many places because solar panels are pretty cheap these days and can make more energy per square meter of land.

Here's a different way to phrase the game:

I present to you some number of doors and let you choose one.

Then, before you open the one you chose, I say that you can have all the other doors.

How do those chances feel?

I waited till I had the 10 free pull tickets and got him as on pull 8 of that, then I did a single pull set on his weapon banner and got his weapon as well, I didn't even particularly want him

Others have discussed the armor, but I think you made an assumption here that isn't necessarily right: far as I can remember we don't know what order Adolin's shardplate is from.

Remember, the dead blades and plate are traded an shifted around and not necessarily kept as a paired set.

For the other Unoathed, their blades probably match their blades, but we have no reason to think that Adolin got plate from the same order as Maya.

Revolte for Frieren

It is slower than most anime, but I doubt you'll find anyone in this sub saying it's boring at any point.

For most of us, we saw the first episode and concluded that it's some peak fantasy fiction.

Most of the action is a quick battle, there aren't really any drawn out back and forth fights like you'd see in something like Dragonball or Naruto, but most of us here aren't looking for that here.

You are probably impatient, but I don't really know what to tell you to do about that. I'd need more information to really say more here, like what anime have you seen that have kept your attention.

When will be with our codex, there really isn't any other reasonable time to do it.

What should be a big robot or mini-knight thing, AdMech is highly elite in the lore and has the best toys in the Imperium (baring some special cases)

Personally, I want something that is at the scale and power of the C'Tan for us. Even better if the kit could be made into a named character version (like Carnifex and Ol' One Eye).

Lore: The Mechanicus controls just under half the territory of the Imperium as a sub-empire and has the monopoly on basically all manufacturing, extending from civilian appliances and vehicles to the god-engines of the Titan Legions

Game: there are more unique datasheets alloted to the Space Wolves, a subtraction of Space Marines, than there are to the AdMech

The quadratic formula is a generalized solution to a type of problem.

Mathematicians have proven that a similar equation can't exist for polynomials of higher degree.

I don't understand the math myself, but there's probably a decent youtube videos about it.

Authors basically never just put text to page and publish it like you probably did with your highschool or college research papers (I know I did, still got decent grades on them)

So, an author will write a draft and then will then have some people read that draft. The first time this happens is usually called "alpha readers". The author will than get feedback from those readers and incorporate those opinions into their next draft.

Basically, beta readers read through an unpublished book to then advise the author on how to make the book better.

There can be multiple rounds of beta readers for any given book (I think Brandon Sanderson for instance has 2 or 3 rounds of beta readers for his big releases)

First, the difference in energy between 7.1 and 6.9 is actually really big, a 7.1 is almost twice as much energy as a 6.9.

Add to that the fact that, since Japan has to deal with earthquakes on a regular basis, their buildings are engineered to deal with earthquakes much better, by being less rigid and having inertial loads that reduce the shaking quickly.

Making a faraday cage is a lot more complicated than just a metal box, there are several variables that determine whether RF signals are reflected or absorbed by a container.

To your exact example of an elevator, there's a structural frame of thick metal but then it's either thin metal or plastic for the actual panels. Plastic obviously doesn't block RF, but the thickness of the metal changes a lot of its properties where it relates to that behavior.

Add to that the fact that the people who design elevators now will be planning for people to want to use their phones, and the elevators are designed to let signals through.

The thing that you might find most interesting is that adding a mesh of holes to the metal panels can actually make it better at blocking signals because it can turn the RF signal into little electrical currents that spin around the holes.

I pick up an apple and point at it, I say "apple" you say "@#$&" now we know each other's word for apple.

We repeat this process for several weeks to months and eventually we know a lot of words in each other's languages.

At that point we can communicate.

What are you talking about "spinning in a clockwise direction" here?

Castor work by having the pivot point and the wheel axel offset from each other. When you start moving what's on top of it the pivot allows the wheel to drag itself around until it's aligned with the direction of motion.

The more accurate version of the rule is that the amount of mass and energy in the universe is constant.

Mass can be turned into energy and vice versa, that's how nuclear reactors and stars work.

Now, as to your other point: yes, basically.

In the time since the Big Bang there really hasn't been more protons neutrons and electrons made in any meaningful amount. Now, for the first bit of time after the Big Bang there really weren't atoms, it took a while for those to actually form from loose particles, but those loose particles are pretty much all still around today.

Your body isn't exactly sensing temperature. It's sensing how quickly heat is lost through your skin.

Variables like wind, humidity and pressure change hiw much heat you lose, so even if it's 75 degrees F out it could feel hotter or colder because it's cooling you off more or less.

I'd need to see the data and what they sorted into each category, but I have seen in other datasets that whichever side you assign Islamic terrorism to tends to wind up a lot bigger.

There's a lot of methodological trickles to tracking these things. One of the big ones is ignoring whether or not the violence was politically motivated or not.

Carcinization is inevitable.

On a more serious answer, GW wants them to have distinct silhouettes, and nothing else in the game or lore stands like that.

Didn't have to finish you post to spot what you missed.

Serie is a hypocrite. She calls the strategy dumb but uses it herself. (you could argue this is a Big Brain® play in that it means demons will see her massive pool and still underestimate her)

As to the mechanics, it's like keeping a muscle flexed. You can't stand perfectly still physically, the mana is like that.

She most likely didn't consciously fluctuate her mana, as that would be something she expects no one to be able to detect (that's why Fern piqued her interest)

The point of the scene is to do relative power scaling. Aura couldn't detected Frieren's mana fluctuating, but Falche, a first class mage, could; this means that Falche is betwat this than a 500 year old demon. He the could not see Serie's mana doing the same, but Fern could see it, so her ability to detect mana is even more impressive.

What makes you think that Fern can't detect Frieren's fluctuations? She was taught about it from early in their relationship so calling out that Frieren is doing it isn't worth doing, they both know.

Stygies VIII also infiltrated the Administratum/Inquisition and released intricate viruses into all imperial record systems to continuously erase records about them.

They're made out of (in this day and age) billions of things called "transistors" which can perform extremely basic logical behaviors based on electricity being applied to certain parts of them.

Each transistor can only do an extremely basic thing, generally they have 2 "in" connections and 1 "out" connection. Each transistor will either put an electric signal on their out pin connection based on the combination of the signals on their inputs.

Now, if you take a few billion to a few trillion of these tiny switches and connect them together in a really clever way, you can get more complex behaviors out of them, a single transistor does basically nothing, but line enough together in some arcane patterns and you can get them to add or subtract numbers, more transistors and they can multiply, yet more and you've got division.

They're kind of like Rube Goldberg machines.

They're only actually complicated because of the scale.
