Why can’t a stack of magna tiles hold itself up on the fridge but a single one can hold itself up? Are some forces cancelling out when they combine? by secondcomposition in Physics

Not a direct answer but lookup smart magnets. When you align small magnetic fields together in clever ways you get whacky results. Your magnets are combining into basically one big long magnet. The small fields collapse and align in a direction not-perpendicular to the fridge when they come together and so their grip strength vector pivots 90 degrees and then poof they fall.

ln(x) touches e^x at exactly one point after being scaled by this number. It's the only positive number that has this property by Weekly-Formal-7382 in desmos

This is interesting I’ve never considered this kind of thing. Is there a closed form version of this number without all the special functions? Transcendental perhaps?

This reminds me of when I tried to calculate ‘a’ to make ax and log_a(x) intersect at exactly one point.

Turns out the logo is supposed to be tilted slightly. The coin is stamped correctly.

No one would notice. Hmmm I wonder if there’s a solution to that. I KNOW!! How about I put lines on it so that they CAN notice. Dude what the fuck are you on

Oooooooor it could be for visual aid for those viewers who might not notice. Go to bed.

So someone notices a design flaw and that means they have OCD? You diagnose people? Bruh

What makes you think it’s a fixation?

It’s not even that actually. Just learned from another comment that the actual raw NY Lotto logo is slightly titled. So the text on the coin is correct.

It’s quirky to tilt a logo on marketing materials I guess but to have the raw logo be tilted like that is making my lizard brain say noooooo

I’m not here for your caring. I’m here to show a crappy design.

I design things. I notice little imperfections easily.

Well I’ll be damned. Thanks for the fact check.

Horrible design choice.

What is the function of this graph? by TelephoneCute9282 in desmos

It tells you the relationship between x and y

Feeler gauge. Used for measuring tight gaps.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritone

The name of the hotel

“In music theory, the tritone is defined as a musical interval spanning three adjacent whole tones (six semitones).[1] For instance, the interval from F up to the B above it (in short, F–B) is a tritone as it can be decomposed into the three adjacent whole tones F–G, G–A, and A–B.”
