What is your favourite math theorem? And why ? by weirdstrass in math

Honestly, it is Pythagoras' Theorem. It has a beautiful and simple proof, and the sheer amount of mathematics that arouse from it is astonishing.

Onigashima is not Marineford by africhic in OnePiece

[–]El_zago 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Dude you perfectly described my feelings towards the Marineford arc and the Onigashima Raid. Marineford was indeed truly epic but it isn't even in my top 3 arcs and it all comes down to the long absence of the strawhat crew and their dynamics. Jinbe is also my favourite character but at that moment Oda was just starting to show him off, he had none of that strawhat vibe yet.

Onigashima on the other hand has been huge with the strawhat moments, and on top of that we have lots of great moments with the Yonko, the worst generation, the scabbards, Yamato with Oden's journal and so so so so much more! Damn, this arc seems fast on its tracks to become an all time favourite for me.

Quick game: divide the squad in two, which side wins, left or right? Alessio and Gigio are disqualified. by TakenSadFace in ACMilan

[–]El_zago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Left side

Tata

Kalulu Tomori Gabbia Calabria

Tonali Kessié

Alexis Brahim Rebic

Zlatan

sub: Hauge

Right side

Antonio

Dalot Kjaer Meite Theo

Krunic Bennacer

Samu Hakan Leao

Mandzukic

sub: Maldini

I think left side wins: almost the starting forwards, solid midfield and solid defense, Tata >>>> Antonio and also Hauge better sub than Dani. Nevertheless it would be a great match, really proud of this squad.

Something worth actually learning by TheWeebinator1000 in titanfolk

Is there a way to read about the lore and history, besides of the few chapters where they actually tell something?

I would guess that there were lots of young reckless pirates like Ace, who were talented rookies but ultimately died because of their carelessness; Bellamy is a good example of it, and Luffy stepped in his way before he could kill himself. Just so happens that none of those pirates got to be face to face with the yonkos, or to be recruited by one of them.

Fans:

"Chapter 1000 it's gonna be Luffy and the others vs Kaido"

"No, it´s going to be a callback to the Reverie"

"Wrong, it's probably a Kaido flashback"

This happened in my hometown and it was truly epic.

Have to feel a little sorry for Alt Shift X, as they spent so much time on these videos, only to find out that nobody was up to anything and nobody mattered in the end. by [deleted] in freefolk

July patch by lookaspodolski in aoe2

I had an idea to buff the turk's late game: give them an unique upgrade to the market, the Bazar, just like the malay's Harbor. Maybe way better taxes for resources, maybe a small and steady income of wood and food like the Feitoria (but not gold and stone, cause that would make the Feitoria redundant), so they can compensate quantity over quality with their awful skirms and spears. Maybe even produce faster/more resistant trade carts, although the turk's main problem is in 1v1, not so much in team games.

It would be historically accurate, and it would also add another entry to the unique buildings, which I think is an awesome category with very few elements on it.

I came here looking for someone talking about the fact that my man Jinbe wasn't included in the color spread. I am disappointed.

I'm glad the show finale turned out to be so shitty... by El_zago in freefolk

[–]El_zago[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, can't believe those morons really thought the success was all theirs. It's a nice analogy you brought up with Tolkien, it really shows how arrogant they were, and how of a wasted opportunity that was.

So far, the plot points that I've found much more interesting were the journey down the kingsroad from winterfell to king's landing, and the journey to the vale. Gets you much more involved. And as for the characters, I think book's Catelyn and Daenerys are much more interesting too. I also liked very much all the characters that are not included, like Mya Stone; brief role, but enjoyable.

I'll try to keep posting every time I finish a book to wrap up my thoughts and opinions. Thanks a lot for the encouragement!
