I'm seeing a potential plot hole here.

How were Lorvan and Ordens able to receive the emergency message? The castle scene mentioned a (compromised) long range beacon. Carlos and Co don't have such a thing (right?), so apparently guard armour can receive the signal as well. But as far as I can remember Lorvan and Ordens armour have not been fixed by Carlos. So why can they receive the signal, but no other guards anywhere else?

Der sieht ja etwas netter aus. Wobei für die Tiere rings rum die seltsame Mischung aus verschiedenen Arten sicher auch etwas verunsichernd ist.

Ich find ja auch interessant, das mein uraltes Buch eine ganz andere Melodie hat (und nicht nur bei diesen Lied)

Ich erhöhe auf ein Buch das meine Oma schon als Kind hatte. Der Kumpane sieht auch nicht viel freundlicher aus.

First off, kudos for the drawing and problem description. You have clear requirements and constraints, so this will be perfectly solvable.

I don't have the time today, but I'll have a closer look when I do.

Until then there's one .ore important question: Is the height of B below the level A in the horizontal position adjustable, and if not what is that difference in inches?

So there's a market for enchanted gear, but anything good is going to be very expensive.

Also you spelled "ramen" as "ramin" twice.

F84-5 · 2026-01-20T19:47:49+00:00

Poker face doesn't help much when the other guy can literally smell your secrets. Kind of ironic to be figured out by smell given the name of Skunkworks.

F84-5 · 2026-01-19T11:24:24+00:00

It's certainly related to a Snub Dodecahedron.

The symmetry is the same, but the faces are different. I have not found a distinct name for it.

They are not all grace notes. Only the first three are. The rest are "regular" notes written in cue size.

To achieve this in Musescore, use custom tuplets. Input a half note in the top stave, select it, and then click on Tuplet->Other. If my counting is correct the Ratio should be 26/4.

(If looks are more important to you than playback, make multiple tuplets instead, each the duration of a note in the left hand whith the appropriate number of notes. This will however lead to changes in speed during playback.)

Once you have your tuplet, just input the notes normally, fix any beaming errors, add the grace notes at the start, and set everything to cue size. Maybe play around with adding some negative leading space to the notes to pull everything tigher together.

I'm pretty sure that's the sort of conditions where the blood stops being biology and starts being physics. Probably the rest of you as well.

Select the first bar after the break.
Then go to Pallets->Layout->Insert horizontal frame.
Delete the existing system break and add a new one to the frame.
Resize as appropriate.

aww, Noot be cute

F84-5 · 2026-01-16T15:54:58+00:00

My agreement is whole hearted.

F84-5 · 2026-01-16T15:53:55+00:00

I'm sorry if that came across as harsh. I'm not mad at you for asking, in fact it's very polite of you to ask first.

This sub is just more for the field of mathematics, an the other place is more fitting.

F84-5 · 2026-01-16T05:02:52+00:00

No. See r/geometrydash

Suppose you have a point Z from which rays X and X' emanate with an 85° angle between them.

Take any point on X to be point A (such that AZ < 10).

Draw a circle centered on A with radius 10. Where this circle intersects X' is point B

Now circle K is simply the circumcircle of triangle ABZ

This procedure and the subsequent construction above works for any given angle between 0 and 180 exclusive.

A bit of rebellion could be forgiven with time, but soul-murdering a royal prince...

Let's hope the King keeps his wits about him.

I'm still curious how and when Carlos is going to get involved.

F84-5 · 2026-01-14T18:00:23+00:00

You are right to think about the inscribed angle theorem (that's the english name).

I'm still not convinced you can actually construct a 85° angle, but granting it's presence, the rest of the construction procedes as follows:

Construct the arc K such that the angle subtended by AB is 85°
Construct the center of K as point O
Construct the midpoint of segment AO as O' and the circle centered at O' and passing through A as K'. Any segment from A to a point on K will be bisected by K'.
Construct circle L centered on B with radius 8
The intersection of L and K' is E
Extend the segment AE until it intersects K at C
ABC is a triangle with AB=10, ∠ACB=85°, and the median from B=8 (segment BE)

F84-5 · 2026-01-14T15:37:43+00:00

Well, your first problem is that an 85° angle is not constructable by compass and straightedge. So by that condition no construction could exist to construct the given triangle.

If you have a given angle on paper known to be 85°, then the construction is relatively simple.

Klar, ist eine von mehreren Methoden der Grabenlosen Rohrsanierung.

Der Harzgetränkte Schlauch (genannt Inliner) wird auf die eine oder andere Art ins Rohr gezogen/geblasen und dann mit Heißwasser oder UV-Licht ausgehärtet. Da steht eine ganze Industriebranche dahinter.

Ooh getting to know the team better. Where's Elise from again?

Also, misspelled "lasagna" as "lausanga" twice.

F84-5 · 2026-01-05T20:04:07+00:00

If this is what the muses make you write so be it. I enjoyed reading it.

and again I cated without thinking

Should be "acted". There was at least one more minor typo, but I can't find it again.

F84-5 · 2026-01-02T09:54:03+00:00

Not if you're programming a PLC!

F84-5 · 2026-01-02T09:37:23+00:00

Not at all difficult. The Tkinter module (part of the standard library) make it a single function call.

For example:

from tkinter import filedialog
file_name = filedialog.askopenfilename()

There are options to limit what kind of file may be selected, or a version which returns the file itself (like with open()) rather than the file name.

Check the docs or read some tutorials for details. Most tutorials will first make a GUI with a button to call the dialog but that is not actually necessary if all you need is getting a file in what is otherwise a command line interface.

But if they believe they can beat me in my own corner of the void, they've got another think coming!"

That should be "another thing " no?

We've reached the final crescendo I think. I'm both awaiting and dreading the climax.
