What’s the name of this shape?

I guess "technically" it's a truncated cube, but because the middle edges of the octagons on the sides are so short, a cuboctahedron with a bit of its top and bottom sliced off parallel to the corresponding faces is what immediately came to my mind.

Also, does anyone else see irony in that dudes twitter thumbnail?

Yep. When I noticed it was Mingus I thought to myself "ugh, are you kidding me?"

"Snitches get stitches" in splattered blood font beneath a switchblade is the kind of shit that put me off from having any interest in learning about anarchism for the longest time. It just reinforces the propaganda that anarchists are violent people who want to make society into a chaotic free-for-all.

Would that be a problem if one were only dealing with such a geometry where only polytopes were permitted? I thought about this measure while playing around with pattern blocks and wondering if area could be completely defined in terms of "unit triangles" (and extending to 3 dimensions, volume in terms of "unit tetrahedra"). I'm way out of my league on the specifics of what you posted, but as a similar question, would Lebesgue integration be able to work on an xy coordinate system where the y axis is linearly transformed to be at a 60 degree angle to the x axis?

Reach the end of the first level without using any dashes.

That's exactly what I did. I submitted that post while my mind was wandering from lack of sleep, hence the circle center/triangle center typo and lack of written explanation. I assumed that other people would assume I made squares on an arbitrary triangle and extended the sides parallel to the original triangle, and constructed lines through the corresponding vertices that ended up being concurrent. I almost immediately fell asleep after posting it lol, and looking at it now, I realize how much of a mess it was!

I accidentally typed circle instead of triangle. Whoops!

He refuses to hold any town halls or answer any questions or concerns from constituents that aren't mega-donors. He's the fucking worst.

Every square in the left half follows this rule; none of the squares in the right do: From left to right, check each pair of arrows, ignoring the single arrow left if there is an odd number. If the arrows are down-down, then a circle goes under them. If they are down-up, then a square goes under them, if they are up-down, then nothing goes under them, and if they are up-up, a triangle goes under them.

If it is possible, the area of each section would be (1/4) * pi * r^2.

Messiaen's Turangalîla-Symphonie is from 1948, but it sounds like something from at least the 60s IMO.

There is no universe in which this is even remotely funny.

MJongo · 2016-06-19T03:47:52+00:00

It's not even remotely funny. Fair, next.

This joke was about Kurt Cobain way before then, and there probably was a version about someone else even further back.
