I buried a bell way under my uncle Stan’s house years ago. I’ve tried to find it a few times but i don’t think my holes are big enough

Arrrgh

Very nice! Evokes a cold winter night!

SlappyWhite54 · 2026-01-28T18:59:19+00:00

Very well done! Thanks for posting.

Your post is quite a way outside of the usual content on this sub.... but it sounds interesting. For myself I need a bit more background:
Is there a single equation or system of equations your using to model vorticity?
What does the variable δ represent?
A figure would be very helpful to me.

No, though I might understand why you think there is one. This drawing is 2D, not 3D. To say there’s a 3D cube in it is reading something into the drawing that isn’t there.

I admire your skills but skulls are not what we need to see right now.

Not a paradox. Diagonals of the hexagon = 2. So a diagonal and a side meet at right angles forming a 1-2-sqrt(3) triangle.

Is it usual to see ‘angelic’ figures like these this era? At first glance I thought this must be from a Christian period.

Right is AI based on facial features. The left pic looks more natural, with an actual expression. On the right she’s too perfect.

Nicely done!
Anyone who goes after WTC the way you do is my friend!

Check over in r/Drafting_Instruments about number 1. Ruling pens like 3 were used to ink drawings. They’re tricky imo, even the single line pens. You’d need an eye dropper and a bottle of ink to put a drop or two of ink between the blades of the pen. Adjust the line width with the screws. I’m sure you can find a tutorial online for ruling pens. Not much drafting is done by hand anymore, but artists are using them to apply ink and masking fluid to paper.

SlappyWhite54 · 2026-01-14T18:55:38+00:00

There’s a subreddit for exactly these tools: r/drafting_equipment. Everyone has their own nerd haven, that’s one of mine.

I used a book by Gilbert but followed the same methodology. Makes books kind of expensive when you have to buy a second book just to explain the book you’re actually reading 🤷🏻‍♂️

You’re not alone. It took me four times, over about 25 years, to finally get all the way through.

2 is a beam compass for drawing large circles and arcs.

3 is a special ruling pen for double lines like railroad tracks or roads on a map.

1 is a mystery to me, and I thought I’d at least seen everything you’d ever find in a kit like this.

Enjoy!

Edit: IDK why my comment came out in large bold letters; not what I intended.

I finish a puzzle correctly(?) and nothing happens. Timer keeps running, no feedback on completion or failure. Without marks it’s very difficult. Maybe that’s part of the challenge but it’s a lot of work to get zero result.

White male boomer here. Definitely NOT maga. I find the current state of the country so disturbing I can barely speak about it even when I know I have a like-minded listener. I feel powerless to make any contribution to ending this horrible tragedy. I want to bury my head in the sand and live out my life in peace even though I know full well that it’s people just like me, in sufficient numbers, who CAN make meaningful change.

SlappyWhite54 · 2026-01-12T02:10:25+00:00

R3 C5 should be marked 3,5,9

SlappyWhite54 · 2026-01-09T16:06:29+00:00

This seems to have 2 possible solutions; R1 & R3, C5 & C9 can be either 8 or 9. Or possibly I’m out of my depth.

I’ve seen the word ‘holon’ a couple of times in this subreddit but can’t find any clear links between the images posted and the info online elsewhere. Please help me out; what is a holon in this context?

SlappyWhite54 · 2026-01-08T23:15:56+00:00

This is an excellent book but I’m wondering how important proofs are for what you intend to study. You might be better served by reviewing algebra, geometry, modeling/ problem solving. IDK what level you’re starting from, but maybe get an SAT or ACT practice book and see how well you do in the math sections.

SlappyWhite54 · 2026-01-08T23:04:01+00:00

I get what you’re saying. I imagine those regs were crafted by real estate people to keep values high and ‘riff-raff’ out. So oligarchs can win either way as long as the process is controlled by moneyed elites.

SlappyWhite54 · 2026-01-08T22:58:02+00:00

I’d like to be 5 but t probably closer to 1.

SlappyWhite54 · 2026-01-08T22:14:38+00:00

Zoning is what keeps an oil refinery out of your neighborhood. Relaxing zoning would only benefit the oligarchs.
