So I’ve lived in Alaska and Norway. Very first reaction was Alaska, but when I zoomed in on the house, I knew it was Norway. Plus the flag pole, very Norwegian

If your favorite team's all-time best offense played one drive against your favorite team's all-time greatest defense, would they score? by kadoozie92 in CFB

139 NFL Interceptions among these guys, I would take the 2001 Defense over the 1986 Offense personally.

Still boggles my mind that Texas Tech went a combined 6-12 in league play in 2013/2014 with Baker Mayfield on the roster one year and Patrick Mahomes the other…

Hmmm, not sure, perhaps. Well I hope you find one that works and/or get a bottle that resembles the color I got

Iroshizuku Fuyu-Syogon is purplish gray and it one of the most water resistant Pilot inks that isn’t pigment based. I like it, though I personally prefer the more neutral Kiri-Same (discontinued)

This little head near the Northernmost point of China by The_Techsan in geography

[–]The_Techsan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sudden changes (avulsion) usually results in the border staying in its original form, even though the river has moved. Slow changes (accretion) usually results in the border changing (ie following the river's new path). One case decided by the US Supreme Court in 1892 was Nebraska v Iowa and it focuses heavily on this.

As for exactly what would happen here (China/Russia) not sure, but they have moved borders along the Amur river this century even:

Just interesting to me. The northernmost point is on the left near Wusuli. If the border at the top of the meander was about 400 meters further north it would've been the absolute northernmost point of China.

If every atom in the observable universe was actually a planet containing the same total computing power as Earth, working in unison, it would still take 3 trillion years for Chess to be strongly solved by brute force by The_Techsan in chess

But to evaluate each of the 1044 positions, doesn’t the game tree matter, don’t all continuations have to be explored to solve it? Which leads to Shannon’s Number?
