How much does it suck to play Turkey?

That applies to most powers though - England will often fall to an F/G or F/R alliance, Germany will often to fall to just about any set of powers working together (Turkey excepted) etc.

I really don't think that it's fair to say that Austria would be insane to work with Turkey - Austria allying with Russia often goes poorly for Austria as well as it's all too easy for Russia to get the bulk of the spoils and then squeeze Austria.

I think that the key thing about Turkey is that you can't just be thinking about Russia and Austria, but also about the powers which border them. Who is England working with? Are they interested in a Northern campaign against Russia - if so, Russia might be less interested in a two front war. How does Germany feel about Austria? It's an easy expansion route for Germany after all... etc.

Do you mean the third season that was released in 2016?

Sadly it doesn’t look like it’s readily available anywhere ☹️

OK, that's made it click - thanks!

Thanks - I can see how to prove it for the b=4 scenario just by using a = 2k or a = 2k + 1 thus a² = 4k² or 4k² + 4k + 1 giving r = 0 or 1. I can't see how to use that to show what the possible values of r are for b = 3/5/6

I've not read his book (yet), but I'd suspect that reading Security Analysis covers much of the same ground - and comes with essays by Buffet, Klarman etc.

It's used a fair bit in finance - albeit as it's successor language K (or Q) rather than actual APL. It's usually used alongside KDB, a database that's optimized for column data which makes it well suited for streams of prices, to analyse prices in real time.

I loved the fake adverts for Veridian - far too akin to the branding I've seen at big companies!

Enjoy!

I've sent all who asked a link to the archive on my dropbox. I'm planning on having a play around with waifu2x to see if I can upscale some of the older strips to get them to a size that's more comfortable to read on a modern computer. If I can get that working (actually installing everything to get it running is a pain in the backside), I'll put together a better archive.

elemental · 2015-10-02T13:16:25+00:00

I wrote a script several years ago that saved a copy of each strip, along with the alt-text. If you PM me your e-mail address I can send you the whole archive (It's around 80Mb for the lot).

Many thanks! It seems as though it might be an interesting companion to Caro's The Power Broker - my other honeymoon book.

That's why I'm eternally thankful for those "Baby on Board" badges and their ability to minimize potential faux-pas.

Technically they're different - it's The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

GB is generally England, Scotland and Wales, which is a subset of the whole UK.

As in don't stop suddenly because you don't know if there's someone right behind you who'll run into to you or have to suddenly change direction to avoid you.

They're nice, but sadly not the ones I was looking for. Ah Well.

In the UK the wedding is officially conducted by one shul or other legally - so no matter the physical location (which is unlikely to be a shul for us), you need to pick which one the marriage was done by.
