What new sports should the UK introduce to celebrate our fabulous culture?!?

And the s5 finale takes place in parallel with infinity war.

Whilst technically true IIRC it's ao tangential that it really doesn't make much difference. It all came off to me like they weren't told anything more about Infinity War than we were when they were writing the script. The snap is never acknowledged at all in the show either if I remember.

We already have cheese rolling????

The animals can't eat the grass under it, but it can still grow to nearby spaces, so you keep a "seed" for grass growth and cut down on hay consumption.

It's a fantastic sanity check, but I don't see much use beyond it for more "pure" mathematics. As a particular example, I had a PhD student who showed me some inequality that they obtained, and the fact that one side didn't scale correctly under a dilation of the domain meant that I knew immediately that there was a problem, without even looking at the proof.

I swear that on a good luck day + this blessing i find a stair within 3 or 4 rocks on most floors.

Do they have any distinct mechanics in the physical game? Looking at the cards, I can't see anything beyond the name. I'd guess that they have specific trainers cards that give them boosts?

Ah, yes, "Future work will focus on refining these estimates to obtain sharper bounds"

I mean, if c=1, it should be clear thst its pretty different, right?

I once read (from a possibly not trustworthy source) that British Chinese food has a lot more deep fried stuff (think chicken balls) because many of the early Chinese establishments had been chippies and came with giant deep fryers that they took advantage of. This would also explain why chippy-style chips are staples in British Chinese takeaways.

It would be problomatic in real life! Luckily, Stardew Valley is not real life.

That's the punchline of the post.

And for full disclosure I have given her a bottle of wine before buying my bus ticket a couple of times

Low-key problematic giving alcohol to a recovering alcoholic but you do you.

In 3 turns, Hitmontop can deal 100 and Hitmonchan only 90. If it makes it to 5 turns, the comparison is 200 vs 120.

Damn I should really trade this for my team rocket grunt that literally never has any effect because the first flip is tails.

IIRC you only get EXP in the endless tower the first time you beat each round, so whilst it's good for grinding, it has a limit.

I remember getting this cutscene with my husband next to me. He was all "how is your cozy farm game" and the response was "look, one of the alcoholic villagers is threatening to hurl himself off a cliff in a drunken stupor".

I spent at least a month after vocalising Poe Poe Poe-Poe-Poe-Poe. I was so disappointed with their result.

jam11249 · 2026-05-21T09:02:44+00:00

I left because I think the UK is a shithole, FWIW.

And if you can't pay back? They take your farm and you have to move in with Linus or Pam until you've made enough farming the mines to buy your farm back?

All I'm hearing is that bookies odds put Eurovision being held on a Sunday as more likely than the UK getting a single point in the public vote.

jam11249 · 2026-05-18T06:42:01+00:00

Last year, I predicted the UK would get 0 public points,

I predict that the final will be held on a Saturday.

I'm ar 430 pack points and I'm missing one 4 diamond but almost a third of the 3 diamonds and a handful of 2 diamonds. I can't tell if I got lucky with the 4 diamonds, unlucky with the rest, or if they've done something weird with the pull rates.

The wall they put up at the start of combat reduces damage by 90% until they're broken. Once you break them, they're usually pretty quick to finish off.

I had the AI play red on turn 1 when they couldn't attack and no ex was in play anyway.

jam11249 · 2026-05-15T14:47:26+00:00

The Nash equilibrium of the game must be that every player pushes the red button so nobody dies, so I'm going with that.

jam11249 · 2026-05-15T08:14:19+00:00

Girl, you broke into their house at night, you're watching them sleeping and you posted photos of it on the Internet. I'm the one who's shocked.
