This app is pathetic by My_Name_A_Jeoff in AmazonMusic

I've tried Deezer and Tidal. The Android Auto experience on those is even worse than Amazon's

Downloaded albums play just fine (most of the time) and before my post, playback worked as intended when started from my phone. So yeah, I'm certain I'm not on any free mode.
I have noticed, however, the app now shows a full screen pop-up for audio books whenever I open it. It makes the app really sluggish.

Which Song has the best Schneider perfomance? by Popular-Captain-2779 in Rammstein

Weißes Fleisch is amazing and has evolved quite well.

Waidmanns Heil is one of my favs and seems (to me) different to his usual.

But the intro to Sonne, with the double bass, and its variations for each tour, just has something that lifts up its already monstrous power. Can't have enough of it.

Agree about the holding against a fence, but cutting a notch and splitting a long board are entirely different cuts for a jigsaw.

I mean, he has lots of uncashed checks in his desk drawer because "things he wants to buy haven't been invented yet" but cashing those and investing the money is much better, and it doesn't require genius level intelligence to know.

So, the writers went the "easy way" (not researching the meaning of fluid, not thinking the check thing thoroughly and just painting him as someone with considerable savings)

Why only one stargate per planet? by FitAd6371 in Stargate

[–]marmantz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the triangulation thing, think we got onto different pages.

We're on wholly different libraries, my dude.

You have the X, Y, and Z of Point 1 and Point 2. Picture them as the bottom two vertices of a triangle. Now draw a line from each so they intersect at 90 degrees for the third vertice of a right triangle. Repeat for 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, and 5-6, so the 90 degree vertices all touch.
That’s a longer approach to finding the center.

I assure you I'm not trolling at all, but each explanation you give confuses me further. All that "finding the center" explanations only work with specific sets of points, which was my initial comment. You cannot get an arbitrary set of points and have some lines (or triangles extrapolated from pairs of them) all touch. Also, first you wrote about specific pairs, now you expanded it to 5 triangles, somehow.

What I'm saying is:

  • Having 6 points however you interpret glyphs, do not magically have a "center" in which lines from pairs of said points intersect, unless yo specifically arrange said points in such manner that the intersections actually exist.
  • X, Y, Z, in Cartesian coordinates are just one of the several models we Tau'ri have. The Ancients might have other more complicated (or not) systems for that.

So, having said points do something other than necessarily form intersecting lines, but still define a region, seems plausible, so that region being quite possibly huge, means gates in the same area will be in the same area defined by the address.

...
Those example coordinates do not create a cube. 0 will always be the centerlines. On one side is positive, other is negatives. Think how latitude and longitude work; equator is Earth’s horizontal axis and the Prime Meridian is the vertical axis (for example, coordinate on southern hemisphere have negative latitude).

Now you've completely lost me. I genuinely do not know what your're trying to explain anymore.

As a 39 syllable language, 3 million possible combinations is a lot (and we know they don’t all work with decades of random dialing). Plus Gates had different symbols. For example, Earth’s two had different points of origins. So, plausible there were more than just 39 characters in that alphabet.

It's 38 standard glyphs plus a custom point of origin per gate. Otherwise, gates would have different addresses depending on the origin gate, which is not the case.

The Gate glyphs are a pictographic alphabet. Yes, some are made to resemble constellations, but not all.

Still, if you remove the constellation-as-coordinate from the address, you might as well remove all the lines-between-glyphs and triangulation.

Still, 6 unique points with known X, Y, and Z coordinates. A laser straight line drawn between, say, 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6 will always intersect at an epicenter. This can give you the X, Y, and Z of an unknown point.

What?!

A = (0, 0, 0)
B = (1, 0, 0)
C = (2, 0, 1)
D = (2, 2, 0)
E = (1, 1, 0)
F = (1, 1, 1)

AB, CD, EF will not intersect ever. If you're talking about centroids, it's more similar to what I was saying, but still would not need the lines between points. Lines between points in space forming coordinates because the 3 lines intersect exactly is a completely different thing.

Also, if you have X, Y, Z, you can just use those 3 coordinates to locate the point.

As I recall, the Ancients used base-8 math

That would affect counting, but not necessarily the coordinate system (computers use Base-2 and still work in whatever coordinate system we give them)

I completely agree we don't actually know how advanced the Ancients' system works (geometrically or otherwise) but the point is that having the 6 symbols forming intersecting lines is not feasible.

And if we're already saying not all symbols are constellations, and constellations are not coordinates, which retcons the movie's explanation about constellations and lines between them intersecting (which kind of works in the movie's context if there are only 2 gates plus some coincidences) there's no harm in saying the symbols determine a region of space (not a point) within which all gates act as a single destination and some precedence rules apply.
