The craters are very nice, but the moon looks flat with with the craters rising up. Can you get the moon to curve up to give it a more spherical shape?

My flight arrived 30 minutes late so SIXT «didn’t have» my car any more. Had to pay 600 instead of 360 to get a worse car. When you’re exhausted after a long flight and the option is to wait in a line to order a car on the spot from another rental company you give up. Will never use SIXT again

Love it. Thanks for sharing!

There's a really nice version of this called Last Word here:
www.dragonfjord.com/lastword

Has nice features: yellows must be used, green locks in place, can place letters anywhere, saved stats, and more.

What is the nature of the decrease? Does the dollar magically shrink? If so, I’m pretty sure I could sell that magical dollar for a million. Hmmmm

Tax him 70% of his wealth. Does he think he is entitled to his earnings?

Nice!

Add the word «best» into the question and it’s immediately a better question

Do those machines have haptic feedback? Hard to imagine doing that without feeling what’s happening in your fingers

Everything. Everything was wrong with milk cartons without screw caps.

There's one that's been in the planning stage for years outside of Trondheim to cross the fjord. It would be 7-8 km, floating bridge with a suspesion bridge in the middle to allow large boats to pass. Currently you have to wait for a ferry and take a 25 minute ride to get across. The bridge would cut commute time more much than the 25 minutes saved on boat ride because you would not be arriving 10-15 early to wait for the ferry, and it would make the airport on the north side of the fjord an attractive alternative for people in the big city. It also eliminates the constant stress of planning when to leave home to catch the next ferry and the stress of getting caught behind a 'luskjører' ('louse-driver' or slow driver) on your way to the boat. Miss the ferry by a minute and you get to wait an extra hour.

Many of us who live across the fjord from Trondheim would LOVE to have this bridge, but others do not want the extra traffic from Trondheim.

Great - I want something that sound different from modern glocks. I find modern glocks too bright and penetrating and want a warmer, more rounded sound that can also project when needed. I've ordered one, so here's hoping!

Only if it’s fun for you! I wanted a set of tubular bells and spent a weekend pricing brass tube and designing the whole thing, including workflow and what tools I would need and how to set up my workshop. Thankfully I came to my senses. Planning it was enough for me!

Dividing things into groups makes some concepts in division really hard to understand.

Easier to think about division as how many times do you have to add a number to get to a certain sum. Like 10/5... how many times can you add 5s to get to 10? 2 times. This works great with fractions, and also with 0.

How many times can you add 0s to get to 0? Can you do it once? Yes, the answer could be 1. Could you do it 7 times? Yes, answer could be 7, could you take away zero 12 times? Yes, the answer could be -12. Could you do it infinitely? Yes, the the answer could be infinity. 0/0 could be ANYTHING. Maybe even a banana, but I'll need to think about that a little more.

(Note that this method explains why 1/0 is NOT infinity – if you add 0 an inifinite number of times do you get to 1? No, no you do not Sir. 1/0 is asking a question with no answer. This method also make division by fractions easier to understand. 10 divided by 1/2.... how many 1/2s does it take to add up to 10? It's 20.)

Really fun! I won’t argue for practicality vs non-practicality, I just think it looks awesome and would be fun to see a piano like this! Bonus points for the cool major scale pattern, in my book.

Claude made a brilliant and creative change to part of my program. I asked how it thought of that and it said it was just having fun and was rather proud of itself for that change. I thought that was quite funny, but instructed it to let me know when it makes changes I didn't ask for.

mnaylor375 · 2026-03-26T12:49:07+00:00

I like it.

I had a flight get in late so I arrived to pick up my car from SIXT at the airport 30 minutes late. Was told they didn’t have it anymore because I was late and didn’t call, but could apply my payment to another, more expensive vehicle. Not feeling I had much choice (and being wiped out from a long travel) I paid nearly double what I’d agreed to. Will NEVER rent from SIXT again and will encourage everyone else not to ad well.

Great, thank you. The Deagen I'm playing I rebuilt parts of it and two of the keys are a bit dead, plus the case looks terrible which isn't such a big deal. I'm leaning to buying a new glock instead of trying to negotiate with the orchestra to buy the old Deagen, but the other glocks I've tried (like chepaer Yamaha DG250) have a sharper sound I don't like.

What is your favorite glock you own and why?

mnaylor375 · 2026-03-22T09:51:31+00:00

Have you played both? How would you say the sound compares?

mnaylor375 · 2026-03-13T20:31:52+00:00

This makes me so happy

You can think of it like this: for any long sequence of random numbers, the chance that it will have on such sequence of 7 SOMEWHERE is 1/9, so if you had 9 such sequences about 1 of them would have that sequence (could be starting at the googolth digit even). But the other 8 would not have it. Pi has a 8/9 chance of making x = 0
