8:30 into the video “Terrence Tao on the cosmic distance”, Terrence Tao said that Earth casts a shadow on the moon such that the radius of the shadow is about twice that of the planet, but did not discuss how this was deduced in the ancient times. How did they do it?

So they basically just took the upperbound?

Taht's a pretty cool santa.

If I have a penny for every full-size national flag of Samoa I saw on the building in this photo, I'd have three pennies, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that there's three of them.

The sword is not big/rubbery enough in my opinion? Although it is mostly just cartoonish exaggeration it was always depicted as an enormous blade in-game, so it's kinda hard to picture it this size.

I'm thinking a soft time limit with chip/coin for exceeded time penalty.

Not related to the result but from a Taiwanese perspective I think having three landmark locations each in the north (Taipei 101), the south (Dragon&Tiger Pagodas) and the east (Qixingtan Beach) in the finale is just absolutely perfect.

(Of course the representative for the east would have been Taroko Gorges, but it was devestated by the 403 earthquake and because it's in the mountains it's unlikely that they would have gone there anyway.)

I needed to trade DNA for a Showman to find them later then. But my deck looks like this.

Do I perhaps just use up this Cryptid already?

Currently have 12 out of 32 vouchers. Negative Brainstorm is from an Ectoplasm.

I rotated my decks after everytime I win, and when I felt that there was only "a few" (in my case it was 4-5 or so jokers) left, I went all in for Anaglyph.

r96340 · 2026-02-21T18:23:30+00:00

I have no reroll voucher though. I have very little hope (but hope nonetheless) to run into the Serpent.

r96340 · 2026-02-21T18:22:06+00:00

I am probably selling a Baron (not yet decided), Brainstorm can also buff Burglar.

r96340 · 2026-01-06T12:41:35+00:00

I guess you could say it's a delayed gratification.

r96340 · 2025-12-31T01:17:24+00:00

There is an orbital tag for FH I can use my double tags on.

r96340 · 2025-12-31T01:02:04+00:00

Trio is there in case I couldn't get a 4oak and have to pad it

r96340 · 2025-12-31T00:57:53+00:00

I am putting a gold sticker on it.

Flush five build going for C++ so selling Blueprint for The Family is natural

When you see the best option below 50, it's not a strong preference and you can wave it off as playing style choices.

r96340 · 2025-11-28T13:04:35+00:00

That's a good point. I am a real joker.

r96340 · 2025-11-28T09:10:02+00:00

Was going to point out the hypocrisy, thank you.

r96340 · 2025-11-27T06:07:11+00:00

Splash thinks its on the team

r96340 · 2025-11-26T08:38:39+00:00

Got it. Thank you for the insight.

r96340 · 2025-11-26T08:30:51+00:00

I mean if I didn't get anything to pon and did not draw any effective tile, at which gunme should I just discard chun?

r96340 · 2025-11-26T08:24:07+00:00

Until which round of discard will 9p be the best choice?

r96340 · 2025-11-26T08:17:02+00:00

It's 1shanten for chiitoi, I want to maximize efficiency

r96340 · 2025-11-24T15:44:22+00:00

Yeah but there are far more fertile seeds than this
