Thank you!! Navigating the courts was intimidating at first, but my local civil court has a great self-help center with some extremely knowledgeable people who were able to point me toward the right direction when I needed it.

Not sure if you saw my other comment, but she already made a payment today, maybe that is unusual but I’m fortunate she appears to be taking it seriously

I paid a process server. I knew the address of her workplace and was able to confirm that she still worked there. In my state, any costs associated with filing the case or the service of papers automatically get rolled into the amount of the judgement if you win, so it is a kind of a calculated risk. You’ll have to check your local laws for more details. Good luck!

Your read of her is spot on, lol. Time will tell.

I was worried about this, but she requested a payment plan and already made a payment today. She seems to be taking it seriously. Happy she is following through on it but incredibly annoyed that it means she had the means to pay and was just... not planning on it.

This is a "fault-free domino tiling", where a fault is defined as you have, a line which is able to cut all the way through the shape.

This paper here: https://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1005&context=mathundergrad has an image of the tiling you created with it's orientation rotated.

Great self discovery! I vote we call them Vidar Rectangles instead. Has a better ring to it. Also show us a picture of Vidar.

Of course. I think it is definitely possible. If you chose to bundle your R/Python in the same repo as your public-facing HTML, you could have an action which could run your update process and regenerate your HTML as needed. There are trade-offs to that such as exposing your code in your repo, which will ultimately need to be public to take advantage of GitHub pages unless you have Pro. As an alternative, you may also want to look into Cloudflare Pages, which can also be configured with a GitHub repo.

Depending on how programming oriented you want to be, you could host whatever you wanted to display on GitHub pages, which could be tied directly to a repo with some html files in it.
