Soup and bread is genuinely great if you have them available and don’t want to put effort into cooking. It’s the right kind of simple and hearty thing that helps when you feel run down

The second-biggest cryptocurrency split in two becaue some people just decided to undo transactions. The transactions were absolutely theft, but the point is that some people just decided to change what the ledger said.

40 miles per charge, for those that haven’t read it. That’s enough for a return trip on a whole lot of ferry journeys, though. Certainly a good chunk of the major ones where I am

An electric hydrofoil ferry, no less!

“Well I thought you were all real, genuine clowns. Very disappointing.”

Should be this one https://xkcd.com/610/

You do have a number, it’s just not written down! It’s that a full circle is 360 degrees

• Let x + y = d and w + z = e for easier writing
• We know d + e = 360 degrees (a full circle)
• d = e, so 2d = 360, so d = 180 degrees
• The angle AOB = d, and d = 180 degrees, so AB is a straight line

The actual maths is really easy, the bit that I assume is tripping you up is the realisation that you have more information than the words of the question

I think it’s just not really in the spirit of the event. It’s not meant to be a completely serious athletic endeavour, it’s a bit of fun and fundraising. They’re getting 2,000 people of all ages on to a tiny island with a population of 61 to chuck some stones across a pond. There doesn’t seem to be a big cash prize or anything. There was a raffle to win a wheelbarrow described as doing “0-3 mph in 1 second”

Here was me thinking that Toss Master was the one to go for

I think I can skim a stone farther than I can throw one, given a good stone and flat water… and a few attempts. I’m definitely not getting remotely near 60m though, that’s wild

Aside from that this article only comes to the conclusion of broad implications and the author himself says he used both interchangeably in his book, this is an American source and the headline for this post is British. I don’t know about American Engkish, but there is no expectation of a stone being worked by humans in British English. In common usage here a rock is generally bigger than a stone - I’d say whether you can throw it one-handed is roughly where the extremely fuzzy line is - but you could absolutely just pick up any small piece of stone from the ground in nature and call it “a stone” without anyone questioning it

Tom Scott’s game show! https://lateralcast.com/

He has always had a real love for game shows and has done quite a few different ones over time, but Lateral seems to be his main project just now. The format is dead simple, it’s Tom plus three guests (usually other youtubers or podcasters that he has met throughout his career) taking turns asking the each other some kind of a question that requires, as the name suggests, some lateral thinking to puzzle out

Every time video game things come up on Lateral he’s more or less stumped because he has just never been into games, which is totally fair enough, but I feel like if he were going to enjoy any video game at all it’d be Portal

Ignore me, I was misinterpreting it and others have explained it Presumably being less orange in some way. None of it actually means anything, all of Orange’s words are a parody of that incel terminology. Orange is naturally less orange than they would like to be and is going to some lengths to become more orange, but doesn’t think that the results are convincing to others and that they will never really be orange in the same way that Green is green

Wait what the fuck, they really did switch a bakery over to drone production and put them on a conveyor belt like that

Is your bunker pineapple-shaped?

Isn’t that what the different G force limits at the end are about? Like, 10 G is way beyond what is survivable for that sort of duration, so it’s provided as a lower limit for the time

It’s worth noting that there are several other Grok personas besides Ani. If he’s only engaging with / posting the Ani stuff but not the others, that’s something of a smoking gun to me

I’m basing that on just transcribing the text and putting it into google translate with “detect language” turned on. That said I also assumed it’d be a Slavic language too, but I don’t think any of them use the ү character that’s in the second word on the second line, whereas Mongolian, other Mongolic languages, and Turkic languages often do when written in Cyrillic. The first word is “avtomashin”, but Mongolian got that word from Russian

Edit: transcriptions

Автомашин

• тай бүх зургийг сонгоно уу

Roughly Romanised, just using Wiktionary’s versions (I do not know how to pronounce any of this myself)

Avtomašína

• Tai büx zurgiig songono uu

Assuming I’ve got that right, it’s quite definitely not Slavic

And then the machine translation from Mongolian

Car

• Select all images with

It seems like it’s Mongolian, if that helps you figure it out at all
