The fact that me and a coworker can't both share our screens at the same time is absolutely batshit. 1x1 collaboration isn't even reasonable, nevermind anything more

Ah, gotcha. I knew that was II back there but I didn't recognize Brandon Toews. Thanks!

That's really II? I didn't realize he was non anonymous

I opted out of this over a month ago, still opted out.

Wonder how long they've been doing this ....

For the curious, like me

I don't know that non-lawyers need to figure out exactly what it means, but in an ideal world: if you pay for something that includes a continuation of services and the services stop continuing, you should be compensated fairly. I am not smart enough to word that in a way that can't be worked around, "gotcha'd", etc. but I'm guessing the spirit of the rules is fairly common ground for anyone who isn't trying to rug-pull a service out from under those they sell it to.

For the first example, absolutely. If some execs have a meltdown, it could change future services but anyone who was promised Disney+ on their Tesla with no limit on it should get a fair refund. I understand that there's a slippery slope argument here, and no– the value of Disney+ in a car isn't 100% the value of it. But it's BS that a manchild having an Internet meltdown loses people a service they had and "paid for"

Also non Euclidian! Hexagons (the bestagons) also tesselate and fix that problem nicely

Heck yeah, I'll try my best!

So on a euclidian chess board, moving your king one space left would be 1 space, one space up would be 1 space, and one space diagonally would be √2 spaces (some simple trig gets us there).

Chess however, does not obey the laws of Euclidian geometry nor does its physical representation show us things to scale. A king's move diagonally is the same amount of space as a move side to side, 1 space.

It's silly, because spaces weren't directly supposed to represent distance or anything, but it's funny that it works out this way

Dude, same. The worst part of my recent should surgery was the lack of caffeine all day (bumped from noon to 4 pm surgery). That first sip of recovery room coffee was incredible
