I have this as a sticker on my water bottle

Just noticed in euclidean geometry, for any two line segments touching at a point there is exactly one triangle you can draw, i.e. a triangle is uniquely described by any two of its legs. In spherical geometry, there are two choices for the third leg!

I don’t think there’s any consistent association between side of the road and side of the escalator. E.g. within Japan, I think either Kansai or maybe Osaka specifically does it opposite to most of the rest of the country.

I went to a trivia night at a local bar with a guy from high school and his family. We were in contention for the top. The whole night I was useless, since most of the questions were about European sports legends or actors or singers from the 20th century. The guy starts feeling up the last question:

“This is a tricky one and one of my favorites. Going to the realm of technology… What is the name for a unit of measurement, named after a Disney character, which is related to how far your mouse moves?”

The whole family looks at me, cause I’m known to be a tech guy.

Complete blank. Flustered. Uhhh uhmmm it’s called DPI? Pointer speed?? Is there a Disney character called Peter Pointer?..

We lost. They were disappointed, but not as disappointed as I was in myself.

Went up to the trivia guy at the end to ask him to show his sources. He pulled up a legit looking wikipedia article so I accepted my defeat.

Sequel to cocaine bear looking good

you can make it sort the first k elements and it will still be O(1). Set k high enough and it might even be useful

Last one is the derivation of the quadratic formula by completing the square

Aren’t pants a sphere with two holes? (A double torus?)

Edit: a 3d pair of pants is a double torus, a 2d one is a sphere with three holes

Young and impressionable kids? I started playing the original MW2 when I was 11.

Really into these dutch invasion memes eh?
