Job hunting is a god damn jungle, so everything that works in your favor goes. But I do think you owe Bob a beer over dinner.

I think I haven't played a single skirmish round of Company of Heroes 1 without the Blitzkrieg mod in the past 15 years.

You're not getting burned alive but its hot enough that you're constantly sweaty.

The demons don't actively torture you but they are going to jump you when you turn the wrong corner.

You're not there for eternity, it's just really difficult to leave.

You don't eternally burn in the flames to atone for your sins, but you have to work to pay them of.

Shit I think I just described San Francisco.

Something I haven't seen mentioned here is the fact that sweat acts as a lubricant between the skin of your torso and upper-inner arm preventing chapping with increased skin-on-skin contact movement.

The girl got hammered and drilled too on that day.

Because it's brainless to write one and sells well enough. There are literaly AI generated children books.

"God, why do you give me your hardest character development?"

"Because you're my most boring person."

I think in Massachusetts they just throw a glas bottle at you.

Also it doesn't matter if the rich people just give themselves access to the taxation funds.

Is it a high refresh rate monitor? Had artifacts once on a monitor that had an "overclock" mode that ran it at 165 hz instead if 144 hz. Once I turned of the oc function it stopped.

It really doesn't matter, this is just text on your screen.

I'm not fully sure, but I think I truly despise women. But they play such a minor part in my life that it really doesn't matter for me or them.

Edit: Just to clarify. I'm 100% certain that my feelings towards women will actually never badly influence anyones personal life. In fact my and other women's lives are so far appart that excluding family, a single coworker and few store cashiers, the last time I've actually spoken to a woman face to face was a few months ago. And that was just my friends sister. Excluding that, it's been maybe a few years.

If I were to disapear it would make absolutley no diffrence in any womans life, vice versa if all women would disapear, it would barely make a difference in mine.

That's why it really doesn't matter.

Pagers for Hospitals.

Nah, it was damp.

To be fair, a perfectly fine but dead body is impossible to observe since the process of dying is usually the result or accumulation of injuries or disfunctions. For this experiment you either have to kill somebody without altering their body in the slightest or instantly conjure a perfectly intact body without any life in it.

You know what's more crazy. Electrons don't flow at the speed of light through a wire. Current is like Newtons Cradle, you push one electron in on one side and another bounces out on the other side, that happens at almost light speed. But individual electrons only travel at roughly 1cm per second trough a wire.

That's not really the limiting factor for pyramids. If you were to build a shape of equal height, say a cube, then yes this would be the main issue.

What are the failure modes for a pyramid?

• A 45° pyramid can't tip over since it's center of mass is always sufficiently far enough from the bottom edge. So tipping isn't one.
• I'd say bending through cross winds is also not an issue for a pyramid unless you make it out of jello. So that's also not a failure mode.
• Crumbling of the bottom layers because of the weight of the top layers is definetly one.
• Uneven foundation strength can cause the supporting area to be weaker in some spots more than in others, so that's another failure mode.

I'd say the crumbling and Foundation issues are heavily mitigated by 2 main factors.

1st:

The outer edge is always of height zero. As the pyramid grows in height it also gets wider, but the only point that is at risk of imminent collapse is the very center of the pyramid, since it is the only point that will reach a critical supporting mass first.
Let's say the pyramid reaches a height and the furthes block at the bottom in the center crumbles (let's assume it actually turns into straight up dust). The clumbled block will still support some pressure but will also transfer it laterally into the adjacent blocks (essentialy like a liquid). Now the main question is "How many adjacent blocks does it need to support one crumbled block?". If the answer is ≤1, than you have no problem, because with each new block in height, the pyramid also gets 1 block wider at each side. Similar to water pressure, the lateral force the blocks exhibit will increase linearly with height therefore never outpassing the increase in pyramid width. If it's >1 than you will reach a point where the outer walls of the pyramid will start to collapse from inside pressure, and that will be your limiting factor for height.

2nd:

The blocks can be cemeted together, so whatever forces are being transfered laterally will not only be supported by the adjacent blocks, but also blocks adjacent to them and so on, and so on...
Same thing goes for uneven foundation strength. The local decrease in support will be spread over a wider area because the blocks are merged together. Also Pyramids are usually not build block on block, but with a 50% offset, which will further aid to stabilize the structure.

Usually, If you look at mathematical calculations for things like sky elevators the form to support the structure looks like a symmetric reciprocal function. This function actually requires way less material to support the weight of the center piece of the structure than a pyramid. So not only could a pyramid essentialy support itself until earths centrifugal forces take over, it would also be way too overkill in doing that.

Especially on your chin.
