This isn't even half as cool as what else it can do.

This pool is a great way to demonstrate Fourier Series.

The principle is that any shaped wave can be reproduced through a summation of appropriate frequency/amplitude sine waves.

I've seen them create hearts, even kanji characters with this pool.

I agree with you that their plight has been exploited, certainly by the U.S., without really getting real, long term benefit for themselves.

No state wants to legitimize them because there will be an immediate influx and then they'll just legislate their independence (or fight for it), once they got big/established enough.

When I saw that we were arming the Kurds again to potentially fight Iran, I was wondering if we are not just creating another Al Qaeda scenario for ourselves. That and, I wondered if they would just start fighting Turkey instead

How many stateless groups are there outside of the Kurds and the Armenians?

I don't even know how to begin to resolve what the modern Middle East looks like. I would love to prevent the large groups from just destroying the small groups, but then I feel like haven't we fucked it up enough already, with our meddling?

So what do you propose?

What country is going to just give up land for another culture?

Look at Israel/Palestine, because that has worked out soooo well.

The U.S. is fucked up, but you can't blame the U.S. for everyone else in the area shitting on the Kurds.

He is her daughter's Godfather. They haven't talked since the story broke.

She even recently sang a song at a concert, that contained references to him, but apparently she changed the words, essentially writing him out of it.

-Source is my wife who is a huge Tori Amos fan.

SNL does a good job at least.

I did not give a shit about NSFW games but I fucking hate cebsorship.

Go GoG, I'm going to buy one from them now!

... for the protest of course.

Only people from Chicago give a shit about what other people put on their hot dogs.

New Yorkers don't give a shit.

There was a brief moment, while I was going through SERE training, in the Navy; it was before we were "captured" but long enough that I hadn't eaten in a while. We were in the low mountains of SoCal, dry and hot. Whenever we would stop movement for a moment and take a seat, I could smell when an ant was on me.

I didn't recognize what the smell was at first until I saw an ant, after smelling it. I hooked him on my finger and brought him close to my nose and it was clear, he was the source.

I couldn't describe it very well though, not a common smell to me. Never experienced it since.

Maybe it was the combination of no food or bathing, and heightened stress. My SiL also went through SERE, says she has no idea what I was talking about, and just makes fun of me about it. But she's also the type of person who would lie about it, just to fuck with me.

So who knows.

Taiwan made a sarcastic comment.

Essentially calling out their policy of "Territorial Integrity", they told them to take back land they gave to Russia

Hot take:

China has lost all faith in Russia. Is reorganizing to reflect that.

And maybe is even considering Taiwan's advice, lol.

How does that piece of shit cop sleep at night?
