How is a zig-zag numbering any less valid than any other method? Your mapping a two dimensional space with what is essentially a line. Sometimes it doesn't make sense for there to be discontinuities in the numbering, as one would have to do if the numbers always incremented in the same direction. Would you prefer that the numbers follow the path of a Hilbert Curve?

To answer your question though, surveyors have been using this method to number sections of land for much longer than you or I have been alive.

No, not against just him, against the entire party supporting him.

Because vector graphics take up much less space. That's the joke.

Now I'm going to put the joke out of it's misery.

Most of the illustrations, formula, tables etc. in a math book could be vector graphics, most of them were in 90% of the upper level math text books I've ever had, usually in only 2 colors. Many math formulas can be represented and formatted directly using only Tex or LaTex. Mostly physics and math involving more than two dimensions would have more raster images, even color. But it's not like the publishers are going to be handing out PDFs with original vector graphics embedded. That would make high quality knockoffs trivial.

Thumper (Bambi) is a rabbit.

Hazel (Watership down) is a hare.

The crouching guidelines were never about avoiding being stuck, rather about reducing harm if you are incapable of reaching a safer location.

So, given your work history, where do you stand on the Clerks deathstar contractor debate?

I feel like all the photos this singular animal has suddenly appeared in pretty much proves that if cryptids like Bigfoot existed we'd have much better photos evidence of them.

Same reason anyone has played any of the thousands of games that predate "the cloud" or games that don't even have a save feature. Cloud saves? No thanks, never have, maybe never will.

Besides, if you're not paying for the service, you're the product not the consumer.

Wow, what a dumb and toxic take.
