This research work is remarkable.

Ha, respect for the commitment. The sandy texture makes sense: that powder is mostly sugar and citric acid, so the acid tightens the egg proteins fast while the sugar crystals never fully dissolve and just sit there like grit. The sulphur note is probably the eggs reacting to the acid, so you basically got Hi-C with a side of hard-boiled egg. 😅

Definitely dig up that picture if you still have it, I need to see that pink-orange scramble. Did you actually finish the plate, or did it go straight in the bin?

To launch an object 420 km (45° shot, no air resistance), you need a launch speed of v = √(distance × g) = √(420,000 × 9.81) ≈ 2,030 m/s, close to Mach 6. That requires an energy of ½·m·v², or about 2 million joules per kilogram regardless of the object's size. For a 100,000-tonne power plant, that comes to roughly 2×10¹⁴ joules, the equivalent of two to three Hiroshima bombs. A trebuchet with a 500 m drop would need about 80 million tonnes of counterweight, and its arm would snap, since it would face about 30 GPa of stress at the tip against the 1 to 2 GPa steel can withstand. A classic catapult is therefore impossible, and only a 10 to 100 km electromagnetic launch rail could do it, provided the plant, subjected to 2 to 200 g, is cast as a solid block.

For a 6th grader, I'd start with fractions, which trip up a lot of kids at that age. Slice Fractions is a real puzzle game where she learns by slicing objects, so it never feels like an exercise, and Motion Math does the same for fractions and percentages. If she takes to those, DragonBox Algebra is the natural next step: it teaches how to isolate the unknown through puzzle rules, which is closest to the "Angry Birds" idea of learning by figuring out how the game works. For science, Poly Bridge and Cut the Rope give a feel for physics without her noticing. Prodigy Math is a fun hook if she likes RPGs, but it's closer to classic practice in disguise and pushes the subscription. My advice is to start with just one game, play with her for a few minutes, and see if she goes back to it on her own. Hope this helps!

Welcome back, Rev Ned, and thanks for sharing your work. Citing the *Principia Discordia* in a "Christian worldview" class is a fitting choice, since the text was written to make people question belief systems, itself included. I'm curious how you handled it respectfully, and how your professor and classmates reacted. A Google Drive link works fine for sharing, though a PDF copy with the speaker's notes would be easier to keep and open anywhere.

I think it's reasonable to separate two questions: whether Versailles actually ends the conflict, and what obligations the U.S. has for rebuilding afterward.\
 If the ceasefire holds, a reconstruction fund could be a practical way to help ordinary Iranians while creating more sustained ties between the two countries.

Hello everyone,

My name is Morgan Le Grand, I am an analyst-programmer and I have just joined the forum.

I am interested in computers, online games and Internet culture. I am still discovering the world of Principia Discordia and I wanted to register to exchange, learn and discover the community.

Looking forward to reading you and getting to know you.

Is thinking for oneself inherently valuable?  What if I'm a dumbass?

Thinking for oneself seems like it could be valuable in some situations and a hassle in others. It probably depends on the scenario.
I know myself to be a fool, so I seek to learn.
