i assume they mean this definition, and not a hairdresser's.

probably most of them do. epubs are mostly html after all.

there's some niche communities i occasionally check in on on reddit, but i've basically abandoned the site ever since the api debacle killed my preferred app. i mostly just browse on mobile so a decent app was important to me.

allow me to introduce you to misotheism. my favourite take is that of famed mathematician Paul Erdös, who referred to god as the 'SF', which stood for 'supreme fascist', who he said horded all the best mathematical proofs for himself.

i'm in my mid 30s, live in the US, and get one or two points. i am pretty sure i've never recorded music off the radio onto a tape. i am not sure if i've ever sent or received a fax. i did record songs off of the radio directly onto my first mp3 player though.

an exception to what?

but you were certainly thinking it loudly. or how else was one to interpret 'people from the 18th century wouldn't be able to do something if it was technically challenging'?

a noose or an axe both put much more need on the skill of the executioner, while the guillotine puts more need on the skill of the engineer. both the axe and the noose are materially simpler, but still very fuckupable without special skills or training, while the guillotine, once built, is much more simply operated by one with less expertise. the guillotine is a tool of mass execution, and its apparent mechanical complexity is there to facilitate that, via ease of operation and resetability.

i'm actually curious what they think the third color is, cause, at least where i am, grocery stores almost always have green, red, yellow, and orange.

if we assume the bottom right corner is a right angle and is the center of the arc, then it is solvable in the manners that others here have already described. if either of those is not the case, and the image itself doesn't state, then there is insufficient information to solve it.

when i got ghosted by my job, i wish i'd started looking for a new one sooner, before burning through so much of my savings.
