I love geometric art and I've often thought about number 28. I've done some of the patterns by hand and it was really eye opening to see how complicated they were to set up. You need to make an absolute ton of construction lines for even simple-looking patterns.
Be thankful that you and everyone you know are stupendous badasses, as explained by Neal Stephenson in Cryptonomicon:
“Like every other creature on the face of the earth, Godfrey was, by birthright, a stupendous badass, albeit in the somewhat narrow technical sense that he could trace his ancestry back up a long line of slightly less highly evolved stupendous badasses to that first self-replicating gizmo---which, given the number and variety of its descendants, might justifiably be described as the most stupendous badass of all time. Everyone and everything that wasn't a stupendous badass was dead.”
Sometimes I think wistfully of Geronimo and his tiny beaver harem, and imagine that they're still out there somewhere, doing beaver things. Good old Geronimo.

These are so good i immediately want to read the previous years. (You should add links to them!)
Good idea, done!
Nice, absolutely love this, will be discussing many of these with my family at the dinner table tonight.
I don’t buy the conclusion to 26 though.
♡, please report back on the family consensus on 12.
Thanks and have a great day.

Love you, Dynomight, you anonymous scoundrel. Happy Thanksgiving.

Great stuff. Too bad leaded gas wasn't banned throughout the Middle East until late (last country to stop, Algeria, only in 2021).
I don't think people appreciate pain medicine nearly enough.
♡ (Did you know that piston airplanes still today use leaded fuel in the US?)
Yeah. :-(
I'm peak lead, as discussed in https://bit.ly/3OcU2Kv
Lovely article
