Don't forget about fire. Even the most boring of moves amaze crowds when half your equipment is burning.

They're not wrong. Assuming alternating hands are doing the throwing (rather than both hands throwing a ball simultaneously), 4-ball patterns mean each ball is in the air for 4 beats, while 3-ball patterns only take 3 beats each.

And once one realises that many juggling patterns can be understood by the number of beats each ball takes to return to a hand, one can then think in siteswap (https://juggle.fandom.com/wiki/Siteswap).

Isn't interoperability of messaging one of the goals of the Digital Markets Act?

Given the environmental impact of disposable vapes (the littering was awful), some places have already implemented bans. The UK's ban came into force June 2025.

> They don't because too many people pirate games to make that a viable business.

This is what we've been told since time eternal but it seems more likely that those pirating are those that wouldn't be inclined to pay at all.

> direct costs of the exchange up front

Isn't that fairly easy to estimate? If they're showing you a buy rate and a sell rate, you know the interbank rate is going to be pretty much halfway between the two. I don't think anyone's changing money and thinking the bureau isn't profiting.

> you will miss quite a lot of valuable things

Arguably, the lack of medical evidence tells us that this is in fact not a valuable thing.

> Let's say I have a religion that, as part of practicing it, restricts my diet. > If I try to make you - a non-practitioner - eat that diet, then your reply makes sense. It's a personal matter; I don't get to force it on you or anyone else.

In the UK, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find restaurants whose meat is not halal. One could argue that a religious diet is in fact being forced upon those who do not practise Islam.

> green card holders and H1B workers, who can still visit the national parks at the lower price

But only until ICE detain them, right?

Sheep on the Town Moor would be a new one. The Freeman of the city have herbage rights for cattle, which are a frequent sight.

> "herbage right" means the full right and benefit of herbage vested in the resident freemen and widows to graze cows on the Town Moor;

> Things dont fall to the ground because the earth pulls on them. Earth is pulling in the space around it, and those things come with it.

Gravity wells aren't pulling surrounding space toward their centre. They're only pulling other masses that occupy the surrounding space.
