What do they gain by continuing the war?
It’s hardly in Russia’s interest for their sons to die, their equipment to explode, and their economy to crumble. It’s self destructive, which it has in common with capitalism, but worse than that it’s a genocide of the Ukrainian people.
Plans are in motion. See you at 50501 on Wednesday.
Russia could foil all those plans by simply ceasing the invasion and going home.
By my estimation, of those 126: 80 are a win for X (or whoever goes first), 30 are a win for O (or whoever goes second), and 16 are a stalemate.
So the number of losing positions depends on whether you go first or second.
Good point. There’s only 126 filled arrangements that are valid game states.
There are only like 500 losing tictac toe scenarios max.
Three positions for each square (X, O, or blank), 9 squares: 3^9 = 19,683 possible game states.
Of those there are only 512 combinations where the board is compete: 2^9 = 512
Of those 512, only 16 combinations results in a win for either player. Meaning there are only 8 losing scenarios and 496 stalemate scenarios.
There are people who are categorically opposed to forcefully compelling people, and many of them use the word ‘authoritarian’.
It can be a useful term, not all systems are equally authoritarian. It’s a spectrum.
Sure, but novels, paintings, and songs are traditional arts, they are art first and foremost.
Also sometimes their spouses, like a lot more than the average amount.
For over a decade every one of my wallpapers was an Aenami piece. They’re just so dang cool.
V762 Cassiopeiae: am I a joke to you?
Isn’t the choice between removing england or getting the soda? You can have your England and drink it too.
Whiteness, at least from a racist perspective, isn’t really about skin color, it’s more like a club for ‘approved’ ethnicities. There’s many Italians with darker skin than Mexicans, but Italians are considered ‘white’ and Mexicans are not. Same for large parts of the Middle East and Asia.
Romani are white skinned Europeans, but they’re not ‘racist approved’, so they make up rumors they’re actually from Egypt and omit them from the White Club.
The determination for what counts as white is highly inconsistent. Before the 1700s Germans were not considered white. Before the 1800s Irish were not considered white. For a time in the 1900s Finnish people were considered Asian (while many Finns were striking for better working conditions, what an odd coincidence). Italians weren’t considered white until about a hundred years ago. It goes on and on.
Heck, they can mind control people, wipe their memories, or take a potion and assume their identity. It would be like fighting the Face Dancers from Dune if they were all trained in The Voice.
He’s the second oldest overall, only Jimmy Carter beats him in age.
Like 10% of all housing sits vacant, the lack of supply in the market is not just a lack of units, it’s also a strategy by investors to keep prices high.
