Because compiling data is a thing that I do sometimes, and making things pretty is a thing I do all the time, here’s a nerdy Pokémon infographic breaking down the distribution of types among the different generations.

Interestingly: • Water is far and away the most common type, yet the generation that added the most new Pokémon (Gen V) has the lowest number of water Pokémon. • Gen I has half of all poison Pokémon. HALF. The next closest percentage is 30% of all dark Pokémon in Gen V. • Every generation - even tiny little Gen VI - has the most of at least one type (some are tied for most).

Imagine voicing the most iconic character in all of video games for like forty years and fucking Chris Pratt takes your role once you finally get a big budget movie

[averyterrible]

But the voice people can physically escape the sound of their own voice. We do multiple voices. We used to save producers' asses, because they'd hire you and say, "Well, we were going to get six people, but we can't afford it. Can you do this, this, and this?" And you'd do them, and they'd be perfectly happy, and they'd save a bundle of dough. Now, it's the exact opposite. The minute they mention a CGI film, they're already looking to see what Renée Zellweger is doing. They're already looking to see what Billy Crystal is doing. This doesn't make sense, to do what they do—spend zillions on visuals, and then have this totally fucking flat-lining voice track. You know, "Hey, I'm Will Smith, I'm a clam! I'm Will Smith, I'm a kangaroo!" All you bring to the performance is your own ego. They're just being themselves.

Given these constructions, there is no maximal volume. The volume approaches infinity as the angle approaches 90 degrees.

In fact these formulae are unrelated

the lateral height of a cone is the length of a line segment from the apex of the cone along its side to its base.

try harder.

I’m a math grad student I don’t deserve to be humiliated like this

[twocubes]

sorry, it was either you or me :V

[rolling-on-caffeine-and-code]

I think? But I’m only at undergrad level in mathematics, so feel free to point out if I f@*$ed up. I was never particularly amazing at geometry.

[twocubes]

this is entirely correct; very thorough too :3

also this should entirely be accessible to anyone who’s done just enough calculus to talk about maxima and minima of continuously differentiable functions, which means either high school or undergrad calc, depending on your educational path; don’t be so worried ;p

(incidentally you could have skipped from h=l/√3 straight to the answer by using arccos instead of arctan but arctan is a nicer function anyways so w/e)

16 entrepreneurs and not one of them has managed to come up with a system to keep the kitchen clean, the shared living spaces functional, and the beds organized in such a way that one person isn’t crammed into a broom closet and another doesn’t have to risk a broken limb climbing a hastily propped stepladder every night?

[slipstreamborne]

I can’t get this freaking house out of my head, so here, have some floorplans.  I think it’s formally a 3 bed, 2.5 or 3 bath home, with one bedroom intended to be used as a study and an open concept penthouse space meant to be used as a sun/family room, movie room, and workout space (or maybe a play space).  

Floor 1:  Featuring a living room where half the house at most can sit and watch TV, a giant table taking up the center of the space with like 3 stools, and a mismash of long tables in what was probably intended to be the formal dining space, now a “coworking space”.  Lots of junk and boxes everywhere.  Shell (#1) has retreated into a closet under the stairs to sleep.  Judging by the cardboard taped onto the door (to block light from a crack?) and the sound cancelling headphones, this isn’t the quietest place to sleep, but at least it has a door.  I think they used to sleep on the extra mattress on top of a second closet on Floor 4 but finally had enough. No clue what’s in the back corner.   Hopefully laundry, given 16 people live here.

Floor 2:  Featuring the kitchen that nobody can keep clean (ONE KITCHEN for 16 people who appear to work from home no wonder there are ISSUES), a security camera to catch dirty dish goblins, the saddest table ever, two huge double-door closets that nobody uses in favor of just leaving their stuff everywhere, and what was once probably a very nice study with a fireplace and built-in shelves, now a “triple” bedroom for Donna (#2) and “a couple” (#3 and #4).  There’s a door, but it’s se-through, so so much for privacy from anyone passing through on their way to higher floors.  

Floor 3:  Featuring another “triple” bedroom home to another couple (#5 and #6) and Nick (#7).  Not sure if there’s a box window seat running the length of this bedroom or a bunch of dressers that nobody uses.  Camilla (#8) lives behind a mysterious closed door.  There’s few other indications about the layout of this floor so I like to think Camilla has the biggest bedroom all to herself, and that she’s smart enough to keep the door closed when Entrepreneur #16 decides to film the place she lives for the entire internet to see. 

Floor 4:  Just a fucking mess of dividers and skylights.  Treya (#9) and Andrew (#10) are battling for space, with a divider “hallway” between them so the rest of the house can access the patio through one set of French doors.  Poor Riley (#11) is forced to climb an unsecured step latter propped against the wall of a closet to go to bed. Georgie (#12) and Emma (#13) of “Grind Central” are probably the smartest behind Camilla, because they have a huge space to themselves and a divider for privacy.  The TikTokker Will (#14), Justin (#15), and Jackie (#16) have this HUGE space that could have slept 6 or 8 Big Brother/America’s Next Top Model style, but Jackie has Camilla tied for smarts, claiming the raised platform of the former movie room as their own, using the dividers to forge themselves a semi-private sleeping space with no pass-through traffic and THREE windows looking out on the city. 

Think this looks great? Don’t worry, there’s a spare mattress on top of the closet in Grind Central ready for you to be roommate #17!

(Somebody with Sims skills please build this and reorganize things to show these entrepreneurs they don’t have to live this way).

Other notes

- This is 224 E 83rd in Manhattan, and a floorplan is available online (matches up pretty well with the one above)

- The rent is listed at 18k for this place, so despite cramming 16 people in here, they still pay over 1k each if they split it evenly. I really hope Riley is not paying 1k for this.

- I successfully reorganized this household in the Sims to sleep EIGHTEEN entrepreneurs
