The problem is that a lot of the people that attend sporting events come from the 905 areas outside of TTC service. There are commuter trains to those areas, but they taper off as the limits of "working late" are hit.

Oh, maybe! I didn't understand how it chose the points, but it does look like the random convergence approach.

Nice, thanks!

I'm disappointed that none of them seem to have gone with the random convergence approach.

Set the three corners of an equilateral triangle. Pick a random starting point on the canvas. Every iteration, pick a random corner from the triangle and your next point is the midpoint between the current point and that corner. While the original point is almost guaranteed not to be a point in Sierpinski's triangle, each iteration cuts the distance between the new point and the nearest Sierpinski point in half.

If you start plotting points starting with (say) the 50th one, every pixel is "close enough" to a Sierpinski point that you see the triangle materialize out of nothing. The whole thing could be programmed in about 20 lines of QBasic on DOS 30 years ago.

My biggest beef with playing it on SteamDeck was related to network connectivity.

I was playing at home and went a long way from base. Then I had to take my daughter to a class and threw the Deck in my backpack to play while I waited for her to finish.

The game opened, said it had lost the connection to the server and killed me. I respawned back at base, thought about how far I'd need to walk to recover my body and noped right out of there to play Vampire Survivors instead. I never returned.

That was a couple of years ago while the game was still in early access. If it's now possible to play offline, I might give it another go. (It's a nice game.)

I may be remembering incorrectly, but after the 2019 Supreme Court ruling that federal courts can't address partisan gerrymandering, a couple of blue states (New York and Illinois maybe?) tried doing some gerrymanders after the 2020 census. Then their state courts struck them down.

Several blue states -- I think Washington and Oregon are among them -- created non-partisan redistricting commissions before 2019, so they can't be gerrymandered.

They installed efficiency modules to reduce biter expansion?

The article summary in the post explains that it will be transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation just before he leaves office. So it won't be available for future presidents.

I find this funny, since I did a Gimp tutorial back in 2000 (early Gimp 2.x maybe, but maybe still 1.x -- I don't remember that part). I got okay with it.

A friend asked me to do some early photo editing a couple of years later since they'd heard that I was "good at Photoshop". I pointed out that I was actually "mediocre at Gimp". I was plunked down at a computer with a (probably pirated) install of Photoshop and asked to touch up some photos.

I hated it. Nothing was where I expected it to be coming from Gimp. If I recall correctly, I closed Photoshop and just downloaded Gimp for Windows.

It sounds like I might hate Gimp 3.

Huh... That sounds like the 16th century anabaptist argument (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anabaptism). This is almost a coherent argument from the sovcits.

Almost.

Poland that that me espresso.

Wow... Indiewire should find someone who reads their own site to proofread their articles.

If you click on Jeff Bezos's name, it links to other articles mentioning him, like the 2021 article saying that he would step down as CEO of Amazon in 2022, which is what happened. Yet this 2025 article refers to him as "Amazon CEO".

Sure, he still owns a lot of Amazon stock and nobody knows who Andy Jassy is, but getting facts that that wrong is pretty ridiculous.

False. The Liberals are generally centre-right even within Canada. Your compass is off.

Your Newtonian physics argument is nonsensical and frankly rude.
