Why not rotate the 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 measures by 90°, 60°, and 45° respectively? Now they are symmetric and still stack nicely.

This is actually the sandwich problem, which states there is exactly one slice that will split a sandwich of 3 elements into exactly 2 halves regardless of the shape or position of those elements. We don't need the full proof, but the problem is continuous, so any desired ratio is possible, therefore you will always be able to slice an apple into exactly 1/3 and 2/3rds "good bits", so a single slice will always be able to do the job.

It's been added to OEIS already https://oeis.org/A268236

Still think they should have gone to A123ABC instead but I guess it's fine.

Anyway I'll probably hack together an implementation to see if it actually works like I think it does

The standards for eggs are really strict in Japan, eggs are so safe already that eating raw eggs is a commonly accepted practice.

10kV static discharge and 5kA @ 1mV would like a word.

Fwiw, they do make (natural) gas powered clothes driers.

Think of it as the Mac appstore VS the Windows App store. Mac apps (flatpak) are the same as desktop apps, but sandboxed, the store isn't intrusive, and people found it convenient, so it was fine. Then the windows app store (snaps) launched and it did basically the same thing but slightly worse, except Microsoft (canonical) forced it down its users throats, so people hated it.

Both camps are right, from a technical perspective, snaps are fine, but philosophically, it sucks, and the Linux community cares way more about the latter than the former, otherwise they'd all be running windows.

I didn't come here for a perfectly reasonable explanation, I came here to be angry!
