The Arts: Octoberloween icon time!
Raaawr, mysterious forces have conspired to turn me into a dragon it seems! Water durgy!

If the dragon form sticks around then their/her name will be Petrachor. :3
I improvised 90% of this thing.
(The one on the right is my previous icon.)
((Also boosts okay if you want to))
I need to start trying to run a weekly RPG group again. (The previous group faded out because it ended up just being too difficult logistically.)

Let's leave the idea that anything about the Self has to be static -- or even consistent and comprehensible -- back in the 20th century where it belongs.

If I name three consecutive outcomes of a coin toss (for example, Heads Tails Heads), and then you name three consecutive outcomes, and then we flip a coin until one of those triplets comes up, it seems like there's no way to get an advantage in the game.
There is, though: when I name my triplet, take the middle value, reverse it, and add it to the beginning, discarding my triplet's last value. So when I name HTH, you name HHT.
Astonishingly, that's a winning strategy around 75% of the time.
minecraft, accessability [3/3]
It's interesting to me that these players managed to make a really good example of how "not thinking about accessability" excludes people.
"Everyone has and uses the wings," they thought. But they didn't consider the people who found it difficult. Or people who didn't have wings yet. Or people who had wings, but they broke because things in minecraft break after a while.
minecraft, accessability [2/3]
Except: one hermit who was on the server less regularly expressed recently that she was unable to get from the lower area to the upper one, because she struggled to take off from flat ground.
Two other hermits joined the server, and they found themselves stuck in the upper area, because it's too far of a fall and they had yet to get wings.
Nobody had thought to put in a staircase. Someone planned on putting in an elevator, but never got around to finishing it.
minecraft, accessability [1/3]
An interesting example of people not considering accessability in digital spaces:
On the Hermitcraft server, several hermits made a nether hub to link up various different locations. It has a "lower" area, which has nether portals for the main map, and an "upper" area, which has high-speed ice tracks for travelling to stuff that's very far away. To get between the two areas, you just fly using your wings.

Why are sets always so happy and excited?
Because they can't contain themselves.

programming theory talk
@hntooter the accepted answer is misleading if you're not paying attention.
A regular expression cannot detect a valid regular expression.
An Extended regular expression (like the ones most people use nowadays) can detect a non-extended regular expression.
The third answer is the correct one: https://stackoverflow.com/a/172363
