if anyone is curious, this is the actual code for this 4 line function in a paper

reading a paper and thinking LaTeX was a mistake

you might notice the ± used as an argument, also used as a superscript on a subscript variable, and also used as a return value, along with ∓

which means -1 or +1 as a return value

i did wonder why the nuclear reactor had "no clear plastic" signs

it's because they could fall into the fuel pond, and they're very hard to spot

as it was on the way, we stopped at the house covered in chain mail.

in all honesty i'm not really a fan of charles rennie macintosh stuff, so i'd never bothered to take a look despite it being basically next door, but i guess the chainmail is cool

a turbo roundabout is just a spiral roundabout with lane separation, and yeah they do exist

the magic roundabout is more that there's an inner contraflow lane on the roundabout, rather than being made up of several subroundabouts
