Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My actual hint is to think about what you did in the previous few levels with making line segments of specific lengths.

That part I can do--it's getting the angle correct. I can get the lines in the right length with the compass 2 tool, but somehow the angle's not right. I think I might have had another idea, though, lemme try that.

Horrifying.

My favorite Kimmel/Celebs reading mean tweets was the one from a while back with Jennifer Garner.

I did it! I was one circle short for placement. Taking a transcription break may have helped.

Think congruent triangles.

I made some vegan brie. It was supposed to solidify and didn't, so it's more of a sour cream consistency than a brie consistency, but it tastes really good. (The recipe uses agar to get it to set, and I think I'm heating the agar wrong, but I'm not sure what the problem is.)

Ok, awkward question: I'm stayin with my sister for the weekend ( seeing my mom post-cancer-surgery). Her house is three stories. They keep the cat boxes on the third floor (where the guest room is). The second and third floors stink of cat piss. I'm not sure if they don't realize or just can't figure out a way to fix it or what ( it may also be related to how warm it's been, and how the A/C is very cool downstairs but needs a separate window unit upstairs). Do I just go buy some febreeze while they're out of the house??

With Oz tending to pee everywhere, sometimes I don't notice for a couple of days. But I am super paranoid that my house might smell like cat pee. I frequently ask my friends who haven't been over in a while.

Are you close enough to your sister that she won't flip out? I would mention it, as nicely as possible...maybe even jsuit bring up the cat(s) and maybe she'll mention their peeing problem.

I'd check the litterbox first (see if it needs changing), but I'd ask about it. Febreeze won't do that much, especially if it is an actual peeing problem rather than just popourri du pee (believe me, I've walked into my house after being gone an hour when it is hot and been aghast I hadn't been able to smell the rank box before.)

But then "Jesus KEERIST WHO FARTED?!" is an acceptable greeting in my family, so we're pretty open to that sort of critique.

Yeah, it's embarrassing to them, but better to know (or just be able to apologize for your pissy cat) than be unawares.
