Vcs já pararam pra pensar que o atleta negro americano Jesse Owens entrou mais fácil na Alemanha Nazista para disputar as Olimpíadas de 1936 do que o atacante iraquiano Aymen Hussein para disputar a Copa de 2026 nos EUA?
nan mais la performance de pas pouvoir citer UN SEUL film que t’as regardé alors que t’es au festival de cannes mdrrrr on dirait que c’est une question piège

lettermatchd - find letterboxd users with the same top 4 favorite films as you (or any other user)
the probability of someone with the EXACT same top 4 as you is nearly 0, so you can also check for 2/3 films overlap––litmus test for film taste obscurity lol

The question you asked was exactly what I asked myself when I first entered the University of Ilorin campus as a 100-level student. I looked at the road stretching from the school gate to the academic area, twisting and turning, and I wondered: "Why stress us?
Why didn't they just pave a straight line that would link us directly to the Faculty of Education?" Several people gave me funny responses. In fact, some even said it was for aesthetics, others said it was to prevent overspeeding.
It wasn't until I got to 300-level and was introduced to Engineering Survey that I got the answer. It's a technique called Gradient Management.
If you build a road straight up a steep hill like that, the slope becomes too sharp. A car engine has limits. If the road is too steep, vehicles will struggle to climb, and heavy trucks will roll back. Coming down is even more dangerous because gravity will pull you down so fast that your brakes might fail.
To fix this, we intentionally make the road longer and windy to reduce the steepness. Think of it this way: It is easier to walk up a gentle ramp that wraps around a building than to climb a straight ladder. Winding the road spreads the height over a longer distance, making the climb gradual and safe for engines.
Also, a straight line through a mountain means you have to blast through solid rock or fill up deep valleys, which costs billions. And as you know, following the natural contours of the land is not only safer; it is way cheaper.
So in short, we are just using Geometry to defeat Gravity. You get?
@8OMani@DigitalGanon je trouve pas ça pertinent de trouver un compromis je préfère quand ils misent sur un aspect (les talents d’acteur de préférence). Avec les compromis tu peux te retrouver avec quelqu’un de presque ressemblant et de presque bon
