On: Notre Dame Cathedral reopens

[dmoo]

I visited Notre Dame the first time I was in Paris, stood in the queue, climbed the stairs and took the photos everyone takes and have positive associations of the trip. The age, location and the view all help make nice memories that I guess many visitors feel. Victor Hugo & Disney probably add to that for others.

If you are in Paris, there are probably 10 other places with more historical relevance.

Notre Dame got to hold the French record for number of selfie sticks per m^2.

I moved to Notepad++ after Brief mainly because of proper column select. This is just so handy when you need it.

That’s an unfortunate attitude for a guy looking at a stretch with not a lot to pass the time…

Any reason to assume they would move in a consistent direction?

[AlbertCory → dmoo]

If you have a settlement of 100's, some of them will move in almost every direction.

That seems irrational…

At least he kept his cult real

[scarmig → seasox]

It seems pretty limiting for a cult, though. You can't count all the members he left out of it.

[mjhay → scarmig]

Sounds like a complex situation.

[continuitylimit → scarmig]

well, if this cult doesn’t work out for you there is always reddit.com with less “limitations” ..

[mayd → seasox]

Most would call it surreal.

[selcuka → dmoo]

I believe the whole story is imaginary.

[belter → selcuka]

There must a right angle to look at it...

[RHSman2 → belter]

Bravo

[jaredsohn → selcuka]

or at least more complex than described

[r13a → jaredsohn]

Unless the story has some transcendental meaning ...

[Cyphase → r13a]

Only if you're primed to see that.

[nopurpose → Cyphase]

Don't you think this discussion is tangental to the topic?

[throwaway167 → nopurpose]

Do you assume a point exists?

[nopurpose → throwaway167]

You are free to make approximation like that. Really, whatever floats your boat.

[Cyphase → nopurpose]

I think that's hyperbolic. It seems like a natural digression. I think you're just being negative.

Put another way, this discussion certainly has more than an infinitesimal relation to the original link.

[scarmig → Cyphase]

This seems like a pointless back and forth; you all aren't going to be able to square the circle here.

[jdechko → scarmig]

All math is derivative anyway.

[brutusborn → nopurpose]

Discussing the history of Pythagoras under an article on the history of his most famous theorem?

I think you have a very high bar for relevance.
