1. “Call upon all your knowledge. Produce fascinating trivia.

Cool for: Thinkers, Historians, Trivia Freaks

Encyclopedia makes you a know-it-all, turning your mind into a database of facts. It enables you to draw on these facts innately, offering a wealth of background knowledge to all things related and unrelated to your case. Who knows when the history of cigarette brands will provide the breakthrough you need to arrest a murderer – or when knowledge of pre-Revolutionary guns might save a life?”

2. “Reconstruct crime scenes. Make laws of physics work for the Law.

Cool for: Forensics Scientists, Tactical Fighters, Math-Minded People

Visual Calculus verses you not only in the laws of the state, but the laws of nature. It enables you to create virtual crime-scene models in your mind’s eye. You’ll see how a bullet shattered the glass and from that trace its trajectory with mathematical precision. You’ll also count so many footprints – and at a glance discern shoe size and design; as well as the height, weight, and gender of the one who wore them.”

so

if someone’s boobs were to jiggle what would the average velocity of that jiggle be like if the equation for velocity is change in distance over change in time this is for SCIENCE

I'm not familiar with your meth game my guy

I think you have the wrong blog, for meth games @boogiestreetshakes is probably better suited to help you.

My love for you is 0 divided by 0

So, your love for me is nonexistent. I'm pretty sure today is about telling people how much you do love them, not how much you don't...

hey, are you dating anyone, math guy??

Insofar as the notion of mathematical and spatial reasoning given human form can date anyone... no, I am not.

Honestly, perhaps the better building block is the humble triangle. A square is just two triangles back to back, after all, and you can make many more shapes out of triangles than you can out of squares. My rhombic tricontahedron was one such shape before its tragic and untimely death…

Why square if polygons

To be frank, they seem more fitting for @visual-calc than anything. A complex shape can be pleasing, yes, but you'd be a fool to underestimate the power of a simple building block. Not that I dislike sharing the shape with you, Numbers.

You fucking killed him...

why would you do that

Blow into the rhombic triacontahedron like a balloon

OK NOW WHAT

[visual-calc]

Okay, I had a good cry in the hippocampus and I think I'm feeling a lot better—

WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM????

Well, upon reading it I don’t think this was supposed to go to me either, despite the name. My answers to questions are always both correct and useful.

Not quite sure who else it could be for though…

@visual-calc It seems that I have received your mail, for some unknown reason? This was clearly supposed to go to *you*, I am not a mathematician.

[visual-calc]

Why the hell would you do that???

He's just an innocent polygon, why would you shoot him...

Where's the green thing

[visual-calc]

There are over 518 million blogs on this website.

/OOC Are all of the skill blogs different people???

Some people might run more than one blog but otherwise yes, it's all different people :)

[Image description: The first image is a digital painting of Visual Calculus' skill portrait in Disco Elysium. Text reads: "VISUAL CALCULUS - The cold sea breeze stings your face as you step on the boardwalk. The body is gone, but something still lingers in the air. And high above it, against the stars..." End text. The portrait then fades into a dark night sky. The second image continues from the first with the same night sky. Text reads: "VISUAL CALCULUS - A luminous wheel of pleasure and all things bright, its wooden frame creaking in the wind. Twelve red cabins form a circle that stretches from the engines below to the flocks of seagulls up in the sky. INLAND EMPIRE [Medium: Success] - The mirage looks both sad and glorious in the mist, like an insect trapped in glass." End text. Green and blue lines from Visual Calculus' portrait twist around an orange, blue and purple projection of a ferris wheel. Behind it, the sun emerges in a bright burst of colour. Harry Du Bois looks up at it, amazed; Kim Kitsuragi looks at him in concern. Text reads: "YOU - 'You don't see it?' KIM KITSURAGI - 'See what?' The lieutenant looks around uncomfortably." End ID]

The image is roughly 500x500 pixels, or ~250,000 pixels in total. While this is by no means a high resolution image (which can have over a thousand pixels on a side), it should allow a clearer image than seen here. Methinks there is some radiocomputer trickery afoot here...

What your favorite polygons?

I'm a fan of the rhombic triacontahedron!

With 30 faces of equal size, she shares some interesting properties with the platonic solids (the standard Wirrâl dice, minus the two ten-sided ones), while looking much more interesting (in my honest opinion). Also, in order to make the faces match up correctly, the ratio between the long and short sides of the rhombus needs to be equal to the golden ratio, and it's always a fun time when that shows up.

What do you mean, you can't un-punt it? It's just a matter of running down there and getting it. Surely running a few meters is within your powers of athleticism?

Thoughts on this❓

Remember how I said, back when you asked me about falling, that calculating how your shell would break is the hardest part? The physics of how objects bend and break and flop around on collision with other objects is extraordinarily complicated, and generally requires using radiocomputers to solve the relevant equations.

This horse is demonstrating a new method for solving these equations. I confess that most of the specifics of how it works are beyond me, but I believe it generalizes an existing method to work with more kinds of objects and forces while still being (relatively) fast to compute.

(unrelated, but I highly recommend you don't show this to Jean. I sense that he might find it... distressing)
