Congratulations! You own a printjng press set up to cut paper down to 32 page signatures.

You get an order for a 192-page book. Takes you 6 signatures. 32 pages each.

You get an order for a 193-page book.
Takes you 7 signatures, doesn't fit neatly so you're using up that whole giant sheet that should be 32 pages for just one page.

It's like electron shells or something. Quantized.

I'm happy to drop it if it still bothers you. I have a lot material.

I'm thinking you can make 192 pages with 12 sheets, cut up 16 times.

to make 193 pages you'd need 13 sheets, and have 15 pages left over.

So you can make 192 pages with either 12*16 or with 6*32. Perfect.

What I'm saying is that there is no number of pages that you for which it will work with 32 but won't work with 16. Therefore "divisible by both 16 and 32" is redundant. "Divisible by 32" is sufficient.

can't you just have the 7th signature be the 193rd page x16 and you print 1/16th of those?

Skeptical the voting public cares about Gaza.

Democrats last real primary was Obama vs Hillary, Republicans was trump first time.

sadly, you might be right that genocide in Palestine is not a big needle mover with Americans. but either way the Dems intentionally go against our interests in about a zillion ways

they choose corporate power over people power. and we let them

I often feel insecure in my political beliefs. i'm considered extreme left(I disagree, but understand the label). but like I'm wondering if i'm just like those idiots on the right.

like we both think we're right. we both think the other side are idiots and awful people. we both have our propaganda.

but nah... they're just wrong lol. there is a better way to go about things, and there is a worse way. they think the worse way is better.

I rely on Marx for two certain things:

Capitalist profit comes from worker exploitation

And

Analyze people's situations based on their resources, not abstractions like freedom and liberty.

Beyond that I try to be humble.

Cornyn was in the lead a few weeks ago! Momentum shifted hard.

Porch demo. Some idiot installed shale tiles and failed to grade properly so water sits and the shale just disintegrates.

Railing is rusted thru, barely there, but bolts in concrete are highly sus as to removal.

A whole step is missing and I have some pavers there.

Pour a new step, resurface the concrete, grading it properly, build some kind of open screen, I'm thinking maybe tint the concrete terra cotta ish would be a nice vibe.

But I'll just be getting started on the 6th. Important anniversary for you?
