* disagreements about logic (my baby brother says that 1+1=11)
I disagree with this category. By its very definition logic is not disputable. Take your example, for instance. 1+1=11 is not an opinion; it is an utter and complete falsehood. The thing about mathematics is that everything is very black and white -- given the same fundamental set of axioms, everything is either true or false. If you can present a mathematical proof of a statement, that statement is completely and unconditionally true. The same arguments can be applied to logic (which in my opinion falls into the category of mathematics).

The model in the manufacturer's site:

http://www.duravit.us/products/all_series/darling_new.us-en.html?product=592389

The word "Dwarf Fortress" somehow misplaced seems to be "Dual Flush"

Maybe this is a "damn you, auto-correct" scenario then?
Not sure why it would auto-correct to Dwarf Fortress, since the words are very different and "dual" and "flush" are arguably more common than "dwarf" and "fortress."

This is the DOOR OF MORIA. It is being PLUNDERED by KOBOLDS. The KOBOLDS are sneaking.



You forgot to draw the two white trees.  :D
Might post an engraving later... I'm on my new Windows computer and don't have GIMP yet, and am too lazy to install & set it up, so I'll try Paint.

Added an engraving of our character sneaking around with the artifact dagger he so desires.
Before you look, just note that I'm not the best at pixel art, so no judging.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: The "How Does Minecart" Thread

If it's flying "across a region" then I'll worry about building a receiving track after I see where it lands. I know I can send a cart across cardinal directions, and I know I've derailed them diagonally while testing those tracks, so now I'm trying to send air couriers diametrically across the map. I'd avoid using rollers near launch because they would definitely cause a lethal drop in velocity.
IIRC rollers only set the velocity component in the direction they're pushing. If you send a minecart at derail speed on a N/S track and power a west-pushing roller on the track, the W/E component would be set but the N/S component would be unchanged, thus causing the minecart to turn and subsequently derail.

How would I launch a minecart diagonally across a region?
You could try to derail it by, e.g., using a west-pushing roller on a north-south minecart track. However, I don't think that minecarts "catch" back onto rails after they've been derailed, so if you want the minecart to continue someone needs to haul it to the appropriate hauling stop.

I remember one of my first forts -- I had finally started to get the hang of it, and was creating a pretty darn decent fortress.
Which was then lost, due to a save compression error. I've turned off save compression in the init files ever since...

Erm...maybe some sort of model name?
Or maybe there's a DF logo painted on it somewhere?
I have no fucking idea.

I once had a dream, where I was a penguin.
No additional information needed. I simply was a penguin.

If you rest your ass on it for even a moment, you have made the object factually a chair. Wither or not it was a good idea to create that particular fact is irrelevant, because a chair is a thing you put your ass on and you put your ass on that thing.
However, this arises the question whether your ass is, in fact, an ass, and thus whether it is qualified to make something a chair.

14 here.
Started playing earlier this year.
Before you ask, yes, I am terrible at this game. Still freakin fun though.

I'm also kinda bad at it. Right now my fort is tumbling into heck because of a werebeast infection.
I think in a way everyone is bad at Dwarf Fortress.

MONEEH!
Spend 3 hours dawdling on the solitary two coins you just made.
Buy the book from the Mage's Guild.
+1

Run our two coins together a bit first to enjoy the sound.
It's the last time we'll be able to hear it for quite a while...

Study it, trying to replicate the patterns therein with your cloth and paint.
Attempt to pour salt into the water. Does it dissolve? <-- Just trying to figure out exactly what is meant by what Chiefwaffles said.
Use patterns learned in book to enchant the staff. <-- Maybe we could finally learn some spells...
(above four are separate suggestions)

There's a math thread?
WOOT WOOT
Also, I've found a proof to askovdk's problem, I'm writing it up now.
EDIT: Found unexpected contingency. Will have to work on it some more.
EDIT 2: Contingency solved. Writing it up again.
