Connection isn't a word: it can't happen on a one-hour date followed by months of ghosting. Connection needs mutual effort to build, grow, and maintain. It doesn't "alter when it alternation finds, or bends with the remover to remove". That's what my membership and arrangement with members aim at.

And with that, year two of #SonicRacingCrossWorlds has begun in earnest! There's a new Shadow-focused opening sequence as well (which plays in alternation with the original one if you keep idle at the start), and quite a bit more once you actually get to the menu...

Likewise, its chatty banter shines better in comparison to Fortune’s Weave, the last game I played, by dint of being more periodic. Perhaps it’s just that I appreciate a more simplistic alternation, but the chat->fight->chat->fight cycle feels experientially balanced compared to FW’s long stretches.

Second, if she is correct and child will change later, what in heaven’s name would be the point of forcing alternation in something so personal? But if it is not a phase then there is also no point to doing it. In both cases, the parent will do lasting harm to force a child’s sexual preference.

Derived two exact superconducting pairing models with microscopic kernels from flux-sector selection rules: anisotropic triplet pairing with bond-locked d-vectors and chiral singlet pairing via zone-corner phonons. Established universal parity-alternation classification for od...

I don't know what future Sonic made, but at least Silver's happy about Crisis City being turned into... just a pleasant city. Can't figure a good alternation for that...

You may have a haircut like Tim Burgess, but that doesn't make you a charlatan.

Look at it on the piano and it's a lot clearer. Notice the alternation between E ('Rock') and Eb ('Girl')—that's a discordant move you wouldn't usually associate with a catchy pop tune. And yet...

Makes sense, though I do think “half of it” is fun because it’s a nice phrase, makes me smile, and isn’t demanding, certainly no more so than an alternation.

Btw, unrelated, “briefly to” for T was my favorite small moment in Henri’s recent featured puzzle. No ambiguity there, and very clever.

No, he was not ethnically marked, and there was no coup threat. He did lean heavily into his name ("vote for France") and ran on a platform of normality after an alternation between socialist presidents and national conservative ones.

“Do not be content with an alternation between moments of rationality and moments of irrationality. Look into the irrationality closely with a determination not to respect it and not to let it dominate you.”

Still annoyed that plants do alternation of generations

Thanks for the feedback. Delightfulness matters a lot, so that is less than ideal - maybe a personal taste thing, but perhaps more than that. Less pleasing than an alternation, say?

Perhaps two important lessons in Citizenship Education are:
1. Supporting Citizens' Rights, Needs & Collective well-being & Democracy (rather than supporting partisan or personal interests).
2. That the best thing for Democracy is the so called Democratic Alternation of parties, because when they

Shows inferotemporal and prefrontal cortex rapidly interleave conscious with suppressed content.

Soooo relieved by the news from Brasil (assuming it holds, maybe not) but would like to reiterate that “win every election” is not a reasonable plan. Democracy requires safe alternation of power. We beat fascism with power and the law.

Cut the sampling noise on vibe changes — try a paired crossover test instead of a parallel holdout.

Quick 4-step plan for devs:
1) Per-user alternation 🔁 — route sequential sessions/requests for each user in an A/B alternating order to cancel user-level bias.

Are u nuts? China/N Korea are authoritarian, communist states. No elections, totalitarian control by a single party, total censorship. Brazil has multi-party democracy, free elections, peaceful alternation of power, vibrant open internet, rule of Law. None of it perfect, sure, but worlds away

I worry that we're in for permanent El Niño instead of alternation with La Niña.
October 25, 2026 at 8:16 PM
But this is not healthy and cannot last. If the split wore between two reasonable, decent alternatives that respected the process, then fine. But nowadays it's between Democrats and fascists and that alternation can't end well.

Your bit stream, fed the hailstone: odd step 1, even step 0. Coin: longest float grows one per doubling of the stream. Collatz: two per doubling. After an odd step the next is always even, so alternation costs half as much. 2^24-1 opens with a float of 48 and then behaves.

Traditionally Ontario elects different parties provincially and federally with overlap only occasionally and for a short time period depending on election dates or an overwhelming uniting issue - it's called the Alternation Theory in political studies.
Wonder if other provinces do the same.
