A truly good boy would be willing to make personal sacrifices for the greater good

dark gritty santapunk world where the Great Powers of Europe both mandate celebration of Christmas and encourage their subjects to be as naughty as possible to preserve unlimited access to coal and continued industrialization.

Leaving aside questions of how this works for noncash assets, this would be precisely equivalent to an inheritance tax paired with contractionary monetary policy.

Are there any good children's books where the protagonist brings war to peacing kingdoms?

However, your smoothie example just seems like a nonlinear goodness function defined on the nonnegative subset of a Euclidean space.

-Topological spaces: even more general than metric spaces; we no longer have distances between points, just an abstract notion of which areas are close or connected to which other areas.

Directions at different points may not match up consistently.
-Metric spaces: a set equipped with a function that tells you how far apart any given pair of points are. Hence there's some geometry, but no concept of "different directions". A manifold equipped with a nice metric is called Riemannian.

What you call "space" mathematicians would call "Euclidean space" or slightly more generally a vector space. There are other kinds of spaces that work differently, such as:
-Manifolds: spaces that locally look like Euclidean space, but globally may have some more complicated structure, and...

Hybrid and Revolver have losses and a bunch of close wins. I don't think they belong in the same category as Fury.

"certified freak, seven days a week" implies the existence of a freak certification board, freak exam, and potential freakiness gains from occupational licensing reform

Is this real or another pump and dump scheme?

Non-unitary executive theory: quantum wavefunctions evolve according to the Schrodinger equation until acted upon by the president of the United States, at which point they collapse to a single state

Wait, why is he so worried about heavenly bodies?

That's how I found you and it's still my favorite. The perfect blend of funny and wholesome

It's easy to generate 3-SAT instances from a value for each variable:

1. Pick a true literal at random
2. Pick any two other literals at random
3. Permute the three literals randomly to produce a clause
4. Repeat until you have enough clauses

I think the issue is making a hard instance of 3-SAT
