• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I made a pretty!

Neat. It looks like a fractal. Is that based on a pre-existing fractal formula or is that something you made up?

It's the same basic design as a Koch snowflake.

The idea is this: Make a line that goes from (0,0) to (1,0). Now split it into segments and move them around. Now, do exactly the same set of transformations to each resulting segment. And to each segment of *that*. And so on and so on.

What you're seeing is the upper-left corner of an 11-deep iteration on a pattern that looks like a very stretched-out sideways Z. A sharp line up, a long gradual line down, and a sharp line back up to the baseline.
