@GarrettPetersen I regret posting this because after a cursory search, there's a lot of other people showing the same effect. There was no reason for me to be so skeptical! That said, I'll stand by the claim that it's probably not produced by the individual rings.

@GarrettPetersen I'm skeptical. Wouldn't the multiple rings produce multiple projections? Why does it cut off with a sharp edge at the bottom? I think if this is real, the projection isn't coming from the rings.

@goblinodds No, I don't think so either! It seems quite mean. I think what I'm asking more broadly is: is rudeness sometimes warranted? I think the answer may be yes, although I don't think it's justified here. I'm not trying to find reasons to be mean. I would love to be nice all the

@nathan_cervera @WallStreetSilv Credit score is a measure of your ability to pay your debt, not the total debt itself. The US has never defaulted on its debt, which is why investors continue to purchase US treasury bonds and securities.

@Genericktag @FacebookAIslop Okay, point taken, it is a technicality. But there is a very good reason why recipes are not copyright protected. There's only so many ways to make a poundcake or croissant--if we granted copyright protection to a recipe, virtually nobody else would be able to publish a recipe

So I'm interested if you can name anyone better. I'm genuinely curious, this isn't just to win an online argument.
