Akiva Weinberger(This question was previously posted on Math SE, but received no answers.) 3D infected cubes puzzle with threshold $4$: On an $n\times n\times n$ cube, some cells are infected; if a cell shares a face with $4$ infected squares, it becomes infected. What's the minimum number of initially infected...

 
turns out filming a video is much less terrifying when there's something else on the screen and it's not just your face

Q: Infected squares warmup: infect a 7x7 board with 21 squares

Akiva WeinbergerYou can consider this a "warmup" to my other question about infected squares. On a $7\times7$ square, some cells are infected; if a cell shares an edge with $3$ infected squares, it becomes infected. Show that we can infect the whole square with only $21$ initially infected cells.

Q: How would you describe a mentally ill, thieving, pathetic, abusive, jealous and disgusting wife in a few words?

user82246This horrible person tricked me into marrying them after a couple months. (My dumbass fault) With the intent to steal everything from my daughter and I. She abused both of us mentally and physically. All while having a criminal relationship with my daughter's mother and failed to tell me. Also ha...

@oAlt HAS + TIL< + Y_
 
I was going to do an #Obvious C4 solution but that works too
 
dictionary doesn't seem to support lit as an abbreviation for literally but it does kind of appear in the crossword term "&lit"
ah no, merriam-webster has it: "literal; literally"
also chambers... should have checked more than one dictionary before opening my mouth i guess
 
@Jafe yep!
 
CCCC: Perhaps a Puritan's reaction to particularly outrageous part in 007 novel? (9)

The obvious 007 book isn't a novel, so so much for that.

does “reaction” in cccc possibly clue anagramming?
 
1:31 PM
tied for best song ever, can't resist:
 
"in his series of etches, [otto dix] made a powerful anti-war plea..."
^ question for native speakers: is the above usage natural? can a plea be anti-something? all the examples i've seen are pleading for something, not against
 
yes
“The lack of violence in insert game here is a kind of anti-war plea trying to stop the degradation of society… blah blah blah”
 
gotcha
thanks
 
np
lby teh way
by the way
can “reaction” clue an anagram
in a cc
 
i wouldn't use it as one (slight c4 hint, i suppose)
 
1:35 PM
hehehehehe
so no anagram
i was thinking along the lines of “admonish”
but that’s eight letters
