  • Well it depnds on what amount of cost you want to put in, and how are you making the roundabout, and are you going to put something on it, and essentially wht budgets you have. Where I live, we almost always have some statues or soemthing put on them.

    They are made with essentially make shift compasses where I live. This is what is done for a roundabout of radius, lets say in ball park of 5-10 m. Initially marking is done (this is simply done by measuring out a tape of desired radius, and holding wwhen end at center, and other person revolvinng around it, and laying down something - could be simple as white chalk, or use jackhammer to make actual indents to ground, or lay down some bricks) This will serve as guide for curve, and any further curved elements could be made by just maintaining a constant distance from this circumference. Then the interior is usually dug to lay a foundation for whatever you put on it (could be as simple as excavating, and just plastering, but that is still expensive, often manually digging and then laying a firm dirt layer is enough). then it is covered with something (could be custom designed pizza slice shaped stone or marble wedges, but usually just bricks or cinderblocks). While making, we do not really make a great curved edge, and just make a n-gon, where n can be 20 or 50 or 100. This is simpler because straight edged bricks are cheaps, and you can lay them vertical, filling the gaps with plaster. The depending on your budget, you could get great finishing, again done with applying plaster, but this time, excess is applied, and some is removed, so we get a curved edge. Now you mostly have the exterior ready. On the top, you could have marble or stone, which can be grinded to match the curved edge, or it could be a thin plaster layer, which will take the shape of boundary.


  • i just did some napkin maths, and currently, it is approximately 1 light day away from us (23.148 hrs, no relativistic consideration). For perspective, our nearest star is 4.25 light years away, and that is roughly 302.319161 times further than voyager. with voyager speed, it will reach centauri (not actually heading towards it, but just for distance perspective) in about in roughly 14511.319728 years (actually less than this).

    edit - messed up the calc a bit, 302… should have been 1608.346293 and 14511… shoul dhave been 77200.622084, explanation in replies - root of errors - typo


  • Essentially, all children games work - you can just make then hard, or raise the stakes to your taste

    musical chairs (song plys, everyone dances, song stops - you have to grab nearest seat - for n players, start with n - 1 chairs, so someone is eliminated - now reduce the chair by 1 and repeat)

    atlas - take places names - someone has to say a new place starting with last alphabet of last name.

    antakshari (consider it as musical atlas - you start with a song - next song has to start with the last alphabet/sound of lst song)

    these 2 can be played in teams, and instead of finishing game as soon as someone loses, you can have pre determined punishments (for example, they have to dance, with 1 leg in air, and a hand over their head)

    passing the parcel - song plays - you pass the parcel - when song stops, the person with parcel gets the “gift/punishment” (punishment similar to above)

    charades (or dumb charades) - you have to make someone else guess what you are acting/narrating out


  • Not a female, and nowhere close to being as good as you described her, but if you can convey it to her, please do - practically no one cares (maybe not the best way to put it). What I mean is, I have never looked so closely at a women (or their legs). I have other male friends, who are also attracted towards females, and they have never noticed (or at least have never discussed this detailed noticing with me). If she is uncomforable, there could be 2 possible reasons, either she thinks what others think of it, or she is worried about it from a medical prespective. I will come to latter later, but for the former, as i said, I do not think anybody really pays this close attention (at least I do not, and i consider myself as average). Maybe you would have noticed, potentially because you are their partner or close friend, but very likely even you might not have really noticed till she mentioned it to you. So please tell her, it doees not matter.

    Medically, it is perfectly normal to have your veins being observable. My guess is that probably the person has really fair skin (almost white), and may not have many melanocytes (maybe genetics, or maybe some disease), and if she does not have a mild or severe reactions (for example, itchiness, or redness) to going out in sun, then her body is producing close to adequate amount of melanin. Veins do appear if the skin is thin around those portions, and skin itself is light (absorbance). If they do not have any reactions in going out, she should feel perfectly ok (tanning does not count as a reaction, that is expected, also, she may not tan much because of lack of melanin, but that is a separate thing). If she has some reactions, then she should consult some dermatoligist, and should probably start wearing some creams (some appropriate spf, sorry, I do not know much about this stuff).

    TL;DR - Tell her to not care. In case of any allergies, consult a dermatologist.
