Ah, very tricky. I'm not very good at math, so my next idea is to brute force it by unraveling both ropes into their individual threads, counting up 5/12ths of each ropes' threads and re-tying and burning those threads. Each thread would be the same length as the original rope and would have the same inconsistencies, you'd just be left with a skinnier rope that hopefully has 25min of material left to burn between the two.
Hopefully somebody figures out the real answer and can chime in, ::: I'm curious how lighting multiple fires helps :::
Fold both ropes to find 5/12ths of each length of rope. Cut off those lengths and burn both of the 5/12 portions? Sounds like it'd work.
Looks like Patreon takes a 5% cut while OpenCollective doesn't appear to take a cut of the money.
Unfortunately not food or farming related, the only one I subscribe to under 50k is Ken Whittier. https://youtube.com/@kenwhittier7243
He's a strength and conditioning coach at Boston university, so all of his information should be accurate and he posts about a wide variety of topics, from sports exercises to more postural or injury prevention/recovery. I like having his videos pop up in my feed every so often, its good motivation.
I'm a professional developer but I started out as a hobbyist. I fell in love with programming after seeing all the neat things you could do with jailbroken iPhone back in the day, and while I don't dabble in that area, I love having the ability to customize or alter something to suit my needs.
My current work is pretty boring and repetitive, so I've found some energy to write a workout routine newsletter, like their weren't enough workout apps already haha. I also started a terminal SQL application that could be used for querying files. (insert into [./orangefiles.csv] select Path, Name, FileSize from [./../dir] where Name like '%orange%' and Type = 'file') But I gave up on that because it was way over my head. Might pick it up again a few years in the future, it would be pretty handy.
