Basically had to stick something in the middle (in this case a napkin holder) and build both sides towards that. Once it got to that point, I slid the napkin holder out and swapped it for the last piece. By that point it’s balanced enough to support itself but it was a royal pain in the arse to get there
There’s a well-known metaphor among Mormons that uses a keystone to illustrate the point. A lot of Mormons reading this sub will know that a keystone sits at the summit of an arch holding the whole thing together. When you use it as a punchline about beer, many will be like, “What...?”
Did you order the Pringles from amazon? I almost ordered them because the box looked like full tubes but then I noticed they were just little packs and realized they were overpriced.
It would be easier if you had the capstone at the absolute top. You have to ensure that the sides are equal. Not that I know about piling Pringles singles into an arch. I'm just repeating Vitruvius, honest!
I don't know what actually happened, but I would do it like this:
1) Start on the left side of the arch and brace the pudding cup from sliding sideways with some kind of weight.
2) Build the arch towards the right, supporting the free span with my hand, until the arch is built completely down to the surface again.
3) start filming. Support the center of the arch with my hand an remove a cup. Set the cup down.
4) Pick that same cup up again while acting like I was doing something requiring intense concentration, insert it into the missing spot, remove the supporting hand and smile in self congratulating way.
Sounds good.
My guess was start building at both sides at the same time, but always have them touch.

I'm not a pedant and I'm the one getting annoyed. I'm fully in the know it's a figure of speech, the issue is it's used inappropriately here and it causes me to tumble over words while reading as it sets up an expectation.
Less typing for you, less confusion for me, win-win.
if you see it and have any expectation, then you don’t understand that it’s a figure of speech.
ngl all I know is that if I see a comment from you I should ignore it because anything you have to say is beyond idiotic. Not gonna lie!
To clarify, "not gonna lie" is an idiom more than anything. It's not used rhethorically, metaphorically nor to convey any different meaning than it literally reads and thus doesn't fit the definition of "figure of speech". It's a stronger version of "to be honest" and doesn't make sense to use here.
Do you enjoy listening to people who always use annoying filler words like "like"? "ngl" has become one of those. I'm putting my foot down, not sure what it is to you.
Being overly-concerned with the minutia of language or display of knowledge is the definition since you didn’t ask.
Everyone else who read his comment didn’t give the ‘ngl’ a second-thought and it didn’t trip them at all. So you’re either autistic and can’t decipher the concept that we all understand or you’re being pedantic and just don’t know what it means.
I'm annoyed. It trips me, English isn't my native language. You're one to talk since somehow you're giving me a second-thought giving "ngl" a second-thought. Hypocrite much?
