Dirty four letter words starting with F?

You mean like FOIL?

I wouldn't hate this so much if I thought the AP curriculum actually did a good job of preparing you for next level courses.

My experience is that more and more colleges are accepting them for credit, but still make students retake the course.

That should tell you something.

There's the thing where you can posit that an exponential function is any function where f(a+b)=f(a)f(b).

The "if" part is not too hard to do, for all the various exponent rules. I think the "only if" is a bit more challenging.

Reminds me of when pro bicycle racers would smoke a cigarette at the bottom of a climb to open up their lungs (not unlike NFL players doing smelling salts)

I despair of ever doing them that fast.

I do find the Monday problems to be a bit jarring, kind of like trying to take that extra step up at the top of the stairs.

They're anywhere from $100 to ten times that, depending on how much cachet you want.

Dimensions are 7" tall, 8 1/2 wide, 4 1/2" deep

Ice sphere maker next to a bottle of absolut vanilla vodka. It is about as tall as the shoulder of the bottle, about twice as wide, and only slightly thicker in depth. This is presented on a plain wooden tray on a granite counter top in front of an aquarium full of plants but no fish.

The afore mentioned ice ball maker in a freezer drawer where it seems to be taking up a moderate amount of space compared to the bags of other frozen things in there.

Visuals:

If you just want to turn a cube into a sphere, you can get brass molds that use regelation to accomplish that.

You mean melting into a sphere on its own? Totally doable, but you have to start off with a really large cube and you'll end up with a really small sphere...

it's about the same footprint and a little taller than those rectangularish ice cream tubs.

I've got a mold that makes perfectly clear spheres using directional freezing. It was under $40.

I got one that makes 2" clear ice spheres. It's not automatic, and it takes about 24 hours to freeze a pair of spheres.

But there is a distinct pleasure in using it.

I have to hear the pledge of allegiance daily.
I'm reworking it to preserve my sanity:

I pledge allegiance to the constitution
of the United States of America
and to the freedoms which it protects,
regardless of gender, race, or creed,
with liberty and justice for all.

Damn. I like that version more.

It looks like the corner of a bath tub:

I appreciate the reverse Polish naming of the function.

My students always think a catenary is a parabola, but it's not.

Are you asking about AI?

i.e. they hate freedom.

This is where I'm at these days. I still get stuff from Amazon, but it's about 1/3 of what I used to.

Looks very Voronoi like.

I have done it. It was remarkably effective for me.

It sounds like hokum, but It worked very quickly. My therapist used the hand buzzers, if that makes a difference.

I've talked to people who have had limited success with it, so a grain of salt is probably in order.

I'm just beating my head against my desk.

For some reason, this made me wonder when you're going get around to doing an Angine de Poitrine cover.

(It'd be an excuse to get a 24TET guitar/bass double neck.)

Why not both?

Climate change is pushing the marine layer earlier into the year. May Gray is now happening in April

UK paperbacks arrived while I was doing my US launch event! 😍 Happy YOTM Day!

Numerically greater freezing point too.
