Aren’t you afraid of criminal prosecution if you don’t?

A black and white dog laying in the middle of a rainbow on the floor.

He posed! He usually looks away when I try to take his picture.

Political partisans do this too. But I suppose it’s more expected there.

I think it was Letterman who used to have a bit where he would have random experts in various specialties tell a joke that only other specialists would understand, but would find funny.

This would’ve been a good entry.

And a big sigh of relief!

Oddly makes me think of people wearing feather boas to mock Jesse Ventura as MN governor. Remember when he seemed like a crazy politician?

But @evodynamics.bsky.social I see your point that “there are no definitions” can be taken to mean there are no agreed upon definitions.

That’s certainly more true in applied math than pure math.

In some sense that’s kind of what I’m trying to say. The definitions are where the action is. It’s where the stakes are.

Also, what we now think of as pure math used to be like this too. It took a long time to work out the right definition of continuity!

If you’d be willing to dm me a preprint I’d appreciate it. (No institutional access past the paywall)

This actually surprises me. As an applied logician, I have long thought that the greatest part of the art is crafting definitions that make the theorems easy to prove.

This actually surprised me as I have been learning Italian. It’s amazing how Dante (and Petrarch and Boccaccio etc.) basically “invented” Italian. Cultural identification through literature is a surprisingly strong force. Even if it took ~600 yrs from Dante to political unification.

And that even if you knew all the lyrics you (I) could never belt it like Hannah Waddingham in Ted Lasso

Pretty sure that “bombing data center” is not a TTP in the MITRE ATT&CK Matrix

If you started Dark Side of the Moon when Artemis went behind the moon it would finish just about when they emerged from behind the moon

My college algebra prof told us finding a book on (mathematical) Ideal Theory in the Religion or Philosophy section of the library.

Amazing!!

The key is the book. If you read for 2 hours it’ll be almost 10pm, a perfectly reasonable time to go to sleep.

(Also, no shade if you fall asleep after a few minutes of reading instead.)

This is so far from the point, but I had issues parsing this video due to weird perspective issues. Farther objects are usually smaller, but the man in the back is so much larger that he still appears *way* larger. I wondered if it was doctored because of that.

The only thing worse than ICE doing nothing at airports would be ICE doing something at airports.

Watch for telekinesis

The egg is common, but optional, iirc. And they are as varied as nachos here, so could be hit or miss. But when it’s good, it’s really good.

Chorrillana - Wikipedia

Start by looking at the picture at the top of the Wikipedia article. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorril...

Do you know about chorrillana? It’s basically Chile’s answer to poutine. And it’s excellent.

You could come over here to cook it. Just a suggestion.

The odd thing is that your joke comment is still possibly consistent with the data!

Congratulations! Well deserved. 🎉 🥳

Pi is inherently linked with circles and periodic phenomena. Out calendar is also periodic; we can imagine it as a circle beginning Jan. 1.

As pi represents half of a circle’s circumference (half way around the circle) Pi Day is properly celebrated half way thru the year (July 2).

That is all.

I never would have thought I might confuse Van Gogh and Klimt. But I thought this was early Van Gogh, when it is Gustav Klimt.
