Shout out to the euler relationship for allowing me to forget every single trig identity I ever learned

I think milquetoast is the word you want; milktoast is phonetically correct but that spelling refers to a breakfast dish.
Kinda. The bald jd vance meme format should be having a field day with this image and my greatest regret right now is that I dont have the digital photo manipulation skills to make that a reality

Avocado toast is one of the many things disingenuous conservative media has used to blame millennials for the economic situation we grew up in. “They wouldn’t be in such poor financial situation if they stopped paying $15 for avocado toast at brunch every day”
That being said… avocado toast rocks and that is an opinion shared by all of my friends of my age lol. Personally I like mine with a fried egg and hot sauce

(Sorry if this was a joke that went over my head and not an earnest question)
Afaik its a strategy to scare off predators. The general idea goes like… predators dont want to get stung --> predators less likely to eat wasps --> fly pretends to be wasp --> predator less likely to eat fly for fear of being stung. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimicry here is a Wikipedia page if you feel like reading a much better longer description written by people who know a whole shitload more about biology than I do.
Gustephan@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•No, Chicago salt trucks are not being used to interfere with ICE2·11 days agoWait yall dont like it when the entire undercarriage of your car is corroded to shit after two winters because of the flying rock salt? Smdhing my head
Gustephan@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•No, Chicago salt trucks are not being used to interfere with ICE12·11 days agoContext for people from warmer climates who may not know what a salt truck is/does:
In colder climates where the roads freeze in the winter, cities de-ice the roads. This is sometimes done by spreading salt from big trucks all over the roads to melt the ice. You could refer to a salt truck as a de-icing truck or an ice melting truck and you’d be largely correct
You count up in incremental numbers until you reach 5280 and then finally increment from 0 to 1 miles. That’s base 5280. Just because we didnt invent more symbols to easily represent that does not mean its not a different numeric base.
Did you read the words I wrote? It looks like youre responding to a “imperial units are better than metric” strawman which you may notice I didnt say or even allude to
This comment brought to you by a complete and fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to use a different base numeral
Imagine being so close minded and bad at math that you can only think in base 10 and feel the constant need to degrade people who are good at math in different bases
I grew up near a Thai Buddhist temple in the panhandle of Florida, and it was about the same. They did a charity cookout type thing every weekend, which was open to the public and they did a bunch of cultural and religious ceremonies right next to or right there in the little marketplace they set up for the cookout. It was a great way to kill a few hours on a sunday; $5 or $6 for a plate of pad thai and a skewer of thai bbq pork, see some cool ceremonies, sometimes end up talking with somebody from the temple for a bit. Absolutely blew my mind that a religious gathering could be so actively enjoyable after I grew up going to mass

This is a shit take. The meme is showing two different stereotypes of college freshman. There is not a qualitative difference between the “hard” sciences and the others; the biologists climatologists and psychologists I’ve known all adhere to the same scientific method and mathematical rigor I learned getting my handful of grad and postgrad degrees in physics math and compsci. The only real difference I’ve seen is that “soft” sciences tend to work on problems with more stochastic moving parts, making them harder to understand on average. They’re not easier, you’re just ignorant of the complexity and too arrogant to consider the expertise and accomplishments of others.
I have literally designed and implemented aircraft parts based on inspiration I got listening to somebody infodump about an animal they were studying. Learn the things other people care about. It will make you better at what you care about and probably a better person in the process
Gustephan@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I've got a road trip planned. It'll be about 2800 mi, 4500 km. I think I'm prepared but sure I'm overlooking things. I'd love to hear your tips and recommendations; your holy grails!6·17 days agoIt’s hard while traveling, but eating even remotely healthy will make your experience a lot better. One of those fruit and veggie trays you can get from grocery stores plus like a loaf of bread and a thing of hummus can make a great dinner on the road for a family, I try to do something like that at least twice a week when im traveling. Panda express is a surprisingly decent place to get fairly plain rice chicken and broccoli, which is great for both nervous stomachs and people trying to maintain any kind of fitness on the road. Last I’d say careful not to give yourself kidney stones with energy drinks if youre doing a lot of long haul drives between stops

Russia would have never set a toe in Ukraine if they kept the nukes, and the fuckery of Russia invading and the ‘civilized world’ sitting around with thumbs up their asses since 2014 seems like proof that having nuclear weapons is a prerequisite to maintaining sovereignty
e^(ix) = cos(x) + i sin(x)
That is the euler relationship. You can use that relationship to convert any expression with a trig function into an expression of exponentials and imaginary numbers. “Euler’s formula” is a good search term if you want to learn more
