Try to not be reactive. Take appropriate action whenever needed but choose to act after a delay so that you aren’t responding impulsively. In my experience 90% of conversations that were problematic could have been avoided if either party chose to walk away or take a break.

Your map made me think how interesting US would be if there were 4 major political parties. Maybe no one will win the presidential election 🤔

Agree. Uncountable infinities are much more mind blowing. It was an interesting journey realising first that everything like time and distance are continuous when learning math the then realising they’re not when learning physics.

Geometric interpretation of integration is really fun, it’s the analytic interpretation that most people (and I) find harder to understand.

If you work in numerically solving integrals using computers, you realise that it’s all just adding tiny areas.

I finally understand what divergent integrals are intuitively when I encountered one while trying to do a calculation on a computer.

Incompleteness doesn’t come as a huge surprise when your learn math in an axiomatic way rather than computationally. For me the treacherous part is actually knowing whether something is unprovable because of incompleteness or because no one has found a proof yet.

Ha ha :) Thank you. It’s a term my friends made up for him.

I honestly didn’t envision a timeline where melon renaming twitter would cause confusion in math.

Public freakout was more agitation but even then it was like people can be so stupid or it was genuine content about people being treated unfairly that was creating some awareness.

For me the genuine agitation things were the ragebait stuff like 5 minutes hacks/crafts and posting blatantly wrong or reprehensible takes to generate negative engagement like a lot of content on AITA.

Really? To me, it’s unfair to characterize mildlyinfuriating as an agitation community that spreads negativity. I enjoy browsing there because it’s a place to bond over shared frustration and humor.

Why would refresh rate cook anything? If the pixel was on continuously, it doesn’t cook anything, then why would modulation matter? It’s not like you’re increasing intensity.

Most of it is fear mongering but you know bioaccumulation is a thing right? Water is a nice shield against radiation reaching you but if radioactive nucleai are in the water, it’s going to accumulate in animals that grow in that water and cause heavy metal poisoning, like Mercury.

If you do that they might catch a lot of dust. The floor is usually where all the dust in a room accumulates.

I sometimes eat it knowingly and then question all my life decisions once the migraine sets in 🤣

That’s a very good point, along with usage. Weed might have practically no effect if you consume it non-regularly but might have significant effect when you do every day.

I love the taste of msg, unfortunately over the past few years it seems to have become a trigger for my migraines. I miss eating noodles with msg.

It isn’t harmless. I’m not saying you shouldn’t use it. In all likelihood, it’s less harmful than tobacco or alcohol, but we shouldn’t pretend it’s completely harmless.

I skimmed through the summary and it seems okay?

But this user isn’t diverting attention from an American policy or whatever. The original post was on how we have the hottest days so far and they rightly pointed out that a government was building lots of coal plants in that context. Others have chimed in and said that the government also is investigating in renewable, though I question if that makes building coal plants okay.

None of this is whataboutism. No one is above criticism or scrutiny.

I mean we knew that gravity as we understood in terms of GR is not a full picture. As people figured out that the expansion of the universe was accelerating, which would be impossible if gravity was simply attractive. So I don’t think of dark matter as a glitch. It’s more like a placeholder we don’t understand yet.

Something that seems like a glitch to me is speed of light being a hard limit, but when you really dig into it you realize that certain limits determine the nature of the reality and they need to have some fixed value like the speed of light went Planck’s constant.

For a slightly different take, a simulation and reality are not that fundamentally different given how both are perceived by senses in a similar way. Like how a VR headset uses the same sense that you use to see real objects.

They start to diverge in a way when you start encountering edge phenomenon that are beyond the scope of the simulation, like how a game would glitch. So far, however much we zoom in or zoom out, reality works consistently. So it is less likely that we’re in a simulation.
