WARNING: If your compact Kähler manifold whose first Chern class is vanishing is also Ricci-flat, then it is a Calabi-Yau. Proceed with care.
- Risk of non-Riemaniann metric
- Holonomy equal to a subgroup of SU(n)
- Possibility of mild singularities

[insert stop doing $topic meme]
Oh god that’s brilliant
i read once that untangling fabric is the hardest part of domestic robots. we don't have the math for laundry.
And we still can't replace human seamstresses, reliably automating many processes is STILL hard
Completely unrelated, but I just noticed that "seamstress" still seems acceptable, despite shifting more toward gender neutral vocational titles. The only other one I can think of was "stewardess" which was changed to "Flight Attendant."
Is there a difference between a tailor and a seamstress? Or is the latter just the female version of the former, and therefore an archaic term?
Stitch Attendant
Maybe quit letting the hackey sack fall then Kyle!
Stall that shit on your perforated Rod Lavers....
...in all quad flavors, lawd save us
I think sartor is the old male version of seamstress, but nowadays it'd probably just be "garment maker".
I vow for the old British "haberdasher".
Haberdasher is good. Would the female version be a Haberdasheress?
My brother once got so tangled in a duvet cover, we had to cut him free.
Does your brother usually wear a helmet, by any chance?
Maybe they put him in the dryer with the sheets. My duvet cover is like some kind of Bag of Holding that swallows pillow cases and never wants to return them.
I had a friend whose younger brother used to get trapped in the dryer.
I think I saw her video about that.
I used to see a local band named Calabi-yau. Their sound was kind of a rush-inspired math-rock. Really talented guys. Guitar player got hired by google and moved so the group kind of retired
One reason I like queen sized blankets
I thought it was only me
The function just can't converge haha
Wow, I had no idea the Calabi-Yau Manifold was a real thing. I thought it was just made up for Barotrauma, since that was the only place I heard of it. It sounded Lovecraftian enough so I never questioned it lol
There's a great book by Greg Egan called Diaspora that explores the idea that every atom is a Calabai-Yau manifold, and the aperture to a wormhole via Kaluza-Klein handwavery. It's a bit of a heavy read at times but super interesting.
More like half awake me trying to take the laplacian of my pillow for my very important dream test.
