Oil change/vehicle inspection (done) and work.
We had a small party at my moms' place this past Saturday night for 3 birthday anniversaries (not on the actual day of any of them) and Halloween. Next year, we might make it 4 birthdays anniversaries celebrated at once since there's an expected birthday very soon.
The veil is thin, ya’ll.
Is this a metaphor or are you actually wearing a think veil?
But what was her response?
Its only a crime if you make it a crime. Not saying the courts should be deciding that; election law should. If the system is designed to just not double count votes and use whatever the last cast ballot says, then there's no issue with casting another ballot, so why should it be a crime to cast 2 or 3 ballots?
Think I'm gonna go to work as someone who hopes to get off earlier than usual.
Happy Halloween!
Edit: getting off 2.5 hours earlier than originally scheduled!
The ridiculously nerdy explanation is comedy itself
Only time I've ever had someone comment on my voice at work was a 10yo who laughed at how "tiny" my voice was when I accidentally went into a really high pitched customer-service voice in response to someone with a really deep voice. Granted, I haven't really intentionally tried to do a particularly fem voice, but I suspect my voice sometimes varies from masc to queer masc to fem all within single meetings accidentally and has for a couple years.
When someone effectively says "We must support someone who actively supports genocide to avoid another genocide!" I suspect they also don't really care much about preventing that second genocide but just find it a convenient excuse to ignoring the first. So much of lemmy has been pushing this same narrative and yet when attention is brought to how Harris specifically has been ignoring and avoiding talking about trans issues or giving trans representation, the response from many just seem to be "shut up. Trans people aren't needed to win" just like they said about brown people in response to their genocide.
I tried to do my old boy voice a few months ago and I uh, lost it. I sound like a girl attempting to sound like her dad to get out of trouble (badly).
Always fun seeing trans women trying to do boy voices badly. One of the streamers I watch regularly was reading voice lines for characters in different voices and I found it amusing how much her male-character voice sounded like what you were describing (granted, I have no clue what her pre-transition voice sounded like).
My hot take is that math class doesn’t do the one thing that justifies its place in core curriculum
Does this even count as a hot take? Whether someone hates math and just thinks that because they don't want to do it or they love math and wince at seeing how much pain math classes cause, it seems there's a lot of agreement that the current system isn't great.
That’s kind of a pain in the ass, so what can we do?
Love that approach to math. Feeling like "I'm bored and want to be able to solve this question type without writing any work" and creating your own way to solve a problem that's very disconnected from the way teachers teach things. So frequently, the method taught are things that people can memorize for a single test, but without any underlying understanding, they won't remember a day longer. When they come back a decade from when they learned it, there's almost no chance they're gonna remember much.
Having real world problems you want to solve (not just wanting the answer, but wanting to go through the process) is also a nice way to start to learn the intuition of mathematical concepts. Playing Sonic is how I started to learn to think about infinite sequences back in elementary school. I didn't even know algebra, but I was thinking about things like questioning if a sequence would converge or diverge before I had that language to describe it or the tools explore it as much as I'd have liked to and trying to get an idea of whether it looked like the sequence was plateauing or growing infinitely by just doing calculations by hand. Didn't have a calculator to do such high-precision calculations nor did I know anyway to visualize the data.
there’s no reason anyone should be graduating high school with calculus under their belt.
I'd say that should be something some people should be exposed to to varying degrees. But its practically expected that you've taken such at competitive colleges, at least if you want to go into STEM.
PS: Is your username a Euler joke?
the word foil when multiplying binomials
What about when multiplying trinomials together or a binomial and trinomial? Is referencing a box worse or less worse than foil for binomials?
Halloween is such a great holiday, providing excuses for closeted trans people to not wear a costume for a day.
