When I said "ray" I just meant an imaginary line that could be drawn to extend in a given direction, not a literal particle escaping. It was mostly to think of a way you might conceptualize an orientation of an object that may not have any dimension. As in, if the matter just outside a singularity rotates, perhaps you could consider it to rotate? But I'm not sure that would be accurate to say anyway. My grasp of the physics of black holes is obviously pretty loose. :)

Thanks for taking the time to explain!

Technically couldn't a ray emanating from a singularity rotate? Like, the point could have a sort of orientation without having any real measure?

Not saying that's the case here, but I think it could happen.

I have tried something like that before and absolutely hated it. But for your sake, I hope it catches on.

All through grad school, my running joke was that "Teen Talk" Barbie did nothing wrong. Math class IS tough. 😭

Depends how many holes you have in your socks. :)

Or whether your coffee cup has a handle.

Aptly named!

 

Taken from my back window. One of several little buddies that like to hang out on the porch and peek into the back door.

That's encouraging. Hopefully they'll give it up. It's ridiculous that anyone pursued this in the first place.

It is also great to take makeup off or products that build up (like sunscreen).

I've seen hairspray used on a clear filter to create a similar bloom effect!

Only if it contains no complex entries.

To be fair, I've written plenty of useful code as a hobbyist with the help of Chat GPT. Not good for writing anything factual or creative, but it's a decent assistant at my level.

That was how all image macros looked in back my day, and we liked it!

Not the best picture, but I spotted this little friend crawling on my pile of folded laundry in the living room. He appeared to be carrying an ant. We scooped him up with my daughter's bug catching kit (where I tried to get a picture) and let him go outside.
