  i feel like if they actually wanted to stop this they should just get a separate microwave dedicated to urine heating. if people are doing it to pass a drug test, and the alternative is possibly failing a drug test, then i’m not really sure a sign is going to stop them. better to have a sacrificial microwave.

  i can’t listen to anything when writing heady stuff or else i get a bad headache. even background sounds in a cafe will cause me pain. so my playlist would be empty and i would definitely get rejected for bad vibes

  i know this guy has a fancy degree and everything, but is he really as reliable a source as rfk junior? you don’t need fluoride when you have an army of worms ready to eat any kinds of bacteria that may enter your system.

  if there’s nothing that crows have and you don’t, does that not make you a superset of crows? that would be pretty cool i think

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I thought it was an easy question ...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i wonder what the inverse of the letters in the english alphabet are. since it has 26 letters, we know that some letters won’t have inverses. i wonder which letters don’t have inverses. i guess it would be pretty easy to find out if you use the standard alphabet ordering and then port the alphabet over to ℤ/26ℤ, but that’s not a particularly satisfying answer.

  yeah cohomology can be particularly rough. look on the bright side though, at least you now have the tools to answer this question:

  exactly!

  and i am always in favor of counting with fingers. we were given them for a reason, might as well make the most of them. counting is hard enough as it is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lab toys⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i was in a group call with 6 mathematicians, and it came time to order our names in the paper we were writing. in math papers, the names are always ordered alphabetically. we had to pull up a picture of the alphabet because none of us could remember which way the letters are ordered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This feels wrong. I love it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ah true. i missed the context of the original comment since it got deleted, but you’re completely right that the “1 is a scalar while i is a vector” statement is not entirely accurate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This feels wrong. I love it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  after you spend enough time with complex numbers, the real numbers start to feel wrong

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This feels wrong. I love it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  whether or not i is a scalar depends entirely on the context.

  every vector space has an associated field of coefficients. in practice, this field is typically the real numbers. but you can have lots of other kinds of vector spaces as well, and they can be useful for certain things.

  anyways, if you have a vector space over the complex numbers, then i is a scalar, because it is a complex number. if you have a vector space over the real numbers, then i is not a scalar, because it’s not a real number.

  its worth mentioning that you can view the complex numbers as a vector space over itself. this is just a fancy way of saying that you can add complex numbers together, and you can multiply a complex number by a complex number. (one of those numbers is playing the role of scalar, and the other is playing the role of vector.) but you can also view the complex numbers as a vector space over the real numbers. and this is just a fancy way of saying that you can add complex numbers, and you can multiply a complex number by a real number.
