Protesters urged not to give trump administration pretext for what it is already doing

edit: Oh, what the hell. Let’s add a snippet.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass publicly urged protesters Monday not to give the Trump administration any pretext for what they’re already doing and will keep doing no matter what. “Angelenos—don’t engage in violence and give the administration an excuse to inflict all the damage they have been inflicting carte blanche for months on end,” said Bass, adding that Trump and his team are just looking for a reason to respond with violence, as they would have done whether or not any of this happened.

Has anyone tried folding their arms?

I drank it twice. But I also drank it once.

Because ASS.

This motherfucker’s snackin’ on bees and you’re just gonna reach your arm in there?

How about knocking first? Rude.

It’s the HTTP version of “great job.”

Who do I think I am, anyway?

Yeah I thought it would be a lot more Robocop 2.

Everyone certainly did not agree. A very sizable segment of US citizens were Nazi sympathizers before and after WWII. Remember what it took for the United States to get involved in the war effort in the first place.

Yo, where my base case at?

I don’t know, sanity is feeling pretty radical at the moment

“Thousands of my countrymen will perish, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.”

Americans are increasingly concerned about Donald Trump’s age and fitness as dictator

I’ll give it a shot.

We can use vector spaces for thinking about things that aren’t primarily concerned with physical space like we are in Blender. Let’s imagine something practical, if a bit absurd. Pretend we have unlimited access to three kinds of dough. Each has flour, water, and yeast in different ratios. What we don’t have is access to the individual ingredients.

Suppose we want a fourth kind of dough which is a different ratio of the ingredients from the doughs we have. If the ratios of the ingredients of the three doughs we already have are unique, then we are in luck! We can make that dough we want by combining some amount of the three we have. In fact, we can make any kind of dough that is a combination of those three ingredients. In linear algebra, this is called linear independence.

Each dough is a vector, and each ingredient is a component. We have three equations (doughs) in three variables (ingredients).

This is a three dimensional vector space, which is easy to visualize. But there is no limit to how many dimensions you can have, or what they can represent. Some economic models use vectors with thousands of dimensions representing inputs and outputs of resources. Hopefully my explanation helps us see how vectors can sometimes be more difficult to imagine as directions and magnitudes.

… That’s enough real analysis for me today. Or ever, really.

If you can show supporters of a populist that everyone else is jumping ship, they will too.

Better the tester than a user.

Yeah, you’d need a whole-ass Power Glove for something like that.

I have used the following justifications in proofs on math exams

“By hope, prayer”

“By some vague understanding of what’s going on”

The second one got 7/10.
