Hope you aren't using a phone to send this. Who knows what could happen during that time. Maybe someone puts the big red launch nukes button under your foot and you start nuclear winter when you go to stand up.

Oh, true. Doubly hopefully stopped if they're that close to the vehicle in front of them.

Looks like some sort of red light is off to the side, so probably stopped?

You can rule them suicides/accidents sometimes.

Curious how compatibility with a high-sex-drive ace and a low-sex-drive allo would compare typically.

Gimp is really bad with exporting large PDFs. Like 60 pages and it crashed my 16gb ram laptop because it ran out of memory after like spending at least an hour.

And you explain it by shocking them?

Plus side of being federated is it's easy to just switch to one of your alts on another instance and still be able to use it.

Trump rapes people of all ages and MAGA react by accusing trans people of being abusers.

even a child can understand acceleration and its relationship to changes in velocity

I remember trying to figure out if a specific infinite sequence converges or diverges because I was playing Sonic. I didn't have any algebra nor calculators that could handle precise calculations nor the terminology I refer to it as now, so I was just trying to guess by doing calculations by hand to see if it looked like it was plateauing to something or if it looks like it was gonna keep growing.

Not sure if its actually useful, but it was something I cared about regardless. Children should play with math more.

Like 90% of concepts from those classes wouldn’t really help people in the world around them, not just “they won’t use integrals daily” but rather they won’t be taught in a way where they’ll connect differentials to what they see in the world or news.

That's one of the things I find most disappointing about the education system. Like, people technically pass classes that are supposed to ensure they've "mastered" certain concepts, but few seem to even notice how they could be applied outside a narrow scope of specifically worded problems. Its so strange hearing people say things like "unless I'm like a math teacher, this is all useless for me outside of class" when calculus specifically was something that I could immediately connect to problems I had outside school immediately.

Even when taking classes that seem to be designed around trying to build real-world problem-solving skills, the classes generally seem to devolve into teachers teaching an algorithm for solving a hyper-specific question, assigning homework doing those hyper-specific question types over and over, and then testing on those hyper-specific questions with different numbers. Those students seem to be virtually no better at identifying how to apply math to real-world problems after such courses...

I feel like calculus should probably start to be introduced in like maybe late-elementary-age? Certainly before high-school-age. I don't think everyone needs a dedicated 1-year course on it, but some of the concepts are certainly useful and understandable at that age. Regardless of whether its from compulsory education or some alternative education process.
