e^(ix) = cos(x) + i sin(x)

That is the euler relationship. You can use that relationship to convert any expression with a trig function into an expression of exponentials and imaginary numbers. "Euler's formula" is a good search term if you want to learn more

Shout out to the euler relationship for allowing me to forget every single trig identity I ever learned

I think milquetoast is the word you want; milktoast is phonetically correct but that spelling refers to a breakfast dish.

Kinda. The bald jd vance meme format should be having a field day with this image and my greatest regret right now is that I dont have the digital photo manipulation skills to make that a reality

There are plenty of free and open source pgp tools out there. Nothing is stopping you from encrypting your own text and pasting it into messaging apps. Even if you dont trust some tool from the internet, sha2 isnt that hard to understand or implement with a bit of motivation

Avocado toast is one of the many things disingenuous conservative media has used to blame millennials for the economic situation we grew up in. "They wouldn't be in such poor financial situation if they stopped paying $15 for avocado toast at brunch every day"

That being said... avocado toast rocks and that is an opinion shared by all of my friends of my age lol. Personally I like mine with a fried egg and hot sauce

Absolute banger. The new diagonal down air doesn't hit the same for me as the OG hollowknight dair but im about 15 hours in so far and thats my only complaint

I used to do design work on intra-aircraft information systems. Commercial airliners are almost entirely automated; I'd be comfortable with the pilot taking off, immediately falling asleep till just before landing, then waking up to land. Even if they are awake during the flight, 99.9% of the time the correct action for a pilot is "let autopilot cook." Even in those 0.1% other situations, the cockpit has like 15 or 20 different systems lovingly referred to by aircrew as "bitching betty" to sound loud annoying alarms and flash bright lights at the pilots if the any part of the plane needs attention for any reason.

 

I saw and was upset by the way trans men are treated in some of the other trans spaces on this platform about a month ago, and it has been making me think about yall a lot. It made me do some introspection about my own experiences, and I realized that trans men were either not present or not visible in the male spaces I (a cis man) was part of growing up. I saw another meme about gender affirming male lonliness, and it hit me with a "bro, you're just like me" kinda vibe.

My conclusion is that like... I want to try to more proactively accept and advocate for trans men. This is somewhat hampered by the fact that ive never known any trans men well, and I dont really know much about your experience. Bluntly, I'm a bit ignorant and I'd like to change that. I've got a few questions that I'll list below, but also like I'd love it if you want to just say hi and chat and tell me about yourself. Anyway, here goes

  1. Do you engage in or participate in traditional male spaces?

  2. If yes to 1, are you open about being trans in these spaces? Do you feel excluded or discriminated against in these spaces due to being trans?

  3. If no to 1, do you want to be part of these spaces?

Finally, I want to apologize if this post is offensive. I promise that is not my intent, and if i am being offensive it is purely out of ignorance. If you do find me offensive, I would hugely appreciate if you explained how and why I am being offensive so I can try to learn from it and do better in the future

 

I can only claim partial credit for this one, but it holds a lot of meaning for me. Part of an old engineering notebook of mine that has since been repurposed into a sketchbook

 

Not sure if this comm was made specifically for the person who made it to post their work or for any post with the same general style. If its the former feel free to remove this post or I can take it down.

These are my unclassified test notes from a radar test event I ran a long time ago, along with 8 hours worth of doodling that happened while the event ran

 

This is my inventory after killing goo. XPD-HJC-HGR if anybody wants to play this amazing seed on a class where +1 strength ring and uncursed greataxe by floor 3 aren't wasted. The mimic tooth was a random trinket choice and I don't know if that is tied to the seed, but everything else is in visible rooms in the first 4 floors

 

Meme of two women fighting while a man smokes from a pipe in the background.

The women fighting are labeled "mathematicians defining pi" and "engineers just using 3 because it's within tolerance"

The man smoking is labeled "astrophysicists" and the pipe is labeled "pi = 1"

 

The Blister Exists, by slipknot. In case the link doesn't work properly. The drum part that starts at ~2:12 is imprinted on my psyche for the rest of my life. I smack my thighs hard enough to bruise air-drumming along to this song

 

Spirit bow has blooming and speed augment. Spawn grass and burn everything at range with the blazing crossbow buffed darts and sniper's mark ability, artifacts and haste armor ability to get away or run through the fire. This build did monstrous aoe damage, spawning massive blazes nearly every fight

The real star of this run was the parchment scrap. Since the update where energizing potions and scrolls identifies them, it feels very viable to identify all of the extra scrolls and potions from the first 4 floors by energizing them and pumping that into the parchment scrap. 10x enchantment/glyph find and 0x curse find on armor and weapons is a wild effect to have before floor 5. In the posted run I got a lucky weapon early with this strategy which snowballed into RoW drops, making a build that felt very strong starting on floor 4 and continuing for the rest of the game

 

I'm currently working on a PhD, and I had a meeting that felt like an intervention with my advisor where she encouraged me to take a few months away from the program to take care of myself. For context, I used to work for the airforce, and apparently I picked up some pretty severe mental health problems that have lead to not sleeping and panic attacks when I read papers about military hardware (not ideal when my current interest is hardware side cybersecurity).

What the fuck does "take care of yourself" mean? Like, I don't know what to do with my hands. I've spent my entire life with a fast paced schedule, either with school work or some other crisis I've needed to attend to. Now I'm like... trying to accept going to therapy and I'm doing yoga with some people in my research group a few times a week, but i don't know what to do with my time otherwise. I feel like smoking all of the weed in this state playing video games and rotting in bed isn't the answer, but that's where I'm at. I'd love any advice or to hear from anybody who's been in that position of being told to take a few months off for mental health
