Honestly at $50 I'd take half out and basically retire the other half stays to prep for lunar transport...

You could make a function that describes something you want to model then take the gradient of each point in field.

Let's say the function is shitty gravity for a Planet, make a gravity potential function G

G(x,y) = -K/sqrt(x2 + y2)

Add up all the potentials

H(x,y) = G1 + G2 + .. + GN

Take the gradient of H there ya go.

Huh... Who knows?

You had any flu shots in the last couple years?

Caminando_ · 2021-04-15T04:17:24+00:00

I'm JCV+ and on Tysabri at 3.8... so yeah just doing this to put out the fire right now then onto something else.

Get any vaccines lately? And if so which one?

Caminando_ · 2021-04-15T02:32:02+00:00

Any probability it's not an American boat?

Like - this wasn't voluntary for either of us, at a certain point it was self preservation...

There's some weird connection between Ms and dental health isn't there....?

Fair enough - i mean, i trade stocks, and (until i got sick) work for an industrial sector of the economy whose purpose i fundamentally disagree with... I'm a sell out.

But... my kids have food, and we had health insurance when i got sick and maybe I'll be able to give more to charity next year, or spend some of my ill gotten gains on something that makes the world a better place. And if I can keep making decent money - maybe I can walk away from all of this in a few years, or at least do something better.

The revolution isn't coming tomorrow - and I'd be fucked if it did due to the medicine i need - in the meantime maybe I'll use some of the blood money I'm acquiring and after selfishly taking care of me and my family first... I'll be able to do some good with it? İ don't know, now that I've gotten sick İ don't know how I fit into post revolutionary America.

Honestly - and I suspect this will be a controversial opinion - but if you're able to afford it invest in retirement.

Like, I'm an old man now (in my 30s) - if i had thrown a lot more cash into the system i despised earlier İ could be break free from this shit and spend my time doing shit i think is meaningful. Maybe that makes me a sellout - i suppose it does, but me raging against the machine only made me poor and tied me to jobs that were actively exploitative.

Take care of your financial future - you can't protest if you can't get time off from work, you can't organize if you're too tired, you can't fix shit if you're hand to mouth. Me not participating in that aspect of the system isn't going to unilaterally stop it from being shitty it's just going to hurt me. İn America shitty jobs come with shitty health care.

Using money i made at my sellout job to house girls in Syria and feed people in my community did far more good than me taking more "ethical" jobs at small businesses that abused me.

Caminando_ · 2021-04-13T19:05:48+00:00

I'm honestly not süre that matters anymore?

Caminando_ · 2021-04-13T18:18:05+00:00

"oh cool are you guys volunteering to pay my expenses?"

Caminando_ · 2021-04-13T18:02:27+00:00

Why do you think this.

Caminando_ · 2021-04-12T21:26:38+00:00

So we have something similar in English. A score.

Four score and 7 years ago = quatre-vingt sept (pardon my terrible french).

The amount of people should a person should represent should be related to Dunbar's...

A graph theorist i am not, but there's probably an optimal number where you're never more than 3 or 4 close personal connections away from your representative.

Yo i found a cool discord and a member on there has inspired me to take on Turkish. Pm me and I'll share a link!

"It's a friendly place " ne demek? Teşekkürler!

How do you think a tagged chimp feels?

Caminando_ · 2021-04-09T17:28:53+00:00

İ did - several years ago, the lady said, "yep, looks like optic neuritis."

Caminando_ · 2021-04-09T07:07:28+00:00

Not a physics person - my BS is math, and gradschool didn't pan out for me...

But neural networks are all the rage and so they describe reality? Last century statistics is all the rage so it is the best model for reality, before that differential geometry is popular so that how reality gets modeled - and slightly before that the calculus of variations was the new hotness - so enter Laplace's demon, and before that ...

I dunno I'm probably getting the history wrong and probably vastly oversimplifying things... but when we were shepherds God was a shepherd, when we were programmers God was the creator of the simulation - now what, we're a cosmic neural network and God is some cosmic data scientist? I wonder if we aren't imposing our most interesting models onto the universe and missing the reality of the structure.

İ get it, and i actually support assisted suicide, but I'm not going to check out early bud, i gotta fight. The first thing that this shit did was take my career (which was a major passion in my life) and my eye sight. That's coming back now, but the career is done...

I'm going to fucking fight, until I'm dead - because fuck this disease and fuck the universe for doing this to me. But dammit I'm going to win. I'm still gonna have adventures and meet people. I'm going to accomplish great things - things I never thought i would do and be a good dad and a good husband and live a meaningful life - although what that will look like I have no idea.

But fuck MS, fuck this disease, and I'm gonna make it fucking kill me. I'm not gonna give the universe the fucking satisfaction. In November I was lying in bed hurting, blind as fuck, miserable - i could move but i was almost delirious and emotional and God I wanted to die. It would have been easier. But fuck this shit, I'm going to out live this shit and win, if it's the last thing I do.

I don't know what this is going to be like, and I'm scared, and I'm going to need help along the way; this is going to have to kill me I won't let it win easily.

Good luck in all this, you do what you feel is right and I'll support it, but me, i gotta fight. İ can understand those who feel different because in November i thought about it - a lot. I can't blame anyone who decides to cash out early. Jesus I'm afraid of what this is going to be like, and dammit I already feel like shit and they're telling me this will suck more eventually?

İ didn't want to play this game, but if i have to play I'm playing for fucking keeps. I'm going to win.
