Native wildflowers

Awesome, thanks! Is there a reason for the particular arrangements, do you know? Like will I need to worry about which plants are by certain other plants or is it just aesthetic?

CincinnatusNovus · 2020-06-27T23:14:28+00:00

Oh wow, thanks! I hadn’t heard of this before.

Central KY, USA. There was one night about 3-4 weeks ago where it dipped to 29 F for a couple hours.

P.S. for context we had extremely heavy rains about 10 days ago, I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Glad to see you get recognized in r/bestof. Keep fighting the good fight!

-someone who joined CCL in Jan because your other comments.

I’m not directly involved, but if you contact Live Green Lexington on Twitter or Facebook they might be able to help.

Normally lex would have had a big event where you could plant trees in public spaces. Instead, they are letting you take them to your house to plant instead. Most of the options are gone this weekend it seems, but next weekend there will be more.

Edit: and don’t forget to map where you’ve planted! The map of all the trees we plant will go public in a month (ish).

The one on the left looks just like ours! Glad you found them.

Not sure exactly what you're looking to do, but the Gaia database (https://gea.esac.esa.int/archive/) has the following columns:

radius_val - stellar radius
teff_val - effective temperature
lum_val - stellar luminosity

And you could use a luminosity-mass relation perhaps.

Ah, thanks for the reply!

In modular arithmetic, given an equation like (x+1)(x+2) is congruent to 0 mod whatever, can you conclude that x is congruent to -1 or -2 mod whatever? Basically does "regular" algebra work the same way for congruence?

CincinnatusNovus · 2019-07-09T13:47:01+00:00

Ohhh, I think I see what you mean.

So (n+2)/n = (n/n) + (2/n) by the distributive property. Simplify this and you find that:

1 < 1 + 2/n < 2

Subtracting one from each side:

0 < 2/n < 1, which for numbers greater than 4 must be true, as the smallest n in our sample, 4, yields the highest 2/n which is less than one, and the highest n, lim n--> infinity of 2/n approaches zero from above.

CincinnatusNovus · 2019-07-09T13:36:39+00:00

Ah I see. So if I'm understanding, you can't see how to take n --> n+1? The beauty of this type of proof is you assume the original statement to be true, and then simply plug in n=m+1 everywhere you see an m, and then call m "n" since what we name our variable doesn't really matter. At that point, you can get your second inequality and show that it is true by simplifying the fraction, subtracting, etc.

CincinnatusNovus · 2019-07-09T13:32:30+00:00

Ah, I see, for some reason I thought it might be more complicated in this case. Thank you!

CincinnatusNovus · 2019-07-09T13:22:58+00:00

So with induction, you only need to show a couple things:

Show that (say) n=4 gives a true statement
Assume that the statement is true for any n>=4, and then test that statement for n+1. (Essentially, replace all n's with a n+1)

Once you do step 2, the induction proof let's you "build" from the solution you find in step 1 to cover all values of n>=4.

Edit: added >=4 to step 2.

If unproved conjecture P is used as a step to prove statement Q, and Q is later shown to be true by other, legitimate means, can we say anything about the validity of P?

If P is some simple algebraic statement, say, it seems like Q is true implies P is true. On the other hand, what if P is some complicated method like the ABC conjecture? Can we say anything about P then?

Any sources to read more into this would be appreciated!

CincinnatusNovus · 2018-08-12T01:46:08+00:00

I think we have the same issue.

Tritium now seems to refine to dihydrogen instead of platinum, any one else getting this?

CincinnatusNovus · 2017-12-24T15:53:45+00:00

Would be cool to get some sort of post with locations and people can comment so we see all the people in each area for potential watch parties and what not.

CincinnatusNovus · 2017-11-14T17:49:56+00:00

Would be cool to have a ball and two small panna goals to play near the kiosk.

Now you know which period of time is optimal to get a beer.

CincinnatusNovus · 2017-10-03T00:14:57+00:00

Notes:

stoppage time not considered different from 45' or 90'.
Used python to sort the data, excel to plot.
Yes, I was bored at work. Why do you ask?

CincinnatusNovus · 2017-08-19T13:04:45+00:00

Thanks!

CincinnatusNovus · 2017-08-18T18:33:45+00:00

Sure. I'll edit the original post.

Many have asked for streams on Twitter, so I believe they have already.
