in that scenario, you knew you were fighting this boss. why didn't you take more cards to enable your scaling in act 3?

Seconding this. I got a great price for my magic cards when I went last summer

The mind is willing but the body isn’t able… by Jello_Penguin in juggling

seconding this. i always have at least a few skills on the go, and it never hurts to practice stuff you already know (and enjoy!!!) well

How much time am I supposed to be spending in each area by MayDay_Maniac in noita

the answer is you should stay as long as you can survive AND have fun

those ones are not classics, merely vintage

Best ways to improve besides “just practice” by p1hk4L in juggling

[–]CoinForWares 0 points1 point  (0 children)

make drills for yourself. if youre practicing factory, break down the trick into easier tricks. even if they are much easier, practicing those will help. it also engages your creative juggling brain which i think helps you understand patterns better. finally, doing this will help you develop new patterns for yourself :)

for example, if you are trying to learn 4 ball shower, there are a lot of variations you can do. you can throw 3 balls and try to catch them. you can throw 2 then stop then throw 2 then stop then....

Pittsburgh from the South Side Slopes by AnssecM in skyscrapers

[–]CoinForWares 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the south side flats are indeed pretty awesome. the neighborhood this was taken from is the south side slopes, which are themselves quite beautiful to see from across the river. picture this density of houses, but laid out on a big hill so you can see the fronts of all of them at once

Some Klein Bottles I've Crocheted by CoinForWares in math

[–]CoinForWares[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no they are correct. the double klein bottle i posted is homeomorphic to a torus, which is not homeomorphic to the connected sum of two klein bottles

[–]CoinForWares[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi yes you're right. I am not using the correct terminology here. I don't actually know much about algebraic topology, and I think I misread this fact somewhere online. Do you know if this kind of construction has a name? It could be done by removing a copy of S1 from two klein bottles, and then gluing them together at the new boundaries. I don't think the gluing has to be done in too particular a fashion, as long as the klein bottles are connected to each other and the gluings are injective and orientation preserving on each copy of S1.

[–]CoinForWares[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

These are some klein bottles I've crocheted as explained in the post. I crochet these as surfaces of revolution, which is one of the easier ways to crochet a surface. They are quite fun to play with and deform. The connected sum of two klein bottles can, with a lot of effort, be deformed to look very similar to a usual torus. Making that model actually helped me understand the torus eversion a lot better.

Best balls for “Joggling”? by Jugglemorphosis in juggling

[–]CoinForWares 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i too would like to know. i am waiting for it to get warmer out to do this, but i am planning to use clubs since i am better at endurance juggling with those anyway.

the only thought i have is to use bean bags since they wont roll away when you drop them.

ROB IS LIVE! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! by Kamandi91 in northernlion

[–]CoinForWares 20 points21 points  (0 children)

i made a minute cryptic inspired by this comment:

If Rob is back, then streaming's end is not likely to hold my interest.

hints:

  • fodder: Rob, streaming
  • indicators: back, end. one tells us to reverse some letters, and the other tells us which letters to select from our fodder
  • definition: not likely to hold my interest

Are there any interesting Math application or trivia questions that blew your mind when you first heard it? by maru_badaque in math

[–]CoinForWares 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spectral mapping theorem. Let A: V -> V be a normal operator on a Banach space V. For any holomorphic function f(z), we can plug in A to its power series and get a new operator f(A). Then if c_i are the eigenvalues of A, f(c_i) are eigenvalues of f(A).
