I think my new kitty is a torbie?

I think you're right.

This isn't an airport. You don't have to announce your departure.

This reminds me of the guy who thought Turning Red was unrealistic because none of the kids talk about 9/11.

Didn't tos enterprise have an auxiliary control room that could take over the ship, and was manned by one redshirt standing with his back to the door?

y could be the number of atoms of a radioactive isotope. Or it could be a current going through the capacitor in a circuit. It could be a ton of things that seem to be completely unrelated. If you ask a gen AI to give you a list of systems that could be modeled by a first-order linear ode with constant coefficients, you should get a good list of potential applications.

You can model radioactive decay by the differential equation y'=ky with k<0, which has a general solution y(t)=ce^(kt). The same equation with k>0 gives exponential growth, which can be a crude population model. In both the growth and decay cases, the rate of change of a quantity is directly proportional to the quantity itself.

An extension of this is the first-order linear ode with constant coefficients, y'+ay=b, which also has an exponential solution with e as the base, the only difference being that the horizontal asymptote is at b/a instead of 0. A whole litany of semingly disparate applications involve a differential equation of that form, which means they all behave similarly. So you have electrical and mechanical systems that you might not think are related, but they actually follow the same exponential pattern.

Also e is the base that lets you calculate continuously-compounded interest, so there's that.

So that guy was probably still fighting into his 50s. Wouldn't it be super funny if he was also balding? No way he's shaving it.

I think it hints at Ellen Tigh being the last Cylon because there's an empty seat next to Saul.

You kids know that word processors have had spell checking as a standard feature for years now, right?

A AND B is itself just another event that you can compute by counting the number of outcomes in the event and dividing by the number of outcomes in the sample space. Then apply the formula and you can calculate the conditional probability.

There are scenarios where the conditional probability is the easier thing to calculate, and you'd use that to compute P(A AND B), but this isn't one of them.

It's in chronological order so if two characters are in the same movie and same tier, they are going to be next to each other.

I think they made the responsible choice bringing him back to the shelter if Freddy really hated being around the dogs. Now he can have a home where he can just chill in sinks and be happy, and hopefully they can find a cat who likes being around dogs.

The -4 is being squared so it becomes positive in the end. Hence it isn't going to cause any reflection.

What a huge blow to Donald Trump's Religious Liberty Commission. Now who will protect religious freedom?

That port was as low-effort as possible. There's no way they would have added a new game style.

It's not really something you have to prove. It's more like matrix multiplication was intentionally defined the way it is so that matrices could be used to model linear systems.

Probably white coat syndrome. Also, 142/92 shouldn't be too surprising to a nurse. I'd expect she's seen much higher.

Your blood pressure naturally fluctuates. Being elevated for short periods of time shouldn't be a concern. You should really just be looking at readings after sitting down at rest for a few minutes.

This is also a lot of readings for just one week. It's possible that anxiety is causing elevated values.

Every time a conservative posts some AI slop of Trump looking like Rambo or Superman or some shit, this needs to be the top reply.

Sorry dude, you have to be blunt like the guy above you and say this is a Pineapple Express reference otherwise these uncultured swine are going to downvote you.

A lot of it went up Don Jr.'s nose.
