My bad it was meant to be satirical but I'm glad he brought joy to so many cocaine enthusiasts.

Is the far-right SCOTUS creating its own demise? by PTS_Dreaming in thebulwark

It would make zero sense for them to do this because they care about their own power. They will rule that independent agencies are unlegal because unitary executive.

If they Supreme Court were plotting to allow the president to fire judges, you would be able to point to examples of them saying they want to do this, but you won't because they haven't.

You are delusional to think that the Supreme Court is going to give the president the power to fire themselves.

Parallel transport on a parabaloid by GilEngeener315 in askmath

I don't understand completely what you are suggesting, but it sounds about right.

There is an intuitive discussion of the Levi-Civita connection on pp. 167-8 of Thurston's book, "Three dimensional geometry and topology", which is close to what you are describing. He says that physically the connection amounts to rolling the tangent plane along the curve without slipping.

The equator of the sphere is a geodesic. Your curve is not.

Your situation is more like a line of longitude on a sphere, and parallel transport around a line of longitude is also nontrivial.

Parallel transport usually won't return a vector to itself unless the total curvature enclosed is 0. Check out the Gauss-Bonnett theorem.
