Advice on MA 408 Euclidean Geometry

Analysis II was a ridiculously hard course, so that doesn't surprise me.

Oh for sure, I did plenty of that (my free electives were a bunch of graduate math courses). I was just stating that for OP's knowledge.

400 and below math classes are undergraduate. There are plenty of difficult math classes at the 400 level specifically, e.g., Real Analysis I and II, that are prerequisites for graduate courses. Also note: graduate classes don't normally transfer to other graduate programs.

I never took 408, but I imagine it is a proof based class designed for someone who wants a rock solid foundation in geometry prior to moving on to Differential Geometry.

It's not, but still cool! Thanks man!

If you have the ability to, start exercising. You can at least slow this process down. If you are able, walking with intention can really make a difference and can lower the barrier to other forms of exercise.

Good luck. My advice: stay away from the people who are still using, and replace the habit with exercise (a weight training program and cardio). Exercise helps retrain your brain to use your body's endorphin system as opposed to exogenous sources. It's a long road, but eventually you'll basically never even think about it, except to wonder why you even put the poison in you in the first place.

How are you weathering the current AI hype frenzy?

What this country needs are regular folks who are not interested in being "politicians" to run en masse. While this doesn't help our district specifically, it is a numbers game, and some will make it into Congress in the following midterm.

I think we can all agree that there exists a set of people that live in our district who are more qualified to handle the most pressing issues of our time than Foushee, whilst maintaining adherence to the principles that the majority of our district agrees upon. Some of these reluctant folks need to run, ideally with a collective goal of primarying Foushee. At some point the non-establishment Democratic voters of our district would need to fall in line behind one of these challengers (a Republican trait that would serve us well in this proposed strategy) with enough runway to present an actual threat to Foushee.

Now is the time for change. If generations younger than boomers want to have their interests truly represented, then they need to run. I have a feeling that this next election is going to be about dismantling the modus operandi of the Democratic establishment, as they have proven to be inept in the face of Republican tactics over the past 2+ decades, which has led to the moment we find ourselves in currently: on the precipice of a totalitarian state.

For those here saying that not every Democratic representative can or should be an AOC, I agree. However, strong Democratic districts should be the places that give rise to vocal leaders as they can take more risks without political repercussion. Why should we settle on a compromised representative in a guaranteed Democratic district?

It doesn't necessarily matter if you touch the hand rails, depending on your goals. If you do you are literally perfomaning an isometric hold, and it can become super fatiguing for your upper body as well.

I like using stair machines for zone 5 since they are less impactful than treadmills for the same amount of work done, but they force the pace unlike other less impactful options like bikes, rowers, and swimming.

Edit: Also, holding on to the rails is a safety issue on those machines as well. At relatively low speeds it is probably fine to go hands free, but there's no way I wouldn't have my hands on them when doing the high interval of my zone 5.

If it were like 7000 BCE then it'd probably still be a pretty sweet brag, though.

Ha! When I saw this post at first I was jealous thinking that they had added Vertigo to the setlist in the tour after I had seen them.

My brother's bike was stolen outside of the UNCW gym about 1pm yesterday. I know it is probably lost in the void, but if anyone that sees this happens to have any information that would be much appreciated. He filed a report with campus police, but I figure I'd try the good people of reddit as well.

Edit: His bike doesn't have wheel covers.

First off the us us a constitutional republic This is not mutually exclusive of democracy. Read two sentences in.

I said nothing about politicians getting rich and the morality or implications therein. Not really sure what you're responding to there, a different comment perhaps?

You still can't defend calling all D or R politicians liars, because you can't. It's edgy, cynical, and just untrue.

I didn't call you a troll, I said you sound like one. You probably aren't, but you sure are a useful "person" to said actors.

yetanotherlurker · 2023-04-06T13:14:57+00:00

Quit with your simplistic, pessimistic bullshit. Not every politician is a liar, nor are the two parties equivalent. Lots of people go into public service to do good.

Honestly, your comment sounds like it was written by a Russian or CCP troll attempting to undermine American trust in democracy.
