This shape could exist as a projection onto an upright cylinder, wrapping around the cylinder. The two straight edges go vertically along opposite sides of the cylinder. The curved lines wrap around the circumference. The lines are now straight and parallel on the net of the cylinder.

But we can go further: Imagine taking this cylinder and extending it. Wrap it into a loop by connecting the top to the bottom so it forms a torus (doughnut) shape. This connects both sides of the shape, now all “interior” angles are on the inside of the square, and all “exterior” angles are on the outside. The inside and outside just happen to be the same side.

“boomer” in this is just being used as slang for “old people”.

I feel like that might have been the point. Rather than “using a car to go from A to B” they walked.

Sourcing the carbon from the atmosphere is still better than getting it from the ground. It turns a net positive emission source into net zero.

Arithmetic coding is one of my favorite algorithms. Any token predictor can be converted into an entropy encoder!

I have not once mentioned the media in my comments. Please do not misunderstand. They all were pertaining to your and @opinionhaver’s interaction

If they are incorrect, lying, and don’t realize it, but still arguing in good faith, then their arguments will fall short when challenged. If they are arguing in bad faith, then it’s a different story.

I’ll admit the claims they made are perhaps overly broad and difficult to challenge, but it is entirely within the realm of possibility that they can back it up with examples / evidence.

Jumping straight to calling them out is pretty disingenuous. Even if their points are more disingenuous and misleading, you shouldn’t be fighting fallacy with another fallacy.

Then engage with the discussion??? It’s very frustrating reading your comments actively shutting down discourse.

Here I’ll do it for you: I disagree with @opinionhaver because I think that filling stadiums in red and swing states is a tangible metric that is at least correlated with general election support. I think that Trump is even more polarizing than AOC, and so her polarization isn’t as much of an issue as they make it out to be.

There. Now we find out how substantial their position is when they defend it, instead of just crying about talking points

It may be worth it to decide how we define ‘unstoppable force’ and ‘immovable object’.

An Immovable Object has 0 velocity:

v = 0

Acceleration is the time derivative of velocity:

a = d/dt(v(t))

a = d/dt(0)

a = 0

And we know that

a = F_net / m

An object with infinite mass would satisfy this equation, but an object with no net force would too. We could add a correction force that will satisfy the constraint of 0 net force.

|F_net| = 0

∑F_i = 0

F_correction + … = 0

To satisfy Newton’s 3rd law, we would need a reaction force to our correction force somewhere, but let’s not worry about that for now.

A physics definition of ‘Unstoppable Force’ is:

|F_unstoppable| =/= 0

In this case the gravitational force fits this description, given a few constraints

F_g = Gm∑ M_i / x_i²

As long as the gravitational constant G is not 0, our object has mass, and

∑ M_i / x_i² =/= 0, then

|F_g| > 0

But this does feel kinda like cheating because it’s not really what people mean by ‘unstoppable force’. the other way to define it is just immovable object in a different reference frame.

a = 0, |v| > 0

I’m gonna stop here because this is annoying to type out on mobile

When did we even decide the proper course of action for dealing with gangs was to deport them? Everyone is debating whether he’s a gang member but even if he was, he shouldn’t have been deported.

Something I figured out that was handy for guessing some human pieces was trying to figure out what the prompt would have been for generating the image. If I couldn’t formulate with words what the image was, then it was more likely a human artist.

On the other hand, looking at light, shadow, and reflections to see if everything made sense really didn’t help.

Nuh-uh! You can configure Minecraft to use all that memory to run buttery smooth. Just make sure to not play longer than 15 minutes so you don’t get the mother-of-god lagspike when the garbage collector finally runs.

If that’s what they meant, I’m still gonna have to disagree, or at least point out that we are well below that level of funding where there are diminishing returns.

The quality of the ‘basics’ matter, I believe teacher salary has a direct correlation to the quality of teachers. My current school (a community college), which is well-run is being forced to cut programs right now because they cant afford it. Our bookstore is closed. One of my professors needs to also work at a different school to support her child. Another of my professors was in a panic when his heater broke and he had to figure out to get it fixed cheap.

I get that there are a lot more factors than money at play, but when you start taking a look at these problems, money is the common denominator and bottleneck for a lot of schools.

Are you suggesting that the quality of education will go down with more school funding? That doesn’t seem very logical.
