Mods please change my name to "Tooter Skeleton" TIA.


derivatives and integrals I got because of the graphical representation (area under a graph, gradient of a line) of it, beyond the linear stuff though (i.e. university level engineering maths) it all went off the deep end into poo poo like "as you know the derivative of cos X is <thing you just have to remember>, now here are hyperbolics which we're not gonna explain and you've just gotta learn as well, oh and here are laplace transforms, we're not gonna explain those either"

I didn't know a single person whose response to trig algebra wasn't "gently caress that, it makes no sense" whenever we had to do it.

if only we'd had youtube

he pitched some fit in 2003 outing himself because he thought that he was going to be outed in a profile in entertainment weekly.

i listened to an interview with terry gross around 2010 and he is one of those gays who go through an obvious serious internal crisis every time they are called on to say the words 'i am gay'

anyway he's been living with a dude since the early 90s and living his life. the queer reading of fight club is supertext not subtext.



as a palate cleanser:
here is lynn conway. she's a transwoman who was fired in 1968 for transitioning while working as an engineer at ibm.
she went stealth and worked for xerox parc and was responsible for many advances.
here is her website https://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/conway.html

that's the claim at least. i've encountered a few other "recycling" artisan shops and it's not uncommon for them to bury a rider in the purchasing agreement that they "may" (read: will) sell the surrendered item for material to build the finished item. i don't know where claire's dune sword came from so i can't say for sure but i'd treat the claim with skepticism unless you can visit the shop and watch it end to end.

I always remembered it as "the steel is only as strong as the flesh that drives it" but not only is that not the thing, there is no canonical answer to it because it's a crom koan
