[latent edge]

idk that's the japanese pronunciation

[timid bronze]

Ngl being married to a professional cook would be a win

[cyan goblet]

Idk in chinese it’s sha1 li2

Shā lí

[latent edge]

new word learned

thanks

[cyan goblet]

Cheers

[jagged forge]

as long as they're ok making mostly low carb dishes

[latent edge]

lmao

[timid bronze]

just make sure theyre not like amukh

putting only powdered sugar on bread and eating it

[latent edge]

wtf

WHAT THE FUCK

[jagged forge]

that was such an incredible photo

[latent edge]

i would be so mad

[velvet dagger]

Yeah that was one of his most iconic moments ever

[cyan goblet]

Top 10 desserts of the great depression

[jagged forge]

i did get a message on linkedin about a position on a team with a private chef one time

[timid bronze]

LMAO

[jagged forge]

which is crazy

[fresh comet]

from amukh

[cyan goblet]

LMFAOOOOO

[velvet dagger]

The best part is

[timid bronze]

id choke on that shit bruh

[velvet dagger]

If I didn't know it was powdered sugar

[latent edge]

I DID NOT WANT TO SEE THIS RAHHHH

[velvet dagger]

I'd have guessed that was a spread

[jagged forge]

like 70% of people who see that pic assume it's cream cheese

[timid bronze]

Hey i just met you
and this is crazy
but heres my number
So call me maybe

[latent edge]

that's what i'd assume yeah

but now u guys said it

im so mad

[timid bronze]

Im gonna say this to u when we trade after discord

[jagged forge]

wow that's a throwback lmao

[fresh comet]

remember that this is the same boy who put ice on his laptop to cool it down

[latent edge]

what in the actual haiku is this

[velvet dagger]

Frrrr

[velvet dagger]

No way you're this gen alpha

[jagged forge]

his genius knows no bounds

[timid bronze]

Its a song bru

[velvet dagger]

No way

[latent edge]

GEN ALPHA?

[velvet dagger]

Anyone who had consciousness in 2012 knows this song

[unkempt marlin]

should I measure theory rn

[timid bronze]

its so nostalgic fr

[latent edge]

well

i dont know it

[jagged forge]

yesss

[cyan goblet]

Wait genius asf

[fresh comet]

CRJ was quite the figure in the early 2010s

[timid bronze]

call me maybe is lowkey a song id sing for like a karaoke

[jagged forge]

tbh i dont think i heard any other songs by her. well i think there was one duo with her and someone else

[latent edge]

It's probably cuz i didnt care about english songs idk

[fresh comet]

Call Me Maybe

[jagged forge]

oh she was in that owl city song

[fresh comet]

Good Time

[unkempt marlin]

okay :p, I just got to the Lebesgue measure :3

[jagged forge]

aayyyyy yeah that one

[timid bronze]

dami next mathcord karaoke lets sing call me maybe @velvet dagger

[fresh comet]

with Owl City yeah

[velvet dagger]

LMAOOOO let's do it

[jagged forge]

what book r u using?

[fresh comet]

this one's fun to sing in the car on my commute

[cyan goblet]

I remember when I was young and I found out about call me maybe

[latent edge]

I do listen to a very old song and it's very controversial

[jagged forge]

i'm surprised i even remember how the song goes actually

[latent edge]

i dont think its appropriate to send here

[unkempt marlin]

Terry Tao's book and i feel so dumb for spending as much time as I did on the jordan measure

[cyan goblet]

I memorized the lyrics and my dad said “son wtf why are you singing about ripped jeans. What happened to them”

[jagged forge]

i did folland in a reading group but they skipped jordan measure entirely lmao

[unkempt marlin]

but like I REALLY wanted to understand it before I went to Lebesgue

[unkempt marlin]

A lot of books do that

[timid bronze]

@velvet dagger tell me how many songs u recognize on my playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QvPGyOqoWrbs8EaK3n9Cd?si=P--5AtwZRua7Tk_g7-yALQ&pi=8KUMlhFtQjyP5

its all throwback nostalgia

[jagged forge]

folland mentions to be clear it but our group skipped it

[unkempt marlin]

Like Royden and Rudin just skip to Outer Measures

[latent edge]

oh wow u listen to ariana grenade?

[unkempt marlin]

Do you like folland?

[latent edge]

JUSTIN BIEBER???!

[jagged forge]

i want it that way
this song is ANCIENT lmao

[latent edge]

💀

[unkempt marlin]

I've heard things about the book

[iron nimbus]

Roar too xD

[timid bronze]

OMG

STOP

I LOVE IT

[jagged forge]

oh no it's a good song

[timid bronze]

ari and justin for the throwbacks yes

not as main artists

[latent edge]

Ally do you actuall listen and like justin?

[timid bronze]

ari sometimes tho bc of her collabs with the weeknd

i dont like him as a person

i just listen to him for throwbacks

[latent edge]

okay so ur not from those people

[velvet dagger]

After the last karaoke session I know "I want it that way" fr

[latent edge]

thank god

[fresh comet]

this is quite long, but at a quick glance, I think I recognize maybe 40% of them? it could be 50%, even

[timid bronze]

Damn

[jagged forge]

me thinking ur talking about justin timberlake lmfao

[timid bronze]

id join in and sing along OMG

[latent edge]

I like Pink Floyd

[jagged forge]

tbh i didn't read it directly much since slides and exercises were prepared for the group, but i did like the approach, and i go back to it as a reference occasionally

[latent edge]

Folland is good

I haven't read all of it tho

[timid bronze]

this was my spotify wrapped too

top

even tho i dont listen to tate anymore

[latent edge]

idek tate but ok

when u say tate i think of tate's thesis

[velvet dagger]

Definitely have hard: 9, 17, 40, 56, 58, 70, 75, 83, 99 unfortunately

[timid bronze]

hard

Dang thats small

ur not a 2010 eras boy then fr

ive heard of them all (which is why theyre on there)

[velvet dagger]

Some of the others I might've heard but don't recognize them by title

[unkempt marlin]

ic ic

[timid bronze]

Dami can we call now

[velvet dagger]

Thing is before I went to Morocco I basically listened to no music at all

Once I was in Morocco most of my music consumption was on the radio

[unkempt marlin]

I have a completely random question but how synomymous are diff geo and dif top

[velvet dagger]

Similar but not synonymous

[velvet dagger]

Yes!

[timid bronze]

Yay give me a second

[fresh comet]

a lot of these are songs I find really fun to sing

[timid bronze]

Endearing hehe

[latent edge]

meoww

Differential topology studies topology of smooth manifolds, and your critereon is that things which are diffeomorphic are the same

The mantra here is that difftop is more "global"

[unkempt marlin]

What is the focus of differential topology? Is it just calculus on generic topological spaces? Like would diff geo be a subset of it considering that manifolds are a specific kind of top space or?

[latent edge]

why did I think of number theory when u said global

[jagged forge]

i've heard 8,9,10,17,18,27,40,49,53,56,58,70(),75,88,91,93,95,99

[latent edge]

think locally:
think globally:

[fresh comet]

Scars To Your Beautiful is a really nice song

love singing it

[latent edge]

OMG SUCH A BANGER I LOVE THIS SONG

[timid bronze]

Dami im feeling philosophy so

Philosophy talk pls.

[jaunty ibex]

Wow u recognized it

[velvet dagger]

Differential geometry tends to put some additional structure on top of the manifold. So you might have a Riemannian metric, and now diffeomorphic things might not be isometric anymore. The metric is more "local data", it cares about the lengths and angles around each point

[jaunty ibex]

mad respect

[timid bronze]

Oo i wanna hear u sing

[unkempt marlin]

what is an example of a local question? Like what happens with a homeo on some neighbourhood?

[velvet dagger]

Yee lez go

[jagged forge]

these songs are pretty nostalgic for me since a lot of them were on my playlist during my last (and only) relationship

[timid bronze]

Ok wait

i still need to

[latent edge]

i was talking about number theory sorry

[timid bronze]

Wash my face i have sunscreen on XD

[unkempt marlin]

ohr

[cyan goblet]

Geometry studies quantitative things (ie it has a metric), topology just studies qualitative things

That’s how I think abt geom vs topology

Oh dami already said that

Balls

[latent edge]

Balls

[unkempt marlin]

So if I take all of that away what is left to study?

[velvet dagger]

Well, idk about just qualitative vs quantitative so much as local vs global

Like okay you can take the degree of a smooth map between manifolds

[unkempt marlin]

Just the generic topological properties of a manifold?

[velvet dagger]

This is a number, and thus in a very strict sense quantitative

[velvet dagger]

Yeah if you have no structure on top of being a smooth manifold

Then all you can do is analysis and topology

[vivid halo]

ehh

[unkempt marlin]

that sounds kind of boring :(

[velvet dagger]

I mean... there's a lot you can do in topology for sure

[unkempt marlin]

I want my Derham's theorem and general stokes

[cyan goblet]

Ah yeah that’s better

[unkempt marlin]

and alll the gr stufff

[velvet dagger]

General Stokes doesn't need a metric

It comes from differential forms

Which are native to a smooth manifold

[unkempt marlin]

yee

I want to learn more about the stucture of differential forms

[jagged forge]

Derham
sounds like a redneck name when u write it like that

[velvet dagger]

("What if it's not orienta-" shut the fuck up before I whack you upside the head)

[vivid halo]

orientation sheaf

[unkempt marlin]

I was exposed to a lot of topology last semester with algebraic topology but like was so pariniod about "Oh I havent had a point-set class" that I ended up getting lost in weeds

[vivid halo]

characteristic classes

[unkempt marlin]

I'd like to strengthen my pointset before I go into next sem tho

[latent edge]

adeles and stuff made me realize how much i suck at topology

[velvet dagger]

Point-set topology is metric spaces + a bunch of nuisances you have to deal with once you're not in a metric space and have to start using adjectives like "first countable"

[cyan goblet]

I should go through and relearn alg top

[vivid halo]

the topology: 1-dimensional vector spaces

[latent edge]

LMFAOOOO

I understand them now tho

[vivid halo]

based

[latent edge]

[vivid halo]

have you done the basic computations around Tate's thesis

[latent edge]

the shift to adelic language was so worth it

yes i did

[vivid halo]

excellent

[latent edge]

I just made a tate's thesis 10 min ago somewhere here

[latent edge]

.

[vivid halo]

are you woke on the K-theoretic interpretation of the adeles and the Haar measure?

[latent edge]

not yet

[vivid halo]

https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.10856

[timid bronze]

@velvet dagger ignore too lazy to find ur dm

[jagged forge]

all spaces are at least sequential (im sure i will change my mind in a year)

[vivid halo]

K_1(LCA)=A*/Q*

[latent edge]

hmmm

im not familiar with ETNC

oh well new thing to learn ig

[vivid halo]

you don't have to be

that is the fancier version of this statement that you should ignore

[jagged forge]

thanks for the invoice DigitalOcean

[cyan goblet]

Don’t go spending too much now

[vivid halo]

but yeah it's very strange like you can very easily interpret the finite adeles in terms of \hat{Z}=\prod_p Z_p and this is just coming from localization at primes in Z

you can interpret R separately

[latent edge]

hmmm

[vivid halo]

but there isn't really an obvious way to interpret both simultaneously in such an obvious way

the category of locally compact Abelian groups does this though

[latent edge]

[vivid halo]

thinky

[latent edge]

this looks juicy

[vivid halo]

yeah this is good stuff

the equivariant Tamagawa number conjecture part of this paper is just giving some nicer interpretation of the usual relative K_0 that shows up in those conjectures

and explains how the equivariant Haar measure is showing up naturally

the "equivariant" part here is some technical generalization of Beilinson/Bloch-Kato type conjectures about motives and special values of L-functions where you are allowed to work with somewhat more general coefficients like group rings Z[G] or Hecke algebras (when motives carry additional symmetries, you should be able to break them up further according to those symmetries, and the L-functions should factor compatibly; think factoring a product of L-functions of modular forms once you let the Hecke action break the space up into Hecke eigenspaces)

The descent spectral sequence does not know that civilized people have chosen to use Tate cohomology at the infinite places and therefore it outputs what it always outputs: Plain Galois cohomology.

[latent edge]

@vivid halo Do you know this identity?

(a/p) is legendre symbol

[vivid halo]

looks familiar

[latent edge]

okay cool there is a version of this for quartic residues

but different "sine" function

and the primes run over Z[i]

[vivid halo]

right

[latent edge]

Now I'm curious if there is one for Z[omega]

I guess by guessing it should probably be a sextic residue

[vivid halo]

there is yes Eisenstein used this to prove cubic reciprocity

[latent edge]

he used the product?

[vivid halo]

yes

well with elliptic functions

but yes

[latent edge]

with elliptic functions?

okay that's cool

[vivid halo]

there are other ways to do this though

like you're just trying to compute some residue symbols e.g. in terms of Gauss sums

[latent edge]

now im curious what would it be in general for "nice" reciprocity laws

[vivid halo]

some of those Gauss sums can be written in terms of other special functions like this

[latent edge]

right

I was just more curious why the elliptic functions appeared

[vivid halo]

oh it's because you're working with the CM elliptic curves for Z[i] and Z[\omega]

[latent edge]

ohhhhh lmfao

[vivid halo]

anyways there is a reasonably explicit Eisenstein reciprocity law which is much more general than this related to results of Stickelberger and so on

and then of course you have Artin reciprocity in complete generality and it's reasonably well understood how to make these residue symbols explicit in loads of cases

[latent edge]

yeah i just cheated and proved eisenstein with artin

[vivid halo]

yeah that's reasonable lmao

but yeah idk there are cases of explicit class field theory that are better understood than others

like the imaginary quadratic case is very well understood while the totally real case is still very mysterious

[brave flare]

what is this, advanced lounge or something

i was pinged at some point

[latent edge]

makes sense

real quadratic fields are scary

[vivid halo]

yeah I mean none of these tricks with stuff like CM/Heegner points work at all

you can kind of get the results you want using p-adic methods but probably no straightforward analog using Archimedean methods

[latent edge]

hmm

[lavish kayak]

what are you studying today chat

ill read some hatcher and hopefully start working on a draft for a lecture ive got to present on a paper

[latent edge]

what paper

[lavish kayak]

😊 thanks for asking
miller and starchenko, "growth dichotomoy for O-minimal expansion of ordered groups"

if you know about o-minimality, then turns out that either all ordered groups are bounded, or you can define product and make it into a (definable) field

if you don't know about o-min, it's when you can only define finite unions of intervals and points

[vivid halo]

o-minimality is neat

[lavish kayak]

it's like math without the hard edges 😆

half the arguments are like.
this is a function: take the limit of something on it. It exists because o-min. also, it's monotonous. Also, something super important is finite.

so what are you studying today?

[velvet dagger]

how did u know it was reimari

LOL

[old oak]

Here, have some more:

[elfin smelt]

someone was posting art of them on my TL

so i guess theyre just popular rn idk

[timid bronze]

fr

[latent edge]

makes sense

[velvet dagger]

🙃

[latent edge]

yeah in some sense reimari is the most popular ship out there

[old oak]

I'm so glad I never got into the fanon of Touhou.

I just play the games

[elfin smelt]

reimu roch theorem

[latent edge]

but yeah fanon can get a bit weird

tbh ReiMari is canon

[old oak]

Canon-wise I'd say the characters have more intersting things to do than romancing each other.

[latent edge]

the interesting thing in question: shooting magic at each other

[old oak]

Yes!

[latent edge]

so true

[old oak]

As I recall, in-canon the explaination for the danmaku battles is that Reimu is so powerful, she could actually just obliterate everyone else in normal combat.

[latent edge]

nobody survives nuclear stuff except reimu. She defeated okuu and got exposed to an immense amount of radiation and still was fine

[old oak]

So the danmaku rules exist to prevent some kind of mtuually assured destruction

[latent edge]

yeah

there's a reason why playing reimu is "easier"

[old oak]

A related fact that I really like is that the fairy attacks are so powerful and hard to dodge in the Fairy Wars game (whereas fairies are a very weak type of characters overall) is that they aren't actually, but the protagonist Fairy just thinks they are.

[latent edge]

Cirno core

[old oak]

I didn't really like Cirno originally but I warmed (hah) towards her.

[latent edge]

She's the strongest tho

[old oak]

I aspire to that kind of confidence, yes.

And "Piece of cake, Piece of cake, Tower of Pisa cake" is a quote I can't forget

[latent edge]

yeah that's a good one

[elfin smelt]

cirno class

[latent edge]

Cirno math class

[old oak]

Can't wait for Touhou 20 in August

The demo was quite fun.

In particular the stage 3 music

[latent edge]

same

[jaunty ibex]

The explanation "Deltoid is a Touhou fan therefore he's of course cracked" makes more sense as a reason than what you told me Deltoid. Idk why but touhou fans are just really cracked and unique

[elfin smelt]

the reimu roch theorem relates the integral of the chirno class to the homology….

i think

wait cirno is pronounced with a “ch” right

[latent edge]

yes

I could say reimu roch theorem and nobody would notice

I'm not!

Wait, does he? The engines don't seem to change all that often.

MoF had a new one

[latent edge]

Yeah I think this is true

[jaunty ibex]

ZUN is the type of programmer I respect

[old oak]

The post-DDC games seem largely the same engine-wise

[jaunty ibex]

Did he study cs?

Let me see

[old oak]

I'm sure he changes and updates it, but doesn't seem like he makes new ones from scratch

[jaunty ibex]

Oh math major

Yeah no wonder he's based

[velvet dagger]

#algebraic-geometry message

There is more and more pure math that I find cool or pretty

[latent edge]

yeah sounds about right

[junior veldt]

Maybe this is partially because I’m outside the Cambridge environment now

[latent edge]

are u implying cambridge has boring math nowadays

[junior veldt]

No lol

I think there was just a lot of pressure on me back then

Parts of the environment especially around pure math felt toxic

And I got scared off…

[latent edge]

I know some of my fav number theorists were from Cambridge

[latent edge]

oh wow

: (

[junior veldt]

mhm…

[velvet dagger]

PFFFFT

[latent edge]

the pure math department here is not toxic

can't say the same about applied

[junior veldt]

I’m glad :)

oh…

[latent edge]

excluding of course

physics

physics is the only exception for applied

[junior veldt]

in terms of being not toxic?

[latent edge]

yes

[cyan goblet]

Cambridge has dhruv ranganathan

[junior veldt]

awesome :D

[cyan goblet]

He seems cool based on interviews

[junior veldt]

Yeah I know of him

Does seem cool

[cyan goblet]

I emailed him

[latent edge]

Every physics major I met in my uni was just really cool and based

[cyan goblet]

I hope he will respond

[cyan goblet]

Every physics major I’ve seen so far smells bad

[timid bronze]

Ok time to brush teeth and put on retainers

[latent edge]

same but cs majors

[timid bronze]

bee are bee

[cyan goblet]

Yeah

Them too

[latent edge]

chemistry majors are two breeds here

[agile fiber]

i had a physics major as a roommate and he talked way too loud on discord vc

[latent edge]

Some are as nice as the physics guys and some are just toxic af

[velvet dagger]

[timid bronze]

did i tell ab how

[junior veldt]

Funnily enough most of my friends at Cambridge were pure math folk

[timid bronze]

one time my dad got stung by a bee and cuz i was a kid i laughed so. hard then i got stung

[cyan goblet]

I guess I can’t blame the body odor on the physics students

[timid bronze]

I got humbled quick

The building is awful and has no ventilation

[latent edge]

mine are mostly math and physics now. I used to have a lot of cs but not anymore

[cyan goblet]

It’s literally built like a rectangle out of cinderblock

Like the Minecraft house you make for your first night

[junior veldt]

understandable

[velvet dagger]

Oh yeah I remember this

[cyan goblet]

Windows are few and far between

[junior veldt]

I still feel like a fish out of water here sometimes

being a physicist and all

but that feeling is lessening with time

[latent edge]

the math room for students has no windows at all and yet it's well more ventilated than the cs one. The moment I step into the cs one I get a sudden nausea

[junior veldt]

Maybe they have rotting pizza there

[cyan goblet]

The grad student reading room at my school is literally just a tiny room with no windows

[latent edge]

they do bring a lot of food which has a really strong smell

[cyan goblet]

Once during lunch I went to do some hw

Opened the door, lights were off, all clear

Turned on the lights

And this guy in the back of the room literally sat up from the floor

[junior veldt]

pfft

[latent edge]

there are rooms for grad students but all grad students come to the math room and just do the work there lmfao

[junior veldt]

you must’ve scared the shit outta him

[cyan goblet]

I woke this damn guy up and got so scared i just left

He was like “no you can use the room” and I couldnt think of what to say so i left

[latent edge]

that's crazy

[cyan goblet]

I mean theres even like a sofa in there why didnt he just sleep on the sofa

[timid bronze]

important question

this could make or break our friendship

do u clean ur tongue with a toothbrush or tongue scraper

[velvet dagger]

Toothbrush

[cyan goblet]

Oh that’s a good one

[timid bronze]

ok we r no longer friends

[velvet dagger]

WHAT WHY

[timid bronze]

DONT FUCKING EVEN CONSIDER DMING ME

[latent edge]

im ngl

I never saw this in stores

[velvet dagger]

I've never seen a tongue scraper before either

[cyan goblet]

I would not spend money on a piece of ringed plastic to scrape my tongue with

When my toothbrush works fine

[timid bronze]

So r u a toothbrush person too

Ewww

[cyan goblet]

Besides maybe I like going to sleep with the taste of dinner on my tongue so what?

[latent edge]

I don't use my toothbrush

[timid bronze]

u probably use ur fingernails

[latent edge]

I just use water

Someone must’ve had a bad dinner

[latent edge]

tongue scraper is so damn specialized I

[junior veldt]

Maybe I should get a tongue scraper

[latent edge]

I'd probably only hear it from a dentist

lmao

[velvet dagger]

Literally TIL

[latent edge]

til ally said it

[junior veldt]

I’m actually going to a dentist appointment atm

[latent edge]

I had no idea that was a thing

[cyan goblet]

If you use a tongue scraper can you still make that vomiting noise that old ppl

[latent edge]

Next time I go to a pharmacy I'll ask for it and see if the pharmacist knows about it

[cyan goblet]

I only know about them from tiktok

[timid bronze]

First time im disappointed in you too.

[cyan goblet]

Ally do you use floss sticks or string floss

[timid bronze]

Both depends what i have on hand

[latent edge]

well im actually surprised u know about it

Do you use Lysterine?

[timid bronze]

before brushing my teeth yes

[latent edge]

you made me google and question life

I know you use it after brushing

wtf

[timid bronze]

i dont, i do it before so i dont wash off the fluoride thats meant to protect ur teeth

[latent edge]

well i dont think it matters anyway

[timid bronze]

I do

[latent edge]

I've seen some cs majors that dont even brush teeth

[timid bronze]

Do you rinse your mouth with water after brushing your teeth?

Million dollar question

[latent edge]

yea

[brave basin]

5 minutes later obv

[timid bronze]

..

[brave basin]

i cant fathom eating with paste in mouth

[timid bronze]

Ok i am fully disappointed now.

[timid bronze]

Thats why u wait

[brave basin]

how long do you wait

[latent edge]

yeah u obv wait lol

[timid bronze]

like 30 mins

[brave basin]

oh wow

.

[latent edge]

you keep the paste for 30 min?

wtf

[timid bronze]

no like

i brush my teeth spit it out

then

done

[latent edge]

oh

yeah i do this

[timid bronze]

like obviously ill clean my lips if i got toothpaste around it but yea ur not meant to rinse it off

[latent edge]

okay i misunderstood then

bruh i was called weird for not rinsing immediately

lmfao

Maybe I should try for 30 mins

I'll do it now actually

[timid bronze]

like whatever ur toothpaste color is blue or smth that should be spat off

but whats invisible (like fluoride left on ur teeth) shouldnt be rinsed off

[latent edge]

Lysterine has some stuff in it no?

Well I mostly use it cuz ulcer problems

Lysterine has fluoride :3

[timid bronze]

Think it depends on which exact one ur getting some dont have it

[latent edge]

mine has it :3

[timid bronze]

sorry to hear :(

[timid bronze]

ooo

[latent edge]

It makes me happy

back in the old days i didnt have lysterine

So I'd use questionable approaches to get rid of them

[old oak]

Yeah, some variants of Lysterine do and some don't, need to read the ingredients.

[haughty panther]

I drink water after brushing teeth
Yummy fluoride

[dreamy ore]

pffff

[acoustic drum]

Not anymore, used to

[granite hedge]

hi

[cursive fossil]

i jit have to be rinsing after a minute because of mouth ulcers

@true zinc https://www.youtube.com/@TheoriesofEverything

what's this PhD rep in the math community?

[true zinc]

I've seen this channel, I don't know what to think of it frankly

I absolutely hate all the clickbait titles, I have watched a few of his videos but again, I just don't know what to think

[tidal dock]

Well from an ADHD with a very narrowed focus horizon it is more healthy to surprass the skin and eat the raw pulp, if you get what I mean

clickbait is something that someone has to deal with regardless of the content, so best ignore it and focus on the useful pieces of information

Though having to come at arms with it when looking up for scientific content on youtube from scientific community members it is detrimental :/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W39kfrxOSHg Though there are some good channels like this

It has a self-hosted streaming platform called institute of arts and ideas though, as you may, deduce, the physicists disclosing fall into vagueness

[tender heron]

I don't think my lysterine has fluoride :|

[latent edge]

Sodium fluoride?

[verbal quest]

classic Listerine doesn't have fluoride
but they have some lines that do

[raven plaza]

Produced by mixing sodium metal and gaseous fluorine

[latent edge]

I meant does it not include that?

you could

it's easy if it's a cartoon cat but it takes a little bit time for real cat

[fresh comet]

@shrewd sun welcome to the mathcord

I may suggest not asking people randomly about personal info

[shrewd sun]

thats the point of adding someone, you get to know them :/

ok

[timid bronze]

i dont usually start in dms

[fresh comet]

yeah but people add others they’ve never spoken to before

then it moves to dm

[timid bronze]

no right

sometimes im struggling at like 2 am to open my door

might as well sleep on the floor

[latent edge]

It's comfy

Downside: you'll catch cold

[timid bronze]

u sleep on the floor..?

[fresh comet]

me always pulling push doors and pushing pull doors

[timid bronze]

im convinced u r a cat

[latent edge]

Yeah

[timid bronze]

OMG THIS TOO

LMFAO

[timid bronze]

[latent edge]

It's cold

[timid bronze]

Get a blanket and put on the sweater i told u to put on

[fresh comet]

I swear I never win the 50/50 when it comes to pull/push

[latent edge]

In a really hot weather?

[timid bronze]

[fresh comet]

I just do whatever and pray for the best

[timid bronze]

Ok nvm i thought u were saying u were freezing

[fresh comet]

but I always lose

[latent edge]

Lol

[timid bronze]

take a cold shower

Before sleep

[fresh comet]

oh yeah, I've slept on the floor too when it's hot out

[timid bronze]

i stil lslept in the bed in saudi arabia

and that country is hot asf

i think most ive endured there is 114 F

[latent edge]

I take cold showers just standing still for 30 min

[fresh comet]

I imagine it's not super humid though

granted, 45C is miserable

and I'd still implode

[timid bronze]

u probably listen to kawaii music in the shower

[latent edge]

Saudi is super humid

[fresh comet]

is that so?

the interior has almost no rivers or lakes though

[latent edge]

No it's just silence. The only sound I hear is the water dropping

[fresh comet]

where is the humidity coming from?

[timid bronze]

ur so valid for this

i was so self conscious in saudi too

of smell

bc i was sweating insane there

[jagged forge]

at 114F i doubt it is going to be very humid

but it will certainly be hot

[latent edge]

Wtf is 114F

Americans smh

[jagged forge]

idk 45C i guess

[timid bronze]

good enough to tan me so when i see white ppl in the winter theyll ask me if i bleached my skin

oops

meant to reply to suremark

[latent edge]

lmao

[fresh comet]

this is Riyadh's average relative humidity over the months

[latent edge]

Riyadh is okay

[fresh comet]

that's not super humid, but it's a bit more than I expected

considering it's in the middle of a desert

[latent edge]

I was talking more near the sea

[fresh comet]

oh then of course

[timid bronze]

ive only been there a bit

[fresh comet]

Mecca and Medina are probably more humid

icic

[latent edge]

Jeddah is unreal

[timid bronze]

i do love the middle east tho

i only wanna go in winter however

not summer

[jagged forge]

i need to escape the hellhole that is houston. im not prepared for another month of consecutive 104F/40C temps

august is going to suck

[timid bronze]

yk ur cooked when u run out of sunscreen

august rly?

i feel like july is the worst month

in terms of hear

heat

[fresh comet]

I usually find that August is hotter

[jagged forge]

august is def the worst month here

[fresh comet]

idk

it's probably city dependent

[jagged forge]

it was so bad

[fresh comet]

September is also awful here a lot of the time

[iron nimbus]

it's weird cuz summer solstice is already over 🤨

but I'm just starting to experience hot weather

[jagged forge]

in texas we have two seasons

winter and summer

[iron nimbus]

LOL

[jagged forge]

3/4 of the year we have summer

[latent edge]

At least better than here

We have winter, fall and construction

[timid bronze]

o september here gets kind cold

bruh

meant to reply to higher

sorry

[iron nimbus]

september is HOTTTT

and usually when we get power outtages

bc too many people are using air conditioner

[timid bronze]

i wanna go to water park soon with friends tho

[iron nimbus]

which means no air conditioning for anyone

[timid bronze]

Maybe for my bday

:3

[fresh comet]

the classic joke is "we have two seasons here. winter and construction"

[latent edge]

It is true

Fall feels like 10 min ish

[fresh comet]

yeah... this is gonna be a growing problem around the world as heat waves become stronger and more frequent

[latent edge]

Everything else is either winter or construction

[fresh comet]

when the power grids fail, I will implode

[iron nimbus]

:(

[fresh comet]

apparently humid heat waves have been and will continue to be on the rise

and they're a lot more deadly than dry heat waves

[jagged forge]

or, you have increasing extremes on the other end, and then you get the texas power grid failure of 2021

[fresh comet]

you can't cool down as easily

[iron nimbus]

I'm just going to lock myself at home, windows shut, doors shut. Thank you very much.

[timid bronze]

Trump doesnt believe in climate change so at least the US is cooked

[iron nimbus]

we're going to be fried for 4 years yes

[jagged forge]

i already do that

[fresh comet]

was this when a polar vortex came down to Texas

[jagged forge]

but then the a/c breaks once a year during summer

[jagged forge]

i have no idea what happened scientifically speaking, but a ton of people lost power and it was a pretty big disaster

my parents were driving home from visiting me in atlanta when it happened

[latent edge]

Good choice. Just add coffee and a yellow book now

[fresh comet]

I heard :<

[jagged forge]

they ended up staying at a hotel that had power while the whole thing blew over

[iron nimbus]

why yellow 🤨

[latent edge]

GTM also known as "Didn't graduate text in mathematics"

[jagged forge]

but also none of the housing (or anything really) in texas is prepared for really cold weather

so a lot of people had cracked pipes etc

[jagged forge]

including my parents

[fresh comet]

yikes

I'm glad it seemed to work out

[jagged forge]

i dont think much changed after the whole ordeal tbh

[iron nimbus]

Power outages are becoming longer and more frequent too tbh

[twin flicker]

i saw this and thought u were talking abt thread locks wtf

my brain is fried

[iron nimbus]

last time we had one for 4 days

imagine being cooked for 4 consecutive days

with cold water ofc, which is good

[jagged forge]

yeah we had a power outage during the summer months last year

it was miserable

[iron nimbus]

but also bad

[jagged forge]

house was 84 degrees

[iron nimbus]

it was worse than that for us

[jagged forge]

oof

insulation does wonders ig

[iron nimbus]

lol

but it also traps the hot air in once it gets in

which makes things hotter…

[jagged forge]

hmm true ig

[latent edge]

tfw my friend takes a Sauna when it's 45C outside

[iron nimbus]

O_O

[jagged forge]

my boss sent me a portable battery on behalf of the company after that last power outage, which i’ve been using happily

[iron nimbus]

oh lucky

[jagged forge]

cuz even after we got power back it kept going out for a few hours at a time

[iron nimbus]

I had to buy one 😭

[jagged forge]

it’s pretty nice to avoid those dumb flickers that knock ur internet out

[iron nimbus]

yeah

3 years ago

it kept going off 1000 times

during the summer

(at home)

[jagged forge]

bruhh

that would drive me crazy

especially since i work at home

[neat lintel]

Thanks🫶

[jagged forge]

i was so mad when my power kept going out

[timid bronze]

real

[jagged forge]

i’d be in the middle of a call with coworkers and then the lights would go out

then it’d come back on

i’d get back on the call 15 minutes later when everything is working again

and then it would flicker AGAIN

[timid bronze]

thats haunted icl

[jagged forge]

ah, well, can’t say i was thinking much about that lol

[timid bronze]

yk whags the scariest shit ever

forgetting to close ur closet and

seeing ur clothes when the lights r off

it looks like a monster hanging

I had to deal with this during online HS. Especially in timed online exams. I love the power turning off for 1 hour when the exam is 30 min

its not matte and doesnt have that feel or asmr of paper

just like a glassy one

tikz?

how you gonna do it then

tikz is the only option

[latent edge]

I have a surface

Does that count

[tidal dock]

I have a kindle if that can help

You are already wasting energies and time using an ipad for studying

IF you need a note-taking device you either get paper and pens or you get a remarkable like e-ink

A tool that fits all will always come to compromises, may that be eye strain, battery life, sensational feedback, you name it :D

[timid bronze]

Isk what that is

Idk

XD

[timid bronze]

true

might just keep the screen protector i already have on

and take it off when it needs a refresh

i dont regret buying an ipad

i love it for notetaking and ngl

i use it for hw more than my computer

i've heard mixed reviews on the paper screen protectors for ipads, some swear by them, some say they don't get the feeling right

i pretty much only bring my computer with me for labs

otherwise i use my ipad

next semester i have

3-4 classes back to back on mondays i dont remember exactly

im scared

[jagged forge]

naaww 3-4 classes back to back aint that bad

[timid bronze]

is it not

is it better than having 2 labs in the same day

XD

[jagged forge]

i mean it's more than usual for college but i think in an absolute sense it's not that bad

[jagged forge]

oof

[timid bronze]

Yea that was the other option for me

[latent edge]

3-4 is not even max here

[timid bronze]

but i didnt want a chem lab then a physics lab in a day

[latent edge]

It's like casual style

[timid bronze]

yea but

[jagged forge]

yea...

[timid bronze]

i have 15 mins between those classes

not like an hour

so no time to eat

the worst is when your classes are on opposite sides of the campus

Imagine, it's summer, first july. There are 40-45degrees in your room. Your eyelids sweat and so the cutaneous tissue gets inflamed. On top of this you are also supposed to close the windows and keep some shadows which increases the contract with your LCD devices...

Add some acidic imbalance in the atlantic stream and you get hailing in summer

oh

wait hail

and forgot the honourable mention: during winter we had 40% of days being sunny

[jagged forge]

you mean 40-45C right

i should write suremark is pregnant furry in my banner
