@manton Thank you
@jthingelstad of course he was 🤓
@jthingelstad I thought I was on the @maique site for a minute there.
@bradenslen Voter suppression by any other name. So much for the states being in charge of their elections.
Six .. six Oscars. Well deserved.
@amerpie don’t know if you listen to the Rockenteurs podcast with Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt .. their latest is with Edgar Wright .. and all about soundtracks and film in music.
@ChrisJWilson 😂😂😂🤯
@thompsonson when i was a lad - and ‘learning’ math(s) - not sure from which side o’ the Atlantic you hail - and definitely before I ‘studies’ the same … my teacher looked at us urchins and said (paraphrasing here as you might guess …)
> imagine if this entire classroom contained everything we know - equations, proofs, theories, concepts, books … everything - about all of mathematics …. now down here in this corner there is a 1 inch cube. That cube is large enough to contain every part of maths that we today can apply.
It stuck with me - and in fact one of the influencers in taking me into the ‘study’ field of ‘pure’ maths.
Whether that was true then … whether it holds today … no idea - but the story has stayed with me. Even to the point of him crouching down in the corner and pointing to that imaginary 1 inch cube.
@numericcitizen you mean like the neo 😉
