I don’t know man, I just don’t know.
It’s just a functional derivative explained poorly.

Distance uphill and a distance downhill should be measured in asymmetric effort.

This same friend went as Divine Miss Piggy one year and then ATE KERMIT'S SHIT ON STAGE (chocolate) and somehow only placed second

So yeah, he'd better fucking win this year, because he's been robbed three times already.

I tried greatly had to make a “Call Me Al” joke here but I couldn’t land it. I have failed.

Regrets, I’ve had a few

The way that this, specifically, is “oh god I didn’t know enough about you before we fucked” triggering from my years living in Nordic countries (as opposed to the first one where I’m like “yeah that’s hot role play”)…

It was the pepper grinder that broke me. Simply iconic listicle behaviour.

I think the academic urge to separate object X and object X that comes from a motivation (I’m not even going to say application, because I did numerical analysis for a while and lol no) is misguided at best.

I mean there’s certainly an area of ode researchers who don’t care about dimension, but there’s also a huge group of people studying semidiscretized evolution equations who definitely did.

This is certainly a spicy take. And not one that really matches with my numerical analysis education. We certainly knew the effect of eigenvalues on stiffness and dimension in eigenvalues, for example. And I doubt an undergrad education 20 years ago at a random Australian uni was weird…

I would break with my habit of being nice to AEs if someone wasted my time with that.
