My granddad is the best person i know
At 11, he tried a cig and didn't like it and never smoked since
At 18, he was on the verge of death from sepsis when his mom's friend's husband, a long haul Aeroflot pilot, brought penicillin back from the US. When the antibiotics started working, the doc told his mom - don't cry, he might even live up to 40
At 21, he got a degree in nuclear physics, but wasn't allowed to work in the industry due to weakened health. He found himself in the Soviet space programme
At 26, he sent Sputnik to space, a few weeks before he had his first child
At 32, he made the discovery of the Earth's plasmasphere
At 60, he learnt English because the iron curtain had fallen and he could travel to the international space conferences. He needed to write and present in English
At 70, he would fight me for the dial-up internet as I wanted to chat to online friends, while he needed to send some work emails from home
At 85, he visited me in London and went to the British Museum five days in a row. One of the days we were having afternoon tea, and he exclaimed: "I'm so lucky! Had I not lived to this age, I would not have seen Amenkhotep III statue and had these wonderful scones at the Ritz"
At 90, he was the only person in my family who said I must absolutely take the opportunity to work in crypto
At 94, he still was still co-authoring scientific papers. And this hasn't stopped yet
Yesterday, he turned 95
Happy birthday granddad 😊

日本人ですが、間違いだったと思っています。
先祖が過去に起こした過ちについて、後世に生まれた私たちは、卑屈になる必要はないと考えています。
しかし、だからといって｢関係ない｣とは言えない。
また、現在、日本人が享受している豊かさは、被害を受けた周辺国の赦しがあったからこそだということは、感謝とともに忘れてはいけないことです。
同じ日本人のなかに、｢非を認めることは負けること｣という感覚なのか、自分達の都合の良い考えに捕らわれている人たちがいることに愕然としています。
学校で歴史をきちんと教えない…ということも、影響していると思います。
過去にやったこと、周辺国の赦しがあって今があることを忘れ、或いは知らず、再び暴走しようとしているこの国に、｢２度目の赦しはない｣と天罰が下ることを、とても恐れています。
非力さに情けなくなりますが、なんとか止めたいと思っています。
まとまりなく、ダラダラとすみません。

One time I was obsessed with a guy from Tik Tok who was famous for being hot & cutting wood in the forest shirtless. I could feel through my phone that we were meant to be & I sent him a nude on IG & he drove from Montana to nyc in his pickup truck & lived with me for two weeks

A mother-in-law wanted to test which of her three sons-in-law was the nicest.
She pretended to fall into a river while walking with the first son-in-law.
He quickly jumped in and saved her.
The next morning, he found a Chevrolet Malibu with a note, From your mother-in-law.
The second son-in-law did the same thing and received a Ford Fusion the next day.
Then came the third son-in-law's turn.
When the mother-in-law jumped into the river again, he just watched... and walked away.
The next morning, he found a brand-new Cadillac Escalade with a note, From your father-in-law!

Şu formülü kopyalayıp Google'da aratın:
sqrt(cos(x))cos(300x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(6-x^2), -sqrt(6-x^2) from -4.5 to 4.5
Bana teşekkür etmenize gerek yok, Google'a dua edin.
