@ghostlygena @simplybenlogica It me!

@simplybenlogica any chance the matt mazowita thanked in the beginning of skinamarink is your brother?

@Travisboisvenue @ArielTroster Why less efficient?

@Travisboisvenue @ArielTroster Also despite the headline of that Wired article, the study they reference actually only concluded that adding new lanes induces exactly as much new demand as the new capacity created, so congestion is not worse, it is exactly the same.

@Travisboisvenue @ArielTroster I could see why adding lanes would “induce” demand on commuter corridors where people have other options, but is it really going to cause more people to drive to an airport?

@Travisboisvenue @ArielTroster Not to mention that the new LRT spur will be barely useful when the train is even running.

@Travisboisvenue @ArielTroster Surely there is more nuance to this issue? I have always been shocked that practically the only road to the airport is a single lane. A minor accident or even a slow driver can cause many people to miss their flights.

@saramfung While living in Alberta, someone I’d just met (correctly) identified me as having an “urban Ontario” accent.

A person just told me she could tell from the minute I started talking that I was from Canada because I have a Canadian accent! I've never been told this before! Has anyone ever been told they have a Canadian accent??

@martinmrmar @Ayliean I don’t think it’s a good introduction to the subject, but as a (former) functional analyst I think it’s the best text for the analytically-inclined. It’s old-fashioned but I haven’t seen a better treatment of nets (what Kelley calls “Moore-Smith convergence”).

@abstractmatt @Ayliean I got that text book years ago when I was an undergrad. I have used different texts since then to learn Topology.

Just a little bit obsessed with topology right now! Looooook at this nail set✨☕️🍩👖💗

@martinmrmar @Ayliean Kelly is my all-time favourite math text!

@Ayliean I tried studying Kelly's General Topology....it was a bit too abstract for my liking.

@DougHoyer My friend Paul had a broken air conditioner that would randomly switch between two tones and it was the best music I heard that year.

@matthematician @GauntlettConnor There can be no other such functions. If f is not the identity then take f(x)=y with x!=y and consider the topology consisting of all sets not containing x.

“Logic sometimes makes monsters. During half a century we have seen the rise of a crowd of bizarre functions which seem to try to resemble as little as possible the honest functions which serve some purpose.” -- Henri Poincare

@veganlovebunny @nailogical @simplybenlogica @zylerthecat @menchiethecat @JenRotey Very sweet of you! I’m not 100% sure about Jen but the rest of us are ok! Guess we got lucky. Are you in Ottawa too? How are you holding up?

@nailogical and @simplybenlogica and @zylerthecat and @menchiethecat do you all have power? Any trees fall on your house? Are @JenRotey and @abstractmatt ok? I am thinking about the Simply fam. 💜 #OttawaOutage #OTTstorm

"There was a time when I thought a great deal about the axolotls. I went to see them in the aquarium at the Jardin des Plantes and stayed for hours watching them, observing their immobility, their faint movements. Now I am an axolotl." - Axolotl, Julio Cortázar

@ryancbriggs @qianweiphd @JohnHolbein1 I think that’s Abraham Lake

What’s the most beautiful place you’ve ever been to? [bonus points for pics]

@ryancbriggs This is similar (but superior) to the Ethiopian calendar, which has 12 months of 30 days plus 5 or 6 float days.

@CFAinstitute If a candidate fails level III in May 2022, will they be able to take again in August?
