The polar opposite of Japan.
One reason it’s so easy to walk 20,000 steps a day in Japan is that you can always buy a drink (vending machine) or use a toilet (free restrooms everywhere).
It’s paradise for walkers.

@3blue1brown wouldn’t expressing pi as a function make more sense?
English
Happy Pi Day! In a certain sense, π is not a constant, but a variable. Using our usual Euclidean distance, it is 3.14159… but applying other L^p norms on ℝ², half the unit circle's perimeter will give other values. For instance, at p=1 (taxicab geometry), “π” = 2√2. At p ≈ 2.2, it's 3.20.
Anyway, the video I was hoping to have out this day will be out closer to the 20th. Some call it “missing your deadline”, but I prefer to think of it as giving the L_{2.2} norm a little love.

"Our military units are now, in fact, independent and somewhat isolated, and they are acting based on general instructions given to them in advance"
Very Lindy. That's how war has always been done

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi: What happened in Oman was not our choice. We have already told our Armed Forces to be careful about the targets they choose. Our military units are now, in fact, independent and somewhat isolated, and they are acting based on general instructions given to them in advance.

There’s a sort of reactionary undercurrent and I am reminded of a group of Chinese students who learnt pure math from poorly translated Soviet textbooks, and when they moved to the US and read American textbooks, they never grasped that idea could be expressed in such clarity

Math textbooks are written in a pointlessly obtuse way. Gemini does an incomparably better job. My professional opinion is that all undergrads learning real analysis should give up reading baby Rudin, and simply learn analysis from Gemini instead

@pnwguerrilla How much ammo do you need to glass a chicken?
English
Stop carrying so much ammo. Learn from the seal teams.
Train to be like the lone survivor.
Don’t carry any spare ammo (you won’t need it) The second someone starts shooting at you, hide under a rock while all your friends die, walk to a neighboring town and call for help.
Make up a story and write a book of how you fought off a bazillion baddies.
Get a movie deal.
Profit.
Who needs to carry extra ammo!!! Just do what special operations does!

What one word does “fro” go with? “Af”? “Jew”? That’s two words.

Early readers end up grabbing lots of random books from their parents’ shelves, and end up with a stock of pop culture references that’s dated to about the average year their parents were buying books.

Vice President JD Vance: When I took my Kids to Disneyworld, individuals were shouting Horrible things at my small Children “You should disown your dad you little shit”, one middle aged woman yelled at my 5 year old. “Tell the secret service to protect the constitution, not your father.” Screamed another… “While our side of the isle certainly has its crazies, It is a statistical FACT that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far left.” rumble.com/v741nu8-when-i…
