Do you prefer hands-on experience and discovery or do you rely on your manual?

 

I knew how to use the camera before I purchased it .. the manual is cool and I definitely refer to it when needed but in my opinion there is nothing like hands on experience and discovering what you can do on your own at times ...

 

P.S. I HATED math in high school!! Except Algebra because we had a really cool teacher!!

Man I love this series. Except for the really questionable entries that we don't talk about. Sealnoon just informed me that lego now makes the Birthday Boy hair in that earth-orange color and goddamn do I know what I'm gonna scour the earth for now.

 

Anyways, here's some figs.

 

Thompson: With a P, as in Pterodactyl.

 

Thomson: To be precise, "P", as in Psychology.

 

Tintin: Great Snakes!

 

Snowy: Arf!

 

Captain Haddock: Blistering Blue Barnacles!

 

Professor Calculus: A GOAT? ME!

 

lemme know what you think!

Sometimes. ..sad. ..Sometimes ...proud ..Sometimes. ...frantic. ...Sometimes so bleak...Sometimes. .calculus...Sometimes the thing we see when we close our eyes.

Another year is over for my Calculus students, and FINALLY, I will get a new textbook, one that is easy for students to read.

 

I know, I know, you are thinking that the sighting of an easy-to-read mathematics textbook, let alone calculus, is rarer than sightings of the Loch Ness Monster. I had some of my students look it over and some wanted to fail the class just so they could use the new textbook next year.

 

Happy FUTABday, everybody!

"Well, a crazy landscape already, Professor, and now what do you make of that??"

 

"It looks like 10:10, Tintin."

 

"Is there a meaning there?"

 

"Indeed! It is ten minutes past ten o'clock."

 

"Hm. Okay. I guess I was looking for something a bit more profound. I mean, the clock numbers are weird."

 

"They tend to ten ten to Tintin."

 

"You're... just making this up."

In habitat near Bitterfontein. Still one of the most attractive species in my opinion. Large plants like these are quite scarce. Most plants observed had 3 to 6 heads.

I have a Christmas Party on Saturday Evening. Nothing "over the top" so I picked out something festive. You can never go wrong with a Prada bag. Versace is always nice for the holidays too. There is only one issue staring me in the face at the moment, as I look down. It looks to be an advanced calculus problem. How to get the items on the left hand side photo into the corset on the right hand side picture? So I asked my husband for assistance. He took a look and then looked again. Finally he said "Its a problem for NASA or the Russians to solve baby. Modern man hasn't come that far yet." End of discussion, back up went his newspaper.

 

Where's Howard Hughes when you need him? Can someone answer that for me?

Branch of mathematics employed by ospreys (and others) to determine the velocity, trajectory, and grappling point for landings on Horsepen Bayou.

Since the pandemic I've been getting groceries delivered via instacart. Around the same time New York passed a law banning single use plastic grocery bags ("t-shirt" bags) so all the stores switched to selling reusable tote bags (and encouraged you to bring your own bags). Unfortunately, when you get delivery they use brand new "reusable" bags each time, and there's no way to return them. And one can only use so many of them, so we are accumulating a large quantity of these bags in the closet. They're essentially more expensive, more substantial, and probably more environmentally unfriendly "single" use bags.

 

Pictured here one of those reusable totes along with the proverbial cat, and Cuthbert.

 

We''re Here: And What's InYOUR Bag?

Calculus.

 

Algebra is very simple compared to its highly abstract mathematical cousin shown here. Alas, this conjures up bad memories of all but hitting a wall taking calculus in college.

Inktober 2020 - I'm definitely not inspired by this list. Or maybe I just don't have/take the time this challenge deserve.

That's what happens when one is acting the goat...

WISH YOU A BEAUTIFUL END OF THIS WEEK!

 

Natura non facit saltum (Latin for "nature does not make jumps") has been a principle of natural philosophy since at least Aristotle's time.[1]

It appears as an axiom in the works of Gottfried Leibniz (New Essays, IV, 16) and Isaac Newton, the co-inventors of the infinitesimal calculus,[2] see Law of Continuity. It is also an essential element of Charles Darwin's treatment of natural selection in his Origin of Species.[3] The phrase comes from Linnaeus' Philosophia Botanica.[4]

 

The principle expresses the idea that natural things and properties change gradually, rather than suddenly.
