Prickly pear cactus are called tuna (maybe just in Spanish?)
I wouldn't want to confuse tuna fish with tuna fruit...
Also, I think tuna fish refers to certain preparation, e.g., as used in a tuna fish sandwich. This is in contrast to sushi ("tuna roll") or a tuna steak, which typically don't have the "fish" qualifier.
*The data do not lie
(I know, it's acceptable to use it as is done in the title, but the cartoon dude seemed to me the sort of fellow who might have opinions about the Latin roots of words and whatnot.)
Upvote if good, downvote if bad.
But what do I do for MEDIOCRE content?
Reminds me of my good friend, Bigus Dickus.
That's what I love about these sapling trees, man. I get older, they stay the same age.
All these replies and not a single POTUSA reference. Shameful.
Well, do you have a cat?
I think the point is that no one wants to be in a position where financing something as trivial as takeout pizza becomes an appealing choice.
There are definitely services available, but sometimes takeout pizza just hits the spot. And that being an unaffordable luxury feels like sad commentary on our society.
and is nothing more than a figurehead
Fine by me.
Come November, I will not be voting for an old guy named Biden. I will be voting for the Biden administration, an administration that rejoined the Paris climate accords, has made progress wrt medical debt, has seen decreasing levels of uninsured Americans, and made progress on myriad other issues. Because the alternative is...well, you know.
I am not voting for my ideal candidate, or my ideal administration, but that's because 1) I'm not an accelerationist, and 2) I'm smart enough to know how this works given our deeply flawed voting system.
I'm not sure you can really have it both ways
the only alternatives for someone who doesn't want Trump but won't vote for Biden that I see are accelerationism, or complete and utter naivety...which is functionally equivalent to accelerationism.
Immediately after the integral symbol, before the integrand, is also common: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1146345/notational-position-of-dx-in-integral
It has a nice "operator" look this way.
For me, a hurdle to get over was trying to understand in the context of my experience of the world. Like, popsci has this whole "is X a wave or a particle? Scientists still don't know..." schtick. And our understanding at some level is, "here's the math to describe this system."
Getting away from always mapping that onto the world we experience is, IMHO, really important. Not that it should be understood solely as math, by any means! But you really need to throw away intuition gained from the macroscopic world we interact with.
My favorite example was looking at reflection coefficients and seeing that an "infinite wall" is the same as an "infinite cliff"
you'll reflect off of both. Which makes zero sense if you imagine driving a bumper car into a wall (bounce back) vs. over an infinite cliff! But it does me make sense in its own way, and after building up intuition, so do other "weird" and counterintuitive things.
