  • I feel the opposite, this website has too many right wing chuds annoyingly complaining that eveyone is a tankie or some shit.. its fucking annoying give it a rest already jeez

  • I see it used oftentimes to dismiss systematic injustice aswell... "it is what it is"..

    which on an individual level feels like we have no control over but is infact something we have a lot of control over. A very malignant useage I feel

  • Lemmy going 2 seconds without complaining about tankies challenge impossible...

    this website has defo been infiltrated by right-wing groups

  • They tried taking turns, but Sam learned what it felt like to want the Ring, and knew he couldn’t do it again.

    I just listened to the books again. They didn't really try to take turns. Sam thought frodo was dead so he took it to keep it from the orcs. And even after he gave it back he offered a few times to carry it again because frodo was so weak, but frodo wouldn't let him and definitely was freaked out a when sam asked. The book describes frodo suddenly thinking sam was an orc or a thief trying to take the ring from him.

  • red tape

    I just make the change and put it in for review and then move on with my life... most the time its not turned away if its a good change. Even if there wasn't any task or discussion before hand, and if it's small enough I can just do it quick then I won't be disappointed if people want it done a different way. At least for me it feels like people like it when I just make a decision and solve the problem instead of bogging them down with discussing everything before hand

    But yeah lots of times "simple" changes are not actually simple in the system as it already exists.. and that can be frustrating but thats software..

  • Maybe you could mix the ashes with clay, have it fired and then grind or crush the ceramic into sand.

  • Its the algebraic properties that are important, not all vectors are n-tuples, eg the set of polynomials of degree less than n.

    You need a basis to coordinate a vector, you can work with vectors without doing that and just deal with the algebraic properties. The coordinate representation is dependent on the basis chosen and isn't fundamental to the vector. So calling them n-tuples isn't technically correct.

    You can turn them into a set of coordinates if you have a basis, but the fact that you can do that is because of the algebraic properties so it's those properties which define what a vector is.

  • It should be magnitude plus orientation, not velocity. Velocity itself is a vector quantity

  • Just FYI content warning for Pantheon there is a seriously disturbing gore/kill scene that is animated too well in the first season. Anyone who has seen the show knows what scene I am talking about, I found the scene pretty upsetting and I almost didn't finish the show. I am still a little upset that the scene is burned in my memory.

  • or here on lemmy, tankie

  • As far as I understand, Anarchism doesn't mean no rules, it means no rulers. No hierarchy of people.

    The rules would be set up in such a way to actively discourage individual accumulation of power as much as possible. But a system like that could still have rules, just enforced collectively instead of power being parceled out to individuals. I think there are a lot of practical ways you can try to reduce power accumulation, like term limits is a very obvious example that is a concept we are familiar with. Or like ways of reducing wealth inequality can also be seen as a way of trying to reduce hierarchy.

    I don't know all the theory, I honestly feel like that kinda shit isn't always the most useful anyways. But there are obvious things we can do now to reduce hierarchy and they seem like things that would be good. Having an ideological stance that hierarchy is bad, and we should reduce it as much as possible.. that's Anarchism.

  • If you can't handle me at my apple car with worms in my brain, you don't deserve me at my owl witch riding a broom scooter.

  • I think you can make arbitrarily complicated roots if you move over to Gn which includes the R and C roots...

    For example the grade 4 blade (3e1e2e3e4)^2 = 9 in G4

    Complex roots are covered because the grade 2 blade (e1e2)^2 = -1 making it identical to i so Gn (n>=2) includes C.

    Gn also includes all the scalars (grade 0 blades) so all the real roots are included.

    Gn also includes all the vectors (grade 1 blades) so any vector with length 3 will square to 9 because u^2 = u dot u = |u|^2 where u is a vector.

    All blades will square to a scalar but blades are not the only thing in Gn so things get weird with the multivectors(sums of different grades). Any blade with grade n%4 < 2 will square to a positive scalar and the other grades will square to a negative, with the abs of the scalar equal to the norm2 of the blade. Can pretty much just make as many roots as you want if you are willing to move into higher dimensional spaces and use a way cooler product.

  • How do you spend 35 hours on a game you aren't enjoying??? My dawg value your time more
