  • Everyone loves Bernie.

    But dang it the man is 83. He should be enjoying the last years of his life in retirement. It makes me sad to think he still needs to be working in politics.

    He’s as old as Trump, who is already too old for this shit, will be at the end of his term.

    Maybe there should be a hard limit at 65 or something for politicians. Both to keep out people in whom dementia is clearly starting to appear and to let old people frickin’ rest.





  • I’m a front-end developer. I sometimes need to solve algebra problems. I’m pretty bad at it because I , but my knowledge that a problem is solvable by math comes in handy maybe once or twice a month. It’s just that on the few occasions that there’s algebra that I can’t figure out how to solve (maybe once a year), I may ask for help from a colleague.

    Examples of cases where math comes in handy:

    • Pythagoras when I need to figure out the x/y components of a diagonal distance
    • Width/height calculations from a variety of parameters

    In summary, as long as you know what math is capable of, you probably won’t have major issues. There will pretty much always be someone around to help with the math part if necessary.

    As for calculus… I forgot all about the one calculus class I’ve taken and I’ve never suffered for it.










  • I just thought that in real life, when they were out of on-stage roles, other children would do something else. But then again if the children are, like, 7, it’s not like you can assign ALL the jobs to them.

    I hadn’t thought about it. But then again, I never did any sort of play at school.
