This is apt. I concur. We are concurrent.

Colorado here. You nailed it. We got a lot of these unbearable “health is life” turds.

Me too. Don’t sweat it. Develop a good personality. Enjoy your life.

I work in MEP and our emails are always considered legal documents as they can be used as evidence if ever we are taken to court. So we always treat them very technical and try to over explain everything so clients/plan reviewers/contractors can’t misinterpret. It’s kind of an old school thing, but the head of our department is an old school guy.

Typically when I type out professional emails or documents that contain numerical values, I write out the number followed by the digits in brackets if it is ten [10] or below for cases of amount, unless I am listing out the counts of items, then I only use digits.
“The updated electrical design will require three [3] new, pad-mount 500kVA transformers to replace the three [3] existing 225kVA transformers,each located on floors four, five, and six.”

I see the all-encompassing maw that exists in the place where my soul would go, if I had one…
… Also seals with beach balls…

Word is a bunch of the song catalog from RB4 will be ported over to Fartnight. So you might still get your chance.

My partner didn’t “do” video games growing up. Till Stardew.
This is the way.
- Comment on What are the most mindblowing fact in mathematics? 2 years ago:
The utility of Laplace transforms in regards to differential systems.
In engineering school you learn to analyze passive DC circuits early on using not much more than ohms law and Thevenin’s Theoram. This shit can be taught to elementary schoolers.
Then a little while later, you learn how to do non-finear differential equations to help work complex systems, whether it’s electrical, mechanical, thermal, hydrolic, etc. This shit is no walk in the park.
Then Laplace transforms/identities come along and let you turn non-linear problems in time-based space, into much simpler problems in frequency-based space. Shit blows your mind.
THEN a mafacka comes along and teaches you that these tools can be used to turn complex differential system problems (electrical, mechanical, thermal, hydrolic, etc) into simple DC circuits you can analyze/solve in frequency-based space, then convert back into time-based space for the answers.
I know this is super applied calculus shit, but I always love that sweet spot where all the high-concept math finally hits the pavement.
