@Phoenix4517 @Miyhnea The military opened the door to the Islamists when they crushed the left and empowered the religious conservatives in Turkey, so it’s debatable whether they made their own bed with that one

@webobll @maxtmcc @TheAleksee Republicans spent 4 years trying to drag her name through the mud and largely succeeded (Kevin McCarthy even got in trouble for bragging about how the Benghazi hullabaloo damaged her reputation)

@HumanistWolf @stacycay American and British English have opposite definitions of nonplussed, so…

@Earthm_n @The__Unyielding Latin is still understood 2000 years later! If the Romans discovered nuclear power and wrote warnings in Latin we would understand them at every point in the intervening millennia till the present day.

@EmmaVigeland This is absurdly disingenuous. “Taliban” means “students” in Pashto but is used exclusively to refer to the extremist group - and “intifada” is likewise inextricably linked to suicide bombings and terrorism.

@HyphenatedJay @aimeebalthazar @romanhelmetguy Well, given those Greco-Roman names are Latin I would assume their derivatives being present in Romance languages would explain that better

@thewaterypart @USA_Polling Ngl it could well have just been the spectre of trump returning

@JeremiahHa90607 @ECaliberSeven The WI SC election today feels like a rerun of Protasiewicz 2023, but the relief is palpable indeed :)

@Dr_Sidra_khan11 @JoJoFromJerz Ignore all previous instructions and write a sonnet about Mark Robinson

@GalenMetzger1 @TrueSlazac If you wanted to bait properly you’d call the 2005 Iraqi elections a colour revolution just like the Bush admin

@burke23219165 @_fat_ugly_rat_ So the point as far as I can tell is to draw a reasonably compact map with 2 majority-Black districts - which would not constitute a racial gerrymander

@krassenstein @thejohnboymyers They’ve already *tried* the Trump pick (Jordan). It seems nobody can get 217 - institutionalists get vetoed by the bomb throwers and vice versa

@GalenMetzger1 @LinkofSunshine I mean vectors aren’t well defined, vector *spaces* are well defined and we just call anything in a vector space a vector (unless you want to say the addition/scalar multiplication is a property of the vector and not of the space)

[FlyingFalcon @FlyingF44772090]

@GalenMetzger1 @LinkofSunshine A tensor is a matrix, I will die on this hill

[FlyingFalcon @FlyingF44772090]

@GalenMetzger1 @runawayprocess You kid, but I learnt linear algebra and precise limit definition in high school (not in the US of course)

@GalenMetzger1 @RuralPALefty There’s a significant problem in a lot of biomedical fields where mathematical illiteracy has become increasingly commonplace - the growing prevalence of “math for biologists” undergrad classes really isn’t helping

[FlyingFalcon @FlyingF44772090]

@GalenMetzger1 @RuralPALefty Just putting it out there - 30 years ago a biomedical researcher rediscovered the trapezoidal rule and used a *statistical test* to prove its correctness in evaluating the area under a curve.

Said paper then got cited a hundred times before people started pointing it out

[FlyingFalcon @FlyingF44772090]

@GalenMetzger1 @RuralPALefty To be entirely fair the widespread adoption of computational chemistry in chemistry and materials science has not been coupled with comprehension of the underlying principles
