@maxhelp Well, that sucks. Another lost customer, I’m afraid.

[Rich Bulena @ROttoB]

@maxhelp I’m traveling in Europe, and I was able to the HBOMax app. Now all I get is a “not available in your region” message. When will this be fixed?

@mcnees The Cantor function (the “devil’s staircase”) is even more impressive, a function defined on [0,1], is continuous, has a derivative almost everywhere which is equal to 0, yet manages to monotonically increase from 0 to 1.

@NickRamos_1 It’s truly strange that what’s considered a normal medical procedure in one state might be considered a capital offense in another.

@aaronaut Back in the 60s at that same high school we had an out art teacher in his mid-30s. He had a great sense of humor about the whole business — he had his car custom painted pink. Very brave for the time.

@NickRamos_1 By the way, do you have any relatives over there? A couple of my cousins went to Moscow for university in the 80s, one married a Russian and stayed, admires Putin a lot for getting rid of the Mafia.

@_MarkAllen Jeanne Moreau does a great job playing someone who’s just been dumped. It’s playing on the Criterion channel right now, along with a bunch of other nouvelle vague classics.

@NickRamos_1 They eventually settled in Miami and returned the favor in 1961, taking in my 14yo cousin, helping her get to our family in Omaha.

@NickRamos_1 I don’t know how common it was, but my mom’s family took in a Jewish refugee couple just before WW2, and helped get them settled in Cuba.

@NickRamos_1 Fun fact, he was a cousin of my grandfather’s and his wife hid out with them while he was in jail. My uncles went to school with Desi and thought he was too flashy, hah!

[Rich Bulena @ROttoB]

@NickRamos_1 Well, he was mayor of Santiago for 10 years before getting elected representative from Oriente, and he didn’t have the greatest reputation, but what Cuban politician does.

@tnpcollection Is that Angela Merkel on the right?

@ShamusCartogra1 @skdh When I taught statistics in community college, I knew most students weren’t going to use it, so I tried to give them a feel for quantitative reasoning, but all they wanted was a formula they could use to get a number, which is all most Americans want from Math.

@_MarkAllen Did you ever see one of their popup shows? In the late 80s in SF you’d see flyers about a show that night somewhere south of Market. It was totally illegal but back then that neighborhood was just abandoned warehouses, so nobody cared. They were great
