each of these guys is more of a mathematician than i was at his age and having them as students has enriched my life. if you have a problem with any of them because of their faces, then you have a problem with me.

@mathillustrated that looks like something you would be expected to have read to pass a masters comprehensive exam in literature or something.

@mattnightingale @GodlyAction you guys are entirely too old to be this adorable.

@jemelehill one thing impacting KC, with respect to being below a typical june, is that ETS opted out of KC for a variety of AP readings this summer because of the world cup and moved to Louisville instead. this is probably on the order of 2000–3000 hotel rooms over 3 weeks in june.

@acnewsitics "cheering for" or "cosplaying as"?

@travisakers as a history teacher, would you just tell your students to "memorize the damn dates"? or would you want them to understand the causes of events that happened on particular dates? understanding should wildly precede memorization, unless you're learning lines for a play.

@megbasham @henjumeric43 where is the lie? please be specific. also, vis a vis "multiple assassination attempts" how did his ear grow back?

@Tazerface16 yes

x-100%x = x-x = x(1-1)=x(0)=0

but you don't need x to be a positive real number. this will be true in any field that contains the rational numbers as a subfield, or any vector space over the reals.

@Tazerface16 @truhollywdnoir this photo has me hearing Robert DeNiro saying "enthusiasms."

@cathasach4bikes but there is no dark side of the moon. (other than the Pink Floyd record.) there's a far side of the moon that is aways facing away from earth, but that side gets light sometimes too.

@solomonmissouri and put the regular brick color back.

@Patriotthought7 @mattnightingale in science the word "theory" does not mean "unproven hypothesis. scientists use that word to denote a cohesive field of study. for example "the theory of gravitation" isn't a claim that gravity is unproven, but rather all of the accumulated knowledge about how gravity works.

@1BusyDad @mattnightingale the hole in the ozone layer was allowed to repair itself because nations got together and agreed, in the Montreal Protocol, to stop using so many ozone depleting chemicals.

other things change because that's how science works.

@mattnightingale well, there is, but only in the Monty Python "THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!" way. and i hope that's a long way off for you Matt.

[ron taylor @math_doc_ron]

@mirgray @mattnightingale well, now i can't not see that.

[ron taylor @math_doc_ron]

@mattnightingale some of these folks are so narrow minded they could use a roll of stamps as a scratchpad.

[ron taylor @math_doc_ron]

@mattnightingale did you ever use the larger floppy discs?

@mathemactivist i was on the student activities board in college and interacted with Rondell Sheridan enough times that he knew my name when we bumped into each other.
