  • Even though the lines are infinitely far away from the x axis, they are still the same distance apart. Even if you parameterizing the slope of one line and modify it:

    Ax - 2 = x Intersection is Ax - 2 - x = 0 x = 2 / (A - 1)

    So they become parallel as A approaches 1

    So the inter section point for A = 1 is lim 2 / (A-1) as A -> 1

    Which is 2/0, or undefined.

    You can gain a lot of insight with graphical explanations, but sometimes can fall into traps, so it’s helpful to translate that to formal notation sometimes.

    Casting a wider net.

    Some people just have to work harder in certain fields than others. You’re skills may be in building, writing, gardening or something else but they’re not in attracting a wide variety of matches and that’s ok. I also suck at making dating profiles, don’t photograph well and don’t have the most interesting job.

    I just need to put in more hours on Hinge and reach out to more people than a friend of mine who says he just opens the app and can get a date within the hour.

    For context, if I’m actively looking I can usually swing one or two dates a month which is fine for my schedule as I work and have other things I’m doing in my free time. I’m also in my 30s so am matching with people who also have busy schedules which makes scheduling even harder.





  • And you should wear it with confidence. Honestly had the most respect for people who are really cute out in public but then reveal their true gremlin selves at home when the makeup is off and they’re in pajamas and a t shirt.

    Means they really worked for those good looks, which most people really need to do at my age.



  • It’s a pilot program for a few stores.

    The city currently has a program where they’re paying private grocery stores to try and mitigate food deserts, but there’s so few strings attached it’s just free money to the shops.

    He’s proposing ending that, and using the money to directly open grocery stores in food deserts run as city owned coops.

    It’s not infringing on private business because they’re not operating in these areas anyway.




  • Anyone selling a computer to an institution, like a school or company, it is expected that they will be locked down, especially if the end user isn’t technical.

    If anything, if google didn’t make things locked down and controlled schools would never have bought them and had to worry about debugging the 20 kid’s messed up environments.

    Kids SHOULD have been tinkering with their own private computers, a laptop from their parents or something like that.

    The issue is

    1. All tech companies, Google, Apple, Microsoft, are all pushing for users to store their stuff in their clouds instead of locally on their machines and having to worry about their local filesystems, and their local environments.

    2. Software as a Service, or much better environment standardization through things like steam means if you want to just use software it usually works without much effort. You don’t need to debug bad installs or dive through the installations unless you want to mod things, and even then many things have native mod support so you don’t even need to poke through the folder structure or understand how software loading works to run sophisticated mods for most games.
