Got it! I was racking my brain for how the physical design of a Reece's Cup somehow captured span and independence, and how the structure of a Kit Kat might differ and....headache.

I woke up with a headache this morning and reading this skeet is not helping. So uh, what?

FWIW, the reason "academia had it coming" is usually some thinly veiled version of (1) my colleagues keep making fun of my shitty race science, (2) people called me an asshole for saying false things about COVID, or (3) mommy says I'm a very clever boy but my professors didn't appreciate my genius.

I guess a big difference in review time comes from the fact that our refs are expected to check our proofs, whereas theirs are not expected to rerun their experiments, that would be ridiculous.
Of course *someone* should be incentivized to rerun those experiments 👀. That’s another convo tho.

Tell me about it, I did a simulation for a biology paper for what was effectively hypothesis testing and wrote a few paragraphs about it, I got folded in and boom I was an author. I don’t even know what this misregulation shit I was simulating was! Shockingly, I wasn’t the last author.

I’ll be honest, I thought 6 months on paper 9 months in practice was just the norm universally.

I’ve posted about this function (with my own desmos) every Halloween to my Calculuses Canvas pages.

"It took about two hours of work in a long and boring faculty meeting. They had food, so I went, but they can't make me pay attention" no they can't!! 💪💪💪

This is amazing, will definitely share this. Have you thought about a Journal for Humanistic Mathematics paper about this?

lol, It's *not* like I have no response to this. Man, negating a statement sure changes it's meaning doesn't it 😆?

Two things.
This is not "the" main issue to be mad about.
but also
It is the issue around which Democrats can easily articulate all the bad Trump is doing at all the agencies.
So, the king thing, yeah, fine, but Dems should be using it to message about all the actual things evil they are doing.

I was going to show them some of my latex notes to myself and iPad drawings. There are occasional swears when working out the details of a line which didn’t make sense yielded a counterexample.

I’m really glad this project exists, and I’m happy to contribute something if there is a need/desire!

I think that’s all great advice, thanks! But they don’t, I think, get at heart of “what is it exactly you all do?”

Both and also unclear what math research even is. I think most people think new math hasn’t been done since the 1500’s.
