(case is fine. most of the components are fine. i don't know which part melted but i can tell you that it stank REAL bad. the air here is awful)
teaser until then: is this an example of a double-cover of rotations? i do not think so. Pythagoras twice probably doesn't count, but let's /not/ watch it

i use Linux. but i do not like to. it avoids Bill Gates and Steve Jobs well enough, but puts me way too close to the Department of Defense and Google.
my favorite operating systems will be MicroPython and CircuitPython

Well if people enjoyed that one, there was also this time Farnsworth and Hirsch designed a small fusion reactor that could fit atop a foldup tv dinner table.
(Different first names, possibly no relation. I'm taking a nap. Reactor works great tho)

compare silver-copper alloys? iirc, they don't make solid solution or intermetallics, and the silver parts will have a negative voltage strong enough to rapidly corrode the copper parts

i was thinking maybe intermetallic alloys like Ni1Al1 have increased corrosion resistance? because it's all one phase instead of eutectic plate-or-bar microstructure, there's no way to develop a voltage, and you don't get galvanic corrosion.
(be skeptical, i'm sick and maybe thinking nonsense)

sequences are different. sequences can converge conditionally but not absolutely. these wouldn't even do that, they were just divergent. what if we put 1-1/2+1/3-1/4+... into a matrix? terms would be rearranged. would that have a sum?

One of my best friends a few months ago mentioned being lonely. And it reframed my whole last few years suddenly. It's easier to do something about the misery if we know where it's coming from? But some days it'd be easier to change the past.

No, no, I think you were probably right! It's not stellar at salt maybe, but definitely up there fairly high

Would it help if my neighbors are asking the local library to buy more copies? Because I just realized that's actually happening.
