Best wishes to you or to whoever you are visiting!

The official obits are rolling in. I hear the NYT mentions nothing about Alice Palestine support ofc. When she won her MacArthur, Alice got death threats from Zionists. They ruined her joy on a HUGE accomplishment. She told me the MacArthur ppl took down her personal statement & when she complained

Looks very fine. What number hook?

No idea what your poetry is like (I don’t “get“ poetry in English) but I doubt any other participant looks more fabulous. Every time I see you with the new hair colour… it fits your style so well!

I never could make any sense of logic questions, but I know where they hide!

Last Thursday I told the students as a fact (no proof) that every nonzero ring (commutative with 1) has a maximal ideal. I added that anyone wanting more info should search “abstruse goose zornaholic”.

I probably can’t just walk around an random Italian town and post what I see without being slapped with adult content.

This is about the moderation putting an Escher behind adult content warning because there are stylized human breasts suggested in the drawing

There’s never enough time, but I like the idea of at least hinting that there’s more than meets the eye.

definition of locally ringed

functions defined on every open subset
one can restrict and glue them

If f,g are functions, then f+g, f-g and fg are also functions
If f is a function on U open
f(p) exists for p\in U
D(f) :={p in U s.t. f(p)≠0} is open in U
1/f is a function on D(f).

If at some point you find it or rewrite it, do repost it or link it here!

Five feet Is a lot! Where do you display it?

Some people have a gift for reconstructing 3D shapes from their 2D image, and manipulating them in their minds. I am extremely bad at this (I tested! Severe underperformer).

Plus in general my eyesight isn’t that great.

On the other hand, I can “see“ what others cannot.

This year I explained and sketch of proofed that the spectrum is the “natural“ space with the given functions, once you insist you want to work with locally ringed spaces, which I motivated by referring to manifolds. No idea how to teach algebraic geometry to people who don’t know manifolds.
