brought my long-suffering tabletop warlock Kalus with me when I started my BG3 playthrough and he's having a great time. making lots of new friends. sticking worms in his brain. the usual.

me when im obsessed with dead singers from 50 (well... mostly 70-120) years ago and im heartbroken to know i'll never see them on stage... never hear them breathe, never see them sweat, never even touch the hem of their garment...

it really is enough to drive a person mad...

#this is so funny because this is the one vaguepost that i wholeheartedly 100% agree with skdhsjshsjdhsn #like yeah!! it does indeed pain me that the level of operatic singing has so drastically decreased over the last 50 years! #that top operatic stars of today are all either nasal or wobbly or knödely or completely inaudible without microphones #but some of yall are just not ready for this conversation. example a #anyway. as many have said before. its kinda easier to understand how some people cant appreciate certain operas #if they never heard them sung well lol #sorry im out of blood today. i know this is a very uncomfortable subject for many but. #you can actually judge someone's singing in a pretty objective way. there are nuances of course. but from a technical point of view #it really is pretty simple #(also its not like i dont enjoy *some* modern singers lol have you SEEN my kwiecień posting???? lmao #hell. there are even some modern singers i have a soft spot who i KNOW sing... Not Very Well. but i enjoy them lol #not many ofc but. yknow) #also 50 years ago would be the 1970s if im doing my maths correctly and. that is really the point in opera history #when it all started going downhill (sadly partly because of one of my all time favourite singers' influence... but thats a different story) #anyway. remember when luis tetrazzini said that the future generations of singers will be The Best singers in history #because they'll have access to all those recordings of The Greats Of The Past that they'll be able to listen to and learn from? #lmao queen you were right about so many things but that was tragically not one of them </3 #opera tag #yes im stirring the pot of boiling liquid shit and putting this post gently into the main tag #*luisA tetrazzini ofc #lol and lmao im out FOR blood* shdgsjsghs

i think if jean got stranded on a deserted island he’d be ok w it……. like “OK fine this is my life now. not worse than anything else ive been through. let me sit in the peace and quiet where nothing will try to kill me except for animals that don’t know any better. if they succeed at least they’ll feed.” they will be kinder to his body than the Moriyama’s. actually i think he would kind of take comfort in it after a while…… also shirtless jean on a hot island learning to make tools and fires and shelters by hand. his hands having a use that isn’t exy. he has survived worse. i can’t think ab him bc i will cry and also foam at the mouth. SORRY

THIS IS THE FUNNIEST ASK anon going back and forth between feeling bad for jean and wanting to fuck him....... many many many such cases....... haven't we all been there at some point. i agree i think he'd take comfort in being alone and at peace and surrounded by nature plus jean really can adapt to anything at this point. truly the 'might as well' aftg character. if i had to pick any character to be with me on a stranded island i have no doubt in my heart it'd be jean, and not even just for the eye candy

think with me. kevin would not know how to help at all. andrew would help himself (maybe) but definitely not me. neil the same. none of the other foxes (bar renee) have a survival instinct. jeremy is a normal ass person. jean is the only one who would feel enough empathy for me as a person to help get us both out of there safe and sound and has the capability of doing it. if i couldn't have jean i'd pick renee but i think she'd make it a religious experience of sorts and unfortunately i am the devil from the bible. riko would be just as useless as kevin but at least it'd be amusing to watch him have a breakdown. basically jean or i'm dead

so some might argue that spending $415 on makeup and skincare and clothes and jewelry was unwise and stupid, but i'd like to think of it as an investment into my future. think about it. makeup, skincare, clothes, and jewelry all make you look cuter, right? (or prettier or hotter!) rich guys like beautiful girls. therefore, because im wearing the super cute sweater with super cute earrings with beautiful, glowy makeup and perfect, clear skin, a rich guy will instantly fall in love with me and spoil me with more money than i could ever imagine!! so like basically you spend $415 but then the rich guy gives you back millions. so, you could say that the $415 you spent on your appearance and self care will actually give you a lifetime of lavish comfort!

#girl math! #jisu talks! #so basically #spend $$$ #get back $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ !!!!!! #its simple really

i hate how geometry is one of the most practical maths to know. i thought i’d be done forever after i learned calculus, but no, here i am using the law of cosines to figure out if my damage output in a video game is optimal.

#law of cosines is trig i know but foundational maths are pretty obviously interlinked after a point #'why are you using the law of cosines?' well you see there are three axes to the dmg calculation and they are multiplicative in nature #so to visualize it we make a triangle whose points are uhh how do i describe this #well first you have to convert the three stats to the same scale of measurement so that the axes are fair #and then where the three axes meet is the center of the triangle and you go some number of units... #this really doesn't make much sense w/o visual aids or concrete numerical examples huh. #i'll just save my breath since trying to just explain it in words isn't gonna communicate my information effectively #and would probably just confuse more than it clarifies #the worm speaks #but anyway basically i'm trying to see if the area of the triangle is the best it could be rn #but this isn't a right triangle and i don't have its base + height so calculating its area isn't simple 1/2 b*h

[avatar-aaang]

can any math people on here help me figure out how to find coordinates on a graph for f(x)=(4/5)^x. like how to I do that

like I am googling like a madman and I cannot figure this out. And then also what the fuck is an asymptote. Like this is algebra 1 stuff for a freshman. I'm p sure we never did this specific stuff, and if we did I probably didn't get it then either

#personal #i feel so bad for not being able to help but i have literally no fucking clue #this is why we keep asking for us go get classes to teach us at least up to algebra 1 stuff bc past middle school i cannot do math #and like mostly bc i never really did stuff like this post high school #but i didnt think id find myself needing help for it when kids are coming to me for help with it ajdkfkfkkffl #anyway if anyone can explain or point me to somewhere where its broken down so simple a caveman could do it. i would worship the ground #you walk on. thanks lol

every day for the past week I have become inexplicably more and more interested in quilting

#listen im a stupid son of a bitch alright. i cant do math to save my life and complex issues confuse me unless i have 2+ years to process #however: me want make things with hands #also i cannot STAND crocheted things. im really sorry if you like to crochet/love them but i do not agree at all #the yarn (yarn??) used for crocheting is itchy and frizzy and it just fucking sucks. i will die on this hill #knitting is even on thin ice because some of the material is okay and good but all the so called ~high quality~ stuff is like #so stupid frizzy and STUPID. ITS STUPID #WHY DO YOU ALL KNIT WITH THINGS THAT ARE FRIZZY. THE TEXTURE IS AWFUL. WHAT ARE YOU DOING #however: super soft stuff also irritates me so this is probably a me thing #HOWEVER: quilts are not made of frizzy yarn. they are made of sheets of fabric #and the way quilts feel on my skin is such a pleasant sensory experience #the divets from the actual quilting and the heaviness of it and the way the surface gets chilled but not cold #i just LOVE IT OKAY #and i really want to try to make one but i also REALLY don't want to have to purchase a sewing machine #(yes i know there's cheaper ones but i don't want to spend anything over $50 girl and i dont even know how to use a sewing machine) #apparently you can hand sew them which sounds doable for me (im awful at mending but i can sew a straight line probably) #but. that will take AGES #maybe ill really take my time planning a simple quilt thats like. special interest themed??? #that way i dont lose interest a few months in? #idk i just really want to make something that has tangible use and value afterwards #and i cannot afford the thousands of dollars of equipment needed to accurately create wooden furniture so. maybe ill do this #anyway how do you buy fabric /gen. they're all in rolls at the store so do i just like. tell them what size i need and they cut it for me?? #hey google what happens to a quilt if you have really shitty and crooked stitches #anyway. if i reblog 400 quilting posts in a row im so sorry. this is (probably) a phase

OKAY THIS ARTICLE IS SO COOL

I'm going to try to explain this in a comprehensible way, because honestly it's wild to wrap your head around even for me, who has a degree in chemistry. But bear with me.

Okay, so. Solids, right? They are rigid enough to hold their shape, but aside from that they are quite variable. Some solids are hard, others are soft, some are brittle or rubbery or malleable. So what determines these qualities? And what creates the rigid structure that makes a solid a solid? Most people would tell you that it depends on the atoms that make up the solid, and the bonds between those atoms. Rubber is flexible because of the polymers it's made of, steel is strong because of the metallic bonds between its atoms. And this applies to all solids. Or so everybody thought.

A paper published in the journal Nature has discovered that biological materials such as wood, fungi, cotton, hair, and anything else that can respond to the humidity in the environment may be composed of a new class of matter dubbed "hydration solids". That's because the rigidity and solidness of the materials doesn't actually come from the atoms and bonds, but from the water molecules hanging out in between.

So basically, try to imagine a hydration solid as a bunch of balloons taped together to form a giant cube, with the actual balloon part representing the atoms and bonds of the material, and the air filling the balloons as the water in the pores of the solid. What makes this "solid" cube shaped? It's not because of the rubber at all, but the air inside. If you took out all the air from inside the balloons, the structure wouldn't be able to hold its shape.

Ozger Sahin, one of the paper's authors, said

"When we take a walk in the woods, we think of the trees and plants around us as typical solids. This research shows that we should really think of those trees and plants as towers of water holding sugars and proteins in place. It's really water's world."

And the great thing about this discovery (and one of the reasons to support its validity) is that thinking about hydration solids this way makes the math so so so much easier. Before this, if you wanted to calculate how water interacts with organic matter, you would need advanced computer simulations. Now, there are simple equations that you can do in your head. Being able to calculate a material's properties using basic physics principles is a really big deal, because so far we have only been able to do that with gasses (PV=nRT anyone?). Expanding that to a group that encompasses 50-90% of the biological world around us is huge.

[vaspider]

If you have celiac or otherwise can't eat wheat, btw, and you like bread, I highly recommend investing in a breadmaker. Even the best store-bought gluten-free bread does not hold a candle to the stuff that comes out of our breadmaker, and it's cheaper per slice even when we buy bread mix in single-loaf bags.

This is our breadmaker. Evie got it on sale, but it is an investment. I'm not going to pretend it isn't a chunk of change up front. There are cheaper ones, but the reason I like this one and think it's worth the money:

It has two smaller paddles, where our older bread maker that my mom got us and got destroyed by getting construction dust in it had one big paddle in the middle. This leaves a big hole in the middle of the finished loaf, which makes the bread much less useful for, like, sandwiches.

Zojirushi is not as well-known a brand in the US, but it's a Brand Name in Japan for good reason. Evie's had our Zojirushi rice cooker for over a decade & we had to replace the inner bowl once bc someone used metal utensils in it and scratched the non-stick coating. We expect to use this machine for at least a decade.

You can program your own cycles, which we found really useful. Evie built a custom cycle that removed the punch-down sections (gluten-free bread tends not to rise as much) and that made our perfect loaf.

A lot of bread machines produce very tall, square loaves, which are awkward to slice, store, and make sandwiches with. This produces loaves that make good sandwiches and toast, and the French toast slices don't crowd the pan.

The top heating element on this gives a really amazingly browned top crust that we definitely didn't get on our old machine.

It's so pretty.

So how is it cheaper in the long run if the machine costs $300+? A little like this:

We use Pamela's Bread Mix bc it's really consistent and easy - you need the bread mix, water, yeast, 3 egg whites, and oil. (We use avocado oil and find it best and most consistent, but regular vegetable oil works!) We buy Pamela's in bulk, and without any subscription discounts or whatever, the $48 pack of 3 bags makes about 11.5 loaves. With the cost of yeast and eggs and stuff, it ends up costing about $4.50 a loaf. (If you buy your yeast in larger bags & store it in an airtight container, you can create less waste and it's also cheaper.)

By comparison, a loaf of Franz GF Bread costs $7-8, and Canyon Bakehouse usually runs about the same.

However, that's not an apples to apples comparison because the Franz loaf is an 18 oz. loaf, whereas our breadmaker makes a 2 lb. loaf. Assuming even the lower-end cost for getting a Franz loaf at the store, an equivalent amount of bread would cost $12.42, and it's not nearly as good.

(Yes, gluten-free bread is fucking expensive. That's part of why I'm writing this post in the first place.)

Anyway, assuming you eat 2 lbs. of bread a week in your house - a breadmaker loaf, basically, to make the math simple - you'll end up spending $7.92 less on bread every week. That means that even at the most expensive cost for the Zojirushi, if you buy it at its highest price (don't do that! wait for a sale!) it'll take 50 weeks - about a year - before the breadmaker pays for itself. If you manage to get it on a 25% off sale (which we did), it pays for itself in about 9 months.

Nine months, I must stress, in which you are eating much more delicious bread.

We tend to go through a couple of loaves a week because toast, sandwiches, and melts are great food for people with low spoons.

Evie and I perfected the Pamela's mix recipe for this particular machine - I'll get it typed up when I'm downstairs next, along with the quasi-babka recipe. (Really, it's like a marble cake and babka and bread had a baby, and it's a family favorite.)

Bread good. The end.
