This is so profoundly sad for a country that once had so much. My Cuban ex-pat family decry the communist government role here but I can never forgive the US for their inhumanity in tacitly letting this disaster unfold and others in the Caribbean, but what else is new.

Season 3 was some of the most riveting television I have ever watched. I’m a bit of a sucker but I still really liked Season 4 despite its pacing, it was a victim of the writers strike.

It’s also almost the holiday season!

My friend has a wedding in Tampa on Saturday and as of this morning are still planning for it…

Don’t forget wood and oil

The Italian Bombelli in 1572 seemed to toy with both concepts but called imaginary numbers “quantità silvestri” (silvestri meaning ‘wild’) and complex numbers “numeri complessi”. Interesting the imaginary is a quantity and the complex is a number, but maybe old Italian didn’t have that distinction.

I suppose Descartes would agree with you, he first coined the term “imaginary” because he didn’t think they’d serve much purpose. Euler made use of them and continued using the term. Complex number is a complex - a number with a real and an imaginary component.

Main characters are mid-life Vietnam veterans, the movie made White Russians cool (probably more from the cult following it got in the 00s), also bowling alleys( and LA ;) had their heyday in the 90s

I had enough of YouTube too this past week and started using this server to stream videos. Speaking of Queen, I listened through “The Works” for the first time this week and it was quite the ride, my toddler son really rocked out to it.

Okay, first off, a lion swimming in the ocean? Lions don’t like water. If you’d placed it near a river or some sort of fresh water source, that’d make sense. But you find yourself in the ocean, 20-foot waves, I’m assuming it’s off the coast of South Africa, coming up against a full-grown, 4-pound blobfish with his 20 or 30 friends? You lose that battle. You lose that battle nine times out of ten. And guess what? You’ve wandered into our school of blobfish, and we now have a taste of lion. We’ve talked to ourselves. We’ve communicated. “Lion tastes good. Let’s go get some more lion!" We’ve developed a system to establish a beachhead and aggressively hunt you and your family. And we will corner your pride, your children, your offspring…

I’ve been using Flipboard since 2012 and with the ebb and flow of how news is consumed over the last 12 years I think Flipboard has stayed true to its original goal, a simple news aggregator app . I remember when they first introduced ads into the app I was almost turned off, but the ads ended up being formatted similar to the news article so they weren’t intrusive to my experience.

There’s been a few news sources that are garbage but I just mute them and never see them in my feed. I think after 12 years the app has figured out my interests xD

I also read a lot of news in Spanish and the app does a good job of including non-US publications
