I’m thinking piston ring. Thoughts?

Yup. Well said.

Thanks for the really kind words. I carry the reaction to that article with me every second. I learned that people need to feel understood. Imagine this- One woman told me her friend died by suicide and referenced the story it in the note she left behind. Here is what I wrote. Broke my heart to reread it. tsn.ca/nhl/depression-and-my… #SickNotWeak

My rules for the "check in". 1. Ask. Regularly. Don't quit after one "I'm fine." 2. Explain why you're asking. Give specific evidence as to why your concerned. IE. "you dont seem like yourself, and here's why..." 3. Ask rhetorical questions like "I want to know if you're mentally okay. its fine if you don't want to answer me- but answer yourself, and be honest." 4. The key question for all of us: Does your mental health allow you to live your best life?

Thank you @WabKinew Too few have the backbone to call out @ABDanielleSmith lies. From a grateful Albertan.

✨💥✨💥Conic Section✨💥✨💥 👉✨#Circle A circle is the set of all points equidistant from a fixed center. Daily_life_application: Circles appear in wheels, coins, and clocks—symbols of motion and continuity. 👉✨#Ellipse An ellipse is formed when a plane cuts a cone at an angle, creating a stretched circle. Daily life application: Elliptical shapes define planetary orbits and whispering galleries, where sound travels smoothly. 👉✨#Parabola A parabola represents the path of a point moving so that its distance from a focus equals its distance from a directrix. Daily life application: Parabolic mirrors and antennas focus light and signals precisely, enhancing communication and vision. 👉✨#Hyperbola A hyperbola consists of two open curves formed when a plane cuts both nappes of a cone. Daily life application: Hyperbolas guide navigation systems and describe the shape of cooling towers and radio waves. Ẩn bớt

You know π belongs to circles… but what about e? Imagine a magical bank offering 100% interest per year. You deposit $1, wait a year, and walk away with $2. Simple. But what if the bank compounds your interest twice a year—50% every six months? After 6 months: you have $1.50. Now you earn interest not just on $1, but on $1.50. By the end of the year: $1.50 (1.50 × 0.5) = $2.25. You just made more than doubling your money. Naturally, you say: “Do it faster.” Daily. Every second. Continuously. Mathematically, this becomes: (1 1/n)ⁿ As n (the number of compounding periods) grows larger and larger, something incredible happens… You hit a limit. No matter how fast you compound, the value approaches 2.718… In 1748, Leonhard Euler recognized this number as a universal constant and named it e. And no—it wasn’t named after him. It simply emerged from the mathematics of growth itself. From finance to physics, from biology to probability—e is everywhere. Not bad for a number born from compounding interest.

This is the most important, most brilliant, and most well written thing you could read today. If you’re an Albertan, or a Canadian, and read nothing else, fine. Just read this. Goodness me. Every word. readtheline.ca/p/clarke-ries…

When Americans get inspired by Canada’s Mark Carney… while some parasites here attack him and their leader says Carney doesn’t understand economics!!! 10 min worth watching. Inspiring. 🇨🇦

mathnet.csail.mit.edu/ This is a gold mine for all #math lovers. A huge collection of Olympiad-level math problems. @MIT

I’m a Conservative… but I’m begging us to get serious. I’m begging on my knees for someone else to write his speeches. We can disagree with Mark Carney all day long on policy. Fair game. Necessary, even. But saying the guy has an “illusion of knowledge” is like saying Connor McDavid has an illusion of being able to skate. We don’t win by pretending competence is fake. We win by proving we can do better.

Ont student attendance linked to marks. Don’t get too excited, parents will simply “approve” the absence voiding any negative mark consequence. Hence the outcome will be more mark inflation. #IMO

RT @HenriAGS: Pierre will NEVER change

NCAA now competing with NBA salaries to “keep one and done’s” in college.

#Trump speaking at his news conference today, is like me writing a 500 word essay in high school. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Trump’s options to save face is ever closer to being only a nuclear one. I think this concern is percolating in many people’s minds today, after POTUS most recent expletive filled post aimed at Iran.
