Put them both on whilst on the ground, then maybe take the ascenders off when transitioning?

That's what my wife is telling me.

Like into dinosaurs?

Hence my confusion. I would assume that in the context of exponentiation, power functions arise with regard to polynomials. Yet the main article Power Law is concerned only with statistical applications. Is my assumption wrong or am I looking in the wrong place?

Thanks.

Seems a basic question that I should figure out myself, but ...

I've been reading the trig entries in Wikipedia. Well, mostly the Trigonometry entry. It's bugging me that the word "secant" seems to mean both a chord of a circle and the ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent side. That is, the inverse of cosine.

My mind wants to equate these two usages, but I can't.

There's also the diagram which shows secant as the vertical horizontal line segment from the circle center to the tangent line, where the point of tangency is determined by the radius determined by the angle theta being used to determine the various trig ratios of the right triangle. Just eyeballing that segment as theta and the tangent line vary, it's easy to see that the length of that segment varies from r to infinity, just like the graph of $/secant(/theta)$.

So I'm beginning to conclude that these are distinct English usages that can't be equated mathematically.

Thanks.

PS. I'd appreciate it if someone reminds me of how to get TeX into comments, here.

Does it fit into that sizing box? I doubt the 55 would fit.

Also, how do people check their packs for flights? Some kind of cardboard box? Cheap nylon bag? Stainless steel mesh? Rawdog?

Thanks.

My last long-term job in the CBD was 2016-2018 or thereabouts. I remember Essence Fest happening and there was a carnival-like scene that filled the Loyola & Poydras intersection and at least a block in each direction. Food trucks, cotton-candy trucks, tables and tables of merchandise. The place was packed.

And I'm pretty sure it started a couple of days before the 4th. Today is a couple of days before the 4th and there is nothing there. Just a couple of Portalets that weren't there yesterday.

What gives?

Their web page still lists 2024 rates. Interested in Lone Pine to Horseshoe Meadow to access the Sierras.

Those six-packs are my lunch grab-n-go. I've never seen them not to have a pallet of sardines in that aisle in the 11 years I've lived here.

Anyone else catching warnings of generalized shortages to come? US oil companies warned last week that they've drawn down their reserves and that fuel shortages and price spikes will coincide with the summer driving season. The 4-month Strait closure is said to have interrupted fertilizer shipments to the point that some farmers here and abroad are choosing not to plant. So, food shortages incoming? Likely not here; we'll just keep paying even more for groceries. My bill yesterday was high and I didn't even get anything expensive. Well, I hadn't noticed that avocados had doubled to 7.99 until I reviewed the receipt.

Despite what Dear Leader says, no one else is predicting these prices will drop like a stone as soon as the Strait re-opens. And infrastructure has been destroyed, so shortages like jet fuel will likely continue for a year.

Just something I noticed shopping on Dublin St yesterday.

Thinking about actually ordering an F21 Pro with Google Play store loaded from any random seller on AliExpress. Somewhere between US$150-200, including shipping, excluding tariffs.

Anyone know the tariff amount I'd be facing? Also, anyone have a AliExpress selling with whom they've had good experience?

Thanks.

So I built a ground ring with #2/0 bare around a new electric room. One end goes to building steel. I'm not seeing a good lug to bond the transformers to this ground ring. I'm planning short whips with #2/0 green from my bonding lug inside each transformer. So I want something that crimps onto the whip and mechanically affixes onto the ring.

Owner doesn't want me to cadweld, because it's inside the building. He said I should use an "H lug". Not sure what that is and Google isn't helping.

Thanks.

Added later: Thanks for the comments. They reminded what an H-crimp is. Yea, I feel a little dumb. I spend so much time doing "add a receptacle here and change that light there" kind of work that sometimes I forgot real electrical stuff lol.

I'll read all the comments and check out all the links. But, yea, copper C crimps might be the way to go. Thanks.

Out of the box, at first; though I read it comes bloated with spyware. Really like that InkOS dot matrix look.
