Oh my shit I want everything that he touches with a brush.

Those paintings are as artistic as any art. Just because it's not a lady in a do-rag holding a bottle in a brown room doesn't mean it's not art.

EDIT: Oh man the one about 2/3 down the page with the dinosaurs on the road, I imagine the guy in the truck is just laying on the horn, like "Damn dinosaurs! Get out of the waaay!" All waving his other hand and beeping.

The equation in question—which might be my favorite in all of physics—the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation:
. . .
This equation comes up a lot in What If calculations. I like it both because it says something fundamental about our ability to explore the universe, and because you can use it to get really good at Kerbal Space Program.

Yes Randall, just... yessss.
(this an equation I know explicitly because of KSP)

On a completely different note, I met someone really cool at college today. They're an aspiring computer programmer, who's named after a character of myth and legend, they enjoy old Id software shooters (and in fact loves playing around making Doom maps), plays the flute, and probably has something like a billion other reasons why they're awesome that I don't know about.

If I could draw like Trampier I would draw like crazy at all times. I guess I could learn to draw like Trampier if I worked hard enough at it. Does it mean I would love it enough to get good at it? Have I just never allocated enough time to it? I used to draw but it was always a side thing and I didn't do very much and it wasn't that good - about what I would expect given the circumstances.

EDIT: Pnx is this person named Isis or Athena?

I'm not giving it away, but I'll say it's not Greek, Roman, or Egyptian in origin, and the specific myth/legend doesn't date from antiquity.

[Jopax]

Cthulhu?

If I ever have a stupendously fat son, this will be his middle name.

How will you know he's going to be fat? You need a little foresight to name him thusly, unless he is BORN overweight. Is that possible?

[lemon10]

You could have him genetically enhanced to be fat.

[Hanslanda]

I was taking him overly literal anyways. I don't actually think he'll do it.

Slenderman Gandalf?

Digital was not bad. I've purchased the Hateful Days thing in preparation for having more time for such things.

[Xantalos]

I've killed over 1000 things in DF.

I was under the impression that a function was something that mapped values from one set into another (put another way, given some kind of input you get some kind of output, but not necessarily that given any input you get some kind of output or vice versa) but I'm not really sure. I will wait for one of the resident smart people to explain the truthening.

Let A and B be sets.  We will write the cross-product A x B to denote the set of all ordered pairs, (a, b) such that a is in A and b is in B.

Then a function f is a subset of A x B such that if (x, y) and (x, z) are in f, y = z.
