This Supreme Court wants to be the legislative branch and the executive branch too. Authoring new law with Dobbs v. Jackson & now, if they mess with the "obstruction of an official procedure", they will effectively rule with the intent to change how law was prosecuted!

Some people have heads too big for their bodies. They think a big head means a big brain. But, they are out of line.

The court should not be this involved in day to day running of the government.

@futurebird Arrogance and Stupidity are a bad combination in any circumstance, but on the Supreme Court, they are disastrous

My husband is mad that I put a teaspoon of icecream in my oatmeal.

But OMG I'm RIGHT! This is it! This is the ultimate soothing food.

@futurebird Can second this. While sugar at breakfast is a bad move for me, if my blood sugar is down in the afternoon, a little ice cream in oats is the perfect snack to get me going again. And delish!

IMO, Oatmeal is the ultimate experimental flavor platform. Ive had a few fails, its true, but surprisingly few given the number of things I have tried, and the when one hits it HITS.

I have come to the conclusion.that there is nothing that I will not try at least once in oats.

Current fave: when I know I have a tough day coming and need all the calories I can get, cooking an egg over easy in a tablespoon of butter, then dumping the whole thing in my oats is the best rich breakfast imaginable.

Someone on tumblr posted this survey to get the math people all riled up and I think it's working.

@futurebird Continuity is a point-wise property. "Is f(x)=1/x is continuous?" doesn't contain the information needed to answer the question, because "Where are you askin'?" what any proper Real Analyst would ask next.

There are more restrictive continuity properties, like Uniform Continuity, that are global, rather than point-wise, but that is a different discussion.
