There's a story this morning about a "very large hydrochloric acid leak" in a nearby community. The first place my brain went was that there's someone on the hazmat team thinking... "where can we buy a 20 ton dumptruck load of baking soda?"

Built a [reasonably] high-powered (gaming) PC since my laptop and my son's laptops were way too slow at 3D modeling. I decided to build it partly since the pre-built units were not optimized for 3D modeling (e.g., very difficult to find a Intel i7-14700K CPU, DDR5 RAM, decent NVIDIA GeForce RTX video card, etc... without price skyrocketing. Also went for a fun LED outfitted case, liquid CPU cooling (necessary these days I guess), etc... Other reason for scratch building was to show my kids how to do it (or at least that it is possible). Been 25+ years since I built a PC (used to do it all the time both for myself and when I worked in a computer store pre-Dell) - honestly most annoying part was getting LEDs to work right.

I did an upgrade last year before I had hardware from 2015 now I have the latest and greatest all of which I got for free by getting good math grades. Being a kid had perks…

Wow, good on you! When I was in 10th grade, on the advanced math track, we had a lot of family problems, and I nearly flunked Algebra II. Got past it, though, and went on to trig and calculus in high school, and a successful career as a mechanical engineer, doing mostly analysis.

Don't know your situation, but I hope it's good and that you have plenty of blessings to tally up!

I wish I was in advanced math, it’s my worst subject its not the algebra so much as I have never been very good at arithmetic.

My dad needs that.

My dad needs that.

But if he give it to him, will he still cosine a loan for you?

That's going off on a tangent isn't it?

How quickly you triangulated on the puns. How acute of you.

Ooo! Medieval heraldry pun!

Supposedly, at one point someone canted an SCA device with "on the dexter, two bear's gams."

Actually it's a trigonometry pun.

Careful, some people may develop an allergy to trigonometry after repeated exposure.
They may have to use cots.

And if they have a really bad reaction, they won't just lie around hoping trigonometry won't come to them. No, they'll secant destroy.

Wait a sec, are you saying that trig is a sin?
Cos this is giving me a headache.
I may have to lay down on the beach and get a tan.
