@Floppy is someone who was incorrectly declared dead 'undead'?

@ccppurcell @11011110 well, that got me to look at it.
Is someone chopping onions?

Further evidence the tiny L-P is a mathematician, at bathtime last night:

* holding a bottle full of water *

Must learn to speak more precisely __to my 1 year old__

@pkra labelling equations is occasionally helpful on screen. The worked solutions to Numbas problems use them quite often.
What would the text be for a link to an unlabelled equation?

@JordiGH I think they're auto-spamming lots of people. The emails are usually worded in a way that makes it look like they're not specifically targetting Mastodon. I'd be surprised if a human with any kind of influence on the system ever sees your response,

@jc I also do that!

@nebusj I enjoyed reading that, and I'm going to try it. Morley's theorem is bad voodoo, true.

@autumnaterr and tonnes of people in offices or non-automated shops have a basic add-subtract-multiply-divide calculator hanging about

@autumnaterr well, casio scientific calculators are what almost everyone uses. The ones they use these days can compute all sorts of statistics and do some light algebra, but the input method is the same.
