Its easy to think about vectors in the first sense (as anything with direction and magnitude) when we're working with classical units (space, force, electric fields, etc)

But it becomes a nightmare to understand intuitively when the vector is defined as something with magnitude and direction when speaking about units that are not obvious to us humans (like time)

That only happens if you don't know to put the cord through your tshirt or top you're wearing along your back.

The chickens haven't come home to roost yet. But by now it's building up into a tsunami.

The tiger wasn't interested in her. The vet advised him to avoid trash food.

What amuses me is this reads like is written by an amazed american getting wowed by some things the rest of the world already has had for decades. Whats sad is Americans have this exceptionalism mentality where if an old tech like steam and diesel caused them to rule out rail... they never reconsider even if the tech advances.

Of course they are. The more they get to know their classmates the less ignorant they become and hence the less weird behaviors they exhibit.

I am not sure we should be playing death count olympics. Besides, it's a bit weird that Hindus only care about Hindus and we didn't hear shit when civilians were dying already.

Yeah but some urban legends deserve to be kept alive for some time.

Well to elaborate I just felt like the derelict nature of the walls and surrounding greenery that has grown over several years unpeturbed by human conflict is evoking a sense of peace and slow life.

This contrasts with the busy, noisy days when the walls saw humans attack each other. I yearn for some slow days too.
