the opposite of brittle

I think that would be "tough", which has a mathematical definition in materials science: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toughness?wprov=sfla1

Meanwhile, giraffes:

What's the point? It's not like the people who still put money into this scam are going to be turned off by yet more undelivered promises.

You don't have to delete your account unless you want to free up the name for someone else.

Making an account on another instance to try it won't hurt anything.

Either the bowl or the shroud around it is probably overstimulating the poor guy's whiskers.

Most likely written down somewhere. The seed phrase is the backup method of storing a private key to a crypto wallet. You're supposed to put it somewhere safe as a way to recover the wallet if the normal way to access it (a software app or a hardware device) fails.

Brute-forcing a full 12 or 24 word phrase would take centuries to millennia, so there's only a few possibilities:

1. They just found the full phrase written on a card in a safe somewhere, in which "deciphering" it is as simple as typing it into a fucking wallet app;
2. He was smart enough to split the phrase up and keep different parts of it in different places, so they might have had to brute-force part of it;
3. They found a hardware wallet and hacked into it to recover the phrase;
4. (exceedingly unlikely) they figured out that the random number generator he used to generate the phrase was broken and had predictable output patterns.

Bark Antony would never hurt anyone.

To be fair, if you're a character actor in Hollywood, can you really afford to be turning down parts merely because they're typecasting you?

As long as people are making media with Nazis in it, someone's gonna get cast to play the Nazi. Might as well cast someone who understands the role.

It doesn't mean they believe in it, which is discussed in the very article you linked.

Seems pretty straightforward, actually:

"We need to cast someone to play a Nazi for this episode."

"Remember that one guy we cast in Voyager? He was pretty good. Let's just get him back."

Both series had the same primary casting directors:

Yeah, it can be really helpful to understand the context and the problems they were trying to solve.

Like for example, I think a lot of pop-sci talk about Special/General Relativity is missing huge chunks of context, because in reality, Einstein didn't come up with these theories out of thin air. His breakthrough was creating a coherent framework out of decades of theoretical and experimental work from the scientists that came before him.

And the Einstein Field Equations really didn't answer much on their own, they just posed more questions. It wasn't until people started to find concrete solutions for them that we really understood just how powerful they were.

Trying to teach yourself higher math without a textbook is nearly impossible.

You could try just Googling all the Greek letters and symbols but have fun sifting through the hundred-odd uses of σ for the one that's relevant to your context. And good fucking luck if it's baked into an image.

The quickest way I've gotten an intuition for a lot of higher math things was seeing it implemented in a programming language.

I understood about 45% of that, and I also hate them.
