Comment on Democrats: Masters of Helping Without Being Seen by Scot

I am of the “democrats suck” ilk. It seems that people are divided into two camps (~statistical distributions, should not be necessary to state). I think it’s genetic. When insults fly (myself included..it can be fun, relieve stress), we should realize that we are insulting about half of the population. Also, I can think of no one who has changed from one mind to another through insults or arguments. The “my religion is better than yours” is fruitless, though it seems we cannot avoid going there sometimes. It seems people change their minds only from observing what’s going on around them and forming their own conclusions.

Circle takes the square!

Is that right? I haven’t watched Jeopardy in awhile.

Comment on Bold vectors in LaTeX by Robert Paynter

How about Greek letters as vectors, i.e. they need to be upright (Roman), and bold. The one I really want is phi, this ought to do it but doesn’t:

\mathbf{\mathrm{\phi}}

I have been following a wild goose chase around the LaTeX documentation and still haven’t pinned it down – do any of you guys know?

Joss says that his stories are like life, open ended.
Seen it in Angel’s 5th season extras.

I count that kind of longing, searching, out of place, trying to fit in trope as part of coming of age. It’s probably something separate, but I never went to film school.

Not sure that applies to Firefly/Serenity. Any innocence Mal had was lost long before we meet him. You might be able to make that argument about River but she’s not the central character and her story isn’t so much about coming of age but trying to find what she’s lost.
