Mostly accurate. The 55 and 70 signs need the "minimum 40" signs underneath them.
And a crosswalk with a "school zone" speed limit sign, with a sign underneath of it listing all the times and days it applies.

I am wearing it now. Got home, did a mess of house cleaning, and had company for dinner. We did salad, steaks, taters, and Black Forest cake for dessert.
I have to say, the hallmark of that Red Deer hospital is shitty communications. left hand never knows what the right hand is doing. They have me booked for another Holter monitor in Three Hills for morning of July 31. Same day as they have me booked for a CT scan in Drumheller in the morning. No way to make both appointments. I will phone on Monday to get it sorted out.

Not really. They exist. I've seen some crazy ones. The one in a small town that had a 12.5 mph speed limit. Saw that one, myself. Dad was driving so a loooong time ago.
Or when you're going from 55 down to 25 in a few hundred feet. It feels like you're standing still. Speed trap city.
The decent burgs go from 55 to 40/45 to 30/35 to 25. Nice and gradual, plenty of warning. But there are some towns which have a tourist industry being the local traffic court.

They had trouble setting the bone. After two failed efforts, they put her in Chinese finger traps and then hung a 10# weight off of her bicep to put the break into traction for 20 minutes.
The ortho was then able to get everything lined up properly.
She is fine with not much pain. However, she is quickly learning how many things in life require TWO hands. Fortunately, it was her left arm.

When you have a small town whose single largest public agency is the police with maybe a 10:1 population to cop ratio, this is what you get. When the overwhelming majority of cop activity is revenue generation through traffic tickets and other civil citations, that's honest to God over-policing and abuse of power.

A lot of visa overstays, some going on twenty years now.
Funny thing is, if they went home they could easily come back on a new visa for the next harvest season. Needed to make the family reunion anyway.
Probably has always been that way. But a lot more risky now with the sloppy immigration enforcement and the country getting flooded with caravans from south of Mexico. Might not get a new visa - Sorry, Country is full.

I read somewhere the odd or weird speed limits like that, have something to do with jurisdiction. Depending on the type of road it is, federal, state, or local, the money for a speeding ticket fine all or most of it goes into the general fund, not the local county or whatever. They slip those limits in there so they can keep all the money collected.

Obviously.
Symmetrical letters are even, asymmetrical ones are odd. So there are more even capitals, but more odd lowercase letters. B is even but b is odd. C and c are both even. Q and q are both odd.

Keep in mind the whole economic system is based on an infrastructure that died (murdered) a long, long time ago. The factories closed a long time ago. The tax base revenue generation is a fraction of what it was, replaced by illegals, Bingo and Casinos, and Fentanyl/Methamphetamine distribution. Zombies everywhere. But the debt remains. The Pension and Retirement outlays remains.
I remember a guy who lives in New Jersey on a discussion forum, he got a $125 ticket for putting his garbage can out on the wrong night. That’s the kind of chickenshit they are forced to do, when the money dries up.

b is rotationally symmetrical.

Yes, and no. Rotate a b and it becomes a q.
Also, there's only one degree of oddness, but several degrees of evenness. A and B are just even, because you can only mirror them one way. X and H are doubly even. O is infinitely even.

I'm racking my brain trying to remember some theorem about this. Or that an implication of the theorem is about this classification business. There's always some arbitrary choice that has to be made. There is no "obvious" well-defined way to pick things out in equivalence classes, order, etc. You have to make some "judgement" call, which is arbitrary. Something like that.
Some of those choices seem very natural and obvious, and are very useful, but they are all arbitrary. Something like that.

for packing I think it is called "the knapsack problem" where you have n items of varying weight and you have to split them up between knapsacks so each bag weighs the same.

IRL you can sort of estimate it and then fine tune with the smallest items by cut and try, but I never could figure out a mathematical way to resolve it

Say, you have a cylinder, a sphere, a cone, a cube, a three sided pyramid and a wool bobble, I would put the roundish things in one pile and the squarish things in the other, depending on how many piles you designate, but again, this is a sliding scale depending both on perception of the items and how many piles are allowed.
I am quite agnostic about classification because I focus on use, or all the similarities available; furthermore the question here is actually, "how do I develop classes to split these items into two piles" not "what items are of the same classes"
The use to what things can be put are far more important to me than any abstract form things might have. I am more of a Leonardo da Vinci in outlook than Platonic in perceiving the world.

Thing is, if you give me a pile of full boxes of random sized because you got them from the grocery store, and you give me a U-Haul, I can pack that truck as tight as a pair of French jeans on a college swim team chick. But that is not mathematical, that is spatial awareness and inspiration

Oh, no. Pragmatist. The goal is how many piles, not how many divineable aspects.
The trick is what outcome are you looking for, that is the base rule outside of your control, and once you have that, set your procedure to meet those rules.
If you gave me 90 random items and asked me to sort them into classes, i would probably go with what the items actually did: things that roll, things that pierce, things that bolt together, various fasteners, and from there sub groups of metal, wood and plastic. Then by size or inferred value.

Used to make that drive on 287 between D/FW and Amarillo frequently back before the turn of the century. My favorite memory from that trap was the period when they painted their cars to match the caliche clay, so you basically never saw them until you were pretty much zipping by them.

That was me. Titan Farms in Ridge Spring. The geology there left a plateau of perfect clay/sand combo that is perfect for peaches. Also, generally the right rainfall and climate.

Another one from Washington. Coming north on I-5 out of Olympia there's a stand of woods between the North and South lanes. The state patrol would stuff about 20 motorcycle cops into the woods and then place another cop on a conveniently placed overpass to radar cars. When they got a winner the word went out and a cop would rocket out of the woods to chase that car down. If you hit things just right there'd be like 15 people pulled over with another motorcycle blowing by you with his lights on chasing somebody else.

In the 80’s my Dad had one job, bought a house, married my Mum, had two kids; we didn’t struggle. We had same day GP. Ambulances within minutes. Clean rivers and beaches. We even managed the odd holiday. What happened in the UK that’s made my Dad’s ambition now impossible? Why’s it impossible for families to survive on one income, let TF alone buying a house? My kids may never own their own home no matter how hard they work.
FUCK YOU CAPITALISM. We ALL know what the problem is. Politicians are too scared to do anything about it. Greed vs Need.

I’m sick of migrants being blamed for rape increasing in the UK. Do you know what changed? The internet. Young men are not being taught that what they see on the internet isn’t real life. My 15yr old daughter has to put up with dick pics daily. Why should any girl or woman put up with that? Don’t blame people, blame the huge changes in our society… like the fucking internet.
If you care so much about grooming gangs, then why do you deny helping a kid with free school meals. They target vulnerable kids but maybe if all kids had a far shot at life you could save some of these kids, right?

The Administration of President Donald J. Trump, in conjunction with Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., officially declines to comply or participate in the World Health Organization's proposed "pandemic response initiatives."
RFK: “The new regulations employ extremely broad language that gives the WHO unprecedented power," Kennedy said
“That opens the door to the kind of narrative management and propaganda and censorship that we saw during the Covid pandemic.”

Some of you are so dumb. Women who have late term abortions only do so to save the woman’s life and when the baby has no chance of survival. Please don’t make this about pro-life bullshit. Because common sense tells you women don’t choose to have a late term abortion for the sake of it. There’s a thing called adoption for people who find out late and are unable to look after the child. It’s weird because you don’t care about kids going hungry in schools or living in poverty. You only seem to care when the baby is still in the womb. You’re all literal hypocrites
