Kool-Aid is, I'm sure, meant to be addictive.

I drink loads of squash, like this. I see it in few foreign countries, your slightly flavoured sugar and citric acid is closer to it than you can get in most countries, and it is very honest about what it is.
All your opinions about sugary drinks demonstrate the you have all "drunk the Kool-Aid." 
"Drunk the Kool-Aid" has a political connotation now, or possibly a psychological connotation. As in "Drink the _______ (insert name of political party you hate) Kool-Aid".All your opinions about sugary drinks demonstrate the you have all "drunk the Kool-Aid."
Here is the antidote to such poison.
A righteous moment.
It would be great if someone could suggest a decent, free screensaver (for video...). Because above you can see the pitiful result I got with the rather inelastic chrome vmaker (which I already deleted, along with chrome)
Among other things, like losing of detail and quality (in Blender the lines are sharp and straight), the rightmost part of the screen got eaten up so you can't read the edge of some formulae (it's 2DAAC, not 2DAA).The video is part of my attempt to present, with gfx, Euclid's Propositions 12-13 and their ties to slope vs perpendicular.
The first part of the video (about the obtuse angle) is ok-ish, but the case of the acute angle already had me be lazy (after 120 frames in Blender...). Hopefully you can still tell what is happening
@Samson ,@Ferocitus , @red_elk
Even with a good screen-recorder, some frames will need to be reworked, since they are way too fancy (or rather funky, and not in a good way) at the moment. But vmaker doesn't allow you to change speed, which didn't help.

How come Santa doesn’t have a windshield? Bugs, wind. Can’t those elves do something about it?

Skimming the posts above about "drinking the Kool-Aid", I was thinking again that I have no idea what's common knowledge these days and what isn't. I just assume people know what "so-and-so drank the Kool-Aid" is a reference to, but maybe that's only true for people over a certain age. If I asked my boss' teenagers where the phrase comes from, I wonder if they'd have to Google it.
Hmmm...I wonder how many folks know what a "pin up" girl is.

That's an Instagram thing, right?

It's weird that I'm now closer to 40 than to 30, but am still growing up. I just ate my first nectarine.
(I'm sure I've eaten stuff with nectarine in it before, but never just like this)

If time travel really is unidirectional, then you stopped being closer to 30 than to 40 at 00:00:01 on your birthday.

Time flies when you’re having fun but I don’t have a fun time when I’m flying.
I am working on the slowest build-up presentation of derivatives, integrals and (ultimately) the natural logarithm.
It starts so slowly that at first it's not even about area below a curve
At least the ladder-like formation there has the nice property that (regardless of slope; here it is a diagonal of a square) each vertical line is analogous to measure to the number of the step in its progression.
The circle in the pic has a radius of 0.5.

Have you tried being a pilot?
What did you think of it?
I had my first nectarine in the summer of 1973, in Hedley, BC. It was okay... not like peaches or apricots, but okay.
