3·2 months agoIs… that a reference to Frankie and Johnny’s???
Um… Hello, fellow person who grew up in or around New Orleans in the 1990s. How are things? Where did you wind up after Katrina? I have no idea how to handle someone just randomly referencing commercials I had completely forgotten about.

That’s a deep cut reference. 👏
My brother is a crank because ChatGPT enables him.
I have a framework. I’m not aware of any others though. But I do remember that physical wifi switches were common on HPs back about 15-20 years ago.
Get a laptop with hardware switches for the camera and microphone, tbh

Oh! My bad! I completely missed that the functions were continuous (it isn’t required for 🍊 to be a metric)
Careful ⚠️ there is not guaranteed to be an element such that |🍎(x) - 🍇(x)| is maximized. Consider 🍎 (x) = x if x < 3, 0 otherwise. Let 🍇 (x) = 0, and let the domain be [0, 4]. Clearly, the sup(|🍎 (x) - 🍇 (x)| : x ∈ [0, 4]) = 3, but there is no concrete value of x that will return this result. If you wish to demonstrate this in this manner, you will need to introduce an 🐘 > 0 and do some pedantic limit work.
Anyway, to prove this is a metric we must prove that it satisfies the 4 laws of metrics.
1. The distance from a point to itself is zero. 🍊 (🍎, 🍎) = 0
This can be accomplished by simply observing that |🍎 (x) - 🍎 (x)| = 0 ∀x ∈ [a,b], so its sup = 0.
2. The distance between any two distinct points is non-negative.
If 🍎 ≠ 🍌, then ∃x ∈ [a,b] such that 🍎 (x) ≠ 🍌 (x). Thus for this point |🍎 (x) - 🍌 (x)| > 0 and the sup > 0.
3. 🍊 (🍎, 🍌) = 🍊 (🍌, 🍎) ∀(🍎, 🍌) in our space of functions.
Again, we must simply apply the definition of 🍊 observing that ∀x ∈ [a,b] |🍎 (x) - 🍌 (x)| = |🍌 (x) - 🍎 (x)|, and the sup of two equal sets is equal.
4. Triangle inequality, for any triple of functions (🍎, 🍌, 🍇), 🍊 (🍎, 🍌) + 🍊 (🍌, 🍇) ≥ 🍊 (🍎, 🍇)
For any (🐁, 🐈, 🐕) ∈ ℝ³ it is well known that |🐁 - 🐕| ≤ |🐁 - 🐈| + |🐈 - 🐕|, (triangle inequality of absolute values).
Further, for any two functions 🍍, 🍑 we have sup({🍍 (x) : x ∈ [a, b]}) + sup({🍑 (x) : x ∈ [a, b]}) ≥ sup({🍍 (x) + 🍑 (x) : x ∈ [a, b]})
Letting 🍍 (x) = |🍎 (x) - 🍌 (x)|, and 🍑 (x) = |🍌 (x) - 🍇 (x)|, we have the following chain of implications:
🍊 (🍎, 🍌) + 🍊 (🍌, 🍇) = sup(🍍 (x) : x ∈ [a, b]}) + sup({🍑 (x) : x ∈ [a, b]}) ≥ sup({🍍 (x) + 🍑 (x) : x ∈ [a, b]}) ≥ sup({) = 🍊 (🍎, 🍇)
Taking the far left and far right side of this chain we have our triangles inequality that we seek.
Because 🍊 satisfies all four requirements it is a metric. QED.
QED stands for 👸⚡💎, naturally
What happened to 🍇 and 🍍?
Anakin brought balance to the force by slaughtering all of the Jedi.
Before, thousands of Jedi, like 4(?) sith.
After, 2 Jedi, 2 sith. Perfectly balanced.
Says the guy insinuating context to justify this attack, and accusing the woman attacked of lying, despite the fact that she was fired for not reporting the attack to a manager quickly enough?
At this point, you’re just embarrassing yourself. Lemmy is still too small for everyone here not to see through this weak ass bait.
Are you asserting that she is lying about being accosted by a man for entering the women’s bathroom?
Because if you aren’t, then I would be very interested to hear what “more that happened” could possibly justify his actions.

Having played all of the 2d Metroids, Super Metroid still holds up very well, even compared to the newer games. There’s less direction than what you might be used to though. Newer entries in the series tend to try to funnel you places. But if you are simply concerned about the gameplay being clunky, don’t be.
Super Metroid way ahead of its time, and the controls are extremely responsive and tight. It’s one of the reasons it’s such a popular speed game. It’s just fun to play. While basic controls are serviceable, there are many tricks you find yourself learning about as you play the game, which you just have access to, that give the movement system quite a bit of depth. (For hints, let the attract move run at the beginning of the game.)
It turns out, that for the values we are talking about here, it actually more or less does! A lemon has a pH of around 2.5, while “Flow” has an advertised pH of 8.1. This means roughly that to neutralize 1L of this water you need approximately 0.4mL of lemon juice or about 8 drops/half a gram. It’s hard to tell how much a “spritz” is intended to be, but a single lemon contains about 60mL of juice, so this represents about 0.67% of the total juice inside.
It’s a surprising consequence of using a logarithmic scale for pH.
