  • Logarithms answer the question: “How many times do you have to multiply a base number (the number below the log) with itself to get the number within the brackets?”. Usually just saying log means log10, since we use the ten numerals 0 to 9 in our everyday lives.

    So log10 (1000) equals 3 because you have to multiply 10 by 10 by 10 to get 1000, that’s three tens.

    log2 (256) equals 8 because when you start at 1 and double it 8 times, it becomes 256.

    ln is the natural logarithm, equal to loge or log2.718…. It works the same as the rest, but it’s useful since e is used in some math equations representing some real world scenarios.













  • Canada’s west coast is the same. Despite some reports implying the contrary, properly sorted flexible plastic waste does get diverted away from landfills and oceans and remade into product, in BC. And we also have bottle and can deposits, like most Canadian provinces (called consigne/consignment in Québec).

    Apparently bottle deposits are only a thing in 10 of 50 US states.


  • I consider trust a network, where you are the root CA (certificate authority) or like a tree where you are the trunk, with a locus of control. You have to figure out where your ground truth comes from and re-establish if it if you can’t locate it, whether it’s your upbringing, your life experiences, your family, the books you’ve read or the shows you’ve watched, where you’ve been or the friends you have/had.

    Everybody sees the world at least a little bit differently, so you have to kinda figure out where they get their beliefs from and try to connect on the common points while also respectfully figuring out where and why there are differences.

    So as just a random internet person I can only recommend two things:

    • Ignore most stuff coming from influencers and people that change their principles willy-nilly to suit themselves or chase every fad, there’s very little for you to gain from that.
    • If you get stressed or panicked thinking about the chaos of the whole world, slow down, step back, remember the locus of control, think about the things you want to change, can change and can’t change and take the first step of action from amongst the things you have direct control over, and worry less about trying to do anything more than your best to make the situation better.
