There's an "A in analysis" joke there somewhere...

Maybe the Analysis exam is not compact so there may not be a max? Or maybe his real name is Max.

The real questions are far more basic: Is it discrete? Which degree of separation does the exam have? Is there a closure to Analysis?

Wow, that sounds mysterious. Any issues with Jojo in Tucson Arizona?

You mean beside AZ?

Any California grass?

Just take a stop in CO for some weed!

I am in Spring Autowire hell. Wiring components is one thing, wiring every possible variable in the system is ridiculous. Why is it that the people who create junk like this never stick around to care and feed the maintainence headache that they've created?

'Spring' is the German imperative for 'Jump!' - lol

Avocados are finally back in season. Or something. They're 3 for a dollar, which is what I consider the acceptable price.

They're actually always available, but for reasons unknown to me, there are months where they cost a dollar each.

I really miss New England sometimes because apples are so plentiful there, in the fall, anyway, you can get lots for cheap (I'm talking 'as-if-they-grew-on-trees' cheap).

A propos New England. The avocado price will likely increase until Feb. 7th. They will be probably very cheap again on the 8th.

Another obscure reference. Are you a fan of Dennis Miller? How about avocados in AZ?

Pat myself in the back for getting my SQL queries done 95% cirrectly, going across town to look for a place that has working SQL software.

Almost! It's molecular dynamics.

I see, avocado day. Some 20+ people play while around 80 million people gorge themselves -- my kind of party.

Had a few Krispy Cremes today. I thought the company had gone out of business. The glazed ones are excellent, way better to me than anything from Dunkin.

Mangoes are delicious but at $5 a pop, who can even justify buying them?

 

[zoobyshoe]

Nope. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/31/avocado-consumption-super-bowl_n_2593831.html .

I guess that pretty much explains why they've gone up in price around here, in general. They're getting exported more and more to the rest of the country. Used to be you could find them in some markets here @6 for a dollar, but I haven't seen that in a long time.

I'm not a fan of the mango. Nor do I like the pomegranate. I also have little use for the lime.

Does anyone know of a 'flexible' semi-conductor?

So you're a total loss at the cocktail and long drink front.

Whaaat so cheap? Here they are about 2 dollars for one piece usually, now about a dollar when it's their season.

Wow, and then they had the issue with Fogle, who was their spokesman. What a great reputation they are creating for themselves.

Vaguely -related, it seems they are developing (technologically) flexible fabric for shirts whose composition will change to adapt to the weather conditions and to those of the person wearing them. This is why I consider actual science more interesting than science fiction. EDIT: Imagine what else could be done: maybe a shirt with (bendable) microchips could also analyze the person's chemistry and figure out which chemicals a person is short in, lacking in, etc. Pretty insane.

Total loss. Absolutely.

They grow here in Southern California. This is avocado country.

You mean next time you go into a supermarket your sweater will force you to purchase celery, carrots and mangoes and hinder you from buying PB?

I was thinking more of a straight jacket , but that one is good too.
