Anyone got any good suggestions? I'm assuming that I can keep it by freezing, if I don't want to use all of it right now...

There used to be a *massive* door (like, big enough to drive a cart and horses through) in someone's garden wall about a mile up the road from here.

It wasn't until fairly recently that I discovered that it had been the main door to the town's workhouse (which was elsewhere in the town).

Sadly, it's not there any more -- it was removed when they rebuilt the house into a bunch of flats about a decade or so ago. I have no idea where it went. I fear that it got thrown away.

Can confirm about South Indian food.

There's an excellent South Indian place in town here. I went there with a few friends a couple of months ago. We each got asked "hot or medium?"

Most of my friends had "medium" and struggled a bit.

I went with "hot", and really enjoyed it.

My grandparents spend 20 years in South India, and my dad and two aunts were born there, so we have family tradition and experience of the food from the region.

Those houses are now going for about £750,000. Accounting for inflation, they paid a little over £10,000 in today's money.

_________________________

It's a *system* of linear equations, not just a single one, and it's over the natural numbers not the integers, which complicates things. This is why I've got vectors on both sides of the equation, because I can't guarantee to be able subtract numbers.

There are definitely cases which have no non-trivial solutions:

u_1 = (1, 0), v_1 = (0, 1).

The only solution to this is x_1 = y_1 = 0.

Dear #mathstodon

Working in N^p, I have two sets of vectors, u_1,...,u_n and v_1,...,v_m. I'm looking for linear sets of scalars, x_1,....x_n and y_1,...,y_n where

\sum x_i u_i = \sum y_j v_j.

i.e., Ux = Vy (collapsing to a matrix/vector representation).

There's a trivial solution (x_i=y_j=0), but I'm not entirely sure how to find the non-trivial solutions, given that it's all natural numbers.

Any pointers to keywords I can follow up on? A name for the problem?

I bought a dining table online. After the fourth or fifth "leave a review" email, I mailed their support people to tell them to stop. They did (on the second try).

The first thing that happened after they closed the support ticket? "Tell us how we did!"

I... wasn't all that happy about that. And I let them know it.

Delete it anyway. It's just playing at being a document. :)

It'd be a lot worse if the pushback had to be minimal and/or entirely underground.

I'm sure they are, but it's slow enough that the top manglement aren't going to make the connection.

Or, if they have made the connection, they reckon they can last out long enough to screw another few billion out of the process before moving on to something else just as pointless with another set of suckers to fleece.

Question for anyone out there on fedi with experience:

My mum has increasingly bad ataxia: very wobbly hands and feet. She's got to the point of barely being able to write legibly. Using a mouse is also getting difficult, but she can still use a keyboard at this point.

Are there assistive technologies or techniques that she might be able to use on her Ubuntu machine that would reduce or eliminate the need to use a mouse?

Reminds me of the 1000 tonne bridge that I saw being shuffled into place in one piece a few Christmases ago. Just... bigger.
