<kmath> <CurlOfGradient> Have you tried removing the offending terms from the Lagrangian?
<egg> bofh: you could call the polynomials of the second kind Ҷ, and the rational functions Ӌ :D
<egg> tbh Ҹ and Ꚓ would probably work and be more readable

<Ellied> oh ffs, scp fails if a filename contains a colon
<Ellied> not even escaping it or encapsulating it in quotes works, it just insists on interpreting it as an address and path, which fails.
<SnoopJeDi> No way to escap--ah.
<Ellied> I suppose it could be zsh's fault somehow
<Ellied> nope, does it in bash too
<Iskierka> start with local address to make it absolute?

<Greys> don't snakes typically do that when they're cold?
APlayer has quit [Ping timeout: 204 seconds]
<TheKosmonaut> depends on the snake. The above posture is a good passive position to observe potential food, but it is also a position that can subtly, and also abruptly, change to a striking position. But I don’t know what kind of snake that is
<TheKosmonaut> I am not a herpetologist

<Iskierka> that may implicitly say keeping warm as warm = high metabolism = can strike more easily and effectively

<SnoopJeDi> I think there's also a Space Brothers anime? But I've not seen it.
