Consider: if Kamala ended up on the files, would any liberals vote for Trump?
But, for a random wealthy donor it’d be rather inconvenient to be in the files and they’ll pay for not being included in the releases.
And: a sponsor? Think: most sponsors, and the establishment politicians.
Personally, I found great enjoyment in coming up with more and more involved plots in the Polar and Parametric modes, where yes I would predict what a graph would look like and then go over to see it. And then go back and iterate. Etc. Until I was painting pictures with functions and had a far greater understanding of the domain than I’d wager anyone who thinks graphing calculations are for finding roots of polynomials could imagine.
I don’t think that really fits with the metaphor but I wanted to say my piece regardless.
There’s no other place on earth I can invite 100,000 people to disagree with me. Exception is maybe a public office. (Which the vast majority of people shy away from, for just this reason)
I was searching for a Wireshark type plugin to do this but I couldn’t find anything.
Alternatively, equally useful would be learning about anyone who has started to do something like this and then realized that it didn’t actually help them analyze anything.
Consider: if the tone of your writing will put off anyone who disagrees with you, what’s the value in “livening it up”? Again, it’s preaching to the choir.
For backpacks, my Waterfield pack has held up fantastically across several years of regularly absolutely stuffing it with gear for my work travel.
