       I'm waiting for my employer to finish enrolling me for health insurance; does anyone know whether I can get the new covid booster before I get my card? do I just say I'm uninsured?

       @futurebird “Logicomix” is a graphic novel biography of Bertrand Russell (but it’s not exactly new)

       @futurebird you’re playing Set, right? sets are equivalent to lines in affine 4-space over \(\mathbb{F}_3\)I think last time I thought about generalizations, I concluded that adding more attributes would preserve this formalism but trying to increase the number of values of each attribute (like, 5 colors instead of 3) wouldn’t. but I don’t remember why I thought that, sorry!

       @futurebird no, this is a great thing to be uncomfortable about! it’s actually a real theorem that a closed curved divides the plane into two regions (Jordan closed curve theorem)

       @futurebird in London, the way sti testing works is they mail you a kit of swaps (and lancets and vials for blood), you do your swabs and draw your own blood, and you drop the whole kit in the mail. you don’t even need ice packs! but I think a lot of people don’t actually manage to do the blood draw, and that’s just a small vial you get from a finger, not the quantities you get from an elbow blood draw

       @futurebird not too far from “am bue lance” but more like “amb-yuh-lence”
