My favorite two lines in this. The first uses dot products to find the component of v in the direction of a, the second simply reuses the first, but uses the perpendicular of a instead. It was one of those "I wonder if this will work right" things, and it totally did. Thanks #Desmos.
Screenshot of Desmos equations. The first on assigns v_x to function Vec of a dot v over a dot a times a, plus O. The second assigns v_y to v_x with a=p of a.

Paired images: I was having trouble drawing a leaping dog for this diagram, so I improvised.
A diagram for a projectile motion problem based on dock jumping competitions. The place where a dog would be drawn is holding a phone displaying a stretched out dog. A horribly cute brindle American bulldog lying on the floor in a sploot pose, intently focused on something in front of her.

Didn't mean to terrify you. The ice is great, though.

An Old Fashioned cocktail on a  lavender colored table with a messy background. Notable in the cocktail is a spherical ice ball and a cobalt blue borosilicate cocktail straw. The ice ball is mostly clear, but has acquired a bit of cloudiness on one side due to sublimation from being stored in a freezer.

Having salad for lunch(shout out to Perry's Joint):
A lettuce wrapped sandwich, in white butcher paper on a wood table, cut in half. Inside the sandwich is layered, top to bottom,  sliced turkey, avocado, thin sliced onion, cheese, roast beef and mayo and French mustard. All of the portions are substantial, and the sandwich looks as if it would easily make two meals

My spouse has been away and out of contact for the past week. Normally, the dog goes to work with them, and Peanut seems to be upset that she's not getting her car rides. So now I'm sitting in the back of the car with her pretending that we're going somewhere.

The two above mentioned knives, along with a custom Danish friction folder. I have others, but these are the ones I like that I can also carry to school.
Three closed folding knives on a light colored wood table. The top one is a nice rosewood friction folder, the middle is the ANV Neo, which has bullet shaped black nylon scales, and the rectangular looking titanium Quiet Carry West. Three folding knives, open, on a light wood grain background. The top one is a custom Danish friction folder with rosewood handles and a leaf shaped blade, the ANV Neo has a symmetric black drop point blade that compliments the liner of the handle, and the Quiet Carry West has a rather point straight back blade with a strong hollow getting that makes it easy to open by pinching instead of having to use the thumb Nick.

My favorite pen is the Waterman Carene in marine amber. It draws its lines from speed boats, for a double aquatic reference.
Uncapped Waterman Carene in marine amber in front of a bottle of Iroshizuko Tsuki Yo ink. The pen has a smooth integral nib that neatly aligns with the body and mimics the prow of a speedboat, while the end of the barrel evokes a slant back stern. The coating of the body is a reddish brown that appears to have translucent and shimmering depth.

My version of the god triangle, and the desmos link I used to make it: www.desmos.com/calculator/6...
The "god triangle", a right triangle with angle theta marked, and three groups of two curved arrows showing which trig function relates two of the sides, and whether the "from" side of the arrow should be multiplied or divided by that function to find the value of the "to" side.

My version of this looks like:

I love this inequality. It's the basis of the engineering approximation that 3 dB is a factor of 2 (or one half).
A progression of inequalities, starting with log base 10 of 2 greater than 0.3.

Both sides are multiplied by 10. By log rules for multiplication, the left side becomes log base 10 of 2 to the tenth power, while the right side becomes simply three.

The log is resolved by raising 10 to both sides. On the left, the log disappears, leaving only 2 to the tenth. The right side becomes 10 to the third power.

Simplifying the exponents results in 1024 greater than 1000, which is true, so the original inequality is also true.

Just called my congressperson, at their district office number. I got a real person on the line. Here's the script that I wrote for myself to read to them.
My name is [redacted] and I am one of your constituents.

I believe we are facing a constitutional crisis. There are unelected people shutting down some parts of government, and looting others. I see federal officials engaging in horrific  actions that are not sanctioned by the proper process of government.

When you took office, you took an oath to defend the constitution.

Under the first article of the constitution, you are the person qualified to do so.

I do not need a poll on whether you should defend the constitution. I do not need to sign up for your fundraising list.

I need you and your fellow democrats to fuck civility and do your goddam job.
