Henri Poincare was the first to understand the terrible thing Weierstrass had done. He called it "an outrage against common sense.”
Somehow, Weierstrass had stitched together a pathological function made out of pointed teeth and sharp corners, and brought it to life.
"Weierstrass's Monster," as Poincare called it, is a function that is [lightning flashes outside the window] everywhere continuous but nowhere differentiable [huge crash of thunder].
Old web aficionados, do I have a website for you:
http://logiclrd.cx/
This one from Logic Lord (copyright 1997) has all the hallmarks of the old web but the important thing is this astounding paragraph on the front page:
"This homepage used to be hosted on my own WWW server called mIRC-WWW. The server is programmed entirely in mIRC code, supports binary files, and partially supports CGIs. A screenshot is available here. The script makes use of the advanced features of mIRC v5.8, which adds, starting with version 5.3, over the previous version with picture windows, custom sockets, millisecond timers, and much more. Version 5.5 also adds support for user dialogs, so now you can create forms like you can with Visual Basic or VC++'s resource editor."
A whole-ass web server written in an #IRC client. There's even a screenshot of it in action. Just incredible stuff. I'm so glad this is still online.

If you drag an emoji family with a string size of 11 into an input with maxlength=10, one of the children will disappear.
despair, minor drugs mention
Had to cry so much today that it feels like we're hollowed out now @.@ relieved that job search is over but now the despair of "oh yeah, we have to work for a good chunk of our lives still" after feeling something like free for a few weeks is setting in and it sucks
actually taking our amphetamine tomorrow will probably help, but still =.=;
stim cube was like this today:
five dots: build up intensity of stim, clicky clicky good feels
turny gears: lots of intense sensation, made us spin around a lot and a lot like we were getting wound up on a string, lots of !!!! and wavy and sparkly!!
push-button: aftercare after climax of other stims, helps come back down all nice and gently so we don't crash <333
Yeah it was very good today!! 💜
We're so pleased that you could make it. May your stay with us, however brief, be pleasant. Pan|Poly|Plural|Trans|Enby|Left Sometimes we create things
