Re: [Continue The Story]

There's only one more Rolling Rock in the fridge. You crack it and take a swig. The Biden has by now crawled out of the bowling bag onto the counter, leaving a thin trail of pinkish slime on the tile as it approaches your meager fruit bowl. It reaches out tentatively toward a banana, "Heysonny ...

Re: Math thread

It looks like a lot of the usual transmission matrices are projectors onto some basis element (either linear or circular polarization) which means that they should commute since each unique projector is in the null space of each other one. So if the reflection matrices are similar you could have a ...
