I wasn't allowed to post my latest quantum computing joke. Was told it violated the no-clowning theorem

So I had to call the global help desk, be on hold, ask to be called back, get a human person’s advice, call again on another medium that allows screen sharing, and now have the request partially saved waiting for more input. (The advisor had to look up manuals too…) #perennialbureaucracy 🤷🏽‍♀️

Umm tell me what the difference is again: “Recruitment reports”, “Recruitment reports for Recruitment reports”, “Recruiting”, “Recruiting jobs” … #bureaucracy

Sorry for all the questions. I’m looking for the PDE’s independent variables (presumably 3 spatial variables) in which the oscillation is occurring. And whether that’s in some metric or ?

From #Reddit 😁 #mathsky #mathematics
An icon of the poster RepulsiveMousse3992 within the subreddit r/math followed by the text “When do you guys think the Millenium Prize will adjust for inflation? 1 million isn't that much money anymore. It is strange if they don't adjust it and allow their prize to become irrelevant just because of inflation.”
