Right, but if you look in the field of probabilities, specifically when expanding binomial distributions, you go increasing powers with one and decreasing powers with the other.
ax^4 + bx^3y + cx^2y^2 + dxy^3 + ey^4
That’s why it makes sense to me to read it a^2 + 2ab + b^2
Harry Chapin My child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away And he was talkin’ ‘fore I knew it And as he grew, he’d say “I’m gonna be like you, Dad You know I’m gonna be like you”
And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you comin’ home, Dad?" “I don’t know when But we’ll get together then You know we’ll have a good time then”
My son turned ten just the other day He said, “Thanks for the ball, Dad, c’mon let’s play Can you teach me to throw?” I said, “Not today I got a lot to do”, he said, “That’s okay” And he, he walked away but his smile Never dimmed and said “I’m gonna be like him, yeah You know I’m gonna be like him”
And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you comin’ home, Dad? “I don’t know when But we’ll get together then You know we’ll have a good time then”
Well, he came from college just the other day So much like a man, I just had to say “Son, I’m proud of you, can you sit for a while?” He shook his head, and he said with a smile “What I’d really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys” “See you later, can I have them please?”
And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon “When you comin’ home, son?” “I don’t know when But we’ll get together then, Dad You know we’ll have a good time then”
I’ve long since retired, my son’s moved away I called him up just the other day I said, “I’d like to see you if you don’t mind” He said, “I’d love to, Dad, if I could find the time” “You see, my new job’s a hassle and the kid’s got the flu” “But it’s sure nice talkin’ to you, Dad It’s been sure nice talkin’ to you”
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me He’d grown up just like me My boy was just like me
And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you comin’ home, son? “I don’t know when But we’ll get together then, Dad We’re gonna have a good time then”

For me it’s an overwhelming nostalgia bomb which definitely can feel melancholy, as I had a good childhood, and I guess am pining for those good times.
Some think it’s a song alluding to unrequited love. So that is maybe why we get to feel a little down when we hear it. We’re missing something. Maybe the person who sang it to us, the nostalgia for childhood, or maybe we just get the idea that the lyrics sound just as pleading as they are declarative.
Hello Grandmother. It is, me, your other grandson. I have heard that you have an abundance of cake and are delivering it to your grandchildren but I have not heard from you. Have you forgotten my phone number?
My cat anticipates where I’m going and stands in the way or walks slowly. He seems to think if I trip on him then he deserves extra food or treats as compensation. It’s cat insurance fraud and it’s ruining the economy.
None of my cats follow me from room to room but they all do follow me when I’m outside it’s honestly pretty nice until they start hanging out exactly where I’m throwing firewood honestly thank goodness they fear chainsaws and me telling them to move it
A warning. Those who speak too deeply and become engrossed in conversations too long will fall prey to the machinations of dimensional altering creatures. Beware the conversationalist, for they are an agent of gibbering star madness.
Me, massaging my temples with my eyes shut tight: Buddy… Buddy… We just went over this… You have a ball on the other side of the room. You just need to bring it over here and I’ll toss with you.
For the naysayers; I used to do this as a kid, because there were 6 people (minimum) to say goodnight to, and I was told it was impolite to miss "anyone." And I'm someone, too.
I'm in my late 30s and every once in a while I'll say goodnight to whoever is in my room (even if it's just my cat) and then goodnight to me.
I say goodnight to my cat every night. She was feral when I kidnapped adopted her and she still has some of those tendencies. One is not sleeping in my bed. If I sleep on the couch, she’ll sleep next to me. If I’m in my bed she’ll occasionally jump up to check on me. But she doesn’t sleep with me as a rule.
So every night before I turn out the lights I tell her it’s bed time and say goodnight.
Found my little gremlin in a bush outside a store when she was a kitten. Poor thing had part of her ear missing. From a recent attack/fight of some kind. She’s been with me for 5 years now.
No it wasn’t at all. The cat was attacked, was very obvious bcz it was like part of her ear was ripped off, and it was a female cat that still had her lady parts, which we later spayed.
The amount of people that get personally attached to their roombas is quite considerable. Assigning them names and personalities is common. Generally the helpless little goofball that gets stuck on things periodically personality is endearing.
You are looking at it the wrong way. The vacuum cleaners have the same personality as you. You are original and they just want to imitate.
Besides, your manufacture date is long before theirs. Any patents on your personality are probably expired by this point. Welcome to the public domain, friend!
iRobot had to change their repair workflow because their original plan was to minimize turnaround by having a pool of refurbished roombas, so they could send working ones out of the pool while repairing incoming ones.
Customers were like “wtf I want MY roomba” and were willing to eat long delays.
