So just to clarify, the Russian Federation is not as big as the Old Soviet Union, but it still by far the largest country in the world.
Turns out that China, United States, and Canada are not that much different in size.
Now this is the United States including Alaska, which is huge.
If you go by total area the ranking is:
1. Russian Federation
2. Canada
3. United States
4. China
But this is because of the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay.
If you go by just land, the the ranking is
1. Russian Federation
2. China
3. United States
4. Canada

Countries of the largest Area:
Now this disagreement started with a guy from Canada who insisted that Canada was larger than the United States. I told him that he was wrong, and that it just looks larger because of the Mercator Map projection. He did not agree.
As I learned in school the largest countries by area were:
1. Soviet Union
2. China
3. United States
4. Canada
Now the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, and even then it was losing the 3 Baltic States.
Okay so I look this up on Wikipedia and I find:
Soviet Union (ended 1991) 8,649,500 sqmi
Russian Federation 6,601,670 sqmi
China 3,705,407 sqmi
United States, including Alaska 3,796,742 sqmi
Alaska 663,268 sqmi
Canada 3,855,100 sqmi
But the above numbers are total area. If you include only land, then the United States is smaller than China. The United States includes much of the 5 Great Lakes, and that makes the difference.
And if you include only land, the the United States is larger than Canada. Canada has some of the Great Lakes, but it also has that huge Hudson Bay.

san_jose_guymoney was invented for handing to women, but buying dances is a chump's game
The history of the calculus and its conceptual development : (The concepts of the calculus) / with a foreword by Richard Courant
Concepts of the calculus.
Boyer, Carl B. (Carl Benjamin), 1906-1976.
Books & Journals | Dover | [1959]
So he talks about the paradoxes of Zeno. Like say in a time interval, you move half of the distance between yourself and a fixed point. And then in the next interval, half of what remained, etc.
When do you finally get to the point?
This had come up in a conversation with someone who was ticketed for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. How slow is slow enough to be stopped?
But Boyer speaks of another Zeno formulation. Say Achilles runs a race with a tortoise and Achilles runs twice as fast as the tortoise, and so we give the tortoise a lead.
So when does Achilles catch up with the tortoise?
Well for the ancients they were not really accustomed to finding limits for infinite series. It gets too confusing.
For me, I would set it up as an algebra problem
Say Achilles runs at velocity Va.
The lead given the tortoise is Lt.
So the time when Achilles catches up with the tortoise will be Tc. And the distance Achilles has run will be Da.
Da = Tc * Va
Da = Lt + Tc * Va /2
So then we can eliminate Da:
Tc * Va = Lt + Tc * Va /2
So then:
Tc * Va - Tc * Va/2 = Lt
Tc * (Va -Va/2) =
Tc * Va/2 = Lt
So say the velocity of Achilles is 10 ft/sec, then the velocity of the Tortoise is 5 ft /sec.
So say the lead we gave the Tortoise was 100 ft.
So Tc = 2 * Lt / Va
So Tc = 2 * 100 / 10 = 20 seconds.
So Achilles will have run 200 ft
The Tortoise will have run 100 ft and then be 200 feet from the starting line.
Now this kind of approach does not get into convergence of infinite series or into calculus. It just uses algebra. But I guess it is a way of using algebra that has developed in a world where our understanding of time and motion has been shaped by calculus. And I have learned from years in school, having to do homework problems with word problems like this, and also by regularly solving similar kinds of problems on my own. You cut through the confusion by defining variables and laying out the relations.
Now Calculus is about infinitesimals. And I guess this is what has changed in thinking. And people learn math in school and from books today, and it is set up to facilitate Calculus.
So I would introduce here, Meditaitons and the Tarot and its Unknown Author, who says that Calculus with its concepts and notation, is a part of Hermeticism.
https://www.amazon.com/Meditations-Tarot-Journey-Christian-Hermeticism/dp/1585421618
I've always felt this about Calculus. But now reading this Carl Boyer and seeing how it developed, now I can much better appreciate that.
Newton and Leibniz certainly held occult views, they just wrote about them other places. And Boyer shows that originally Calculus was not well received and it took the work of a lot of other people going into the 18th century to more rigorously develop it.
And then one name that comes up is Hoene Wroński going into the 19th century. He was a Polish mathematician in exile in Paris. And it was he who is believed to have initiated the occultist Eliphas Levi. And Wroński is the originator of the dark gnosis practiced by Fraternitas Saturni.
Wroński took some exception to the work of Lagrange.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B3zef_Maria_Hoene-Wro%C5%84ski#:~:text=J%C3%B3zef%20Maria%20Ho%C3%ABn%C3%A9%2DWro%C5%84ski%20(Polish,%2C%20lawyer%2C%20occultist%20and%20economist.
I read all of this and consider. I am not really one to challenge the theoretical basis of calculus.
Rather I am more interested in how to apply it. And how much math you can use in a situation now depends on how you are using computers to implement it. The application of computers make it possible to use vastly more math.

Tc * Va/2 = Lt

I don't feel a need to judge all of these cases and I would not try to do so on the basis of newspaper accounts. The Grand Jury testimony is sealed. But you can probably get the police report.
Often if someone has died, the DA will not feel that they can just decline to prosecute. So they will send it to the Grand Jury. As is always said though, "The Grand Jury would indict a ham sandwich." Prosecutors usually have these grand juries right in their pockets.
If the prosecutor does not want an indictment they usually have ways they can communicate this to the Grand Jury. So if the DA does not want an indictment I am not going to second guess them. That is their responsibility. If you wanted more info, the next step could be the case file and police report.
Usually someone who acts in the immediate self defense of themselves or another, they are not called a vigilante. Like in that Greenwood Indiana shopping mall shooting Police are calling the armed civilian a Good Samaritan.

The Nazi's would call people who were not really on their side, Communists, Bolsheviks, Homosexuals and Jews.
Right wing morons in this country and on this board have been doing the same thing for a long time, usually calling them Liberals.
That seems to go back to the 1988 Republican National Convention when Pat Robertson said that Michael Dukakis is a "L-I-B-E-R-A-L" and a "Card Carrying Member of the A-C-L-U".
This means the same as what the Nazi's meant.

Because that is a newspaper. The proper procedure is a grand jury, then if they indict, a jury trial.
I don't have any need to classify or judge these cases myself. I'm just saying that if you feel you have to know, then the police report in the case file is the next step.
Situations where I felt that I had to know myself, I have attended jury trials and listened to the witnesses under direct and cross examination.

Usually in a criminal case you can see the original case filing, and this will include the police report.
But you still cannot judge right or wrong just based on this because it has not been subject to cross examination.
Usually a vigilante is someone who hunts down supposed criminals, trying to do the job of police, not just someone who acts in the immediate defense of themselves or others.

R. D. Laing completed his psychiatry training and then was placed in charge of an asylum, the women’s section.
He treated them just by talking to them like he would anyone else, and by taking them all outside. He treated them with fresh air and sunlight.
Soon he felt that they were all well. Maybe not completely well, be well enough to go home.
But then within 6 months they were all back again.
So to Laing it seemed that this status of being ~mentally ill~ was being generated within The Family.
So he and Aaron Esterson set about to study this. The narratives, all true, and quite compelling.

Probably true, if put that way. But that does not really mean that it is these experts who caused this or that anyone should be fired. It is mainly who the people elected. And since 1980 we have been moving further and further to the lunatic right and this is the problem.
