I was trying to think of one. Lech Walesa came to mind, but it's doubtful. There was a Romanian president maybe 20 years ago that was a merchant ship officer, who often get f/l qualified (I did), but iirc, he flamed out.

In (d/dx)f(x), d/dx is a symbol that means the derivative of f with respect to x. It's not a division of two variables. But, the reason the symbol is useful is that you sort of can multiply the dx in some situations.

It's like they're swift-boating her.

The term swiftboating (also swift-boating or swift boating) is a pejorative American neologism used to describe an unfair or untrue political attack. The term is derived from the name of the organization "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" (SBVT, later the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth) because of their widely publicized—and later discredited—political smear campaign[1][2][3][4][5] against 2004 U.S. presidential candidate John Kerry.[6][1][7][8] Since the 2004 election, the term has come to commonly refer to a political attack that is dishonest, personal, and unfair.[9][10]

And position dumbasses as role models... the willfully ignorant and screechingly loud kind.

The first time I ever saw a reference to "Chik-fil-a" was on a resume, and I it made me wonder if the applicant was mentally competent.

I hear that Suzie Dent has been looking into this.

New research found that variants of COVID-19 can affect the brain in different ways and that the blood-brain barrier can be impacted. Scientists exposed brain cells to multiple strains of SARS-CoV-2, including the original wild-type virus, alpha, beta, delta, eta and omicron.

They discovered that while all variants caused stress to brain cells, exactly which cells were affected depended on the variant. This research could lay the groundwork for future investigations into the impact of the virus on the brain and whether vaccination can protect against these effects.
