I.e. day 1209 of not doing anything useful or being a poet. Are you a poet?

Not me. I went years without until last week I realised I needed them for a script that points an object at a target in Maya. Turns out trig is really fucking universal.

He's known for a different meme, but he's used in this one and manages to look like he's posing at gunpoint after being told "look casual and not afraid. Now, smile."

In HS trig class I asked the teacher what was the actual logic behind the tan function, and she said "well it's just programmed into your calculator" and I said I realized that but how did it work, she told me to go ask the AP calc teacher.
