sardines
Oh, and one can of sardines.
I thought you hated fish.
I’m getting desperate, okay?
About what?
Migraines.
You want to cure your migraines with sardines?
Someone on Reddit said it would help.
Well I say that you’ve gone mad.
You try living with migraines for a week and you’ll go mad too. Look, just, please-
Fine. Don’t expect me to sit next to you while you eat that.
I think it’s in this aisle.
Who puts sardines in the bread aisle?
Cambridge Market, apparently.
I swear to god I’m going to apply for a job here just to reorganize their shelves.
Don’t tell me you’re going to Dewey-decimal a grocery store.
That’s not how Dewey Decimal works.
Don’t tell me that’s not how Dewey Decimal works.
But it isn’t how Dewey Decimal works.
Whatever.
Here they are. King Blue Oyster Sardines.
Thanks.
Three headless corpses drowned in a puddle of sardine water.
As long as it takes care of the migraine.
Next week it’ll be anchovies soaked in kombucha.
Don’t tempt me.
You said one can, not seven.
Hush.
The cashier gave us weird looks.
Desperate times.
There’s no way this actually works.
It’s the fatty acids apparently. Something about omega-three deficiency.
I swear it’s just the placebo effect.
Placebos work thirty percent of the time.
Did you get that from Reddit, too?
I read a study.
Sixty two percent of studies can’t be reproduced.
Did you read that in a study?
No, I got it from Reddit.
Gods help us all.
You're really going to eat all of those tonight?
If the migraine’s still there after two cans, I’m escalating.
To what, a sardine smoothie?
Ah yes, optimization of the delivery mechanism.
I should've known better than to give you ideas.
Maybe I'll top it with some pineapple. Apparently that helps too.
Something only a migraine sufferer would say.
Apparently it has to do with the bromelain enzymes.
Spare me the details.
How do you take the SVD of this?
Look at the eigenvalues of A times A transpose.
Why are they so ugly.
You’re one to say.
Screw you.
We can take a break if you want.
Guh.
How’s your head?
Better.
Wait, seriously?
I don’t know. Maybe. The pain’s down to a three. Do these eigenvectors look right?
From a nine?
Or maybe I’m just distracted by the salt overload.
Either way, you smell like Poseidon's pantry.
Worth it.
You’re lucky I love you.
You’re lucky I can finally look at a lightbulb without screaming.
Uh, yeah, I think they look fine. Now what do you do?
The same thing for A transpose A.
You got this.
I don’t got this. This pset is due in half an hour.
Trust.
Can you pass the sardines?
