Got nerd sniped again...lol. Not a horrible problem and there's two ways to solve it.

Given "3 sine theta plus 4 cosine theta equals 5", solve for the tangent of theta.

Seen a few of those band T-shirts around where they have the surnames of the band members on them and nothing else. They’ve had me trying to think of some supremely nerdy alternatives to get printed.
I’ve come up with two so far:
Różycki
Zygalski
Rejewski
&
Penney
Cockroft
Hinton
Care to suggest any more?

Scored a 65W USB-C "Hama" charging block for €5 (down from €20) at "expert" #Germany. 🤓
I don't know about the brand, but the charger works fine with my devices. Crazy though the company website wants €60 for it. 🙄

Last nerd snipe of the week which got me browsing through my YouTube feed:
Find all primes `p` such that `p^2 2` is also prime.

An image that says: "Find all primes `p` such that `p^2 + 2` is also prime."

I have a lot of cool pictures to share from hikes and such, but first I have some stylesheets with cascading speculations to fight, I mean write. 😟

Another nerd snipe for today: solve the definite integral from 0 to pi for the sine of 2x times the cosine of x dx. This one took a minute for me, but got the answer two different ways. Still a nice way to exercise integration techniques and trig identities.

Promises are a JavaScript programmer's way of saying "I promise you this code is complicated." 🤓
