Stewart is also awful over other reasons. He divorced his first two wives after getting caught cheating on them. His third wife was younger than his kid.

    What a legend. MN resident here, and Somalis get so much shit here the last few years it's shameful. In my anecdotal experience, they seem like such a kind and peaceful people. Republicans are currently trying to find any excuse to deport one of our US reps (Omar). This timeline is insane.

    The Somali gangs... erm... saving tens of children... huh... are a menace to the USA... hmm... and Somali should be deported indiscriminately... to avoid a repetition of this horrific... er... heroic life-saving episode. There.

    Hard to give an example that would be relevant to your particular activities, but violin makers sometimes use it in a practical way.

    When you make a wooden soundboard you can visualize its deformation eigenfunctions (or rather its zeros) and proper frequencies using a speaker and sand:

    And they use it to "tune" the soundboard somewhat as far as I understand it ?

    Also, for the strict "anything described in Fourier" proposition, you can draw homer Simpson with epicycles with it:

    So I guess all the 1400's astronomy was using it somewhat
