Whow.
And now I wonder if I should thank you or feel insulted in my heterosexuality that I didnt noticed this crucial detail of a lady.
Then again, maybe I'm just getting old.
As in ooooooooooooooooooooooooooold.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ... ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo .... ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ... oooooooold !!!

I am disappointed to see that CoD makes tea with *shudder* tea-bags. They'll be serving freeze-dried instant coffee next.

Headcanon? I think Hannelore's mathiness is fairly well established in Jephcannon.

As an intermediate step they could try ground coffee in coffee bags (which is what I drink a lot of the time); they're individually sealed to keep the aroma intact until use.
Of course, I'm not seriously suggesting these for commercial usage, though bags are often used for tea commercially, I observe. Also, individual coffee filters are not uncommon in second-grade catering establishments, as they look suitably pretentious in use.
Detachable Felix:
Honestly I think they're tea bags just because it's easier to show the reader that they're drinking tea.

(Fellow math/physics/statistics people, plase point out my errors - looking @Skewbrow & Carl-E, especially)
I quickly went through "multicollinearity" and ... if I recall my numerical math courses correctly, from an applied-math POV, this is 'just' the problem of finding an inverse to an ill-conditioned matrix?
Not only do Shor et. al. not help much, IIRC - the remedies, like column/row pivot-search are well-known and pretty standard undergrad classical (=non-quantum) Numerics stuff?
Furhermore, Hanners mentions "absolute" collinearity - the term isn't mentioned in the Wiki-article, but "perfect multicollinearity" would mean the Matrix has less-than-full rank?
Soooooooh ... drop the rows in questions & be glad your Linear Algebra I Prof. didn't catch you agonizing about that? :psyduck:
EDIT: I guess (=arsepull) there could be issues with really, really big and really, really weirdly structured matrices - pivot search running into 'trouble' that is similar to that which some Plus it's a search problem, not a sorting problem?
