I tried to buy a new tube of toothpaste while traveling in Belgium and (not looking closely enough) bought a similarly packaged tube of denture adhesive cream.

A preprint:
Title: Idempotent Resources in Separation Logic
Authors: myself, Mathias Adam Møller, and Lars Birkedal
An attempt to understand better what's going on with Iris' notion of "abstract resource" from a slightly more categorical/algebraic point of view. Also known as "attempt number 103458 to explain Iris to @npub1tr9…hca0".
