That's all, folks!

  • Negotiate a truce between night-man and day-man.

  • At an old job, I liked my chair so much that I called the barely-visible number on the faded sticker on the bottom to find out what it was, found out it was an Aeron and got me one. The great thing about a new one is the long-ass warranty. An arm snapped off mine maybe 7 years after I got it and they replaced both arms.

  • There's a saying I've heard in another masc-heavy field but probably applies to all of them: the odds are good but the goods are odd.

  • The conclusion does not follow from the premises, as evidenced by my counterexample. It could be the case that every finite string of digits appears in the decimal expansion of pi, but if that's the case, a proof would have to involve more properties than an infinite non-repeating decimal expansion. I would like to see your proof that every finite string of digits appears in the decimal expansion of pi.

  • That's one where you don't even have to reveal your power level to object. I just say that we. fought. a. war. (pressing down on the table) and WE WON. Giving a shit about those fucks flies in the face of even the whitewashed history they taught us in elementary school.

  • 0.101001000100001000001 . . .

    I'm infinite and non-repeating. Can you find a 2 in me?

  • I stayed up so late enjoying my freedom to stay up late tonight that I am probably going to hate my freedom to wake up about as early on Thursday.

  • My first memory was falling in the pool. I was probably conscious for some time before then, just not making memories.

  • I like the super-flexy rubbery ice cube trays where you can just push the cubes out through the bottom into the glass without touching them. Ice cubes in the fridge door are fine, too.

  • At this latitude? At this time of year?

  • Dublin-Ireland relations in shambles

  • Don't go to Times Square for NYE. Not once for the experience. Zero times because you read about just how bad of a decision that is. 0.

  • When do you think Luigi was identified as the patsy? Please let me know if you see cop-supplied assumptions in the below or if I'm missing anything.

    (a) Before the fed-planned shooting. They looked for a reasonable match for their assassin. I'm not even dismissing this one but not going to type out a lot if nobody thinks this is the case.

    (b) Before the independent shooting. The feds keep tabs on a big list of people who have dropped off the grid and can reasonably match pretty much any height, race and build to take the fall for major "crimes" committed by a masked individual. Overly complex.

    (c) After the fed-planned shooting. Including for completeness' sake but it would be pretty hilarious if they didn't plan that far ahead.

    (d) After the independent shooting, before he got to Altoona. NYPD didn't want to hog the credit and figured the Altoona PD needed some time in the spotlight.

    (e) After the independent shooting, after he got to Altoona, before finding out that he had dropped off the grid. The cops were just extremely lucky that their close-enough match happened to have been a ghost for a long time before the shooting.

    (f) After the independent shooting, after he got to Altoona, after finding out that he had dropped off the grid, before getting his ID. Altoona PD have been hiding the power level of their surveillance state and can use McDonalds-level security cameras to figure out that you've been laying low for months.

    (g) After the independent shooting, after he got to Altoona, after finding out that he had dropped off the grid, after getting his ID. They've been stopping tall athletic white dudes with eyebrows all across the country until they hit the jackpot with Luigi and convincing everyone they let go not to talk about it.

  • Were the gun and fake IDs really pivotal, though? He still would have the resemblance, the smell of not bathing properly for a few days and no alibi. I think he was fucked the moment somebody dropped the dime regardless.

    Do you follow a Bayesian or frequentist tendency?

    The "No anti-nautilism posts" rule is not OK.

    Who's the most powerful person in the world with a buzzcut? A flattop? A rattail?
