Totally possible. Those things do burrow into the brain.

Three theories:
1) they remember the general but not the specific
2) they didn’t want to make it that obvious
3) they didn’t want her to look married

Holy crap, I need to find out where the nearest Sonic is, STAT. That sounds freaky good.

I’m sorry, the what with the WHAT?

And it’s somehow hot, cold, and windy all at once, all the time at the same time…

I doubt most people have any idea what’s in Stata anyway, it’s just the weird one. 🤣

All the bloody time.

“It would be so nice if we had [useful data parameter].”

“Yep, definitely would. But this thing doesn’t do that, sooo….”

This *must* be intentional, right? Tongue-in-cheek?

The pics of the Vegas brain one *do* look like they’re rusting, which…. 🤷🏼‍♀️

All I can say is I wish my parents never had! 🤣

Everybody I know to ask is a New Englander, so I don’t know that I can say. (Quite a lot of them still don’t eat before mass, or at least don’t eat for several hours beforehand.)

It does seem to cap out about an hour, I suspect because there’s enough people from the northeast who’d loudly mutiny if they get up to too much bullshit.

Priests in the US southeast, though, seem to be taking lessons from their evangelical colleagues and going longer and longer. I was *not* there for it the last time I had to go to a mass.

There’s a guy from NYC who does a standup bit about this, where one of the jokes is the priest saying he’s double-parked, so “sit down, stand up, sit down, stand up, shut up, let’s go”.

Now that’s a good software name.

If you work in/adjacent to Democratic politics, or even if you are an occasional Democratic donor, this new @adambonica.bsky.social piece is the most important thing you can read today.

The Democratic Party cannot build power if it allows scam pacs to thrive

I remember I used to be amazed by how few fucks the Canadian border people gave - but sadly, I think those days are behind us.

Oh, for sure, I’m not saying *lie*. I’ve just never had a rental car company care where I drove it.

Feels like a case of “what they don’t know won’t hurt them”, honestly

My advisor literally wrote a book on sexism in science. I suspect I saw as little of it as I did because people knew I was *her* trainee and assumed the nuclear response they’d get - and I *still* saw entirely too much of it. In the 2000s.

Absolutely!

They’re using a technique that wasn’t even a thing at the time, much less a thing in our animal, and it’s *amazing* to see it working and showing cool new things.

Aww, what a bummer about the funding - that *is* such an interesting topic!

Oooof.

Vindication indeed!

Dang, and I thought the high-intensity conversations I kept having with our optics company’s customer service were bad! 😂

To be clear: their paper is cool as hell. I’m just a little jealous.

Someone just published a paper citing some research I did during my PhD that I didn’t have the chance to fully follow up on… and they found a bunch of what I suspected was true, plus some other cool things.

*sigh* The road not taken….

“C is for Cookie”, “Rubber Ducky”, sure, but are you a *real* fan if you don’t still remember all the motions to “Skinnamarink”?
