If only AIs asked questions when they got confused!

I think Sundays have always been supposed to be Thursday-ish difficulty but bigger?

At least we still have Boswords Stormy.

What's the argument for -\infty?

Watching Movies: Celebrating One Year Of Watching Movies With Robert Redford's Red Submariner in 'All The President's Men' The moment had to be just right to cover this watch-related movie of the week.

In “All the President’s Men” neither Redford nor Hoffman wore a watch chosen by the costumes or props department. Hoffman borrowed Bernstein’s personal watch, while Redford wore Redford’s personal watch.

In this case you get basically the same explanation under Q, right? Luke is pickier than Matthew in terms of what parks of Mark he doesn’t use.

“Six functor formalism.” Split into 6 chapters each titled after one of the functors.

In dollars. Dollar down 13% compared to the Euro since Jan 1.

A news story: "Disney Reportedly Planning Full Reboot of the INDIANA JONES Franchise"

*INDIANA JONES AND THE CLOSURE OF THE ARCHAEOLOGY DEPARTMENT*

Now that Poch is coach everyone has reset their opinions. MLS is good and Euro players have no heart.

See but now we move fast and break things.

real dystopian to be doing my required research security training, with the narration about the "robust system of federal funding to promote innovative research housed in universities across the country."

Completing this research security training module is my path to radicalization.

Nicholas Nickleby had a good run.

Furiously changing “inclusion” to “monomorphism”!

To some extent you can't really find a parallel, since a single star matters so much more in Basketball. The equivalent of one basketball player is *two* soccer players.

One line haunts me:

Now he discovered that secret from which one never quite recovers, that even in the most perfect love one person loves less profoundly than the other. There may be two equally good, equally gifted, equally beautiful, but there may never be two that love one another equally well.

The end of Google Reader was the moment the internet began its slow decline into hell.

I think the answer to “who is the secular version of Jars of Clay” is Toad the Wet Sprocket.

If your Naomi be Klein, you’re fine. If your Naomi be Wolf, ooof!

After the 4th Crusade, Greek civilization went into a decline...

Herringbone tweed trousers.

Random Redditer looking directly into my soul:

“Part of this is ADD. I overanalyze decisions, and try to make the best choice, yet I still make bad decisions most of the time.”

I bought roughly these trousers of eBay recently and have been wondering what to wear with them.

Heard an interesting story recently from @savitt.bsky.social
suggesting mathematicians are pretty evenly split among people who are happy memorizing and ones who deeply hate it, and you can tell which is which by asking if they know the decimal expansion of 1/7.

None of the tricks are all that great here. 6*8 is also one I didn’t have memorized well.

There’s 2*2*2*7, but 2*28 is easy to mess up in your head. (2*30-2*2 is probably the best way).

My recollection is that I didn’t actually know by heart the few hard ones (7*7, 8*7) for a while.

Sports involve some things that are pure repetition (shooting in basketball most famously), but passing in most sports is this kind of mix of drilling fundamentals somehow turning into beautiful creativity.

Which makes you literally the first or second year of millennials. Most millennials were still under 18 on 9/11, and the aftermath of 9/11 was the formative political experience, not Bill Clinton.
