...you've entertained the idea of a trip to New York City for New Year's because the Second Avenue Subway is opening on Jan. 1.

(unfortunately all the hotels seem to be booked up for other reasons)

 

[dkotschessaa]

I thought that made one worldly and cultured, or at least a history aficionado.

Sure. But I mean. I get really, really upset thinking about it!

ALL THOSE BOOKS

I share those sentiments about the loss of irreplaceable manuscripts.

The Library of Alexandria was one of many libraries, but surely there were some unique documents.

Many popular human activities seem pointless and therefore a waste of valuable time and energy.

The idea of doing something unproductive just for "fun" does not make sense.

Unregulated or in other words free-form dancing makes no sense. One can understand highly regulated dancing, where all the steps are predetermined. But otherwise on what basis should we decide what to do next?

You are a student, alone in your dorm room, thinking about a logic problem, when a girl you like enters your room and stretches out on your bed, smiles, and says in effect she could use some intimate company, and you just look at her, and wonder why she is telling you of all people. You feel relieved when she leaves.

You can no longer relate at all to dogs, because one evening you were sitting on the sofa watching a science fiction movie, and your dog was beside you, and you looked at your dog, and you realized you would never be able to discuss it with him. Your relationship with your dog was without intellectual content and therefore served no useful purpose. You were struck by the sadness of it all. Poor dog.

You mean... like carrying Coals to new Castle ? ...

...when a girl you like enters your room and stretches out on your bed, smiles, and says in effect she could use some intimate company...

Lol... I always thought you were supposed to...

... feel relieved when she leaves.

But otherwise on what basis should we decide what to do next?

Aah yes!... seems that might require information from the future... but,
I'll bet Poor Dog knows, and he just ain't telling...

You put pokemon references into your cosmology papers:

We see that we have reached an expression that have clearly the form of the energy conservation equation. It is possible to distinguish the terms of the kinetic energy and the potential energy, but we see that a wild integration constant have appeared so we have to interpret its meaning.

When seeing a new antenna type stops you in your tracks while you try to figure out what it is for and why it's shaped that way...

You still get upset thinking about the library of Alexandria.

Or the fact that Galois was a rubbish shot.

WHOA! you are way nerdier(?) than me. On a nerd scale of 1 to 10 a definite 10.

 

[Craftek_Ana]

- You google, a LOT.

-- You have to mentally rephrase what your going to say so some people will understand.

 

[Aufbauwerk 2045]

you consider yourself normal and the rest of the world weird.

That's because the rest of the world is weird.

[Demystifier]

[Ibix]

... if you think that Google is the most frequently used internet site

You know you are a nerd in an office full of non-nerds when one of the phrases you use most often is "what happens if you type that into Google?" Many of them get the point. Some of them give me the impression that they think Google will explode if they type a technical question. Find the football scores? Yes. How do I do a t-test in R? Let's ask Ibix just in case...

 

[Aufbauwerk 2045]

... if you know that bracket is not a cat with a bra.

The word "bracket" in math is fine. But my least favorite nomenclature in physics is the "bra" and "ket" in QM. But it's funny sometimes. There was a guy in my intro to QM course who did not like saying the word "bra" using its standard pronunciation, so he pronounced it to rhyme with the first syllable in "bracket." But he was the only one, and he always hesitated before saying it at all. It was obvious he was uncomfortable.

Please explain what it is for and why it's shaped that way. Thank you.

It's a nerd detector. Works well with EE nerds and physicists, but its efficiency drops off rapidly with distance of the nerd from these disciplines.

Well I qualify as both types of nerd, at least to some small extent. So I could not sleep tonight until I tracked this down.

That deserves some some sort of award I think.
