Physics Research Report: Ugh, No One Would Care Anyway

AI Thread Summary
A report from the Institute for Advanced Studies humorously concludes that the public is unlikely to care about its findings, which involve complex scientific concepts like bosons. The spokesperson, Klein, expresses frustration over the lack of interest from reporters, highlighting the perception that the topic is too dull to engage an audience. The overall tone of the discussion reflects a satirical take on the disconnect between scientific research and public interest.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay.
