Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a variety of topics, beginning with the reopening of a thread on the Physics Forums. Participants express relief at the continuation of the conversation and share light-hearted banter about past threads. There are inquiries about quoting from previous threads and discussions about job opportunities for friends. The conversation shifts to humorous takes on mathematics, particularly the concept of "Killing vector fields," which one participant humorously critiques as dangerous. Participants also share personal anecdotes, including experiences with power outages and thoughts on teaching at university. The tone remains casual and playful, with discussions about the challenges of winter, the joys of friendship, and even a few jokes about life experiences. The thread captures a blend of humor, personal stories, and light philosophical musings, all while maintaining a sense of community among the forum members.

Terrifying! Going out shopping with a gun on.
100 years later, US will become a gang house.
Their mindset is fixed about "safe and sound" policies. They should leave the US and move to Mars.

I think that is about as close to the edge as I would want to go and I am talking about the guy. :D

Maybe not too funny?

I was in a conversation where this young woman whom I don't know too well said,
" I am 91" , where she meant clearly from the context that she was born in 1991. I told
her: "you don't look a day over 70". Now she won't talk to me anymore.

No snow, but I did have to scrape frost off the windshield this morning.

It was funny! It reminds mathematicians that not all people are mathematicians!

I got up at 6:30 A.M. and tormented them all by banging my car doors.

I went to bed at 9:00 last night, not the least bit drunk. Woke up feeling awful but I'm much better now.

An inauspicious beginning to the new year but lucky for me, I'm not superstitious :D.

When I'm about 70, I'm thinking of starting a punk band called "Grumpy Old Men." Concerts begin around 4:30. We'll sing about medicare (or whatever it is at the time) and have songs like "Get off my lawn" and what not. We'll ask the audience "how is everyone doing tonight?" and when they answer we'll say "I can't hear you!" and then when they say it louder we'll say "No really... I can't hear you!" Every time the audience cheers we'll tell them to shut up. And they'll love it. But we won't do encores.

Anybody in?

LOL! Watched this show when it was streaming on Netflix. Wish they'd put it back up.

My favorite:

BMX Bandit:
I' ride in through that window, using my BMX, and spin my rear wheel, kicking some mud up into their faces. While they're distracted, I'll pop a wheelie, knocking the guns out of their hands, then you go in and untie the girl!

Angel Summoner: Right... Or...I could just summon a horde of angels to sort it out..

As long as you make it slow I might be interested. if I'm allowed to be in a wheelchair.

The only strange thing I have seen in GD forums is that this
https://www.physicsforums.com/forums/relationships.199/
forum has not any thread that starts with "I want to talk to a handsome man", ""Oh my gosh that's kind of the macho man I've been seeking", "Hey boy Call me Maybe", etc :DD (that seems to be a room for men only) :D

I Finally decided to stop complaining about the cold and actually did something about it, buying a scarf and a hat. Now the cold weather seems reasonably-bearable; I only need something else to start complaining about. Ideas?

I guess there should be a hell of traffic in NY now. Like it?

Well, in most parts that I am aware off, it is the woman that gives the green light for a relationship to start happening.
