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.

I was out drawing at a coffeehouse last night when I felt a very disturbing sensation on my right wrist: something peculiar was touching me. I was wearing a button down shirt with the sleeves rolled back just past my wrists. Looking down, I saw a huge cockroach hanging onto my sleeve, testing my wrist with its antennae.

It's not, which is why it suits the title of this thread because it's not titled "interesting random thoughts part 4".

IMO, it came in like a wrecking ball.

Isnt that the same place as the one with the rats playing in the dumpster? If so, maybe not too many options for coffee hoses nearby?

No, the rat dumpster was by a donut shop in a completely different part of town.

The cockroach was the large species that lives in storm drains. You often see them on the sidewalks here at night everywhere in San Diego. It's presence there was no reflection on the coffee house. They just occasionally wander into buildings. On the other hand, if you see a small species of roach, that would indicate the establishment is infested.

I'll probably die sooner than expected because I expect to live to 150.

You expect to die sooner than expected because you expect to live 150 years. Contradictory expectations!

Heh very scientific, I love PF because of people's scientific thoughts to look for truths, those of which once get blended with real analysis and advanced math qualitatively and quantitatively can beautify most of the outcomes. :nb)

If no one had contradictory emotions/expectations, there would be no poetry. I am almost 100% every person has inconsistent views/ideas/etc. in one area or another.

I found out today that I couldn't convert .387096774193548 into a fraction, I did already learn factoring and the rules of divisibility but I swear as people keep trying to change my mind I find out I know nuthin lol. as a side note I think I might have come up with a quantum optical computer, I just don't know enough yet so right now it's speculation.

Not me. I expected to die half a lifetime ago.
Things are not going as planned... :mad:

No, on second thought, I'm still not sure if it is.

I'm wondering how people think US (government) is honest in his worries about Iran's nuclear program!
The chants of Death to America and Death to Isreal probably have something to do with it.

As a matter of fact I don't think any government of any country in the world is honest about anything. Not that I'm anti-government. Just that I don't trust them. It's not like they trust me either... The feeling is mutual :-p.

Well, those chants are what US authorities have bought for themselves with their actions in Iran and other countries in the world. Also the fact that they don't seem to be willing to change their path.

I don't consider either country to be blameless. We all live in countries with their own propaganda. If you want to PM me, I'll be happy to discuss. Otherwise, I think this would get us both banned. :frown:

I didn't say one of them is blameless too. But the fact that all over the world, its Iran who is doing all the wrong thing and US is the saviour, is extremely ridiculous.
Yeah, we shouldn't continue this discussion here. I also I would love to have such discussions but I don't think there can be any good result.
