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.

Thanks all. The other driver got a ticket for speeding in a neighborhood area. The weather didn't help either.
Better step back from the edge, we don't want to see a dizzy drizzel :oldsurprised::oldlaugh: but seriously, sometimes things going on in ones life can have an affect on how aware one is about little things around them. PLEASE be careful, you might not need to give up on driving :(

Lol Om, ironically my car [a BMW :D] totally stopped before anything happened and the other car slipped towards me.

My shoulder and neck still hurt :/

But why does it call itself "Orchestra" when it doesn't seem to involve an orchestra?

I don't think there is a serious reason behind.

Basic idea of The Finale is that many bands play in many places in Poland. Every kind of band - occasionally including symphonic orchestras. So you can think about it as if it was an orchestra of individual bands (could be it doesn't make much sense in English).

What is perhaps more important is that the name was established many years ago, it wasn't as large then. I think first edition ended with a single concert in Warsaw. And the name was invented by Jerzy Owsiak - he is slightly nutty sometimes ;)

I know it doesn't matter much to all of you, as it is is quite local, Polish thing, but today is The Grand Finale of the 2015 edition of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Orchestra_of_Christmas_Charity.
What a fun country you live in.

In a last few years it attracted a lot of criticism and hate from the right side, which made me create a facebook event "I will pay twice as much to counteract haters" - https://www.facebook.com/events/775949472479753
Nice profile pic. This like from Mark Widmer say's a lot too.
From that angle, your blue hair does not show.

The word "avuncular" , meaning uncle-like has always seemed artificial to me; I have never heard someone say
something like : Do you know Tom from accounting? Doesn't he come off as being an uncle ?

It sounds medical to me: "Fmri revealed a distal avuncular perimortem contusion."

Meanwhile in Detroit - Granny Rambo. :w
The grandmother of four, Paris Ainsworth, was actually shot four times, but she was still able to pull out her gun and return fire.

I'm sure I've heard it somewhere along the way but it's not a common word. I think I've heard it in reference to Larry King.

As words go, I don't like it. It sounds too much like carbuncle (another word we don't hear much since the discovery of antibiotics, thankfully!).
