What is the newest installment of 'Random Thoughts' on Physics Forums?

Wonder to what extent people pay attention when you talk. I told someone: " Temperature went below 25 F for two consecutive days. It should be illegal!".
And a bunch if people, not obviously joking , replied: Yes!

On other news. I saw someone sew a so-so shirt.

So what that you saw a so-so shirt some what sowed by someone?

Some mix up with my Covid results. Apparently, " I am NOT the father". ?

Wonder about Hotmail/Microsoft's profile of me. I receive offers for:
--Discrete , absorbent underwear
--Erection pills
--Complete your college degree
--Lose that extra weight
--Eliminate those pesky dark spots

Don't want to list any others; I'm starting to feel depressed.

That's the way I would have designed it, if I ruled the world.

I've found a way out of the maze. I once tried to find a certain phone number in Sweden. I even called, but they have had no English entry point. Ever since I get spam in Swedish. It's not less than before, but I do not understand them anymore.

Love it when I expand out a bunch of brackets, stare at the result for a few seconds and then excitedly realize "aha, it factorises!", and go right back to where I started.

Not sure for you, but for me I often spend around an hour clearing up expressions; cancelling, grouping, after which I end with something like "1=1"

Interest suggestion for cheaper air fares: After original search, empty your cache to rid of cookies ,so that airline sites don't know you've done a recent search with them.

--Discrete , absorbent underwear

Those are the one-use pairs.

The "invisible" ones that come in plain boxes are "Discreet, absorbent underwear."

I remember a really disgusting ad for them " Now you can hug with confidence". How was it before? The grandson/granddaughter saying " I don't like hugging grandpa, he's always wet"?

So I select a bunch of emails from the mailbox ; Ctrl+A, and move them to the folder. Then I see more emails to be sent to the folder. Ctrl+A, and move them. A third time. Then I realized the messages I found the 2nd, third time were already in the destination folder. Projection map satisfies P^2=P; P^3=P^2(P)=P. Duh

Having trouble with the change from 3G to 5G. Though some strange things happening. I can't send texts but I can't receive any. I can't access the web nor use Whatsapp nor the phone.

Don't know if it's a coincidence but 3 people I know , all of whom lived in Communist countries, and all with college degrees, are refusing to be vaccinated. Edit: Not sure why, when I asked them they just make a Po-Poker face.

I am still writing 2021...I do this every year when we change to a new calendar year...my brain has to adjust.

Who else is writing 2021 in 2022 as the date?

Usually takes a week-or-two to adjust for me.

I don't even know what decade it is half the time.

Once I went into the auto-parts store to get something for my car. The technician asked what year my car was. I said, "It's ah, hmm, what year um... Oh, wait, I remember, it's a one-thousand, six."

He just stared at me blank faced. I was expecting him to type that into his computer thingy that tells him what part to get. But nothing. He stood motionless and silent. It was somewhat unnerving. He just stood there motionless, transfixed on me.

I had to double check my appearance. Did I spill mustard on my shirt? Was I even fully dressed? Yep, everything checked out. So what's going on? I asked myself. This awkward silence continued for an uncomfortably long time. Then it hit me: 1006. "Oh, sorry, it's a 2006 Hyndai." Finally, he started typing.

Yes, I was off by a thousand years.

Uhmm, don't try to get a job as a bookkeeper.

Have you ever seen an end-of-quarter financial report?

 

[Tom.G]

I suppose it could work for those "creative" reports.

 

[kyphysics]

Gotta be careful when filling out records too.

Say you got to the doctor's office, you might be filling out something important and with the wrong year...if the staff don't catch it, it could be on there.

If I was some kind of front desk staff responsible for checking dates...I'd probably mess up a lot in January. I've filled out checks with the wrong year before!

I have used an elevator today that had a name. There was a big sign at its door reading

Did you feel lucky?

I ended up at the wrong level that later turned out to be the right level. -_-_

Now that I think about it. The elevator led to the central emergency unit ...

Maybe a Flinstone -Yabba, Yabba doo? Did you use your feet for impulse after coming out of the quarry?

So the move to 5G is eminent and will happen soon. Now , I have 4G, so not sure where I fit into the whole new scheme. Just need to be able to access 5G Wifi from a 4G phone to transfer all my content to the new phone.

I have installed a cookie cleaner add-on. It displays the number of cookies a site wrote. The interesting result so far:
PF 13-15
FB 8
NFL 91

There is also Privacy Badger which blocks some number of "potential trackers".

For some reason the pretty drawings of small modular reactors don’t have the blue glow that is standard for other hi-tech pretty drawings.

I would like to be in the beach. I guess I have sand wish.

Which is kind of sad since, you know, Cherenkov.

With our masonry heater every cold day comes with a low RH period. Right now it is around 20%.
Itch age.

Seems like grilled chicken chain "Pollo Tropical" (Chicken from the Tropics) has branches in Russia. I can imagine people eating chicken wearing 5 coats staring at the palm trees in the PT logo.

Wonder what a world would be like where it was possible to model relations without noise, e.g., grades vs hours studied or BP from hours of exercising, etc.

I noticed a green spot in my big toe nail. Concerned, I started scraping it and a whole layer on top of the original nail came of. Kind of scary, I initially thought the actual nail was coming off, but it turned out to be the layer.

Edit: I almost posted this to "How do you drink your coffee". Would have been a weird fit.

A sequel to the "milk with porridge" question. A friend of mine commented that my eating of a piece of salmon without first removing the skin was "f*cking weird", despite my never having being urged to do so for any piece of fish in my life. It seems akin to peeling off the crust from bread - far too much effort, and in any case it's actually quite nice. Thoughts?

No batter yet. Not until April when season starts. Unless they play cricket during these months.

I frequently get some ads on FB from a burger restaurant in town. The burgers always look great. Today I had the chance to have a look at the actual real-world restaurant. Well, my appetite all of a sudden went south, far south.

How far South? Antarctic burgers? Maybe polar bear patties?

Far enough so that I couldn't see what they were doing. However, it's not a big loss. They support the wrong soccer club anyway.
