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

Rita? Is that a reference to Mambo #5? How about Sandra and the others? I am apparently one of the 5 people who liked the song.

It is one of my favorites. And then I met a beautiful young lady who also loved the song. She used to watch the video all the time growing up. I fell in love in about five seconds. LOL! And that was OUR song. So romantic eh?

But I don't get how the pic matches the show.

It matches what I love about the role (Fiona) of Gabrielle Anwar (finding solutions the explosive way).

Always hoped Gabrielle had a son or daughter called Peace. Peace Anwar. Then she would read War and Peace.

That guy, Lou Bega, dropped out of sight after that song.

So did I for about 3 years. :)

It looks like he kept trying but didn't have much success.

This is his latest effort - Scatman & Hatman



It's alright.

But Mambo #5 is legendary.

Christian who? Is she as lovely as Rita?

Your point?

It is usually a boy's name.

I've meet atheists called Christian. They're kind of boxed in at birth.

Christian and Christian may take issue with that

I spent 30 minutes damning Excel until I realized it only generates random integers. At least Rand and Randbetween.

It only came up as 666?

Incredibly so, given numbers were in the range (1,100).

It is an impossible demand anyway. Real random numbers are almost certain transcendental, and no algorithm in this world can list even a single one.

How about using the 3-pendulum problem somehow?

By definition it will always calculate the same answers for each iteration.

You can do things like using a photon detector to produce random numbers.

Thanks. Just wanted here to have the 8,000th/nd post.

The first move was within the rules. I deleted my own comment within the time window.

Now I abused my mentor power to restore the original posts.

Do you have a wave count in the US? I wonder whether it is the same as here. This would indicate a correlation of stupidity.

I think there is a liberal conspiracy at work.

Mainly in red states. Note for example below, US, Florida, California [twice the population of Florida]

I think normal people would say it is wave #4.
However, I think of the second wave as a continuation of the first wave. It just took a while for the first wave of infection to spread to more rural, regions.

Hmm, same here. I thought it was correlated, although I do not have an explanation. Is it due to the underlying SIR model, or due to the same negligence in dealing with the situation? Probably both.

If your last name is Knapp, don't call your daughter Ivanna.

Long ago I worked with a man whose parents had immigrated to the US from China. They came here when Harry Truman was President, to whom they were very grateful. So Mr and Mrs Dong decided to name their first son Harry, in honor of Truman. True story.
