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

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?

Always weary about editing the registry.

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

Always wondered on a bigger -picture/connection in the UK: Francis Bacon, Lord Hogg and, of course, all the hams. Hogg, Ham and bones.

Don't forget the fourth Earl of Sandwich!

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.

Any relation to Ima Hogg?

Ima be honest with you: Not sure.

A neighbor was helping her friend (surname Haag) think of baby names. I suggested Harley.

That would be pretty far south (doubly south?) as I think polar bears habitat is the Arctic.

I think polar bears habitat is the Arctic.

I wonder where Cartesian bears live?

Cartesia, obviously.

No, France.

Ouch. You're light right. Polar bears indeed live in the Arctic.

The unexpected philosophy Icelanders live by

If Iceland were to have a national slogan, it would be ‘þetta reddast’, which roughly translates to the idea that everything will work out all right in the end.

Maybe for Iceland, it is expected.

So the challenge is to store and warm up a sandwich in a microwave; only means of cooking available. So I left it out and wrapped it in paper, which will likely absorb some moisture. Then I break it in half before putting it in the microwave so the energy will spread through each half. Anything else?

 

[WWGD]

Sandwich experiment a success. No soggyness of bread and overall great taste.

And I learned a bit of trivia in the process. Nicolas Carnot's last name is a generic one for anyone not owning a car.

Seems so much easier to get wound up and going than to wind down.

Is It Weird That I Prefer "Working" w/ Members of Opposite Sex More?

By working, I mean both professionally and in just every day life situations involving a little bit of extended relational interaction (e.g., a physical therapist, a tutor, a gym trainer, and the like). It's not that I have any problems with same-sex/gender individuals - none at all. It's just that I usually (90% of the time) have more chemistry for some reason when working with people of the opposite sex.

I too prefer dealing with women of the opposite sex.

Any reason you know why? It's hard for me to identify reasoning...I just know it's true for me.

In case physicsforums needs to up its security, this recently showed up in my twitter feed.

Maybe just having grown up with two brothers. Maybe just the change of scenery.

Now it's a matter of not mixing up the almost-anagram names ' Celeste', and ' Estelle'

I hate it, when I am only interested in the second game. Twice. Don't they know how late this will be over here?
