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

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

If you are talking American football, have you seen the weather forecast?

Nope. Will there be snow at Lambeau?

How about recording it and making sure not to contact those in your circle that may provide spoilers?

45% chance at 10pm. 14° at the start of the game.

Makes no sense. I would spoiler myself. The tension is the point, not the football. I do not expect an extraordinarily good game. Maybe tomorrow.

Not sure what you mean. I revered to the game itself, not the outcome.

Yes, and I said, I wouldn't watch a canned game.

Maybe other sports; NBA or MLB have better latency to German time? Maybe the coasts or center?

 

[Hamiltonian]

you might not be anyone's best friend.

@Hamiltonian299792458 I noticed that friendship dynamics changed a ton after school. Nowadays I tend to float between groups based on convenience (lectures, labs, sports, etc.) more than anything else, and move on fairly quickly once our paths diverge. And three of the four people I'd say I know best at the present are international students who aren't even in the country for half the year. I'd say that I haven't had a best friend for about five or more years, but certainly wouldn't view it as a bad thing!

(Might also add that I found it insanely hard to make friends during the first term of university, but it got easier once I started taking myself less seriously and shook off some of the "new environment"-nerves. Perks of being an awkward physics student, right? )

Not even the Fifa cup? I make exceptions there. I just make sure to avoid spoilers.

Do you, @Hamiltonian299792458 live on campus?

It's helpful towards making friends. And technically, every exam is a take home exam ;).

I guess you haven't watched last night. That was nothing you want to waste the effort of recording on!

No, I'm only into Baseball. I hear Pizza Hut and Domino's make around 1/3 of their yearly sales during the Super Bowl.

I am still in high school, I will go to uni in a couple of months.

I'll keep that in mind!

It took me a while to realize Covid and quarantine were affecting my social life and relationships. But I have hopes for college!

Thanks for the advice guys:)

KC Chiefs 23 Buffalo Bills 21. Go Chiefs.

At least the best game so far among all 4. Guess it will be decided by a FG with 4 seconds to go ...

KC looking good now 26 to 21 6:20 to play. Go Chiefs!

Please include spoiler alerts! I don't watch football but others may.

Not easy without a passing defense.

You got that right.

 

[dlgoff]

Thank goodness for Hill. Go Chiefs.

 

[fresh_42]

Ok, FG is off the table. At least.

 

[dlgoff]

I think I feel a heart attack coming on!

edit: yep. I had one. KC is out now.

Maybe not. Fingers crossed. 48 yard attempt. Can he do it?

 

[dlgoff]

48 yard attempt. Can he do it?

Yes he can. Overtime?

 

[fresh_42]

Hopefully, they will not need their defense aka chicken pile again.

Now that was one heck of a game. KC 42 Bills 36.

People are shooting firework around here.

 

[BillTre]

Best playoff game ever.
