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

I can conceive of many absurdity maps that would preserve the properties.

True, but by hypothesis local absurdity exists. Therefore my statement in #3649 holds, although other possibilities may exist if we discard the requirement of local absurdity.

I think it was one where they dressed like women --doesn't narrow it down much from what I remember.

Just £500 to stop us publishing that personal theory you came up with when you were 12!

Another classy move today: I was getting some work done in a coffee shop when the manager comes in and announces a band will start playing. Right then, he introduces it and I just blurt out a " Oh $%^& " ( I thought they would interrupt my work ) and a bunch of people turn to look my way. Inner voice and outer voice...

 

[nuuskur]

Oh $%^&", indeed. Do you get to keep your job, at least

 

[nuuskur]

I just read the Intermediate math challenges, again. I remember problem 6 as an exercise in the course of black magic (read: complex analysis). The theory of residues really is..black magic.

"Every minute counts". Hmmm... I saw a few minutes and I did not see them/ hear them counting.

 

[WWGD]

Wow, bacon was tasty, but not $5.45 tasty. Will stick to usual breakfast place.

I am not addicted to caffeine ..

Every second counts. You were probably observing odd-numbered minutes.

 

[WWGD]

Yes, when I saw the counting minutes, I thought : How odd...

 

[fresh_42]

Every second counts. You were probably observing odd-numbered minutes.

I guess I will listen especially carefully next time an odd minute comes, to hear whether it counts, too, or not. But usually the fireworks are so loud that it's almost impossible to hear it count. Maybe that's why they release it then.

It may not be "random enough", but I was wondering if there is more wisdom to be had from In Living Color, perhaps once a week?

Yeah, and all places in Germany are full of flags. If I want to see some, I'll have to watch an American show, 'cause outside it'll be far too troublesome to find any. And of course, the Turkey at the corner selling kebabs automatically turns into some kind of Hofbräuhaus.

There is Wisdom galore to be gained from Living Color, particularly from Oswald " Wisdom Galore" Bates.

My friend just sent a message to Pujols in LinkedIn for his 3,000th hit. Wonder if Pujols will reply.

I guess my question is:

is this one of those "this is left as an exercise to the reader" situations? Or will we have a (weekly?) guided tour here?

I have a feeling I'll like this Oswald guy. Sounds like a Bond character. I have a feeling DAG may have some wisdom too.

If I added vitamin c powder to a bottle of water and froze it, would the vitamin be destroyed?

 

[nuuskur]

put a piece of lemon (lime) in the water, instead

 

[fresh_42]

Or use Litmus paper to check.

 

[skyshrimp]

Thanks, Iemon is a good idea and I'll get some litmus paper.

"Vitamin C is susceptible to air and the longer a fruit is frozen, the more vitamin C is lost." - Google

I always thought that when something is frozen, all the atoms stop moving. I don't know why something will get more damaged the longer is it frozen.

I have a smoothie chilling in the fridge made of a whole pineapple, 400ml of coconut cream and dark cane sugar.

Google is not much of a source, particularly when it comes to things like nutrition. Google is a good first-order tool for finding sources (on nutrition, for example), but is not source in and of itself. (On the other hand, Alphabet's Google division might be a good source on aspects of search engine technology, for example.)

I think the source of the quote you mentioned comes from an article on livestrong.com (not Google), https://www.livestrong.com/article/361456-nutrition-loss-in-frozen-foods/. But I do not consider that a good source either since it provides no sources of its own to back up its claim.

Could be worse. It could have bled like $%^\, and it hardly stops if it's the tongue. And as if this wasn't enough, it tastes like licking an I-beam.

Sure. But I haven't figured out why, and your report supports my hypothesis, that once it happened once, it will inevitably happen more than once.

Frequently people choose to to bite their tongue instead of saying something disruptive, like I dunno...

Somewhere on the ground of the North Sea between Denmark and England. Hardy lost it there.

My project lost it's sysadmin a few weeks ago. I've had to take over until we can get a replacement (and I train him).
So, this has been my life for the past few weeks...

 

[Posty McPostface]

Can someone provide an answer to a question I have, that seems half baked to me, before I start a thread.

Namely, in the MWI, every possible world is equally real. Yet, this reality seems only seems real to me. I mean, to kind of dumb down the question into a nutshell, 'why haven't I won the lottery yet'?

 

[WWGD]

There people from this company "AE" that read "AE better world". Why leave out a measure-zero non-better world?

I explained the distinction between dev, test and prod to my wife, and then showed her the Leonidas meme. She laughed, then questioned whether the punchline was worth the two minute lecture on IT methodology.

I've not seen those logos, but I don't see the link beyond both being lines from 300 (edit: both from Leonidas, in fact). I think the movie is just so scenery chewingly over-the-top (mis-)quotable that it gets used for all sorts of things.

Yeah, sometimes there can be found traces in the mud, but often it's too difficult to observe them in the wild ... because it's ...

In the prod version all the error-checking is removed, so you won't know why it went wrong.
