Schrödinger was responsible for so much good work in science, but all we remember him for is his cruelty to animals. :(

Not to be confused with philatelist, a stamp collector. The word means to enjoy receiving something without the necessity of payment.
Here’s an interesting related factoid - your eyes are constantly making tiny micromovements called saccades. During these movements, you don’t receive any visual information. Your actual view of the world comes in stuttering fits and starts. You don’t notice this because your brain literally invents what you think you’re seeing during saccades. It’s good enough not to get you weeded out of the gene pool.
The issue with pretending to be stupid on the internet to make a point is that there are so many people doing the same thing with no point in mind.
That’s going to depend a lot on context. Did he travel the world for five years, working a different temporary job at each stop? Or did he repeatedly get fired for pissing in the boss’ in-tray?
Having races where the dogs pull you up and down the hallway on pizza boxes.
Linux. Seems like Windows comes with a lot of baggage these days.
Electrical conductivity. It’s gotta be high, but not too high.
You’re not wrong, but your response doesn’t contribute much to answering the question.
Did you enjoy the joke?
Aw, I wanted Jack Black.
Guess I’ll have to go with my second choice, Danny DeVito.
It wouldn’t be weird, but talk to your neighbour first.
I think FTL or even a substantial percentage of it is pure fantasy.
I used to think FTL was nonsense, but it turns out the universe has a built-in mechanism for time travel at the Planck scale. Particles smaller than the atom swing both ways when it comes to causality and retrocausality.
Now I think that either FTL is completely impossible at the macro scale or it’ll be so easy we’ll be embarrassed we didn’t have it sooner.
My single-player Minecraft skyblock world. Nothing exists there except what I permit.
Sometimes I wish it was available at work.
I don’t know if this helps, but this morning I read an article which says that as long as we keep pushing we now have a chance of reversing global warming.
I’m not ready to believe just yet, but I’m hopeful.
On the day we were set to move, we discovered the house we’d been renting had a roach problem when we moved the fridge and hundreds of them scurried away. The movers told us they couldn’t legally shift our stuff in that condition, but if we took care of it they’d come back on the weekend for us. (That was a long weekend, so we gave them a five-star rating and would have made it six if we could.)
After fumigating and slashing the fabric on the base of every piece of furniture to check with bugs, we were ready. There was torrential rain that day, and even though I put matting down to help our feet grip on the steps, my wife slipped and bruised her hip so badly the marks were still there six weeks later. I wanted to postpone the move and take to the emergency room, but she refused. We were moving that day, even if it killed her!
Oh, and we had no internet because the ISP accidentally sent our router to another city and wouldn’t give us a replacement until they found the first one.
That’s interesting. What makes cyanobacteria distinct from plants?
I often play an old DOS game in DOSBox, and when I exit it doesn’t reset the screen resolution. So I reset it manually by typing
xrandr -output e-DP1 -auto
Ever worry that you might be reading things into a text that just aren’t there?
