What's your "thing?" The math aspect you keep coming back to? Perfect numbers, the Riemann conjecture, the Collatz conjecture, the mysteries around 37 or 1/e, P v NP, any of the various mapping or topological problems, etc. - what thing do you you abandon and then check in on?

I can foretell the future - this administration manages to blow up the moon.
EXCLUSIVE: Sean Duffy will announce expedited plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon, his first major action as interim NASA administrator.

As someone who lived in Dallas for six years, I can agree with her friend.
A friend of mine who lives in Austin saw this at a bar and said she had never been so offended by something she 100% agreed with.

A three day weekend is dangerous for me. Not enough time for a decent travel getaway, but too much time at home to keep boredom from setting in.

@cnbc.com in your story "Canadians pull back on U.S. trips..." you state, "Visitors from Canada were the largest group, accounting for 28%, followed by Mexico at 23%, the bank said in a note this month." What bank? You do not cite or quote a bank at that point in the article. You discuss BoA later?

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com The real issue is these are power of the purse concerns. Those rest with CONGRESS. That's the position you should be talking, because it is accurate. But talk to the @strictscrutiny.bsky.social people, because I know they know. (2/2)

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com just listened to the latest pod. You are saying it is unconstitutional to tie University funding to unrelated issues. You've REALLY smart constitutional lawyers around you. That's not right. Look at highway funding and drinking laws. Or Rust v. Sullivan re abortion. (1/2)

How's my day going? I was wondering whether the cardinality of complex numbers was greater than that of the reals, since they are a superset of the reals. I couldn't remember, but guessed they would also be the cardinality of the continuum.
Normal people think about these things while driving,right?

I firmly believe that if you have a problem in this country, the best place to go is a bar, politely. There will be people who are incredibly skilled such that they have no other life, and people incredibly unskilled such that they have no choice. If you can tell the difference, great knowledge!

Honest financial question: they say to retire, you need four times salary by age 45. But is that pre-tax or post-tax?
Either way, I’m behind. But the latter I can catch up. The former, I just gotta die young.
