In “All the President’s Men” neither Redford nor Hoffman wore a watch chosen by the costumes or props department. Hoffman borrowed Bernstein’s personal watch, while Redford wore Redford’s personal watch.

In this case you get basically the same explanation under Q, right? Luke is pickier than Matthew in terms of what parks of Mark he doesn’t use.

“Six functor formalism.” Split into 6 chapters each titled after one of the functors.

In dollars. Dollar down 13% compared to the Euro since Jan 1.

Now that Poch is coach everyone has reset their opinions. MLS is good and Euro players have no heart.

Furiously changing “inclusion” to “monomorphism”!

To some extent you can't really find a parallel, since a single star matters so much more in Basketball. The equivalent of one basketball player is *two* soccer players.

One line haunts me:

Now he discovered that secret from which one never quite recovers, that even in the most perfect love one person loves less profoundly than the other. There may be two equally good, equally gifted, equally beautiful, but there may never be two that love one another equally well.

The end of Google Reader was the moment the internet began its slow decline into hell.

I think the answer to “who is the secular version of Jars of Clay” is Toad the Wet Sprocket.

Herringbone tweed trousers.

I bought roughly these trousers of eBay recently and have been wondering what to wear with them.

Heard an interesting story recently from @savitt.bsky.social
suggesting mathematicians are pretty evenly split among people who are happy memorizing and ones who deeply hate it, and you can tell which is which by asking if they know the decimal expansion of 1/7.

None of the tricks are all that great here. 6*8 is also one I didn’t have memorized well.

There’s 2*2*2*7, but 2*28 is easy to mess up in your head. (2*30-2*2 is probably the best way).
December 25, 2024 at 5:14 PM
My recollection is that I didn’t actually know by heart the few hard ones (7*7, 8*7) for a while.
