Sample size = 1. Temporal occurrences = 1. Spatial occurrences = 1.

- Comment on Blanket physics is harder to understand than Calabi-Yau Manifolds 4 weeks ago:
WARNING: If your compact Kähler manifold whose first Chern class is vanishing and if it is also Ricci-flat, than it is a Calabi-Yau. Proceed with care.
- Risk of non-Riemaniann metric

Texas representative: Dear colleagues, we need to remove the age verification law for all websites! It is very important! Or so I’ve heard.
Texas representative 2: I concur with my esteemed colleague. The age verification, for all websites, is very detrimental to the freedom of information. This is what I’m told.
Various representatives: hear, hear. At least that’s what my friend told me.

The great pyramid of Giza weighs around 6 million tons weightofstuff.com/how-much-does-the-pyramid-of-gi…
An average human can apparently develop about 200N www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/ergonomics/push1.html
Meaning that an average human would need a lever about 3×10^8 m long (considering a 1 metre load arm) to move the pyramid.
Do you find this credible?

It can release up to 860 volts, which is enough to run a machine.
Ah yes. Witness my latest invention: a machine the size of an object that might be strong enough to perform an action.

- Comment on One line of code caused AT&T to lose $60 million 5 months ago:
If one single line of code can make you lose $60M, surely you’ll ensure due review processes and independent QA and clear requirements and regular audits and a middle management not only doing KPI monitoring for a failing upper management. Right? Rrrright?
