Mine was a group thesis about how the quaternions are a double covering of Minkowski Space-Time.

7 year-old to me: I want to play Donkey Kong Country. It’s one of my favorite games because of you, dad.

My heart swells. I limit the video game time he gets but how could I say no to that?

Since we seem to be on a Jacob Frey hate spree, I’ll just add that someone stuck a sticker to a post by the Penn Ave exit on 62 that reads “Jacob Frey has Weird Balls”

Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices

Spring sports in Minnesota means putting on sunscreen while there’s still fresh snow on the ground.

In fairness he’s played >18,000 blitz games and fewer than 60 rapid.

3 years ago Gto-77 beat Toivonen_Alwxander, who beat GM Raphael 5 years ago, who beat GM DrNykterstein 6 years ago

Mine relies on someone who is apparently significantly better at blitz than rapid.

Ranking all 1028 pokémon based on how likely they are to sign as a second baseman for the Minnesota twins.

My algorithm is flawless.

It’s probably the top rated business school on the country that doesn’t require any ethics class to graduate. I took the one they offered anyway and let’s just say you heard right.

As someone who actually went to the University of Chicago, those Econ professors are incredibly dogmatic. Finance professors, probably by virtue of the fact finance exists in the real world, are much more open to unorthodox ideas.

The hype around Halloween is completely ridiculous. It is one night long, not a month long celebration.

And now the main theme is stuck in my head. We went to Ireland last year and I was hesitant to explain to my wife why I got excited by the coffee table book on old convents I found.

I once saw an artist lament that so many artists draw the same face over again and use hairstyles or clothes as the only differentiator between their characters. I pointed them to Misericorde as a counter example. It‘s all black and white, no Visible hair, all same clothes.

Play the Misericorde games.

Sorry but this argument holds no water when the Zelda animated series exists.

Thinking back to 2016 when an investment guy was in our office and said, “can you imagine that guy with the nuclear codes?” and my conservative coworker replied, “better than her who‘s too afraid to use them” all smugly.

At the point where my team is hiring interns who were born the year I graduated high school.

Apparently some asshole went around southwest Minneapolis in the middle of the night a few days ago and stole everyone’s Annunciation signs.

"bro is this fetish art 😭" anything and everything you will ever interact with is someone's fetish. someone wants to fuck clouds. someone's horniest thought is to be a branch on a tree. someone's going to fuck a salt shaker. someone wants to fuck math. someone did. his name was albert einstein

What’s worse is that the inventor of the escalator pronounced it es-CAL-a-tor more similar to Excalibur.

Shit. This is such a good way of thinking about it and I feel so owned as a result.

Not gonna lie, Minneapolis Schools pre-emptively calling a snow day when the snow is scheduled to stop tonight feels weak. I’m aware that this is a boomer take.

Note to self for later today/tomorrow: at current snow levels it takes 1hr30m to snow blow and shovel the driveway and walking paths.

I have one through work and it’s pretty good actually

The internet remains a wonderful place at times

Wtf. I found a proposal made by a shareholder (the Free Enterprise Project) to ask Starbucks why they don’t have detransition services listed under their employee healthcare coverage. I’ve never seen that before, and I read over a hundred proxies a year. Fwiw the vote will fail by a mile.

VIX has become less reliable vs 10 years ago (there are fewer VIX traders these days). Is there a metric you prefer, or do I have it wrong?

Sounds like you logged off (complimentary)
