Heat level: “fire-extinguisher hot”.

Good for you. Managers that protect their people and their people’s time are worth their weight in gold.

Then you are the “lesser being”!

You can find instructions online for stretches and exercises, but that doesn’t hold my interest. I bit the bullet and joined a gym, going a couple of times a week to keep loose. Maybe I could do the stuff I do there at home (after purchasing some equipment), but I think the environment is worth the expense. I don’t talk to anyone else except to greet the staff, but I like the fact that other people are around and it’s a space dedicated to working out.

How do you know that the plane that just landed is from England? Even when the engines have been shut down, you can still hear the whining.

In the best case, the detection is at the 2.4 sigma confidence level (less than the usual 3 for reasonable confidence and will below the 5 required for strong confidence), and if previously suspected issues with the instrument are true, the detection could disappear completely.

I do not have a strong confidence in this result. (But at least they didn’t publish it in Nature, in which case you would absolutely know it’s wrong…)

You just had to open your ellipsis…

Even a fool, if he keeps silent, is considered wise.

If you are located at the same latitude, you will see the same stars but at different times (like time zones). But if the separation has a north-south component, you will be able to see different stars from each other, because the stars hidden over the horizon to the north and south won’t rotate into view because the rotation is east-west.

Even numbers are so six-a-dozen.

But even numbers aren’t primes!

I don’t get it. I haven’t read the books, only seen the movies, but as far as I could tell, there’s absolutely nothing special about Harry. He gets swept along, and he has himself no particular virtue to be extolled.

It’s crazy how jealous the US and the UK are of each other’s system.

We need living space!

“The dog?! You were named after the dog?!”

That was a negotiation tactic…

M-x life

Is this not just a transcript?

Mate, don’t wear three layers and a wool suit in those conditions!
