Just like back in high school: "I'm sorry, but you cannot break up with me and then tell me I cannot date other people!"
It’s posts like this that make Canada and other countries want to do deals with China and leave the United States all alone. This is the language of an abusive ex.

Quite sobering, this is. We'd be much better off if we didn't think of ourselves as so very exceptional?

Which came first? The Buckyball or the soccer ball?
C₆₀ is a carbon molecule that adopts a truncated icosahedron structure—20 hexagons and 12 pentagons—exactly like a classic soccer ball.
It’s composed of 60 carbon atoms, each bonded to three neighbors in a purely sp² network, forming a closed cage.

I choose to believe that everyone who is still around tomorrow has been rejected by the rapture. Imagine all of those falsely pious individuals having to answer questions about why they are still here. 😆

Sorry Charlie! If you spouted hate while alive, the system cannot force love on you afterwards. Even if they try.

Mathematics is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat with a flashlight, and more than happy to give a shout out at all the other really cool things found in that room.

Random number generators on a computer cannot produce random numbers. Computers suck at such basic human concepts like randomness, making zero, and solving mathematical models. When computers finally attain imagination, THEN maybe they can compete on these front with us.

I identify with Jungleland down to my core. To this day, I can sing Clarence's sax solo down to the note. Still gives me shivers just running through the song in my mind.
Reflecting on the making of "Born to Run," in 2009, Bruce told James Henke, “The sound I heard in my head was not one that was physically reproducible.” Undeterred, he took six months to record the title track — and guided Clarence Clemons’ iconic solo on “Jungleland,” singing it phrase by phrase.

Diving into a math problem is like deep-sea diving. One has to disregard the entire outside-world for a time to devote the entirety of one's brain to the problem. I call it "going deep" as a means of telling others that I will be non-responsive for a spell.
