I think the Pauli exclusion principle smacks of elitism.
I'm smart and I want respect.

Pauli knows what he did and why he's not invited.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Re: 2020 Current Events Discussion Thread
so will all the comments not related to discussion of current events be moved from here to a discussion of the 2020 current events discussion thread?

Until I saw boson's post above, I had read his jboard handle more as shorthand for "Boatswain," even though I know that "Bosun" is more common for that usage.

We don’t need Jeopardy!. But it is there for people who want to watch it. If you don’t want to watch the Friends reunion, you don’t have to.morbeedo wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 5:19 pmI'm dead serious.

Re: 2020 Current Events Discussion Thread
I'd've waited another four years so it's on a nice round number, but 16 is fine. (My unofficial reunion benchmark would probably be 15 years comfortably, 10 years absolute minimum.) It was, whether you liked it or not, a cultural touchstone.morbeedo wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 5:19 pmI'm dead serious.

It's not harming me, let them do what they will.

Anyway, we won't get it unless we subscribe to HBO Max. It's not even clear that we who get regular HBO will get it. As of now, only AT&T mobile and cable subscribers will get it for free...I think.Volante wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 5:54 pmI'd've waited another four years so it's on a nice round number, but 16 is fine.
