I made eye contact with a crazy person who was rich because they and a friend made an algorithm.......
He said that E = mc^2 is a load of shit because nothing in nature is square.
I was waiting for a chicken burger thinking that I should have also ordered a thickshake, then bam, a barrage of bullshit.

I bet there have been many, many roughly square crystalline structures over the course of time and space.
Possibly even perfectly square?
(but I know that’s not the point).

Up early. Going to get in an extra 1-2hrs of study this morning so that I can get Haley into her kart for a few hours today. The shop is at a track 1.5hrs away and I can't burn the extra time driving, so we're going to our local track that's 25min away. We will be able to get there and back 12:45-4pm vs. 8:30-4pm (maybe).
Going to take up their recommendation and do shorter sessions with more focus on specific things to improve on and watching videos in between the sessions. Today is not lifting through two corners that can be taken in a straight line, planting heels, and accelerating sooner at apex. That combination, if she can link them, should be almost 5% faster and just off the podium kids. Pulling an extra second will be PR for her and definitely a confidence boost to keep pushing to better herself.
Scores on all my practice tests are staying in the 70-80% range, where the prep course I'm in defines passing as 55% for these harder tests, which is good. Still grinding. Don't want to get cocky; I have no intentions of doing this again.

hi guyz
/me is on call this weekend. which means reading cases from home 7a-5p both days. I shall also attempt to squeeze in "10 hours" worth of extra outpatient moonlighting cases, which I'll draft (but not release into the ether) and then sign from 5-10 pm on these days. because this will earn me $$$$.

Nice waking up to this view even if it's 34F outside. Espresso, eggs bacon will be followed by fly fishing on the river all day
gray and damp here. went to the dump. going to see some family friends, grab some lunch, short hike, then into town to see my mom and get sone groceries. woo hoo.
Coffee. Nothing of note on tap today. Probably spend the day in the pool, possibly some bike maintenance.
68mi out and up mount waluigi. I’m fucking toast. I know some of you guys climb everything everywhere but shit, 5100 ft of vert And I am le tired

It's hot. Gonna bail on xc nationals because heat and humidity and forecasted afternoon storms. Also I have been informed by the spouse that the grass is unacceptably long.
Managed to corner and grab the 2nd chipmunk (No fingers lost...Sq-Earl and I had oven mitts on) and threw it out of the house last night. Got a taco/donut box from a local place and margaritas last night too...yum...10/10, would order again.
Coffee followed by picking 10lbs of blueberries and now I am working on readying the camper for our road trip to the Grand Canyon (after monkeyfest). Good times!

Gymnastics > shoe store > kids birthday party > swim school > costco > dinner for the kiddo and I while the wife is away.
Gunna be a rough one, but the wife has to attend her cunty friend's going away/ her kids birthday party and then a marching band dealio in Pasadena. They're moving to some nowhere city in Michigan from Santa Barbara because "It's more republican" but all the great attributes they list are super Liberal concepts, like universal school lunch, and cultural programs through the library. One day she'll come to the realization that she's not a Republican, she's just racist and likes suburban Michigan for it's lack of brown people. I offered to explain it at the party, and I think that's why I was tasked with staying home and handling kid patrol today. I think it would have been a fun little discussion.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, you've got a taco/donut place that also has booze and you didn't post their contact info?
It is very republican to demand services for yourself then scream socialism when it benefits someone else.
Our city/HOA is building a new $18mm senior center and people are losing their shit over it. The senior population here is going down, so "why are we waiting money on this when we're short schools and teachers? Plus we have a couple elementary schools closing? Why don't they just use those?" The concept of different entities (school district vs. city/hoa) seems to be beyond a lot of people.
The idea that the city/HOA should purchase one of the schools and remodel does seem to be a good idea to me. Save one aspect of the cost and it transfers funds to the schools, which need funds. But what do I know? I'm just a stupid liberal.
My aquabike race was good but not great. Doing the 24 mile ride on my road bike instead of my tri bike certainly cost me some time, but it was still a solid 19.1 mph (1600' of climbing). The first half of the bike course is downhill and I just couldn't crank it on my road bike like I could my tri bike. The road bike certainly climbs better but I still couldn't make up that lost downhill time on the climbs. There were people passing me on the downhills that would have no business passing me if I had my race bike. The one mile swim wasn't fast but was still good...I sighted well and didn't get beat up by other swimmers, which is good enough for me. I finished 6th overall in the race and won my age group.
I am not used to riding my road bike at a race effort. My butt muscles are sore as hell. My broken toe hurts too. Good thing I bought a pie.
MTB tomorrow!!

Only had time for a couple of hill repeats on the road for this mornings ride. Spent an hour wandering around at a campervan expo thing. Lots of silly expensive builds, but nothing that had a build that appealed.
Now groceries and waiting to see if storms hit us this afternoon.

Or how long after they move in before they see a blue sky again.I *HAVE* to know how they like their first Michigan winter.
Skeptics might point out that many things in the natural world don't fragment into cubes. Minerals such as mica, for instance, come off in flakes, whereas basaltic formations including the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland break into hexagonal columns.
That's because real materials are not like the idealized forms found in the team's simulations, says Douglas Jerolmack, a geophysicist at the University of Pennsylvania and co-author of the paper. They usually contain interior structures or properties that favor noncubic breakages. For example, mica flakes because it is weaker in one direction than in the perpendicular directions. "But in a statistical averaged sense, rocks are born as something that's a vague shadow of a cube," Jerolmack says. The findings, he adds, could help hydrologists predict fluid flow through cracks in the ground for oil extraction, or help geologists calculate the sizes of hazardous rocks breaking off cliff faces.
I got to have a banana, donut, a cup of coffee and pooped on a real toilet this morning. Great start to the day. Even had a little bit of cel coverage.
Tried to head down the mountain to water veggies for some friends, got stopped by emergency services for a crash of some kind on the windy mountain road. Hoping it wasn't a cyclist hit by a car. Now it's hailing at home...
edit: quarter sized for some of it...

Man. Tellement désolé.
Practice session was good for Haley. She fixed her lifting and early braking issues in one sector, and got her apex exit timing pretty solidly on time for the main apex she was told to focus on. That however led to her going it the s-turns at the end of the track a lot faster, so some hesitation there kept lap times from going down substantially. They are all consistently right at her prior PR level though, so it's clearly working already.
She came in early during her fourth session and damn if that wasn't the best call ever. As soon as she came in and we got her kart onto the stand, the drizzle started so we loaded up at full sprint. We did our fastest load ever (<5min) and got into the car right as the downpour started. The poor renters were all out on track when it started raining then hailing though. They were spinning and getting stuck, all while getting absolutely hammered by pea-sized hail and a huge downpour. And they kept doing laps! None came in; the track guys had to go tell them to come off track.
Edit: I thought it would be fun to put a motivational quote onto Haley's steering wheel, to see if it gives her some morning motivation. Today's was “If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you’re no longer a racing driver.” - Ayrton Senna. She really liked that one.
