H O N K

Welcome to one of the big unsolved problems in physics

Went to see Randall doing his book promo and being interviewed by Matt Parker (in the UK) recently and this was his exact position on it

The audience were not on his side 😆

When I started this company, I had only two things - a dream, and six million pounds

In the UK you can’t even buy that many at once 😆 without a prescription at least - paracetamol and ibuprofen are usually 16 per pack and they don’t let you buy more than one of each

In that picture? It’s a bee, contemplating leaping from the edge and ending it all after reading that article

“Jean-Luc, what have you done?”

Terrible coffee

Ooh neat, think that’s from the same root as troth/betrothal in English too, proto German for truth & fidelity

I get that, but also, it’s always seemed like the purpose of the ring is to signify the state of being, so engagement ring to show the state of being engaged, wedding ring shows the state of being married, or wed, I guess it works both ways

Not a strongly held view by any means 😆

French as well - le bague de mariage

We all have a bean hall in our houses, building regs say you have to

A man did this in London in 1810, but with everything - chimney sweeps, piano deliveries, priests, lawyers, coal carts, doctors, undertakers, the archbishop of Canterbury…

It brought the whole area to a standstill and the guy won a guinea in a bet and ran away to the countryside

Just awful, 10/10

On higher end ones maybe, but this works fine so idk - it’s conceivable they both use the same internals just with a different battery mounting geometry

If not friend why friend shaped??

A fire? At a sea parks?

Huge if true
