it’s in the tweet hth

They say to be wary of Greeks bearing gifts, but I’m going to pass on that advice in this instance.

Man, this season has really started on a sour note.

Thanks! This was definitely not a discussion I thought I was going to have in the Deadspin comment section.

There is no paradox. The problem you’re having here is that you’re thinking that there’s something that you can get at beyond the description, but what you’re really doing is that you’re just privileging one description over another. Like, you talk about electrons and nuclei and repulsion and attraction as if these…

This description applies to both of these QBs and to McCarthy himself.

Yes, there are lots of complicated theories attempting to resolve this issue; some of those theories make use of constructs like extra dimensions and some don’t. There is no single consensus on what the right approach is.

I could explain but you won’t listen. You’re a deeply confused person, and you’re not interested in becoming less confused. If you were, you would drop your useless metaphors, pick up a copy of Griffiths, and get to work. Let me know if you decide to do that.

Yes, the hierarchy problem is a major problem in contemporary physics and there isn’t any solution as of yet. But that doesn’t mean what you think it means. Your metaphors are just the misguided ramblings of someone who hasn’t bothered to understand the field but thinks you can tell the experts what to do.

Okay, I got three years invested in Brett Hundley, two years invested in Joe Callahan

1. The problem with finding dark matter is that it’s... dark. It doesn’t interact electromagnetically. Which means that we can only find it via its gravitational signature, for example, in galactic halos. There are multiple lines of evidence that point to dark matter, from the rotational velocities of galaxies to the…

As a Californian (albeit an expatriated one), this is the correct take. In-n-Out is fine; it’s an ok fast food burger. The people who worship it are either stoners who never eat anything else or local tryhards. California has so much better food that if you’re a professional basketball player and you’re eating at…

As someone with an advanced degree in physics I can definitively tell you this is nonsense. Not that you’ll listen, but I’m telling you anyway.

Yes, being asked to contribute to the society that makes your wealth possible is “giving up everything.” If you’re moderately rich, you should be paying more taxes; barring that, I suggest you think about how to avoid the guillotines.

+1 stereographic projection

yeah, that’s actually from deuteronomy

well, he did crib his most famous line from god

I am a die-hard NBA fan, and I prefer the same thing!

There are some Buffalo fans who might be more qualified to say that.
