What helps to make my day:

- Usage of date format DD-MM-YY or YY-MM-DD #unambiguity
- Usage of a instead of yr - or even worth yrs - as unit of year #conciseness

Might sound like an academic problem, but when do you schedule a meeting on 04/03/24 or what means m yrs^-1 - m year per second?
😒

Writing a #LetterToEditor to "kindly ask" them to consider your science paper for publication in their journal is an hilarious task.

You need to carefully balance #Completeness, #Conciseness #Politeness and #ArseLicking by trying to convince them that your work is going to revolutionize Science. Every time. Big #Lol.

All of the above, preferably in just one single page, even if I always manage to exceed these limits and need two lines on the following page. #sigh

Time for another #Coffee

The hypothesis engine
Our brain is an autistic system that deals primarily with itself and what people perceive is not reality, but the confirmation of pre-dreamed hypotheses. https://www.vnzn.de/en/2023/01/23/hypothesis_engine/
