teledyn ๐5 second rule for fridge doors:
If you still don't know what you wanted, what you wanted was water.
Richard Eriksson@teledyn Invariably for me, though: What I wanted was in the dryer.
@sillygwailo I'm actually noticing more and more such concept crossovers. Grounds go into the FILTRE receptacle, not the target CUP receptacle.
@teledyn If I canโt find my glasses, I always check the fridge. โDonโt rule out the fridge until youโve looked thereโ is a longstanding policy of mine.
@sillygwailo a friend of my parents would keep her wallet in the fridge, because her puppy would chew it if he found it. We often teased her about having cold cash ๐
The more I consider it, keeping reading glasses in the fridge would often be useful; anywhere else they'd be likely hidden under something the boys put down. Horizontal surfaces in our house have a massive gravitational constant.
@sillygwailo besides, the predictive quality of Feynman's sum of all possible histories makes any obscuration or container of comparable size a prime candidate! ๐
Y'know, some folks get upset when I invoke Feynman to excuse my senility ๐
Thing is, I can remember Feynman but don't recall if I locked the back door ๐
โฆ and been that way since I was twelve ๐
@teledyn Well, I subscribe to the Julian Barbour theory of time, which seems compatible with that of Douglas Adams, that itโs an illusion. Barbourโs theory seems somewhat compatible with Feynmanโs multiple (infinite?) histories, but itโs ultimately unknowable which one weโre in (because we canโt know what the other timelines are), so we should still not use that as an excuse to let each other off the hook when we cause harm.
@sillygwailo Hawking just collapsed all the multiverses, brilliantly I think. Just finished On the Origin of Time, it's wonderful, and Feynman is at its core. ๐ Also Lamaitre which is kind of nice too, like when Copernicus was no longer a dirty word.
@sillygwailo aha! Empirical proof, we found Nolan's must-have gold bling chain mere seconds before the band had to scoot for call, from glacial kitchen table pilings, said chain was on the floor, just beneath the table's farthest edge.
Sumana Harihareswara@teledyn Interesting! Thanks! I'll try this.
