Endless Ends

[Endless_Night]

In the last few days:

-girded big girl loins
-emotional meltdown
-frantic agricultural deadline
-saved from agricultural tax crises
-EPIC emotional breakthrough
-significant change in a relationship

Bit of a roller coaster but I am in a surprisingly good mood. So much so, that I bought myself a new card case.

Okay. Two card cases.

Okay. And a casual purse.

Like business card cases? Or more like…Magic the Gathering or Pokémon card cases?

Somehow neither of those seem like Enny things

I had no idea there'd been a squabble about who invented calculus between Newton and Liebniz. Complete with a book of letters compiled by Newton, purporting to settle the matter of who came up with the concept first.

Newton even wrote a review.

Of his own book.

Here I thought only biological science academics got all petty and full of ego.


The things one learns on the internet.

It’s a huge thing! It may have changed but when I was an undergrad, physicists still used Newton’s notations in a lot of situations even though Leibniz’s are generally clearer and better.

So many ups and downs in one week ? With or without alcohol intake ?

I love me some “notsalmon”.

I have my own Magic the Gathering deck, I'll have you know. And, I've bought a couple of Pokemon card cases.

Okay, so I have a deck, but have never actually learned to play. And it is possible the Pokemon card cases were not for me.

Somehow neither of those seem like Enny things

*flips hair*

Like business card cases?

Yes. I like to use one as mini wallet for errands and shopping. Just big enough for driver's license and a few other cards.

My preference is sleek and magnetic closures, though this little number by Kate Spade amused me the other day. I am always mislaying things. This, I would not lose.

No alcohol was involved. Sadly? Not sadly? I'm not sure.

I was unfamiliar.

Now I am not.

 

[Endless_Night]

Pond, contouring, seeding, matting, stapling.

ALL FINISHED

*melts into a puddle*

May I never have to shovel dirt again. Thank goodness for male muscle. I freely admit I would never have managed this on my own.

(See, you fellows are good for something. )


It's also possibly I've expired from heat exhaustion and my body/brain has yet to make the connection.

Still the path and some rock work to do, but it may be a bit before I venture back out into the mid-90 + humidity heat.

I am such a delicate flower.

(Note that rose is wilting from the heat.)

It’s a huge thing! It may have changed but when I was an undergrad, physicists still used Newton’s notations in a lot of situations even though Leibniz’s are generally clearer and better.

Oh! I thought they said that Leibniz's notations were the ones used, being both clearer and more elegant. Maybe I misheard. I will go back and watch again.


(Imagine. Reviewing your own book. )

Leibniz’s are more widely used and are way better. But physicists stick with their boy. It’s silly but it was true, at least 30 years ago *sigh*

You'd think clarity was important in facilitating the work and elegance would add to the enjoyment.

But what do I know.

Nothing.

 

[Endless_Night]

Oh! Oh!

One of the many weird things purchased since leaving city life for the pastoral. A tamper.

I think this may possibly increase my market value.

In their defense, it’s used mostly in kinematics where it’s a bit easier to write and decipher. But I’m still sure it’s mostly stubborn man pride

Physics, I see.

This is about the point where the conversation goes *whoosh* right over my head.

Oh! Oh!

But another tidbit I recently stumbled across is the coin rotation paradox! Mind blown.

No, Really.

No, Really.

Definitely one of those things where the math is pretty simple and clear and shows how bad our intuition about some things really is

I love this one too.

What fascinated me was that depending on the wording of the question there could be three different answers!

-the extra rotation due to moving along the coins circumference.
-the expected rotational set, using the coin's perspective.
-using astronomical revolutions.

Simple math, okay. Crazy stuff to us math challenged souls.

I love this one too.

The best - or possibly worst - part of this link is second link under See Also that takes you to a page full of paradoxes.

Rabbit Hole.

 

[Endless_Night]

Also, I was assaulted by bees today whilst out in a wooded area.

Bumble bees, I think.

This is not a good time.

You don’t go down a literal rabbit hole silly!

But hope you’re okay!

 

[Endless_Night]

Believe me, if would have removed me from the bees' collective fury, I might have found a way to burrow down a literal rabbit hole!

Two somewhat uncomfortable strings, but otherwise fine.

Thank you for asking.

It seems Popeye has entered public domain.

Naturally there's been a rush to make horror movies.
Naturally I've been wading (or trying) to wade through.
Naturally this has been a somewhat painful endeavor.

-Shiver Me Timbers!
-Popeye the Slayer Man
-Popeye's Revenge.

In my considered opinion, these three movies alone are an argument for forever copywrite.

Why do I do these things to myself?

 

[Endless_Night]

Things learned within the last ten days (or so):

1) You know how I regularly question how women leave urine on public toilets?

-Well, one way is to take a toddler to the bathroom who insists on standing on the seat so he can pee standing up like the big boys.

2) I am bee averse.

3) Children are smarter than I.

-As I stumbled for wording simple enough to explain kinetics and the first law of motion to the family nine-year-old - he explained it to me. And his younger brother.

Not disturbing. Not at all. Nope.

 

[Endless_Night]

I received a package today. No note. No return address.

It contained a book. A first edition.

Signed.

One of the few I don't have by that author, which indicates a certain personal knowledge.

I have zero idea of a possible sender.

This is a very awesome mystery

Maybe?

I still have no idea of the sender. Or any idea who lives in or near the originating zip code. Or who knows me that well and has this address.

 

[Endless_Night]

Two hours driving in the unrelenting sun and heat.

*flump*

Clearly the only cure is watching Ice Sharks!

I love this movie.

(The scientists throw themselves about to simulate the building being knocked about. )


I swear, I'm going to start spending the summers elsewhere.
