That sounds about right, yeah. There is much less math in medicine and I am very happy about that.

Because you make the nurses do it…

awww, you didn't want to learn and forget the Krebs cycle like 47 times?

Transferring my phone number to a new provider has been the most painful experience I’ve endured this year - and this is the same year my knee went out. Jesus Christ, it should not take me almost 12 hours to get this resolved.

Anywho, what’s happening, gang? Anyone got some big New Years plans?

May be heading into Boston for First Night.

Hockey game for New Year’s Eve. Fireworks in the arena after the game. Then hopefully dinner at Cheesecake Factory after.

Oh damn. Thermodynamics was one very good reason NOT to specialise on energy engineering!

Yeah. Couldn't get through the 2 first years completely without, but I really was happy to get rid of it then.

(Then again, already 1 course in biochemistry and 1 in microbiology made me reject another speciality, which would have been closely related to my major - not interested in the soul life of microbes...)

I also did not want to work with any kind of bio stuff

 

[MedicalMuse]

Working the day tomorrow, night off. People coming to hang out. Smoking a turkey

Does Boston do regular first nights? We have a first Friday art night near me and it is so much fun!

I think Boston originated First Night. It’s been going on here for forever!

Well then I thank the fine city and you as it’s proxy.

Sadly no big plans this year, so just going to relax and have a drink or two if I'm feeling up to it.

So many smart people!!

I’ve been so pleasantly surprised by what the people of lit bring to the table. We’ve got school smarts, street smarts, lots of folks with high emotional intelligence. We all bring a wonderful collection of talents

I’ll probably stay in but I might hang out with some friends if there is good music playing. Only real plan is that I have to jump in the ocean at midnight(or closely right after).

 

[Azuldrgon]

My plans include staying in.
Nothing really going on.
The Space Needle will probably have the decorative firework lights this year, but I am not sure.

Guessing jumping in the ocean is some form of tradition for you?

Thermodynamics.

My username is an acronym from a Robert A. Heinlein book (Time Enough For Love) that stands for "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch"...which is, in my Mechanical Engineer's mind the most concise statement of the Second Law of Thermodynamics I know.

And TANSTAAFL is a better username than dS>0.

Yes, it is. It is something my friends and I have been doing for years. A quick dip.

Just working most of it—short on microbiologists just like erryting everywhere else. Pay makes it bearable.

Polar Bear plunge

I have two typical male questions to ask about this.
1) bathing suit or skinny dipping?
2) if bathing suit are you going to snap pics and share later as a bit of a tease

 

[VoraciousValue]

Plenty of fun things here in D.C. for New Year's. I will probably be in bed, as staying up even till midnight is a lot harder than it used to be. That and I try to go nowhere near downtown during big events.

Also, I've been slightly under the weather since yesterday morning. Coughing and some mild laryngitis. Negative COVID test, so at least it's not that.

My wife does that as well!

We will be naked. We will probably be a little drunk. There may be photos. They won’t be posted. Lol

Since it's year's end: Chaos, what are you most proud of this year?

Me: I'm down 25 pounds and feel so much better!

I'm simultaneously satisfied by this knowledge and the tease it provides, while disappointed at the lack of more photos of you in swimwear.
