Crap I’ll never be able to slide that into a casual conversation.
Not with that attitude!
That would be a highly specific casual conversation!
Well you could just lie when someone asks what you do for work and say:
“I’m a mathematician actually. I spend the vast majority of my time working with the Cox-Zucker machine.”
“You would know”
“Hell yeah I would”
“What”
“What”
It’s always neat reading an article where I can pinpoint the exact moment it goes over my head. In this instance, everything before “torsion” makes perfect sense, and everything afterward is witchcraft and I will be testifying against Cox and Zucker at the trial
I explain it to you, just stand here and look through the hole…
Five years later? What a half-fast attempt at a joke!
The absolute madlads
OG madlads right there
Well this is the most New Jersey thing I’ve seen today.
