love D’ Orsay, so much notable art and a reasonable size
Lourve is so big and crowded, you need to target what you want to see, or spend a lot of time
first time I went we paid for museum pass. Just having it, we visited many smaller museums or churches we wouldn’t have paid 5 or 10E each. but some hidden treasures
also, many lessor know are now popular, check if you need to book things in advance if you are interested.
who’s driving that thing, Shackleton???
Spain is pushing through a social media ban for under 16s as well. This looks like a trend that will continue around Europe now.
I have too many email accounts to track. One that i use (5% is worth seeing the rest is shit) if i miss clearing it, it piles up fast.
So i was deleting stuff today and got mad at the lagginess of the app. Clicked somewhere to delete all and…like 11,000 emails all got deleted. Clear back 5.5 years. That was more than i expected but then i though, who cares?
Other than sone legacy stuff that might make me laugh, i bet there is nothing in the emails that are still in there that old. What could be in there that i actually need?
How do you sunset one that you have used so much? Wont the next one i use for subscriptions also eventually pile up?
I have occasional fights with my gmail account to clear out old stuff and unsubscribe from junk. It does a pretty good job categorizing junk promotions and social media updates into their own folders that are easy to ignore and delete all occasionally. I’m down to about 10 emails a day that I mostly dont read, but many of them are notifications from utilities, financial companies, and health insurance. I have 75% of my allocated space used up. I was in the high 90s for a while before going through my photos that were backing up to the account. Just lots of junk to manage.
No good suggestion other than some regular maintenance is needed. I joined gmail back in the early days when it was invite only beta and grabbed a proper account name, so I want to keep it. It is doable to keep a single account long term…its been over 20 years now for mine.
I made some ginger cookies and froze them because they would probably go stale before I ate them all.
So anyway, that was a lie.
there are a lot of people in the world.
you think there’s a lot where you are, when it’s like 10,000 at a sporting event, but that’s miniscule compared to a city, which is like 1,000,000, so a hundred sporting events.
But that’s ridiculously small compared to a reasonably-sized country, which is like 50 to 200 of those millions.
And then you get to continents.
And then the whole human population.
Not to mention birds! Trees! Dogs! Fish! Plankton! Gut bacteria!
there’s a lot of everything.
…
I gotta go lay down.
Sounds like the ~90 billion neurons in your noggin were really working overtime there.
I’m tutoring someone in statistics tonight.
Student: I am looking to find someone who knows hypothesis testing and a range of distributions as well …
Me: I might be able to help you. I have taught introductory statistics courses at the college level and also know the basics of doing hypothesis testing using the capabilities in Excel. I’m not sure what you mean by a range of distributions, some clarification on that might be helpful.
Student: I do have Excel on my computer. As far as the statement goes I was just agreeing with on the other distributions, chi-square, normal distributions, Poision , t-test, z-test, and others. I too have taught a statistics class at the freshman level,
My usual thought about the US population is that all I need to do is figure out some stupid low cost invention that if I could just convince 1 out of 100 people to purchase, and make a buck off each item, boom - 3.4 million in my pocket. Something small that only costs 10 bucks.
Seems an odd thing to be keeping an eye out for lizards tonite, but who am I to argue with an official lizard warning.
I drove to Toronto and back last night to pick up my son and his GF from the airport. Top 5 worst driving conditions in my life. It was bad, I almost turned around.
And we watched some idiot almost kill a couple of folks. Accident, car to the side, another car parked in the left lane. I got over a lane, the guy behind me hammers it, then he brakes so he doesn’t hit the car in the lane, and….black ice. Things went sideways for a few seconds. He got lucky, he recovered and didn’t hit anything.
times like those I would have booked them an airport hotel for the night
yeah I almost called it.
but instead I just slowed the heck down and took my time.
There’s no Winter Olympics ‘26 thread.
I miss the days of Potaculars. I liked meeting you people and wish I could meet more.
Lsat night I was thinking about the AO and the Nashville Potacular.
