Это видео из моего предыдущего жилья в самый первый день снегопада.

А это чужое видео, как турецкий полицейский играет с местным жителем в снежки.

Компания Science & Global Security на базе Принстонского университета, которая публикует свой академический рецензируемый журнал по техническому анализу контроля над вооружениями, еще в 2019 выложили четырехминутный ролик с симуляцией возможного ядерного конфликта между Россией и NATO.

I decided not to wait for a Thanksgiving day to tell you that —

in English, it's called a "turkey",
in Turkey it's called a "hindi",
in Hindi it's called a "peru" —
although sometimes a "turkey" again, —
and in Arabic, it's called a "roman".

Look at this little lib called samila. It generates nice random pics with little or even no configuration. You can also use your own functions.

I have a feeling that somehow everybody has already seen it, but anyways.

Хороший план на день (из учебника турецкого языка).

а есть такая девушка, которая влюбилась в слайды и теперь скупает их везде и сканирует. причём принципиально рандомно

Девушка сканирует тысячи купленных у старьевщиков или умерших людей слайдов. Уже есть около 10 тыс., на очереди около 20 тыс.

2 thiefs have stolen a 17 jewels-type necklace.
One to the other: "Yo, wanna count the jewels and split them evenly?"
The other one: "Nah, let's construct 18-dimensional hypersphere to help us out"

Извините, я переиграла в "Papers, please". Очень впечатлило. (Сначала удалила, потом вернула, ахах)

В честь Паули назвали эффект, когда в чьём-то присутствии техника внезапно ломается:

“There was something about Wolfgang Pauli. From early on in his career, colleagues couldn’t help noticing that whenever he entered a laboratory, equipment spontaneously broke down. The Pauli effect, as it became known, was obviously impossible; it had to be just a matter of coincidence. But nevertheless it happened again and again.
There was the time, in the 1920s, that there was a massive equipment breakdown in a laboratory at the University of Göttingen, in Germany. Early one afternoon, without apparent cause, a complicated apparatus for the study of atoms collapsed. Pauli wasn’t even in the country. He was in Switzerland. At last said his colleagues, relieved, here was clear proof it couldn’t be the Pauli effect. The professor in charge of the laboratory wrote a humorous letter to Pauli to tell him about it. The letter was sent to Pauli’s Zürich address. After a considerable delay, a “letter arrived from Pauli with a Danish stamp on it. Pauli had been on his way to Copenhagen, he wrote. At the precise moment when the equipment broke down, his train had stopped for a few minutes at Göttingen station.”

[Здесь и далее цитаты из Arthur I. Miller, 137: Jung, Pauli, and the Pursuit of a Scientific Obsession]

Ещё ему приписывают очаровательное выражение «Это не только неправильно, это даже не дотягивает до ошибочного». Да и вообще уверенности в себе (по понятным причинам, он был экстраординарно умён) ему было не занимать.

"Around this time Einstein was to give an important lecture on relativity theory at the University of Berlin. Professors sat in the front row with lecturers and assistants behind them and the students at the back. Pauli, who was certainly not a professor and most probably still a student, chose to sit right in the middle of the front row dressed, according to one version of the story, in Tyrolean leather shorts. At the end of the lecture there was a hushed silence as the bearded professors in their starched white shirts and black ties decided who should ask the first question and what the order of precedence should be. Pauli sprang up, turned to face the audience, and announced with breathtaking chutzpah, “What Professor Einstein has just said is not really as stupid as it may have sounded.”

Мне ещё во втором отрывке нравится, как Миллер ввернул слово хуцпа.

И релевантное мне в Тбилиси, о Паули и вине:

“Physics was Pauli’s heart and soul. His physics research gave definition to his life and his fruitless attempts to solve the anomalous Zeeman effect, on top of what he regarded as his lack of success with the hydrogen-molecule ion and helium atom, began to take a heavy toll on his already fragile psyche. His early successes—his maiden papers on relativity theory—suddenly seemed in the distant past. He began drinking more and more heavily. “I have noticed that wine agrees very well with me,” he wrote to a friend. “After the second bottle of wine or champagne I usually adopt the manners of a good companion (which I never have in the sober state) and then may under these circumstances enormously impress the surroundings, particularly if they are women.”

А дальше там рассказывается, как днём Паули — почтенный профессор, а по ночам он ходит по барам и блядям.

“Much later, writing to Jung, he recalled “the complete split between my day life and my night life in my relations with women.”

Я вообще надеялась почитать, как Паули тусил и переписывался с Юнгом, и что из этого вышло — но пока еще не дочитала до этого. Will keep you posted

уверена, что все сто раз уже попробовали, но я, видимо, где-то потеряла тот факт, что теперь, когда листаешь научные статьи, необязательно читать даже абстракты — а можно читать только одно предложение, которое передает суть

господи, как офигенно

Хорошо получилось.

А вот это, кажется, уже убрали. Но оно там, видимо, было с 2016 года.

Оказывается, в service-terms AWS (это то самое соглашение, с которым все соглашаются и никто не читает) есть пасхалка про зомби-апокалипсис.
