I was thinking all these years I was a dreadful physicist and was right to give up when i did, but then one of my old colleagues has been posting the following sorts of conundrums which have been troubling her on facebook:

If our universe were to travel at the speed of light from point A to B, or expand at the speed of light, would entropy slow down?



and

2nd question - if you have trapped an ion, using an electric field, within a chamber which it doesn't touch, would scales placed below the chamber measure the weight of the chamber only or chamber + ion?



what the hell is going on here, this person actually finished her phd



my wife works for a phd biochemist who doesn't know how to use a standard curve or do unit conversions. he owns the company and recieves government grants for drug testing lmao

consider getting a job in the ip sector, its a growth industry almost everywhere in the first world due to the necessity of extracting greater rents from a dwindling pool of marketable ideas, and the upside is that its basically morally neutral as nothing you deal with on a day to day basis will Actually Matter

Thats nothing. Once time I listen to a mitch headburg CD and he says "Tea Ski... what the hell kind of joke is that?" when he reads tea ski off his notes. Soon, he was dead of a drug overdose. But not before soaking up over 75k in govt grants... your tax dollars at work folks.

Help. Ive been attacked by a sentient idea. It was trapped for 10,000 years inside a reader's digest but I opened it to see what the ten tips about lethal household carpets were and it got out and bit me. Now every full moon I turn into either That's Outrageous! and let everyone know about the insane waste in our fed gov (nineteen dollars on pencil sharpeners? Each? That's outrageous!) or alternately become How to Increase your Word Power feat. only Killing Words.

I must say that I really regret having circulated the MH speaking fee gossip. I don't like him much, yeah, but I didn't want to drag Rachel Rosenfelt's name through the mud and I don't want people drawing grand conclusions about anarchism either. I'm not an anarchist, but it's an honorable position and there are many fine anarchists doing good political work. Sorry. A bad mistake.

I hire people regularly for not awful but not great jobs. My advice to everyone is lie, lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie. Make up prestigious jobs and references and have the numbers go to your friends. And if the person doesn't give you the job, ask for your information back because you don't trust them with the personal details of prestigious people. It really works

this only works with fake prestige btw, dont be stupid enough to put anyone actually prestigious down unless youre applying to some bushleague firm thats insecure about its lack of insider cred

i abandoned personal relationships in place of a steady career. Where once I was unemployed and directionless in capitalism but growing with another person, now I stand solitary. I have cut down the forest to pave a parking lot. I am self sufficient, but gay~

I started listening to standup comedy while i'm working and it really helps me get through the day. usually when im doing my work I always have like 2/3s of my brain concentrating on it and then the other third of my brain is always thinking something like "awwww fuck why is this stupid fucking fuck asking what i did this weekend, do you really wanna hear it you dumb fuck shit! no you dont! you dont give a fuck! youre just seeing how slow you can fucking talk to see how long this dumb fucking conversation can go on for".
but now when i listen to standup while im working the 1/3 of my brain is like " awww shit richard, i totally know what you mean. you my nigz"

So if you wanna get through work i recommend listening to stand up. or not working in an office. or not working at all. or killing yourself
