Is this the thread with all the math-friendly people?
I believe that's every thread.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I believe that's every thread.I frankly answered and then had to look up for a header. The "math-friendly" wasn't specific enough.
Buffistas will tend towards the math-friendly and the arguing over the serial comma. It's our thing.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
That's because math is SO COOL! And the serial comma is an element of dogma.

Math geek sense... tingling.
Mmm... math.
Shall we talk about the analytic and algebraic topology of locally Euclidean parameterizations of infinitely differentiable Riemannian manifolds?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Bozhe moi!
This...I know...from nothing. What...I'm going...to do?
I think of great Lobachevsky and get idea--Aha!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Base 8 is just like base 10, really...

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Holy Jebus. People randomly quoting Tom Lehrer. I feel truly and completely home.

Well, I was just going to post random mathematical jargon of my own devising ("whether the cardinal number aleph-one is equal to c, the cardinality of the reals, is undecidable in Zermelo-Frankel set theory"), but then I realized, why not Tom Lehrer?
Which, I think, is a query posed far too infrequently.
