The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

You have to show your work, dcp.

I guess I should have put in the t kidding t /kidding tags.

Okay, here's how it works out for a 100kg person and a 10 gram marble:

Period = 2 * π * (a^3/2) / (G*(M₁+M₂))^1/2

Period = 2 * π * (1.524^3/2) / ((6.67259*10^-11)*(100+.01))^1/2 = 144707 seconds

144707 seconds = 1 day 16 hours 11 minutes 47 seconds.

edited to play with t sup and t sub tags.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I got a french press! And a travel mug! And some coffee! And it was only about twenty euro. I am so ridiculously pleased. Also, the battery for my ipod came, so I will be able to listen to music more than twenty minutes a day! And I get real food to eat! Today has been awesome.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I want SA's day.

Period = 2 * π * (1.524^1.5) / (((6.67259*(10^-11))*(100+.01))^.5) = 144707 seconds

144707 seconds = 1 day 16 hours 11 minutes 47 seconds.

I love this place.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think my awesome is in back order.

But the massage I had yesterday was good. It looks like I'll work myself up to the same point of shoulder pain by the end of today, but at least I had some respite.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

When he says "How can I explain this without losing it?" when he's asking me to prepare a draft of a document for which he later admits I don't have the information to even start...it's more than just his way.

I guess it wouldn't be appropriate to answer "bearing in mind the number of techniques I know for inflicting injury should help with that," eh?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When he says "How can I explain this without losing it?"

OK, seriously? Is he on the verge of hormonally-induced tears? Because, SERIOUSLY.

I just sent out something that was very late and kind of fucked up. This is actually a personal victory for me, because it's the kind of thing I would have just avoided forever in the past, until it turned into a huge issue.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Because, SERIOUSLY.

Really! How in any way is that professional behavior? Dude needs some help with anger managment.

OMTG, not only was the thing I just sent half-assed, I sent the wrong version! Luckily, I was sending it to an assistant who I'm hoping will take pity on me.
