Woodworking! Yes, you can obviously spend lots of money on equipment, but you'd be surprised by how nice furniture you can build with just a track saw and a trim router.

I frequently dream about having an upcoming quantum physics exam which I have not studied for. It's 12 years since I handed in my master's thesis and got my engineering degree.

Am I normal?

When a toddler is finally all dressed up and ready to go, they invariably suddenly need a diaper change. Is it the same with your wife?

Louis XVI was prosecuted and found guilty of high treason and crimes against the state by the National Convention during the French revolution, so it does happen from time to time.

a human produces 1.35 deaths per 100M miles driven

My car has been driven around 100k miles by a human, i.e. it has produced 0.00135 deaths. Is that like a third of a pinky toe?

That doesn't help much if your country has shut down FM broadcasting though.

Lol no, I know better than trying to be sarcastic online, I was making the same point as you (although less eloquently). Wholeheartedly agree with what you said!

Still talking about R

To be fair, I haven't seen that much talk about R over here, I think most people have moved on to Python or even Matlab.

Barely an inconvenience.

E.g. I have a plethora of grapes. We should stop using the term plethora because they could just say “a lot.”

That reminds me of the old joke:

A widow was holding a funeral for her husband, when a man asked if he could say a word. "Of course" said the widow, so he stood up and exclaimed "plethora!". The widow replied "thanks, that means a lot".
