Not that I recommend, but I'm around the first value. I indeed live on light in the summer.

well Christmas before next summer! ;-) but thanks for another data point in the Schwarzschild-radius database!, if had time should make an app.

Your cats are home alone while you are night club-hopping and getting astrophysical with ladies of a questionable Schwarzschild radius. What kind of a father are you? I'm contacting the Norwegian RSPCA...

I'm faintly reminded of a conversation that supposedly took place in a La Jolla cafe in the early 90's between Clive Granger, Rob Engle and Hal White. It touched on standard deviations, fat tails, co-integration, and the relative merits of heteroscedastic vs homoscedastic assumptions when dealing with models. An elderly lady stood up and, as she was leaving, turned to them and said: "I heard the whole thing, and it was disgusting!"

Good laugh at this one today:

“No, we won't. We're not negotiating with a bunch of stoned bunnies, but with a very rigid, inflexible bureaucracy working on behalf of 27 nations, some which don't like us, a lot of them don't give a fig's leaf about our problems, and only a few are sympathetic to us.

At this point, it's either something close to this deal, no deal or revoking Article 50. Take your pick.”

- I Say Moo, UK and EU thread

Clearly spoken by someone who has no idea what it is like to negotiate with a stoned bunny.

Better stick with amateur political commentary, bro.

I was under the impression that stoned bunnies were easy, but this may be a ymmv situation.

Depends on the bunny and how you define "easy."

It might remind you of a bunny:

And some of the fairer sex should spend time appreciating good champagne, WH on the gramophone and the smell of a good pipe.

Can you recommend any good champagne, Rmax? Because the best I've had tasted and smelled like burnt apple juice. It was also misadvertised as brut. I prefer Spanish cava.

Yes, no question.  Nice to see you, rmax.

k - here is the champagne I had for New Year's - recommended by the store specialist.  A split was enough for two nights - about 3 glasses and I thought it was pretty nice.
