Re: Scientific/Math Humor
Sci-fi. A bit of a stretch, but whatever.
May the gods preserve and defend me from self-righteous altruists; I can defend myself from my enemies and my friends.

yeah, a little education is a good thing, but too much makes people stupid.noddy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 4:33 amtruly an all time classic of dry humour.Colonel Sun wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2020 11:47 pmThe previous version missed the best part.

Me thinks Climate Scientists got too much education......
or possibly someone could run the numbers on what it would take to "slap some sense into them."
Re: Scientific/Math Humor
In the case of "climate scientists", one gets the impression that many of them skipped the courses on thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.Simple Minded wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 12:19 pmyeah, a little education is a good thing, but too much makes people stupid.noddy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 4:33 amtruly an all time classic of dry humour.Colonel Sun wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2020 11:47 pmThe previous version missed the best part.

Moreover, many are from a theoretical or computer science background with little experience in the analysis of experimental/observational data
and physical model validation.

I ran the numbers. Helicopter needs to gain another 150 feet of elevation before dropping the boot to successfully kill the tarantula. Sorry for the spoiler.Colonel Sun wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2020 11:45 pm Sci-fi. A bit of a stretch, but whatever.

yeah. Studying physics and thermodynamics deflates a lot of creative thinking. Computers are creative thinking force multipliers. Not to be confused with Multi-Pliers!Colonel Sun wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 11:58 pm

My favorite retort is "Before you get worked up about climate change, go out and buy two digital thermometers that read to 0.1 degree, and update once per second. Get them calibrated. Take one anyplace on Earth and observe it for a while. If you are sharp you will soon notice that any temp measurement that is accurate to 0.1 degree, is very short lived. Maybe a couple seconds. Now take both out. A sharp person will soon note that once they are more than a foot or so apart, they don't often agree within 0.1 degree. Now tell me how "Climate Scientists" are able to accurately measure the temperature of the Earth to within 0.1 degree. Are they measuring every cubit foot of the Earth every second and equally weighting all the measurements?"
They usually reply with "computers" or "satellites". Then I ask "So how did they measure the temp of the Earth accurate to within 0.1 degree 50, 100, 200, or 1000 years ago?"
The deer in the headlights look is always the response.

Re: Scientific/Math Humor
A Native American Chief had three wives, all of whom were pregnant.
The first gave birth to a boy.
The Chief was so elated that he built her a teepee made of deer hide.
A few days later, the second gave birth also to a boy.
The Chief was very happy.
He built her a teepee made of antelope hide.
The third wife gave birth a few days later, but the Chief kept the details a secret.
He built this one a two-story teepee, made out of a hippopotamus hide.
The Chief then challenged the tribe to guess what had occurred.
Many tried, unsuccessfully.
Finally, one young brave declared that the third wife had given birth to twin boys.
“Correct,” said the Chief.
“How did you figure it out?”
The warrior answered,
“It’s elementary.
The value of the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides.”

Not sure if this qualifies or not. Authoritarians, please verify or debunk.

Ahhhh, look at all the lonely users …
Ahhhh, look at all the lonely users …
Programmer Johnny,
Sits in his cube and writes programs for games
No one plays;
Long working days.
Nobody buys them,
They only try them and fry them and throw them away.
What can he say?
All the nerdy coders,
Where do they all come from?
All the burned-out testers,
How do they get along?
Ahhhh, look at all the lonely users …
echo ‘Ahhh’; who | grep -i lonely <CR/LF>
Busy compiling,
All the time whiling and tiling the pixels for graphs,
Nobody laughs.
Cute algorithming,
Functions are dithering, withering CPU time,
Ain’t it a crime?
All the lonely sales reps
How do they earn their dough?
All the crippled freeware,
Where does it finally go?
Ahhhh, look at all the lonely users …
echo ‘Ahhh’; who | grep -i lonely <CR/LF>
New MOTD,
vi + wq!; cat <filename> >>/dev/null,
(must have been dull)
Lost my PID,
ps -ef | grep <my username> | kill -9,
(life == !fine)
All the time spent coding
The app that no one knows.
rm -r | /myfiles
And now my tale is closed …
