my god do i love my luxury beliefs. i collect luxury beliefs like midcentury british women collected herm茅s scarves, they are some of my most prized possessions. here are a few of them
heard two ladies on the train lady 1 said she was planning on having a baby with her boyfriend as a commitment device lady 2 said that's directionally correct
we had a truss bridge building competition at the end of our statics class looking thru the rules i discovered winner be judged not on absolute weight carried but on weight divided by mass i submitted a single equilateral triangle and won by a landslide
Me and my husband once referenced the loamy soil triangle in the company of an environmental engineering student and he almost went insane trying to understand why we would have such a deep understanding of sands and silts
How to find a needle in a haystack: 1) become more magnetic 2) run your hands through lots of parts of the pile 3) shine a bright light 4) hone your eyes to see the glints 5) tell everyone you meet what a needle looks like and ask if they've seen one lately
Both of the two things I care most about achieving right now are needle-in-a-haystack search problems where I show up every day and have no idea if I'm staring right at the solution without recognizing it or if it doesn't exist at all. No feedback at all
