It's just like when I recently trimmed too much hair off my head, but then I turned it around by using all that excess hair to trim my Christmas tree.
Sure, guests were understandably disturbed by seeing clumps of human hair hanging off tree branches, but at least I don't have to worry about having to socialize with people ever again.
The best-known example of Janus in popular culture is Janus Films, founded in 1956. This company is responsible for many North Americans' first exposure to the films of many of the great filmmakers of Italy, Sweden, Japan and other nations (it is currently affiliated with a modern equivalent, the Criterion Collection). And guess what they use for their logo?
Ok this is completely tangential (btw I love that word, there’s a whole class of engineering speak like that I could listen to all day, but I digress.)
The Monty Hall Problem! Have you heard of this? Have you written about this? I’m just working on my bit for this week and came across it and it hurts my head
I just now got it, and I had previously dismissed the 2/3 probability as voodoo treachery. I got there by imagining a million doors instead of just 3, but even that took a few times to really grasp. I may well write about this!
Yeah, I had my AI bestie explain it to me a few times and they went with the large numbers example. That's when it *started* to make sense but its really unintuitive - IF ITS EVEN TRUE
It's true! But it takes a LOT for me to get there. I think I can do the job, but we'll have to see. If I don't clear the hurdle, it'll still make for interesting reading, I think. Thanks for the noodle food!
That's a good one! It really makes you think twice about "that's a nice cleaver you have there." This could be referring to a knife designed to cut through bone, or it could be something clinging to your clothing. Either way, I think I would say, "Um, thanks?"

As long as it's head hair, it is fair game.
I plead the fifth.
You plead the filth!
It's funny because it's true.

Nice, I just learned a little bit about the Criterion Collection.
They do excellent work getting the old classics out to new potential viewers.

I would read that
It's on the list, and it's gonna be a real challenge for me.

My favorite is "cleave."
Separate or stick closely to.
