Benedizione Vita: haha why so?

doug Sosa: all puffed up while you edit appearance..

Benedizione Vita: ah I see

Benedizione Vita: yes, I got a haircut today, so I need to adjust

doug Sosa: I see from your profile a tendency towards mixing oldstories and new ones. Italo Calvino?

Benedizione Vita: I am not sure what my profile here says any more hahaha

Benedizione Vita: what does italo calvino mean?

doug Sosa: great modern italian short story writer, blends old a and new sensibilities.

Benedizione Vita: ah I see

Benedizione Vita: do we have a guardian?

doug Sosa: no.

Benedizione Vita: I was only stopping in for continuous presence

Benedizione Vita: I am contemporaneously doing classical electrodynamics in RL

doug Sosa: o, hamiltonians and laplace tranforms..?

Benedizione Vita: my bread and butter, of late :)

doug Sosa: gott make those electrons dance properly.

Benedizione Vita: yes, if they stop I'm in trouble

Benedizione Vita: haha

Benedizione Vita: though if I don

Benedizione Vita: don't invoke qm they will decay into the nuclei

doug Sosa: i sometimes thought god took care of the electgrons, and left the rest up to us :)

Benedizione Vita: hahaha not a bad thought

Benedizione Vita: thats a somewhat more subtle version of the clockmaker model

doug Sosa: god didn't accept the assignment, ..
