@ChelseaParlett Spherical chickens in a vacuum are too expensive these days anyhow.

@ChelseaParlett @TonyPelleriti Pushed to absurdity, this line of thinking would lead to the world's only breakup ever justified by a diagonalization argument...

[David Failing @david_failing]

@ChelseaParlett To be fair, that was LAST week.

@ChelseaParlett Does the B stand for booooooo?

[David Failing @david_failing]

@ChelseaParlett Hope you and your pup had similar levels of "I'm doing nothing of substance" today.

@JWLevitt I got the Cedaero "Brake" wallet for a bikepacking trip and have used it ever since. I also own a Saddleback Front Pocket Leather ID Wallet that I've used since 2013.

[David Failing @david_failing]

@ChelseaParlett It brings value to me! But maybe not always to our clients...

@ChelseaParlett @grimalkina If by "crowd source" you mean "raise money to open one," I wish. Nearest real coffee is 20 minutes away by car, wish I could ride my bike there faster.

[David Failing @david_failing]

@ChelseaParlett @grimalkina @ChelseaParlett take me with you! Would kill for a local coffee shop here, but have to settle for the gas station or my own kitchen.

@msciguy @ChelseaParlett +1 to Burden and Faires - when I was slated to teach it, that's the book I was going to use (and is currently on my shelf? maybe? sold a lot in the move from faculty office to home office shelves).

[David Failing @david_failing]

@ChelseaParlett And now that I'm 3 hours from home... whoopsie. Numerical Recipes was the book I couldn't remember. Remind me to check my shelf at home for undergrad level texts too.

[David Failing @david_failing]

@ChelseaParlett Not yet. But you know how much free time I have for book readin'...

[David Failing @david_failing]

Hey @thefeedme, why am I getting the same canned response about your warehouse being moved and causing delays every time I contact CS, but your web site still promises (as it did when I ordered on 5/24) next day shipping? Not very confidence inspiring.

[David Failing @david_failing]

@Kyle_Ireton @ChelseaParlett @getrecast I know you now and I know @Kyle_Ireton, so I can confidently say he's not wrong. (A little late to the party on this thread but holy cow are we glad to have gotten you!)

@ChelseaParlett I can see it now in an update of my grad school real analysis text: "For epsilon greater than zero, a neighborhood of x is the set of all homies of x that are a distance no greater than epsilon from x."

[David Failing @david_failing]

@ChelseaParlett 1000x this.
