@CarterBWorth Can't imagine how many people in your family are named Carter or Braxton. Must make for some interesting family reunions!

@Tendar Nobody talks about Vicksburg because it was just a siege, but it was arguably more instrumental in winning the Civil War than Gettysburg. It split the Confederacy, choked a critical supply route, and got the brilliant U. S. Grant promoted to commander of the Union Army.

@francis_scarr Russia seems to have an obsession with British spycraft. Is that because of James Bond?

@PetrLazecky1 @officejjsmart You must not follow currency rates very closely. When a currency drops 2% in a single day, yes that counts as plummeting.

@QuantaMagazine The crazy thing is most numbers are transcendental rather than algebraic.

@social_brains I'd be interested to know how strongly wealth is correlated with intelligence.

A teenage sports team from the Almaty region was riding a bus in Pavlodar. A Russian speaking bus conductor has ordered them to speak Russian. In Kazakhstan! In response she got a rendition of the National Anthem. You can hear her complaining and threatening to kick them out.

@clarelark Russian idea of “nazism” is Kazakhs speaking Kazakh in Kazakhstan

@DennisR16379425 @MikeSington What part of "retired" is so difficult for you to understand?

@todayyearsold False.

Fun fact. At the point on Earth's surface at 0° latitude and 0° longitude (0°N 0°E, or in the Gulf of Guinea) is a location called "Null Island", but there's no actual island.

It is marked by a permanently-moored weather buoy

@Rainmaker1973 And the name of the buoy is "Soul buoy", named after the musical genre. 😆

@Michael_Khouw @OpenInterestPro Ok, ignoring the first line. It wasn't clear that the first line isn't part of the stanza.

@QuantaMagazine Really interesting question whether infinite numbers exist, e.g., do transfinite numbers exist?
