I guess it is fitting to mention the famous Wandsworth Constant (first 30% of the video can be skipped).
In seriousness, having had some exposure to the Langlands program (through the wonderful Love and Math by Frenkel), I was counting the minutes to hear about it.
I found the video to have a great layman explanation of what it is about.
Yes, this happens to me too. I can get maybe a maximum 15-20 minutes of increased cognitive performance after ingestion. Once that is over I become lethargic and afterwards a bit irate since my concentration dips.
It bothers me that people like Warren Buffet can go along their day ingesting copious amounts of coke normal and sweets and still be a functional productive human being.
That’s going to take a while to process for me. Have tried to be an active user since 2014 and whenever I have something of value, it’s already been expressed better by someone else.
It’s a funny title. Both bonds and sports can be the verb. I’m assuming most people read the verb as Sports vs Bonds:
- Why Losing _Bonds_ Sports Fans: why when your team loses you strengthen your affiliations to your team.
- Why Losing Bonds _Sports_ Fans: why throwing away good money on bonds is popular (I have no background to decide why bond investing in bonds might be a good or bad idea).
This reminds me of Venezuelan’s use of `vaina` (literally a husk), an all-purpose catch word that I’ve seen used to supplant other words/concepts that you don’t have at the tip of your tongue. In my native Spain I see people use `historia` (history).
It’s not a substitute of shit, thing, and stuff, since it can be used alongside these words and you can bring the `vaina` to the `vaina`.
Maybe the weirdness of `jawn` is it's not a word on its own therefore it cannot cause confusion?
