PTCooler "OffTopic"

Have a blessed weekend. Hug the ones you love.     List all math jokes in order of length. Assume there is a largest math joke, L. Create a new math joke, J, by appending to L the joke about pirates. J is now larger than L, which is a contradiction. Therefor, the set of math jokes is infinite. Now, assume a good math joke, M. If M is a good joke, then it is funny. If a joke is funny, then everyone will know it. If everyone knows a joke, then the joke will not be funny. If a joke is not funny, then it is not a good joke. Therefor, if M is a good joke, M is not a good joke. By contradiction, there are no good math jokes. Therefor: There are infinitely many math jokes and none of them are good.

It happens very rarely to see phenomena like this in the latitudes where I live but this year is already the second time.   These are from last night.      

Heading up north this weekend for some recharge time.   Thinking of those who have been devastated by floods and winds from Hurricane Helene. Keep those people in your prayers that are: 1. Looking for loved ones. 2. Figuring out what is next in life because everything that defined it has been wiped out. 3. Rebuilding after the damage to house, vehicles, roads, infrastructure....   If you have been blessed, how can you be a blessing to those that are around you that are hurting.

Doing a some volunteering Saturday, so I have tomorrow off. Enjoy the weekend!! Be blessed (to be a blessing).       Did you hear about the man who died when the periodic table fell on him?     The official cause of death was exposure to the elements.

Chance of rain this morning. We haven't had rain in about 10 days. Close to breaking a record for the most consecutive days in the 80's in September (11 back in 1961 - the last great climate change year...). Be blessed.   Engineers are ambitiously lazy in that they design things to simply the work, multiply the work, or basically  reduce the work needed to get the job done. With that in mind: If laziness was an Olympic sport, I would come in 4th just so I wouldn’t have to walk up to the podium.

Have a great weekend. Be blessed. Be a blessing to those that are around you. Do something out of the ordinary to make another person's day     A handy man was hired to do some work around the house.   He was given a detailed list of things to be completed.   To my surprise when I checked on him later.   Only jobs 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, had been completed.   Turns out he only does odd jobs.

As my son mentioned last weekend we are entering the "burr" months: Septem-ber, Octo-ber, Novem-ber, Decem-ber.   House project dominating the weekend again with a little tech job also. Have a blessed weekend...       The formula to measure the area of a pun is length times wit.

I have the day off tomorrow for a 4 day weekend (with the Monday Labor Day Holiday in the States). Enjoy some time with the family and tackling some home projects - what about you?   With all the discussion about AI lately, here is one of grave concern...    

Schools are starting up. Sports are starting up. Chance to catch your breath this weekend. Be blessed.     What do you call engineers without a degree? Project managers                         

Trying to wrap up summer projects for the school year kicks in for other members of the family. By the way, where did summer go....     My friend asked me, “How many seconds are there in 6 weeks?” Excited that I knew the answer, I told him 10!

Again, a shout out to the US Coast Guard and the 100th Annual Coast Guard Festival in Grand Haven, MI. I will be out by the north pier most of the afternoon and catching the fireworks at night. Have a blessed weekend. Oh, by the way, how did it get to be August already....     If “UI” stands for “User Interface” & “AI” stands for “Artificial Intelligence”,   what does “II” stand for?   “Yes”

Have a terrific weekend. Enjoy the last Friday in July. This kicks off 100th Coast Guard Festival for Grand Haven, MI. It goes all week long. Parade of Ships is Monday @ 1:00 pm. Looking forward to hangout out with family next week Saturday and then watching the fireworks at night.   Honey dew list this weekend. Be blessed.       A mathematician had to move to a new place.   His wife didn't trust him very much, so when they stood down on the street with all their things, she asked him to watch their ten trunks, while she got a taxi.   Some minutes later she returned.   Said the husband: "I thought you said there were ten trunks, but I've only counted to nine."   The wife said: "No, they're TEN!"   "But I have counted them: 0, 1, 2, ..."

Company heading home today. Time to get back in the groove of summer. Have a blessed weekend. Hug the ones you love. Time together is precious.       Why won’t Goldilocks drink a glass of water with 8 pieces of ice in it?   Because it’s too cubed.

Godspeed to you Corey, Hero to your family and Hero to your community.  A full and moral life, taken too soon.  You will be missed...😢   Best wishes to the former President and those others injured on a fast, and full recovery.

Several families get togethers this weekend - family in from Houston, from Kentucky and from South Carolina.    4 1/2 (5) quart pails of blueberries picked last night. Blueberries on my Rice Chex for breakfast this morning. I see my favorite no bake blueberry pie in my future!       The “H” in ENGINEERING stands for Happiness!

For those in the US, stay safe and enjoy your Independence Day celebrations.     Husband to Wife about the purchase of fireworks:   It’s not just setting money on fire…   … it explodes too!!!

Hope you have a great weekend. For some it's the beginning of the Independence Day Holiday week. If that is you, enjoy your time off. Be safe.   The days are starting to get shorter in the north. On evening walks with my wife I enjoy the beautiful sky colors in the evening. Bright and brilliant fading into calm midnight blues.     Chemist: Hey, CE look at this cool pop I get when I forget to cool this mixture ....   Chemical Eng: OH NO!!!!   RUN!!!!

Be blessed on this first full day of summer. Yesterday at 4:50 p.m. EDT the sun started it's long journey south again. Any big plans for the summer? Staying cool? (Heat wave in the northwest US)     What do you get when you cross a mosquito with a mountain climber?   Nothing! You can't cross a vector with a scalar.

Have a great weekend. Enjoy time with your father if you get the chance (Father's day this Sunday in the States). Be blessed. Maybe even share a dad joke or two... if they laugh, it may not be with you, but at you.  🙂       I was wondering why music was coming from my printer….     Apparently, it was jamming.

Have a blessed weekend. 

Do you ever have mornings (or weeks) where your work takes a left turn 5 minutes into the day? Embrace the opportunities... Be blessed.   You might be an engineer if:   You window shop at Radio Shack. (You’re old engineer if you remember Raido Shack)   You've already calculated how much you make per second.   You've tried to repair a $5 radio.  

Have a great weekend. Mixed weather here this weekend. Join us for Breakfast at the Beach on Memorial Day. 9:00 am by the channel, Holland State Park. https://www.michigandnr.com/parksandtrails/details.aspx?id=458&type=SPRK   What are you plans this weekend. (Long weekend in the States.)     You might be an engineer if:   You look forward to Christmas, so you can put together the kids' toys. You think that people yawning around you are sleep deprived. You see a good design, and have to change it. You spent more on your calculator than you did on your wedding ring.

Sketchup has been OK to work with, but Qualcomm has some kind of license for Creo, so I'm asking IT to get me going here.

Half way through May. Where is 2024 going? Enjoy time with the ones you love this weekend. Did you do anything special for your mother last weekend?       You might be an engineer if:   You can quote lines from any Monty Python movie.   You sit backwards on Disney rides so you can see how they do the special effects.   You have saved every power cord from all your broken appliances.   You know what http:// stands for.

I've got a bunch of splitting to do this weekend. What's on your to do list? (Or honeydew list?)     You might be an engineer if:   You take a cruise so you can go on a personal tour of the engine room.   In college, you thought Spring Break was metal fatigue failure.   The salespeople at the local computer store can't answer any of your questions.   At an air show, you know how fast the skydivers are falling.
