You need to be wizardmaxxing. You need to be searching through dark places for obscure arcana. You need to be growing out your beard. You need to be sending people on quests. You need to buy more books. You need to live in a tower. You need to be wizardmaxxing.

In Breaking Bad, Walter's ability to produce extremely pure meth is a major plot point. Do meth addicts really care about the difference between like 98% and 99.5% pure meth? Can they even tell the difference?

It's not like they're going to watch a youtube review and learn that Pollos Hermanos-brand meth has the highest purity.

I heard there was a secret cord That David made and displeased the Lord, But you don't really care for safety, do ya? Well it goes like this, a plug, a switch A circuit breaker open-hitched The socket catching fire, hallelujah.

Am I supposed to believe Gus hired Walter over Gale, and jumped through all the hoops that entailed, so he could increase his yield by a measly 3% (going from 96% to 99%)?

If "naan bread" is verboten because naan just means "bread", what should I call that particular type of bread? Clearly I can't call it naan, we've just established that means "bread", whereas I'm talking about a specific type of bread.

The ability to write LaTeX is the sign of a scholar. The ability to write LaTeX well is the sign of a wasted life.

Imagine spending several years in grad school, working long hours for no money to become an expert in an ancient culture, but it turns out every physical artifact of that culture was made up by one guy.

This isn't necessarily meant to be a rage bait post but I don't understand why 90% of the modern D&D art looks like this. They're always eating and laughing and dancing or frolicking indoors or in towns. Who finds this evocative or inspirational for high adventure?

Bernard Morin, a successful topologist who was part of the team that exhibited the first sphere eversion, was blind since age 6. Pretty incredible to do this sort of stuff with no visual aids at all. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_M…
