SMU has been working to save energy in the wake of triple-digit temperatures. This has been my office temperature since those measures went into effect. I am _super happy_. Office is not freezing, and the vents are not whooshing constantly at loud levels. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1169998430229258240/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/61129 -

A small lesson in how modern technology will betray you if you are not wary. In special relativity, you often have to compute some function of the ratio of an object's speed to light-speed. This ratio gets small,... https://www.instagram.com/p/B1_Xf7yH0j_/?igshid=1t7xsiyh6054e -
