To do something about the high price of gas, Germany has introduced a €9 ticket that lets you travel all around the country. Basically free transit for an entire month. I'm here for 3 days and bought one.

Suppose f is a real-valued function defined on the interval [a, b] and integrable in the sense of Lebesgue. Now suppose I was lying about that. Do you feel betrayed?

One person I feel who is insufficiently appreciated is Hadley Wickham. The results of his work are everywhere, every journal and conference I know. He changed the history of science.

At the breakfast bar and wondering if having everybody touch the same pair of tongs in the same place is proven to be better than having everybody simply pick up their own piece of bread
