An engineer, a physicist and a mathematician were on a train entering France. The see a black sheep out the window.

The engineer says "Look! All sheep in France are black."

The physicists says "No, there's one black sheep in France."

"You are both wrong" says the mathematician, "There is a sheep in a field in France that is black on at least one side."

‪It is rather beautiful here in Oulu 🇫🇮, right now. Absolutely no filters needed at all 🤌
-20°C, wind chill -28°C.

This is one of our main cycling and walking routes (#8) and here we have a 5 km stretch with ZERO at-grade crossings with motor traffic. I repeat, it's physically impossible to meet any motor traffic here. So it is very peaceful, safe and comfortable to ride and walk completely uninterrupted. Just bliss.

A wee bit like squirrel cage HF antennae - measured for a particular frequency but the multiple conductors gave very wide bandwidth. But that only works at radio frequencies....

The Next Millennium Bug?

The epoch time (used as an internal clock in every computing system) will reach 9999999999999 on the 20th November 2286 at 5:46pm

Should we be worried?....

In my humble opinion if I need a nap then I take it, allowing my body to rest and my mind to process everything.
I feel better and more at ease with the world afterwards.
I struggle to see how that might effect long term health.

@IngridHbn
napping is good for my wellbeing ! ;)
