I’ve recently been conversing with a couple of students that I had during the Covid year. Both are in engineering at The Ohio State University. I had both when they were juniors in Physics, and again, as seniors in AP Physics 2. Since I knew them prior to the Covid year, I didn’t need to introduce myself. For students with whom I was not acquainted, it seemed important to produce a video that gave them some sense of Physics and how I approached the course.

An award-winning Harvard Business School professor and researcher spent years exploring the reasons people lie and cheat. A trio of behavioral scientists examining a handful of her academic papers concluded her own findings were drawn from falsified data.
We spent three days at Pier-Lon campground. It’s on the West side of Medina, so pretty close and not far from I-71 so easy to get to. Pier-Lon has a lot of green space, play ground and full setup for $50 per night. There is a big pond with a beach and is a great place for kids. Alcohol isn’t permitted, so it is setup as a family destination.
Why are so many young men so angry online?
This article isn’t likely to suggest anything that will actually help men.
One Piece is really entertaining. Yeah, everybody says that, but I was surprised. There are a few anime series I like, but it’s usually the silly stuff. I wouldn’t watch One Piece, Cowboy Bebop or Dragon Ball Z as anime. Making an anime into a TV show is even less likely to work out. The trailers weren’t enticing. I thought it would be some sappy Mexican kid moping around.
My apple trees really came through this year. As I was picking them, Sparky decided to get in on the action. He likes the idea of apples, but doesn’t actually eat them.
Most of the apples will go to feeding the deer, but some looked so good, I’m making apple butter.
I get that “judgement free zone” is supposed to mean that a pudgy dotard like me won’t feel intimidated by the fit young people, but I am judging people all over the place. I respect the chunky rascal on the treadmill, trying to get hammered into shape. I appreciate the crotchety bastard who just finished the rehab regiment after cardiac surgery. He can’t lift much, but he’s lifting. It’s the other people.
I am voting for Vivek Ramaswamy for president because his wife works at The Ohio State University and he is from Cincinnati.
Is he qualified? Who cares?
Current trends are expected to continue. At 40 years old, hitting the gym gets you results. At 50, you’re attempting to slow the decline. At 60, you hope to retain full functionality. At 70, you’re just plugging leaks. If you are over 40, whatever shape you are in today, is probably the healthiest you will ever be. It’s like this scene from Office Space.
Prior to reading any analysis, here’s my take on the Republican presidential debate:
