Yeah, finding a desktop digital clock in a Samsung S22 box on your birthday....

You ok mate?

I tried but failed to keep a smile on my face while I chewed that fork-full of NOT CHEESCAKE and swallowed.

At a Chinese restaurant in Vancouver, while out with the locals during a business trip, I took a forkful or some mystery minced green stuff. That was my introduction to wasabi! Thought I was going to die or vomit.

That's my attitude when I suddenly think of that clever response, unbidden, days after it could serve any purpose!

That's my attitude when I suddenly think of that clever response, unbidden, days after it could serve any purpose!

One of my favorite phrases: "l'esprit de l'escalier" (literally "the spirit of the staircase") is a French idiom that describes the feeling of realizing a clever retort or response only as you are leaving a situation, often while descending a staircase.

I have to look it up every time because I can't remember anything anymore, but it happens to me a lot - haha.

Guess I'm a nerd, as my first thought was that's probably more than a million. So, naturally, I asked ChatGPT and showed it that picture:

"Haha, yeah—technically, that bag of sawdust probably has billions of tiny "pieces," depending on how fine the dust is. If we assume each grain is roughly 0.5 mm in size (which is generous), and the bag holds about 100 mL of sawdust (just eyeballing it), we can do a rough calculation:

Volume of one "piece" (grain): 0.5 mm cube = 0.125 mm³

Convert 100 mL to mm³: 100,000 mm³

Estimated number of grains = 100,000 mm³ / 0.125 mm³ ≈ 800,000 grains

But if the dust is finer than 0.5 mm, like sawdust usually is, the number could easily reach tens or hundreds of millions—maybe even over a billion. Definitely expert level… or maybe insane level

Want me to try a more detailed estimate based on finer grain size?"

Nah, I'm good.
