Guy: I've had Covid like 8 times and I'm fine.

Me: *Checks off "Brain Damage, mild dementia" on his list of symptoms*

Which is better way to find the area of a circle?

1. pi X diameter squared, written with soot on some pressed reeds

2. Take all the known areas of all known circles that have ever been, stuff them into a tokenized data base, power up a nuclear reactor to crunch the numbers, then give an approximate answer that's judged to be right 81% of the time by slaves employed in a sweatshop in Ghana, then present the results at a board meeting while the ice caps melt?

This weekend, I'm gonna go stare at The Great Unfrozen Lake, which used to be the jewel of the subarctic on this continent, and contemplate the Fast Approaching End of Everything here on Earth that I ever cared about.

Also, probably drink some pretty good coffee. :bobross:

Suggestion: Whenever someone tries the "Reasonable" game on you, demand they change the word to "effective."

"What are reasonable solutions to climate change?"

No, "What are *effective* solutions to climate change?"

"What are reasonable Covid precautions?"

No, "What are *effective* Covid precautions?"

We don't talk about "reasonable" ways to escape from a great white shark or avoid a gasoline tanker that has overturned.
