There are. I spent much of my youth skiing there in cagouls, leather boots, cable bindings and wooden skis. It was (and I understand still is) a miserable experience.

True but pairing that with middle class holiday angst is genius.

Of course! Come for the FX market commentary, stay for the economic analysis of budget ski holidays.

Been in Bardonecchia many times (family connection) and the skiing cheap and cheerful. Food is superb as it always is in Italy.

A sad day. Not also the twelve string electric guitar which gave Chou Parrot much of their distinctive sound.

Similarly brain-melting statements include "democratising access to" <insert complex asset class here>. What? We're all going to vote on it? FFS.

I particularly like those statements about people "tokenising stocks". Wait wait wait. The whole point of a share/stock is that it is a "token" which gives you "fractional ownership" of a company. Guys, we've already done this.

With air resistance, the cow needs about 0.01% of the sun's total energy output over a period of about 300ns to reach the edge of the atmosphere with enough velocity to go round the moon. This amount of energy is going to turn your cow into plasma very very quickly.

Including air-resistance is complicated but in vacuum, the cow would have to suffer an acceleration of about 62x10^6 ms^2. Or ~6m G. Which is going to result in meat paste.

Originally it was whether or not a cow could jump over the moon. I have a whole Jupyter notebook with the calculations. There were many simplifications (including a spherically symmetric cow with 100cm legs).

I would imagine that once you’ve included staff, marketing costs, the absolutely submicroscopic market of people who will pay £11k for an Ethernet cable etc, the business just about breaks even. Such is the way of things in the world.

Weird. I find that my web browsing is also amber and nutty when I connect my computer to the router with a gold Ethernet cable. I’ve checked out the ones and zeros and they too have a velvety subtexture.
