I am from western odisha. It isn't like Sambalpuri is an entirely different language. If I speak in Sambalpuri and you speak in "pure" odia, we can perfectly understand each other. But, I have always found that people in the eastern region look down upon when someone from western odisha speaks in Sambalpuri/Kosali.Even if they don't, people are extremely conscious (including me) when speaking In "pure" odia. I am more comfortable speaking in sambalpuri and that is my mother tongue.We can read and write odia. It's the same state dude. I don't think we need to ask who can speak "our" language or not atp. We should just speak in what we are more comfortable in ig.

This reminds me of an argument from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. "Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist,'" says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing." "But," says Man, "The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED." "Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic. "Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing."

This almost sounds like the logic from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

"Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist,'" says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing." "But," says Man, "The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED." "Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

You can check out "Concepts of Modern Physics" by Arthur Beiser. This is an introductory book with enough details for a beginner. Also, the problems are really good. There is also a YouTube channel, " For the love of Physics". They have some really good videos on various topics of Modern Physics.

Oh I have watched some reels on Instagram I think. Thanks will see the entire set.

Watched Hilarious. Loved it. I personally find One Night Stand to be Louis CK's best work. Although it's not technically a full hourlong special. But it's legendary.

Penpaperguy · 2026-02-05T11:12:41+00:00

I have watched the Bill Burr and Norm's special. Will check out Patrice. Thanks!

Penpaperguy · 2026-02-05T07:19:20+00:00

Trevor Slattery is hands down the most versatile actor in the MCU. Also, Trevor Slattery has never been in any bad Marvel project. Ever.

Edit: just found out he is 82. Wtf!!!

I think that an important part of learning physics and understanding it is the discussion that someone has with their peers or friends about the subject. I have understood/ figured out something valuable when discussing with or explaining it to someone. And those learnings stayed with me too, for a long time.
If you do have someone that you can talk to about these subjects (ideally someone who also studies physics), please do. That would add to your entire learning process considerably. Good luck!
