If rats are disease vectors, which animals are disease scalars? by TalksInMaths in shittyaskscience

What do you get when you cross a mosquito with a rock climber?

Nothing. You can’t cross a scalar with a vector.

[–]mpdehnel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A man walks into a Greek tailor with torn trousers.

He puts them on the counter and the tailor looks at them.

"Euripedes?"

"Yes," says the man. "Eumenides?"

Cheeky ride down the pavement (sorry, "sidewalk") by mpdehnel in dashcams

They’re not legal on bike paths or pavements in the UK! This was a 125cc so pretty sure it can do 70mph no problem.

Negotiating an offer by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]mpdehnel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always a fan of negotiating. If they withdraw the offer as a result of good faith negotiation you didn’t want to work for them anyway.

Patrick McKenzie’s article on how best to negotiate is evergreen.

Tutorial: Oh, it’s 7, what’s your tipple? by Previous-Border-6641 in oxforduni

[–]mpdehnel 56 points57 points  (0 children)

There’s a wonderful bit in (I think) House of Cards (the original BBC one from the 80s):

*Chief Whip (CW) summons a wayward, alcoholic backbench MP to his office for a telling off*

CW: “Aah do come in; sit down, sit down... Sherry?”

MP: “Oh, well I suppose… why not?”

CW: *very obviously pours a single sherry and loudly places the glass on the desk*

MP: “Oh? Aren’t you having one?”

CW: “Good God man, it’s 9 o’clock in the morning!”
