  Visit some of the National Parks, aka America’s best idea.

  Some amazing ones (they’re all amazing, tbh) in no particular order:

  • Yosemite
  • Arches / Canyonlands (close to each other)
  • Yellowstone
  • Grand Tetons
  • Glacier
  • Denali
  • Olympic

  Thanks, the article piqued my interest and after hearing all this I might have to check it out.

  Same here. Another math-centric channel that’s super interesting is Numberphile. Binged a lot of those

  Lower. Another mathematician derived the proof for the upper bound.

  Some interesting bits from the article:

  Anon is credited as the first author in the paper

  Computers are able to calculate superpermutations for n = 4 and n = 5 but not for anything beyond that.

  Since the series in question has 14 episodes, it would take 93,884,313,611 episodes to see all possible combinations. Or roughly 4 million years of non-stop viewing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a metaphor you like in your language?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “El correo de las brujas” translates to “the witches’ mail” and means gossip or rumors. Kind of like “heard it through the grapevine” or a “a little birdie told me”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨David Lynch Dead: 'Blue Velvet,' 'Twin Peaks' Director Was 78⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  RIP. I appreciated his artistic integrity and willingness to take risks.

  Side note, David Foster Wallace’s essay on Lynch filming Lost Highway is great. As is his interview with Charlie Rose where he talks about writing that essay and the impact of Blue Velvet(starts at 4:50 but the whole thing is worth watching).

  Ah, you’re back

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨David Lynch suffers from emphysema, no longer able to direct in person⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s tough, wish him luck. I remember reading David Foster Wallace’s essay in A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again about Lynch filming Lost Highway and that he was an avid smoker of American Spirit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Basic thoughts after I recently re-watched the Craig-era Bond Films⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. Casino was a great intro to the more serious tone and Skyfall had great atmosphere. Had high hopes for Spectre but just didn’t click for me.
