Hi! Any Nerds here?
Not sure what all to say by means of introduction.

I'm a mathematician and a life-long atheist. (Yeah, I'm old as dirt.)

And a bit of a nerd, I'm afraid.

Hi! Any Nerds here?
Hello, welcome.
As you will find, the real question is, is anyone here *not* a nerd ?

Welcome Woof.

I'm not worthy of being a nerd, just a geek.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I didn't know there was a difference.

I really need to get out more.

This is some of us:  today having lunch with my sister at Mel's Diner as we discussed putting a restraining order against our little sister who forged a check on our 92 year old mom's account I emptied the jelly caddy and sorted all the jellies by flavor and put them back into the caddy one at a time oriented the same way with the flavors segregated in their columns automatically without thinking about it.

You're in good company, Mr. Right Triangle  Sun

Was that compulsion to (A)escape the situation/discussion or (B)would you have done it no matter what the circumstances?

I'm some from column A and some from B.

To be ruthlessly honest had the discussion been about more pleasant matters I probably would have done it twice!   Tongue

I am also a mathematician and life long atheist. What area of math is your specialty?

I’m not quite as old as dirt, but I am retiring at the end of this semester.

Oh, man!

Let's just say that my favorite line is "what matters is understanding patterns of symmetry".

You can't imagine what it is like to work from home!

I've never felt so much freedom!

You're going to love it!

If you use your head, you'll never get tired!

(At least, that's what the Physicists say. Maybe we can trust them, and maybe we can't. After all, while that force may mean jack, it's still non-zero, and what is zero is delta x, not the frickin' force itself.)

May the Force be with you!

They don't let us out much, either, for obvious reasons.

African roots in Latin America: Palenque (Colombia) | Armin Schwegler | TEDxUCIrvine

This talk illustrates how linguistics and population geneticists have recently managed to reconstruct the precise African roots of descendants of African slaves that were transshipped some 400 years ago from Black Africa to Latin America. The talk focuses on Palenque (Colombia), where special African traditions and an unusual creole language have been preserved to this day.

Professor Schwegler’s research emphasizes the study of Latin America from a linguistic, social, and historical perspective. For three decades, this has led him to explore in depth the precise African origins of Hispanic communities whose roots are found in the transatlantic slave trade. Using population genetics (DNA) research to complement humanistic investigations, his work shows that “lost history” can indeed be reconstructed with precision. To that end, he has traveled widely and afar, and published several books and over 60 research articles.

Well, nerds or not, all that any of us can do (and what is impossible for any of us to avoid) is to choose ourselves.

Thanks for the welcome!

I hope that you aren't sensitive, because us nerds can have a rather acerbic sense of humor.

Especially us Bob Marley fans.

There's a reason why they think we're crazy!

And there's a reason why we have a bad reputation!
